Lindsey Graham Bows Out Of Presidential Race

“I intend to be president not of a single party, but of a nation”.

As a response, Graham made a YouTube video on ways to smash your phone.

Graham’s withdrawal from the 2016 race for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday. has opened up some opportunities for his former rivals, notably in his home state of SC.

Monday is the deadline for presidential candidates to remove their names from the SC primary ballot.

Considering his form of “leadership” in the GOP primary this cycle with his persistently abysmal showing in the 2016 polls, I am open to the suggestion that nobody in the Republican party knows what “leading from behind” is all about better than Senator Lindsey Graham.

“I got into this race to put forward a plan to win a war that we can not afford to lose and to turn back the tide of isolationism that was rising in our party”, Graham said, referring to his call for a boots-on-the-ground strategy in the war on terror. “Today I’m 60, I’m not married, I don’t have any kids”, Graham said at one point, in what has been described as the “saddest” and “most surreal” answer of the August 6 undercard debate.

Graham’s poor poll numbers have disqualified him from taking part in the previous five major Republican presidential debates.

“At that time no-one stepped forward to join me”, he said.

“Today most of my fellow candidates have come to recognize this is what’s needed to secure our homeland”, Graham said in the video.

Graham team members in New Hampshire and SC are now backing the former Florida governor, according to his campaign. Graham was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1995 and served in the House until his election to the Senate.

While Graham strung together a set of forceful debate performances, he was always relegated to the “undercard” debates, which included the lowest-polling candidates and garnered considerably less attention than the main events. But now, Graham said, others have started to support this.

In a CNN interview earlier this month, Graham called Trump a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot”.

“Yes, I think they do matter”.

With Graham’s exit, the endorsement of Senator John McCain is up for grabs-and given the former G.O.P. candidate’s popularity in New Hampshire, expect dozens of candidates to suddenly begin kissing his ring. This is a coup for them, and to all of our Muslim friends throughout the world, like the King of Jordan and the President of Egypt, I am sorry. “As sorry as I am to see Lindsey’s candidacy end, I understand his reasons, and I’m as proud of him as I’ve ever been for his exemplary service to our party and our country”.
