Graham: Entire U.S. Senate disagrees with Trump
Senator Lindsey Graham says 99 senators agree that Russia interfered with the U.S. election.

There are 100 United States senators. Amy Klobuchar is on this trip with us. She’s a Democrat from Minnesota. I would say that 99 of us believe the Russians did this and we’re going to do something about it,” said Graham, who is planning a hearing with McCain on Russia’s interference with US elections. “We’re going to put sanctions together that hit Putin as an individual and his inner circle for interfering in our election, and they’re doing it all over the world — not just in the United States.”
McCain, Graham and Kloubuchar are also headed to Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Georgia and Montenegro to meet with officials about the Russian threat. The intelligence community has formally blamed the Kremlin for interfering in the most recent presidential election, using sophisticated hacking schemes and cyber intrusions to expose the emails of Democratic Party officials.

Impeachment is looking like it might be easier to achieve than dear tRump would like. If you fight your own party over the obvious, there will be little loyalty.

Forget the 50 states — Trump identifies best with the State of Denial.

And many will get through the next 4 years in the State of Inebriation.

The upper chambers diametrically opposed to McCain? Confused (R-KY) Rand Paul seems the likely nominee. Runner up maybe (R-FL) Rubio.
There maybe hope! McCain declined to say whether there would be a confirmation showdown next month in the Senate, noting that presidents tend to have the right to pick their own advisers. But McCain said he had “concerns” about Tillerson’s favorable posture toward Putin and Russia.

You expect me to believe Miss Lindsey grew a pair….
McCain is a doddering fool who will rubber stamp anything the house passes
