And @corbe why would you relish (or seem to relish) Trump being toast? What do you mean by that, and what do you think will happen.
If you think Trump will be impeached, you're wrong and it would be bad for the country.
If you think Republican congressional candidates will lose because of Trump, you are wrong and, again, it's nothing to wish for.
Even Lindsey Graham has become a Trump supporter now that he doesn't have McCain to pal around with. He even said he wished McCain had been healthy enough to get to know Trump better.
Lindsey Graham is the swamp. He told Jeff Sessions to recuse himself and then he turns on him calling for his firing. This is one big mixed up president if he thinks Graham who is a friend of McCain is on his side. Session is the right man for the job. It is in his voting record. He has a history going way back that says he will forward the platform of the president.
If the President wants to tweet about lowlifes in the Republican party Graham would be it.

Immigration reformers eye Gang of 8 revival
Several members of the group that fell short of getting immigration reform into law are ready to try again.

Lindsey Graham doesn't sugarcoat his prediction: Republicans are going to get thrashed in the November election, especially among Latinos. And it’s going to trigger another run at immigration reform in Congress next year, the South Carolina senator says.
“I’ll tell you what I’m going to do in 2017,†the plainspoken GOP deal maker said in a recent interview. “I’m going to take the Gang of Eight bill out, dust it off and ask anybody and everybody who wants to work with me to make it better to do so.â€
Graham isn't the only one eyeing a revival of the Gang of Eight, the bipartisan group of senators that shepherded a sweeping immigration bill through the Senate three years ago only to watch it stall in the House a year later. Propelled by a Republican establishment eager to make inroads with minority voters after losing them by steep margins in the 2012 election, it was the closest Congress came in a generation to overhauling the nation’s immigration laws,
Several influential lawmakers see another opening for immigration reform in 2017, especially if Hillary Clinton wins and the GOP takes another hit among Latinos. Mitt Romney was hammered for his “self-deportation†rhetoric four years ago. But that pales in comparison to Donald Trump’s vow to remove 11 million immigrants here illegally and calling Mexicans who cross the border illegally “rapists†and “murderers.â€
Gang of Eight leader Chuck Schumer is poised to become majority leader if Democrats take the Senate this year. And the New York senator already said immigration reform would be a top priority, most recently in an interview last week. The recent Supreme Court deadlock that left President Barack Obama’s controversial executive actions on hold demonstrated that, for now, major changes to the nation’s immigration policy will have to come from Capitol Hill.
Republicans are also under increasing pressure to act. Several GOP senators from Latino-heavy states — such as David Perdue of Georgia and Thom Tillis of North Carolina — were elected in 2014 and are eager to dig into the issue.
