Lindsey Graham doesn't sugarcoat his prediction: Republicans are going to get thrashed in the November election, especially among Latinos. And it’s going to trigger another run at immigration reform in Congress next year, the South Carolina senator says.
“I’ll tell you what I’m going to do in 2017,” the plainspoken GOP deal maker said in a recent interview. “I’m going to take the Gang of Eight bill out, dust it off and ask anybody and everybody who wants to work with me to make it better to do so.”
Graham isn't the only one eyeing a revival of the Gang of Eight, the bipartisan group of senators that shepherded a sweeping immigration bill through the Senate three years ago only to watch it stall in the House a year later. Propelled by a Republican establishment eager to make inroads with minority voters after losing them by steep margins in the 2012 election, it was the closest Congress came in a generation to overhauling the nation’s immigration laws,
Several influential lawmakers see another opening for immigration reform in 2017, especially if Hillary Clinton wins and the GOP takes another hit among Latinos. Mitt Romney was hammered for his “self-deportation” rhetoric four years ago. But that pales in comparison to Donald Trump’s vow to remove 11 million immigrants here illegally and calling Mexicans who cross the border illegally “rapists” and “murderers.”

The collapse will be quick should crooked traitor H->! be immaculated.
Donald Trump Breaks Lindsey Graham Like a Boy

Perhaps Linda will do us all a favor and step out in front of a bus.
Think it is time to move to Montana ..
No internet …no TV
Better yet the San Juan Islands
How well did McCain do?
Sweet Linda never talked about dusting off the old 8 Gangsters
Immigration bill when he was running for re-election a couple years ago.
Graham is up for re-election in 2020.
The Rube’s campaign needs to be put down.
Other than remaining active supporting Trump and hoping he wins the WH, I've completely abstained from all politics and is solely focused on my well-being and security. I am NOT looking to politicians, especially Republicans, to save the day. Especially after today that Hillary will face no charges.
We are scant weeks away from a Venezuela-style collapse. My advice to FReepers: Have a plan, buy some emergency tools and food supplies, get armed, and try and buy some land in the country and stay out of the cities.
I have to laugh everytime I hear some tourist skier at Big Sky proclaim that they are leaving to return to “civilization”. The airport is quite near Bozeman, a People’s Republic if there was ever one. Now that a Habor Freight Store has arrived, there is NO reason not to live nearby.
Just SHUT UP you stupid ASS
Lindsey is an idiot. The FBI announcement today basically handed the election to Trump (he could still blow it).
Great post EEE.
We cannot change the corrupt system we live under.
But we can prepare, control and protect ourselves and families
for the coming collapse. That, we can all do.
“Think it is time to move to Montana ..

I guess you are from the East?
I assure you we have electricity, telephones, television and the internet here in Montana. Likely my property costs more than yours as well.
San Juans? More expensive (mostly) and all the above mentioned ‘goodies.’
I understand what you are getting at, but we are quite advanced here.
Peace.
Lindsey Graham has pals.
Dare we name all the other contributors to the Gang of 8?
We had one fool recommending to increase the Gang’s own numbers, of higher skilled temporary foreign workers into the USA, from 65,000 to 350,000!
Lindsey has company. Several of them ran for president. LOL!
Huh! ...do you have any evidence at all to make such a statement ?
I certainly think we at some point in the far future we can collapse like Venezuela, but nothing on my radar says it going to happen in mere weeks...
I do think the democrats will try to redo a 2008 type financial stock market collapse to usher in Clinton simply to scare people into voting for her...but not a total collapse
Bozeman is not a ‘Peoples Republic’ - that’s Missoula.
Lots of industry and high tech here in the ‘Zone.
Sure there are some leftists but there is a lot of conservative presence as well.
As far as I can tell the City gov’t is largely run by MtSU PC leftists. Gallatin Co., maybe less. It’s the main base of Ted Turner. I’d put Missoula, Butte, Helena, Bozeman and maybe Billings in the PR category. Montana is not the hinterlands nor like the recent past Idaho Panhandle.
Damn. I had Bozeman as a fall back. Best days fishing on the Yellowstone.
The announcement today made me wonder if we will ever get a chance to put Trump in the white house. :(
