<span class="RACopyBody">WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is calling Donald Trump a "nut job" who likely will win the GOP presidential nomination, but lose in November’s election.</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">Graham, who unsuccessfully sought the presidency, said Trump is "just generally a loser as a person and a candidate."</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">The South Carolina senator said if Trump loses in November, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton will get the next Supreme Court choice and have the power to protect the health care law and block the Keystone pipeline.</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">Said Graham: "You can’t nominate a nut job and lose and expect it doesn’t have consequences,"</span>

<span class="RACopyBody">Graham said the billionaire businessman would lose badly in large part because of his stand on immigration. The senator made the comments to reporters at the Capitol.</span><div id="prtlt"></div>Matt Rourke
