Graham: Next president will ‘most likely’ be a woman

[n2doc]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday he expects the next president of the United States to be a woman.

“The next president, whoever he or she — most likely she — is going to be, needs to get these defense cuts set aside,” Graham said at the Center for a New American Security’s annual conference.

Graham has been at odds with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump since the two were rivals in the race for the White House.

He has recently urged members of his party to unendorse Trump after the billionaire repeatedly attacked a judge presiding over lawsuits against Trump University. Trump questioned if the judge, a Mexican-American, could be impartial because of Trump's immigration proposals.

1. There for a while he (Lindsey Graham) seemed to be...

Among the craziest of the conservatives, but lately he seems almost like a normal human being.

Hopefully they (conservatives) can see just how crazy they look with Trump leading the pack.

13. Graham's always been a weak-sauce McCain. He's not changed. The center of gravity has simply

shifted to the moon.

2. I wonder what these "defense cuts" are that he's referring to.

Sounds like something I would rather not set aside.

5. Sequestration is still in effect.

They just keep passing emergency spending measures every year to kick the can down the road.

10. Exactly.

I'd rather see defense cuts made by eliminating boondoggles rather than this 10% across-the-board scheme. It's highly unfair to federal workers. A mandatory unpaid day off every two weeks is one thing, but consider that no part-time job will hire someone on that schedule. So they're in a bind and can't make up the difference. We need to end the sequester.

7. Probably programs that affect big contractors. Planes. New Aircraft Carriers. Sharks with Lasers.

Base closures. Things like that. Might also be some of the sweetheart deals where Uncle Sugar subsidizes foreign military purchasers to keep jobs in the country, y'know...

Senator Graham has a lot of constituents that make a lot of money off the MIC. Has nothing to do with national security and the ability of the U.S. military to actually operate, but has a lot to do with keeping lobbyists and big conglomerates with their DoD subsidiary service providers happy.

3. This is just too delicious

I think I have a sugar high. They're tearing each other apart and they haven't even had their convention yet. Seems almost too good to be true.

4. I think I just saw a pig fly by.

6. Somewhere Jill Stein is nodding vigorously, assuming he's referring to her.

11. lol

8. There will be no defense cuts under Clinton - quite the contrary

[Thinkingabout]

9. Lindsay Graham has to most foreign experience of any of the candidates running for

President this time. I agree with him it will probably be a woman this time.

12. And Graham has always been widely known for his prescience.
