Lindsey Graham to meet with Trump to talk future of GOP
POLITICO ^ | Feb 1`2 | POLITICO

Posted on 02/12/2021 7:04:14 PM PST by RandFan

Sen. Lindsey Graham said he’ll be meeting with former President Donald Trump in the coming weeks to talk about the future of the Republican Party.

The South Carolina Republican said Friday evening that he plans to encourage Trump to work with Republicans to ensure that they take back the House and the Senate in 2022.

“I'm going to try and convince him that we can't get there without you, but you can't keep the Trump movement going without the GOP united,” Graham said. “If we come back in 2022, then, it's an affirmation of your policies. But if we lose again in 2022, the narrative is going to continue that not only you lost the White House, but the Republican Party is in a bad spot

Trump has made it clear that he plans to remain active in Republican politics. He’s threatened to primary Republicans who don’t stand with him, including Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), and is mulling a potential run for president again in 2024.

“Trump's got to work with everybody,” Graham said. “You got to put your best team on the field. If it's about revenge and going after people you don't like, we're going to have a problem. If this is about putting your best team on the field, we've got a decent chance at coming back.”

Graham and the GOP need to work with DJT...OR THE GOP IS FINISHED...The never Trumper ruined themselves and let them dig themselves out of the hole they are in...

I'll never support one Republican that trashed and didn't support DJT...
AND LINDSEY NEEDS TO OPEN HIS EYES AND STOP THE TWO FACE B.S.

THE GOP LEFT ME...I DIDN'T LEAVE THEM...LET THEM FOLD...WHO CARES...WE NEED TO FIGHT LIKE ‘HELL’ against the liberal jackass democrats...

“Trump’s got to work with everybody,” Graham said.”

Not even Trump can sell that to Republican voters. A party led by Liz Cheney and Mitch McConnell is a dead duck.

LadyG just wants to find out what Trump’s intentions are, then run to his media buddies and leak everything. Frankly, if Trump meets with him I’d be p*ssed off at Trump.

The future of the GOP is Trump back in the presidency which he rightfully won. Hopefully by the end of the first quarter.

If it's about revenge and going after people you don't like, we're going to have a problem.

The people Trump doesn't like happen to be the people a lot of his voters don't like, such as Liz Cheney. Trump has every right to remake the GOP in his image, and escort worms like Cheney out the door.

From movie ‘Dune’
The ability to destroy a thing is the ability to control a thing.

Trump has the ability to destroy both political parties, and he knows it. He also knows they both have it coming and that the majority of Americans will back him up with their money, their time and energy, their votes, their loyalty, and whatever else he needs or asks for.

Definitely, President Trump needs to heed the lines of his rallying poem The Snake when it comes to dealing with Lindsey and way too many slithering creatures in the GOP.

I suspect McConnell thinks about the Chines shipping company bucks he makes and how to keep that rolling above anything else.

AIT you make a great point sheer lack of proper accountability doomed the Trump presidency.
That’s why populism/nationalist populism never works, it’s like a meth high at first everything is great cloud 9 sky high but then comes the crash and with it the sudden burn out.

I agreed NOT to use profanity. But, I sure am finding it difficult to keep my tongue... I wouldn’t give that homosexual/transvestite any more respect than a sick, sordid, degenerate deserves.

Lindsey Graham doesn’t want to address voter fraud, and he lied about going after the people behind Spy Gate. Trump shouldn’t listen to him.

So you want Democrat rule forever?
Are you going to vote for anti Joooooooo Constitution party? or are you gonna form an American party are you now?
Yeah you’ll get about 00000000.5% of the vote that’s after spending a vast amount of treasure in gaining what limited ballot access you can possibly can get ever tried to get ballot access before? It’s nowhere near as easy
