It’s the wrong old white guy! But I’ll take it as the first course!

Nah, it's one of the right ones.

I want McConnell and Trump, this feels like a bait and switch. I’m still hyped, but it’s not what I asked the witch I paid good money for

Graham’s election is now dead in the water so republicans will scramble for another Trump sycophant to replace him and be voted into office without issue.
