They didn't say no withdrawal whatsoever wouldn't happen. Trump removing 80% of our troops is beside the point being made here.
But again, even if we accept that Trump's crew had a plan to negotiate with terrorists and get them to agree to things, why did they put it off until after the 2020 election? Hell, this isn't even about Trump specifically rather it's about the ability politicians have to convince people they have all the answers when they aren't in any position to do anything.
Maybe Trump gets us out of there the right way if we stuck with him in 2021, maybe Andy Dalton wins the SB for the Bengals in 2020 if we hadn't ditched him for Joe Burrow. My eyes tell me, not so much...but I can't prove it wouldn't have happened.
