Hicks: Graham is sticking with the GOP base, but the Republicans may not stick with him

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Well, crickets from the anti-abortionists ... and flamed on social media by Trump.
41% : But political expediency is in fashion these days, and it appears no one told Graham that principles don't matter much in a party that has increasingly become a cult of personality.
25% : The problem for Graham is that, even when Trump is semi-supportive of him, the base doesn't much listen.
17% : Which will do wonders for his already questionable rep. Now, obviously, Trump chose political expediency here -- someone must've shown him some polls measuring his staggering lack of support among suburban women.
9% : Not only did Trump actually, and uncharacteristically, take blame for something, he accused Graham of threatening to turn all of Washington over to the Democrats.
