Lindsey Graham: I can work with Trump on defense
2016-11-16
[MILITARYTIMES] South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham
... the endangered South Carolina RINO...
, a frequent foe of president-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
on the campaign trail, said Tuesday he will look for common ground where he can work with incoming commander in chief, including a number of defense issues.

"I am going to help him," said Graham, who on numerous occasions said he would not back or support Trump, even as his own party’s nominee. "There will be areas of agreement ... and in others I will speak my mind and do my job."

Graham said he is encouraged by Trump’s campaign promises to boost defense spending, rework the nuclear deal with Iran and repeal military budget caps.

"Sequestration has gutted our military, and Trump is right to fix that," he said.

#4  Why so much attention to what Graham says? He might be the worst Republican Senator.

#3  Nice of Graham to finally get on the band wagon now that the election is over and he doesn't have any choice but I'm sure he would have preferred to work with Hillary. Trump will have better luck working with Chuck Schumer.

#2  Pure lip service. I hope Trump makes everyone reapply for welfare benefits when he takes office, just to watch heads explode.

#1  Democrats always let the military wither in order to pay for their dimwitted polices, then the Republicans have to divert money to replenish that same gutted military. And many don't see how that works and get impatient and vote more Dems in.
