Yep. Just kicking the can down the road until the midterms.
I have to say it's not unexpected from Senator Graham. Never shy of the camera and pleased with the response it gets in various GOP circles, Senator Graham has become one of those politicians a lot of conservatives see as a simple opportunist.
Some conservative outlets last week featured bold questions towards Senator Graham (among a few others) as to how he would vote on impeachment of the President should the occasion arise. While a speculative and hypothetical question that no person could legitimately answer if they had no idea what the Articles of Impeachment would include, it does indicate that some conservatives question the Senator as far as simple party loyalty.
What better opportunity would there be for Senator Graham to grab a few headlines, calm a few concerns among the base, throw a little support towards the party before the November elections (kick the can down the road as you put it), and wade on through until his reelection bid in 2020?
