He knows Graham personally and the Senator has helped him on a few occasions, so he won't abandon him even though he is not happy with his subservience to trump.
While he is a good guy, and as I said very religious, he is about 70 and is somewhat racist. He probably doesn't think so, but he is nostalgic about the Civil War (he has a photo of a relative who fought in the war and lived until 1910) and just can't take the leap to vote for a black candidate. He does, however, have an overall favorable impression of Obama's tenure, again with the theme of competence and honesty, even though he voted against him twice.
