The crowded GOP field just got a bit less crowded….first it was Walker….then Jindal…and now we have seen the last of another GOPer on the 2016 campaign trail….
Say good-bye to one Lindsey Graham, Senator from the great state of South Carolina……
One of the mainstays of the undercard GOP debates is out: Lindsey Graham tells CNN that he’s suspending his campaign for president. “I’ve hit a wall here,” says the conservative South Carolina senator. Graham has been consistently polling near the bottom of the pack and hasn’t qualified for the main debate once. The likely key factor: Monday was the deadline for Graham to remove his name from the primary ballot in South Carolina, notes Politico. Being able to do so allows him to avoid the possibility of an embarrassing home-state loss.
“Here’s what I predict. I think the nominee of our party is going to adopt my plan when it comes time to articulate how to destroy ISIL,” says Graham. “To those in the Republican Party who want to win, check my plan out. Hillary, if you get to be president, I’ll help you where I can. I hope you’re not. But if you are, I’ll be there to help you win a war we can’t afford to lose.” An email to supporters was expected to go out later Monday.
Sad to see him go….that is right I said I am sad to see him go…..you see he was the ONLY candidate on the assembly line that has actual foreign policy experience…..granted he was a hawk and I did not agree with him on much …..but at least he could talk with some air of experience….sadly the rest of the clown parade cannot.
Bye Lindsey…..we hardly got to know ya……
On what do you base your statement that he was the only candidate with foreign policy experience?
Senate…..he is either is or was on the foreign relations committee or something similar….damn sight better than any of the others….Rubio cannot remember where the Senate is and Cruz cannot spell Senate…..maybe experience was too strong a word…possibly knowledge would have been better….chuq
Maybe you were referencing just the Republican side, but Hillary compares favorably on the level of experience. Not that I’m a fan of hers.
Sorry, yes I was talking about the GOP….Clinton….she flew a lot of places but I do not see any grand deals and such….I’m not a fan either….chuq
Aw gee…and I was just 2 weeks away from giving a fuck! 🙂
LOL……
LOL!
I’ve never, in my life, heard that name… He’s a national politician? He was a candidate?
Gosh, I feel wonderful! I have finally succeeded in ignoring it all, completely!….
gigoid the dubious
You are so lucky….LOL chuq
Gladly, no luck involved….
😆
Dear Gigoid: It is not all that memorable. You have missed nothing.
