Graham: There could be 'war' among GOP over border wall

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned on Monday that there could be a "war" among Republicans if President Trump declared a national emergency to build the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Graham, speaking in South Carolina, acknowledged that the idea divides Republicans, who he argued should unite behind the president if he ends up circumventing Congress to build the wall.

"It seems to me that he's gonna have to go it alone, but there could be a war within the Republican Party over the wall," Graham said.

Graham added that he would "stand with" Trump if he declares a national emergency to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall and urged his Republican colleagues to "get behind the president" if he goes down that path.

Thank you for showing this country that you are one of Donald Trump's most fervent sycophants and lapdogs. It should be clear to everyone who has ever heard of the man that he is the type who would out sell this nation in a heartbeat if it meant a pat on the head from Donald trump.

Maybe it's a bad idea, when the idea can't even carry the president's own party in the Senate? Alternatively, if it's such a terrific idea, why can't Trump make the case for it, instead of just shooting his mouth off about it?
