Lindsey Graham says he'd welcome Caitlyn Jenner as a political ally. He'd work with Democrats on entitlement reforms. And he'd lower climate-harming emissions to address global warming.
As long as you agree there's "too much debt, too many terrorists," the South Carolina senator and 2016 presidential contender says there's room in his Republican Party for you.
"Here's what I would say to the talk show hosts: In the eyes of radical Islam, they hate you as much as they hate Caitlyn Jenner," Graham said. "They hate us all because we won't agree to their view of religion. So America, we are all in this together." ....
On domestic issues, Graham said he's not compromising on his own principles: He opposes abortion and supports traditional marriage -- but "without animosity."
"But if we can't agree on abortion, let's talk about taxes. We're literally all in this together," Graham said.
Asked about Jenner, the former Olympian who is now a transgender woman, who also said she is a Republican, Graham said he is "into addition."
"I haven't walked in her shoes. I don't have all the answers to the mysteries of life," he said. "I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope he's -- I hope she has found peace."
"I'm a pro-life, traditional marriage kind of guy, but I'm running to be president of the United States. If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a Republican, she is welcome in my party," Graham said.
He also said he believes the climate is changing as a result of emissions caused by man, and that he'd support "business-friendly" restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions.
He said other Republican presidential contenders should be asked, "What is the environmental policy of the Republican Party?" (snip)

There.....fixed it.
This Jenner business grows tiresome.
They should run as a ticket: Linda and Caitlyn.
That sounds about right. He always seemed a little bit of a sissy to me (Graham, not Jenner...until now?)
Uh, that’s Miss Lindsey....
You had your RINO fun in the sun years as the side kick to McLame. Step aside now Goober and take your old tired compromised song with you. Say hi to Jebbers on the way down.
The real question is “Is Graham’s too big enough Jenner?”
How I despise this man. But not because of Jenner.
Unfortunately, this cretin was just reelected to the Senate and the term doesn’t expire until January 2021.
Jenner is an abomination. Graham you lost me for good.
I think meant his tent when he goes camping.
Jenner is a fraud, He is not a “Caitlyn” nor is he a female. The Dem Party is the party of frauds.
That’s Bruce Jenner.
The good news is in this primary there are sufficient establishment GOP to dilute the RINO votes. Let’s narrow down the conservatives quickly into the one or two best candidates.
“Lindsey Graham says he’d welcome Caitlyn Jenner as a political ally”
Or a girlfriend. :-)
Lindsay Graham is a loser and I can’t believe anybody thinks he’s a serious candidate.
However, that said, I don’t care about the personal qualifications of anybody who votes GOP - we need more of them, whatever they are. That doesn’t mean the party should change or adapt any policies to conform to freaks, however. Bruce Jenner should know that voting GOP is good on a number of grounds, but it’s not suddenly going to make the rest of us want to take up the cause of surgically-assisted personal dysfunction or start providing special legal breaks for delusional 65 year old men who think they themselves are the babe of their dreams.
Maybe hanging around with some solid people will give him a reality check, and he’ll understand how his moment of personal delusion has been exploited by the left and how much contempt they really have for a disturbed, publicity hungry fool like Jenner. But, heck, he’s served their purposes - and perhaps he’ll come to his senses and regret it now.
Why doesn't he just switch parties then. South Carolina how can you keep reelecting this guy?
Half of the GOP candidates aren’t running for POTUS, they are on an extended book tour.
Love at first sight.
