    Sounds about right. Lindsey Graham even said that this would happen…so…they shouldn’t be even remotely surprised.

    They had their chance, they had a chance to separate from Trump to build a new identity. Hell even had a candidate who would have worked for them. Instead they let Trump dub their guy the meatball and completely derail the process. They didn’t have the balls to take a chance and change and now it’s too late they don’t have enough time.
