Graham just said he has more national security experience than anyone else in this race, "that includes you, Hillary." The sad thing is, he has a legitimate point. He is the only person currently running who was active duty. EDIT: Shoutout to the best of the nation, the 1%... who serve in the military. Fakeout!

William Bear posted:Apparently Lindsay Graham legally adopted his sister after their parents died? Didn't know you could do that. If the age difference is large enough, and the older sibling is able to provide food/shelter/etc. for the younger, it makes sense. Generally it seems like it'd be better to have an aunt/uncle/grandparent/godparent adopt, but I could see cases where it would work.

Yeah, and in all that experience, he's apparently learned nothing whatsoever. neonnoodle posted:Is there any clear contender for the dem running mate thus far? I think the popular consensus is a flashy name like Warren, but I can't imagine the Clinton team picking someone who isn't white, male and boring. Evan Bayh, COME ON DOWN!

Not sure about Graham's situation, but sometimes there just aren't relatives to take them in.

And they know me." Because they aren't scared of him at all. He was a LAWYER. But they will gloss over that and pretend he was some sort of grunt. Perry was a pilot, which is a lot cooler.

Didn't Obama play a particular joke/troll on Trump a while back? I recall a camera shot of Trump going completely red after it.

They way they're grooming the Castro brothers, my money would be on one of them getting the nom, especially since it seems like all the other choices are, as you said, white, male and boring.

How many Republican candidates are there now? It feels like just about everyone who was a maybe decided to jump in. Bush'll join, obviously, but will Christie? He's not in yet, right? He's the last one I can think of in the maybe column.

Say what you will about Graham, but he has the best campaign logo. He's not trying to be hip or trendy at all. It's a logo you could proudly hang from banners at a mass rally where people salute their commander-in-chief.
