Senator Graham believes Trump can be controlled by a GOP led Congress. To Graham, Trump can be handled to get the GOP economic and deregulation policies enacted, but blocked from the more radical aspects. Graham asks voters to assume Trump can be controlled by separation of powers. Its a risk Graham does not fully appreciate. Trusting Sen. Graham to control Trump is irrational. Even if a voter thought Trump becoming a dictator was only a 10% chance, would you put your family's future on a plane you knew had a 10% chance of crashing or the one with a .0001% chance? This election is about rationalizing analying risk. Trump is the irrational choice.

I think you’re right on. Graham shouts with righteous indignation in public because he wants Trump to see it. But in his heart he naively and ignorantly thinks the system will just hold up and protect him from being dangerously wrong. It’s a fool’s bet.
