Afraid of him. Why? Why would a long-term senator be afraid of Trump? Why would he suddenly change his opinion and kiss the ring? And it was sudden. They go out on the golf course and Graham completely changes his tune. Why?

What is so scary about the orange faced, bumbling, stupid hair former president? What, exactly? He's going to make fun of you on Twitter? He's going to support your primary opponent? So you lose your seat. Is that something to be afraid of? You retire, spend your days in the Low Country golfing and eating shrimp off the boat.

Maybe, Trump might yell at you. Oh, my god! He's yelling at me. I can't stand it. I'm so afraid. It must be my fault.

I don't know. Maybe it is just fear of Trump swaying the base. But I'm not convinced something else isn't going on.
