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.”

Sorry Lindsey, you yellow belly. You’re fired!!
So Lindsey is begging Trump for like the 5th time take the GOP over the finish line...I swear I haven’t seen a one man gang in politics like this ever
Nikki will send a text to Lindsey: “Can I come too?
I want to explain a few issues to Mr. Trump. Set the record straight!”
Might as well go down to the muddy river and pull out an old catfish and consult with it. At least you’d get the truth. The catfish would say nothing, PDJT would “learn” nothing, learn that the catfish knows nothing except bottom-feedin’, and he’d still have his wits about him.
Hey Linda, tell your caucus that it’s a two-way street.
Trump would still be president if the republican party backed him. Fu@# them. There is no republican party without the 80 million of US.
This guy is insufferable. A real gasbag.
Just a recon mission for enemy combatants. He’s hoping to get a free round of golf at the same time. Then he’ll go slither back under his rock.
I guess Lindsay needs to go to the head of the Republican Party after the big donors he was introducing to Nikki Haley told her to take a hike for her treachery to President Trump.
Lindsay for head of the Lincoln Project...
If impeachment 2.0 is finished, Trump should refuse to meet with him. Graham has no future in the party if they want to carry the base.
> If this is about putting your best team on the field,
Then you start by cutting the lousy players from your team and replacing them with someone better, or at least with someone who *is* a reliable team player, and not an unreliable prima donna.
The money quote: “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.”
This is 100% about begging Trump not to back primary challenges to the Liz Cheneys of the world. Which is bulls—t, IMO. If we have “GOP” politicians like Liz and Mittens and Sassy who voice support for the phonier-than-a-three-dollar-bill Dem/media narratives for a nice pat on the head, who needs them? Don’t fall for it, President Trump! Primary ‘em to hell.
Remember the shithole controversy. Thanks Linda but sit down and STFU.
Just say NO to Graham. Cheney needs to go.
Nimrata will be cooking food that stinks up a whole block that day.
I hope he tells that little McLame protegee not to waste his time coming to Florida!!!
The GOP is dead, they just don’t know it yet.
They deserve each other. What a marriage made in hell.
