Does Lindsey even know what he's saying any more?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) predicted on Friday that a "handful" of Republicans will back a resolution to block President Trump's emergency declaration to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

"A handful. … [But] there will be enough [left] to sustain a veto," Graham told Fox News, asked how many Republicans would vote with Democrats in the Senate.

Graham didn't offer a specific number for how many of his Republican colleagues he thinks will back the resolution.

Sounds like he's really not too sure of his prediction.
The House is expected to vote on a resolution on Tuesday that would block the declaration.

If all 47 Democrats voted for the resolution to block the declaration, they would need to win over four Republicans to send the measure to Trump's desk, where White House officials expect he would use his first veto of his term.

But Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) is the only Republican senator who has said that she would vote for the resolution.

"I don't know what the vote situation will be in the Senate, nor do I know exactly what that resolution will say, but it is a privileged matter. That means that it will come before the Senate for a vote, and if it's a clean disapproval resolution, I will support it," she told reporters in Maine on Wednesday.
She's talked shit in the past and failed to follow up.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
