Little Lindsey is glad all over about the #IrumpShutdown..."Mr. President, dig in."

Lindsey Graham Praises Trump Over Shutdown: ‘Glad He Picked This Fight’
“If we do not stand up now to make sure we get more money for the wall, we’ll never get any more next year,” the senator argued.

In a Fox News appearance Friday night less than an hour before the shutdown officially began, Graham praised the commander in chief’s commitment to push for $5 billion for the barrier. Anyone who disagreed, he claimed, was missing the point.

“When you make a promise to the American people, you should keep it,” Graham said. “The one thing I like about President Trump ― he’s trying his best to keep his promise. He promised to build a wall, and he’s going to fight hard to keep that promise. After the caravan, if you don’t see the need for more border security, you’re blind.”

The GOP senator bashed Democrats for refusing to give in to Trump’s demands, accusing them of acting “like children” and encouraging the president to get tough.

“I think Democrats hate Trump so much they want him to lose even though it would be good for the country to work with him on border security, and if he doesn’t break them now, it’s going to be a terrible 2019,” Graham said. “So, Mr. President, dig in.”

Time for him to put those incredible negotiating skills to work. Call Mexico. Let us know how it works out.

One day he is pissed at trump for pulling out of Syria, and the next day he is kissing trumps ass because he shut down the government!

I do agree that trump should keep his promises though. He promised a wall but that promise also included Mexico paying for that wall. Until he can keep the promise of Mexico paying for it, there should be no wall.

13. "When you make a promise to the American people, you should keep it,"... 'Mexico pays' promise?
