"SNIP...........

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed his strong disagreement with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump over his opposition to a national abortion ban on Monday, predicting that Trump’s position would “age about as well as the Dred Scott decision.”

In a statement on Truth Social Monday, Trump came out against any kind of nationally-enforced abortion restrictions, declaring that what states “decide must be the law of the land, and in this case, the law of the state.”

“Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be,” he added. “At the end of the day, it’s all about will of the people. That’s where we are right now and that’s what we want — the will of the people.”

But in a statement of his own, Graham, a longtime backer of the former president who has sponsored a national ban on abortion after 15 weeks gestation, argued against Trump’s position.

2. Will age as fast as prohibition did.

3. As reliable as 'ever'

4. "that's what we want -- the will of the people."

Which people are you referring to Lindsey Graham?

Certainly isn’t Democrats or women, that much we know!

[Irish_Dem]

5. He will change his mind once the booze wears off.

[All Mixed Up]

6. Trump seems to have got what he wanted.

Now he looks like the moderate on his issue without likely losing any actual support from the right.

7. Trump team said "Dobbs is just the start" in their 2025 plan. It is just the start. The public knows this.

[All Mixed Up]

8. Do they?

If I'm the public, all I'm reading today is how Trump is being attacked from both the right and left on the issue.

He wanted to play it right down the middle and that's exactly what he's getting, including getting slammed by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Lindsey Graham and Mike Pence.

And he's not losing any of their support (except for Pence who doesn't support him).

That's an optics win for Trump.

10. Thanks for the article. I think pro choice young voters are sophisticated enough

to pick up on the nuances. It is them who will be affected after all. CNN has a panel that says nothing has changed in Trump's stance. I hope that gets to voters.

[All Mixed Up]

12. I'm not worried about the younger voters.

I am worried about the white suburban women in places like Pennsylvania and Georgia who might be open to Trump's new rhetoric. We'll see, tho.

Hopefully someone in the media presses him to give a yes/no answer on whether he'd sign a national abortion ban if Republicans passed it in the House and Senate.

[applegrove]

13. Yes. That seems to be what the talking heads on CNN seem to be focussing on.

And great Democrats like Barbra Steisand.

[All Mixed Up]

15. About white suburban women or pressing him on answering yes/no on the abortion ban?

[Cha]

9. Here's the Fucker's Recording.. Ending Roe V Wade.. Fuck TSF's "optics"...

As for Graham... Fuck him and his Opinion on Pro Choice for Women!!!!

[FakeNoose]

11. It's an easy call - Graham isn't up for re-election just yet

... and he's pretty sure Chump is going to lose anyway.

[Think. Again.]

14. The beginning of your title line caught my attention...
