Is one of Donald Trump's biggest detractors now his biggest fan?

No, but Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) did say on Thursday he had a "cordial, pleasant phone conversation" with the presumptive Republican nominee on Wednesday. The pair spoke for 15 minutes and discussed national security issues, Graham said, and he gave Trump his "assessment about where we stand in the fight against [the Islamic State] and the long-term danger posed by the Iranian nuclear deal. He asked good questions."
