Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters Sunday that "I feel pretty good about where we're headed" in Syria after suggesting that President Trump is "reconsidering" the planned pullout which had drawn bipartisan criticism and forced the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.
Graham emerged from the White House after a two-hour lunch with Trump and said the president "told me some things I didn't know that make me feel a lot better about where we're headed in Syria."
"He promised to destroy ISIS. He's going to keep that promise," Graham said of Trump. "We're not there yet. But as I said today, we're inside the 10-yard line and the president understands the need to finish the job."
Earlier Sunday, Graham called on Trump to reverse his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria in a wide-ranging interview broadcast on CNN's "State of the Union."
"If we leave now, the Kurds are going to get slaughtered," Graham told host Dana Bash, adding that Trump had discussed the matter with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford and was "reconsidering how we do this."
"He's frustrated. I get it. People should pay more. They should fight more," Graham said. "But we're not the policemen of the world here. We're fighting a war against ISIS. They're still not defeated in Syria. I'm asking the president to make sure that we have troops there to protect us. Don't outsource our national security to some foreign power. If we leave now, the Kurds are going to get into a fight with Turkey, they could get slaughtered."
Graham echoed that theme outside the White House, telling reporters that the Kurds "stepped up when nobody else would" to fight ISIS.

Lindsey always positions himself so that Trump has to invite him for a meeting to hold his hand....
Linsay-girl is too stupid not to speak Trumps wishes for him...
Makes one wonder what body part McCain was holding.
Cough cough
Just come out of the closet and be done with it.
Hey Lindsey, did you ever think, the reason why you feel better now, is because President Trump actually KNOWS what he is doing! At the end of the day, all the haters who called Trump an idiot will look like the morons they are, Trump is smarter than ALL OF THEM
Lindsey’s still got that wimpy side that he needs to crack down on.....like a little kid that needs reassurance. And I think Trump knows it too!
He’s become a work in progress now mccain’s out of the way. This situation was the weak side of Lindsey coming out......needed the soothing Trump effect to calm his whittle mind.
Graham... said the president “told me some things I didn’t know that make me feel a lot better about where we’re headed in Syria.”
Duh. Graham, Rubio, Jack Keane, Levin, etc. need to educate themselves. They don’t know everything.
p
Flimsey Grahamnesty has already shown US quite clearly that he has and will again betray the citizens with amnesty for illegal aliens.
He should be replaced.
Period.
(if you want to keep your country)
I get the feeling that Lindsey feels more liberated after McCain became a subterranean dweller.
If you know what I mean.

A girl likes to be wooed.
Graham is playing is next Chair of the Judiciary Committee card to push his neocon policies. Hopefully, Trump will go with his gut instincts on Syria.

Trump needs to be surrounded by loyal allies that can be trusted when it comes to supporting the MAGA agenda. His staff seems to be infiltrated by the deep state establishment to keep him in check. He being undermined by his own cabinet, and most of the actual MAGA supporters are long gone. Guys like Bannon had their problems, but at least they could be trusted when it came to supporting the MAGA agenda.
I feel pretty good about Graham feeling pretty good.
As long as we do what President Trump wants!
