Sorry we are where we are...

Graham on GOP: 'I'm so sorry we are where we are'

By Nick Gass

Donald Trump is "on the right path" by announcing he will meet with the National Rifle Association to talk about restricting people on terror watch lists from obtaining guns, but South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday said that he could still not bring himself to support the presumptive Republican nominee.

"Have you decided, are the two of you going to work together? Are you going to get on board with him?" asked "Fox & Friends" co-host Ainsley Earhardt.

Graham reiterated that he would not be supporting Trump or Hillary Clinton, because the Manhattan real-estate magnate has shown a "lack of understanding for how to win the war."

"But are you worried about what that means for the cost of the GOP?" Earhardt asked.

"Yeah, I worry a lot about the GOP," Graham responded. "I worry a lot that the GOP is cutting its own throat by doubling down on the idea that we're going deport all illegal immigrants including grandmothers that have done nothing but be here to try to earn a life."

Earhardt then pointed out that Graham's constituents support Trump, to which the senator responded by noting that he won less than one-third of the primary vote.

"I'm so sorry we are where we are but as to Hillary Clinton, if you vote for her, you'll continue the failed policies," Graham said. "Her approach to the war on terror is no different than Barack Obama. Donald Trump is showing some willingness to move. And all I can say to Mr. Trump, you're on the right path here, my friend. When it comes to making sure guns don't fall into the hands of the people that can't fly on airplanes. That makes a lot of sense to me. "
