Graham, who called Trump a 'nut job,' softens his view
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican senator who called Donald Trump a "nut job" and a "loser as a person" softened his stance on Thursday as the GOP sought to set aside their differences and unify the party.
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of Trump's harshest critics, told reporters that he spoke with Trump by telephone Wednesday, a 15-minute conversation in which they discussed national security, the threat of Islamic State militants and last year's international nuclear deal with Iran.
