Graham drops out of GOP presidential race

December 21, 2015 By: Stephen Dietrich

  • Post

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, whose longshot bid to win the Republican presidential nomination never won traction among voters, is ending his campaign.

In a message to supporters and campaign volunteers, Graham said he felt confident that the Republicans would put forth a candidate who shares his ideals, especially around issues like national security.

“I’m far more confident today that our party will reject the Obama Doctrine of leading from behind and will provide the strong leadership America needs,” he said.

Graham was elected to the United States Senate in 2003 and is currently the senior senator from South Carolina. He sought to run a campaign as a moderate Republican, touting his years of government experience.

But in a race that has been dominated by outsiders like billionaire Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson, Graham’s insider status was a disadvantage. He was repeatedly relegated to the under card in GOP debates and was polling in the low single digits.

Graham’s exit thins a Republican field that has been repeatedly criticized for being overcrowded.

      “Sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity” is rampant in Congress. Among the “most ignorant is Lindsey Graham. The Senate would not approve a “moratorium” on Muslim “infiltration”. All I need to know about Islam I learned on 911. It is time to deIslamize the U.S.A. Islam is a theocracy masquerading as a religion. No Sharia law! Obama is a muslim. Obama is a traitor to the Constitution of the United States of America.
      THINK about it.
      The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim
      The Beltway Snipers were Muslims
      The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim
      The underwear Bomber was a Muslim

It will All Come out Very soon now. They are Running Scared…Can`t you sense it >?? This Guvmt. is going to be Overhauled from Top to Bottom… AND Can`t happen soon enough to Suit ‘WE Who Are aware’
        As for Lindy-loop…He is Only a Miniscule Pinch of dust to be Discarded. He never stood any more chance to be “Anything”…Any more than his SideKick, McCain did. He`s just as dumb as a gourd.

          I can’t even imagine why he and all the other RINOS even got into the race. The “silent majority” is so angry, so frustrated, so sick and tired of being lied to, so sick and tired of being betrayed that none of the establishment fools had a chance. Of course they were not spending their own money so what do they care? As so many are declaring “America needs a thorough house cleaning” and if we don’t get it we will do it ourselves. Why the he!! do most politicians want desperately to crush the Second Amendment? They are and should be scared to death of what they have unleashed. 2010 and 2014 said it all and Paul Ryan just made it official.

          • Bob says

            December 22, 2015 at 3:52 am

            The problem the Republican Party has is the number of RINOs in it. If they do not vote these Democrats (yes they are Democrats) out of office in 2016, the Republican brand is finished.

            The Democrat Party is so far left that there are no longer any conservatives in it. Democrats are mostly made up of liars, cheaters, and unscrupteous, people like Obama, Hillary, John Kerry, and Debbie Wasserman Shultz. The Party has so many communists, socialists, and Muslims (Obama, Jeh Johnson, and Valerie Jarrett) in it and that is why the whole world is in such turmoil. Of course, liberals make up the majority of our population because our school system turns out 50% of our youth as brain dead druggies, who believe the country owes them a living.

            We need new blood in our government, congress, and the courts, in order to turn us around. Special Interests (Donors) have corrupted the political process so much that the interests of the citizens are secondary to them. That is why all politicians need to be replaced by dedicated people who want to return us (our country) to the constitutional Republic which our ansestors built for us. Lindsey (Amnesty) Graham, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan are just a few RINOs who need to be defeated, run out of office, and retired so new faces can help accomplish the transformation to our roots. Come on Donald.

He changed as most do when they stay in corruption long enough. I literally cried listening to his eloquence back then. Who he has become speaks corruption being absolute. Shameful Lindsay. You are a progessive palming yourself off as a conservative.

            Yes it’s hard to believe it’s the same man At one time he was an American patriot, now he is a Clinton caliber liberal democrat. He may have dropped out, but that’s not to say he’s not still fighting Trump – behind the scenes – or Trump’s back!! The liberals are at it again, Trumpsters, along with the dirty GOP and other oath-breaking RINO politicians.. ALL TRUMP FANS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS **** The negative ads against Trump, all the ads for Bush paid for by the PAC Pimps, all of the hype by the media that Hillary can beat Trump, all the GOP candidates staying in the race with single digit % numbers, all the low polling GOP Candidates spewing negative comments about Trump, the media constantly bringing the low polling candidates on air to comment on anything and everything…..this is all a plan by the GOP Establishment to keep Trumps percentages below 50% in every state. This will allow the GOP establishment the opportunity to hand pick who the delegates will go to at the GOP National Convention even if Trump wins the popular vote. All popular votes must come in above the 50% mark in every state which will prevent the GOP from assigning that states delegates to whomever they want. Why do you think Jeb Bush keeps saying that Trump isn’t going to win the nomination? It is because he is in on this GOP Conspiracy to keep Trump from getting the GOP nomination. Bush is pretty sure that Trump will not make the 50% mark and already knows that those delegates will go to him making him the nominee. WAKE UP TRUMP SUPPORTERS AND SPREAD THIS TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE!!!!! This is sickening and no one is talking about it..the media isn’t talking about it, the GOP is banking no one starts talking about it. VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR TRUMP. Keep the GOP from bringing him down right before the National Convention. The GOP is banking on the Trump supporters not getting wind of this. They are banking on this so that after the primary elections are over it will be too late for us to do anything about it. They literally do not care if Hillary gets into office as all of them are sleeping together and are terrified if Trump gets into office all of their gravy trains will disappear. Obamacare, the Trade Agreement, Common Core all things that are making the PAC Pimps LOTS OF MONEY!! It is up to Trump Supporters to start to bring this to the forefront. The media never will as they are part of the PAC Pimps. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!! FOR TRUMP!!! The GOP does not care if anyone runs 3rd party because they do not care if Hillary wins. If Trump runs 3rd party and loses and causes Hillary to win, the GOP doesn’t care. The GOP will take Hillary over Trump.” (Either way, they’d still get to ride their gravy trains – at the taxpayers expense. They intend for Trump to lose, using every foul trick they can come up with.)

        December 21, 2015 at 2:03 pm

        Thanks for taking the time to construct/synthesize. Well put…The American people need to wake-up…Personally, unlike Donald Trump I don’t think that there should be a pluperfect blanket ban on all Muslims entering the United States. Upfront, however, I have an insuperable aversion to radical Islamists, Jihadists and Sharia law the latter which flies in the face of the U.S. Constitution. The first two seemingly are very straightforward/essentially black and white and elicit much less controversy than the latter.
        Conversely, millions of Muslims adhere to/propose to adhere to Sharia law and this is where the rubber meets the road because the tenets of Sharia law fly in the face of the U.S. Constitution which I respectfully believe should supersede any religious tenet or any other law in the U.S. This is where Muslim assimilation to our American culture/ Judeo Christian heritage and English/U.S law appear to be most difficult and a constant thorn/sticking point. I’m openly amenable to work openly and harmoniously with Muslims on those areas where we agree/where we can work together to amicably and equitably to work things out, but make no mistake about it I’m justifiably adamantly nonnegotiable on the preeminence of the U.S. Constitution and I respectfully believe patriotic Americans to include patriotic Muslim Americans should be too.

        I must admit that personally I like Lindsey Graham as I find him extremely entertaining plus pretty much spot-on especially when it comes to foreign policy. But I, too, must also hasten to add I don’t like the fact that he seemingly is a RINO and the GOP this time certainly doesn’t need a RINO to run against Hillary Clinton.

Yet he will drag this “”Run for the Money’ OUT as Far as he can Push it.. After all, If he Is Allowed to Take his “”War chest of donations [ sent From The ones who Do not Know Better ] .. WITH him… He may as well drag The Inevitable END Out as Long as The Bucks Continue to Dribble in his direction ! That`s What “Politics are All about, Is it not ??” Anyway, This IS How The Real Citizens of This Country ARE Viewing This Pointless Process. The LAST Thing This Country Needs is Yet One more bush in our face. As it stands Now, Only Donald Trump Has what it Takes..To put our Country back on Track.. And ‘Believable’ Again.

        its a good thing that graham has dropped out this gives serious contenders a better chance there are too many people running and all we can hope for is that hill will decide to drop out I know this is a dream however if the investigation continues and she is found guilty of not relessing state dept. documents her days will be numbered and she will be forced to drop out mainly because you cannot campaign for office as an inmate in federal lockup so before this happens it is better for her to withdraw than force another term of the same policy of do nothing like Obama has done for the past 7 years this is the biggest blessing the country could have and we could possibly restore our status as a great nation and do away with being the laughing stock of the world and elect a real leader who understands how the government really works and will abide by the laws that were written over 200 years ago.

On the national debates Wasserman- Shit Head will not be able to Protect her with just a few Million voters on a Saturday night. Hopefully after that she will have to defend her actions as SOD before a court for perjury and her foundation which is quickly admending it’s last 8 years of filing’s. Wonder Why?

          Aside from her having no credentials to even be considered a canadate for president. What does it say about what values the progessive life style is all about when their best canadate is a liar, embezzler, and is famous for her Marxist view of the child being raised by the community. Also the sexual exploits of her husband the disgraced president #42. Hard to believe anyone would want to go thru another round of that kind of scandal/horseshit. Hil acts like she has a backbone, something a president needs, Obama,s lack of one is on trail as I write. Hil had a chance to show Backbone by dumping her husband and his habitual sexual exploits, instead she choose political expedience. That says a lot about the lack of her character

      • Bob says

        December 22, 2015 at 5:05 am

        I agree Rick. However Hillary Clinton believes she deserves to be president next because we need a woman president. I disagree with her because this experimentation with having a black president worked out so bad. We do not need a woman president (especially Hillary) because she is evil, corrupt, inept, and the world’s worse liar.

        What we need is a president who will be president to all the people instead of president to special interests (like GM, GE, solar and wind companies, certain banks, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, and gays).

        Obama has our world turned upside down because of his Muslim faith. Just look at his failed policies in Syria, Iraq, Libya, and his nuclear deal with Iran. When George Bush left office, he had a plan to leave a contingent of American troops in Iraq in order to help it survive. Obama came in and removed all American military from Iraq, which left a vacuum and Al queda and the Sunnis (who were dissatisfied with the Shiites not including them in governing Iraq) formed an alliance (ISIS) to form a Caliphate in Syria and Iraq.

        Then Obama told Syria if they used WMDs they would cross a red line. Syria used WMDs and Obama turned to Putin to help him out of this situation. Thus Russia now has a stronghold in Syria.

        Obama and Hillary decided Gadaffi needed to go from Libya. They initiated a bombing campaign, in cohoots with The EU, to isolate Gadiffi which allowed Al Qaeda elements to kill him. This left a vacuum there and many of its citizens started fleeing the country.

        In Egypt (one of our strong allies) Obama used taxpayer money to oust Hosi Mubarak and install a Black Muslim Brotherhood man by the name of Mohamed Morsi. Fortunately for us, the military staged an overthrow of Morsi and now has a strong military leader turned politician.

        As a result of Obama’s failed policies, we have millions of Refugees from Syria and Libya displaced and seeking a new home. What needs to be done is to settle Obama’s mistakes and the Refugee problem would disappear. Syria needs to have a new government that does not include Assad, and the Libyan people need to form a government that will not include ISIS or Al Qaeda.

        The election of Donald Trump will solve a lot of problems that Obama and Hillary have bestowed on our country.

      ALL TRUMP FANS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS**** The negative ads against Trump, all the adds for Bush paid for by the PAC Pimps, all of the hype by the media that Hillary can beat Trump, all the GOP candidates staying in the race with single digit % numbers, all the low polling GOP Candidates spewing negative comments about Trump, the media constantly bringing the low polling candidates on air to comment on anything and everything…..this is all a plan by the GOP Establishment to keep Trumps percentages below 50% in every state. This will allow the GOP establishment the opportunity to hand pick who the delegates will go to at the GOP National Convention even if Trump wins the popular vote. All popular votes must come in above the 50% mark in every state which will prevent the GOP from assigning that states delegates to whomever they want. Why do you think Jeb Bush keeps saying that Trump isn’t going to win the nomination? It is because he is in on this GOP Conspiracy to keep Trump from getting the GOP nomination. Bush is pretty sure that Trump will not make the 50% mark and already knows that those delegates will go to him making him the nominee. WAKE UP TRUMP SUPPORTERS AND SPREAD THIS TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE!!!!! This is sickening and no one is talking about it..the media isn’t talking about it, the GOP is banking no one starts talking about it. VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR TRUMP. Keep the GOP from bringing him down right before the National Convention. The GOP is banking on the Trump supporters not getting wind of this. They are banking on this so that after the primary elections are over it will be too late for us to do anything about it. They literally do not care if Hillary gets into office as all of them are sleeping together and are terrified if Trump gets into office all of their gravy trains will disappear. Obamacare, the Trade Agreement, Common Core all things that are making the PAC Pimps LOTS OF MONEY!! It is up to Trump Supporters to start to bring this to the forefront. The media never will as they are part of the PAC Pimps. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!! FOR TRUMP!!! The GOP does not care if anyone runs 3rd party because they do not care if Hillary wins. If Trump runs 3rd party and loses and causes Hillary to win, the GOP doesn’t care. The GOP will take Hillary over Trump.”

    • 1American1st says

      December 21, 2015 at 11:06 am

      He is a total embarrassment to those of us in S.C.

      He stopped being a Republican when he joined the “Gang of 8” Immigration Reform BS to put Illegals on a path to citizenship instead of deporting them. That’s like rewarding a car thief by giving him the car he stole because he didn’t wreck it when he was driving it around. COMPLETE MORON!

      To prove he was a racist Democrat in Republican clothing he jumped on the racist Commie Democrat whore’s bandwagon, along with the Soros backed outside agitators who do not live in SC, to take the Confederate flag & the Confederate statues and memorials down. One drug adled teen has a picture of a Confederate flag on his Facebook page & everybody goes crazy to blame the flag. In my lifetime of 60+ years that flag has never been about “slavery”. It’s been about S.C., a region of the deep South, a laid back, common sense state where people “used” to get along until Obama came along with his band of Commie Democrats to try & start a Civil War.

      Now we look like Chicago, New York & other Liberal cesspools…Communist gray, no history. Of course Commie Democrats think the Civil War was all about slavery. They have no idea what “State’s Rights” even means.

      If “slavery” (that ended 150 years ago) is the problem, why aren’t the Democrats trying to remove the USA flag? There were a lot more white Irish slaves brought here than black slaves.

      Graham is a damn Commie Democrat & a traitor to the people of S.C. who put him in office.

        December 21, 2015 at 12:16 pm

        being from Arkansas and living in texas I understand the history of the civil war the main reason for that war was a little word called greed slavery was less than half of the problem because the south was collecting revenue from the cotton crops which were never theisrs from the beginning this was the biggest cause of THE TRAIL OF TEARS which forced the entire Cherokee nation to be driven from their homes and put in a location they knew nothing about the former slaves believe they were the only persecuted because of this greedy obsession however they had nothing compared to native americans the biggest most disgusting thing is that hey keep whining about racial profiling and discrimination especially with movements like BLACK LIVES MATTER im damn sick of them being the ones to complain about their so called abuse when native americans say little or nothing about the way they were depicted in western movies where they were treated like abimals however they accepted this kind of treatment and never protested however after a bumber of years their patience paid off especially in the state of Oklahoma where they now have millions of dollars in oil wells and nowadays they have gambling casinos as well so their patience has paid off. instead of this forms slaves have never tried to better themselves the think because they suffered a little bit of a hard life they are entitled to large benefits this has been ongoing for many years and the more they are given the more they want the worst part of this is that they do not try to better themselves but constantly demand more and rely on the back benefits they feel they are owed this has continued for over 100 years and because most of them have a short memory they received their payback in the 60s when l b j signed the civil rights bill Lincoln had already given them their freedom and after all this they stll demand more and more and do nothing to earn it but continue to bitch about their mistreatment

          How do you take someone dropping out of the presidential race and turn it into a racially charged rant about black people you must have some pint up anger inside of you . One groups struggle was just as bad as the others America effed both groups just be real the why do you think the natives don’t complain because they have prospered from their ancestors struggles blacks was never even given the option 40 acres and a mule never came through and lbj reluctantly gave blacks the right to vote mlk and others fought hard for that right and to be real it’s hard to complain when you have your whole community with millions of dollars pumping through it . You have to look inside yourself why do you hate blacks where does this come from I love everyone their is good in everyone god loves you and so do I have a blessed day

    Graham sounds more democrat than Republican or conservative. Now we need Christie gone. Because of what Christie said after hurricane Sandy, Christie gave more credit to Obama than Roomey. So because of Christie we ended up with a Muslim loving President who associates with that preacher Wright who hates the United States and al Sharpton. Even Ben Carson has stated he agrees with Al Sharpton on certain issues. Ben Carsen is a wolf in sheep clothing. Just like Powell who turned against Bush.

I believe Trump is the only one who really cares about this country anymore.we need a leader once again we have not had one since Ronald Reagan. no one likes Trump because the others are controlled by the Washington elite.they can;t buy or control Trump so now they want him out. Jeb Bush is doing their dirty work now for the Republican Party. joining Hillary Clinton.

    Barack Hussein Obama may not be an American Citizen. YTBD ????????
    Barack Hussein Obama wants to create a “Muslim Majority Population” in this country, including its leadership.
    Barack Hussein Obama wants to bring this country down to Third World Status, with no world power or persuasion
    Barack Hussein Obama wants “Full Control” and would like to take the governing powers away from Congress and The States.
    Barack Hussein Obama is a traitor to our Constitution and of the America way of life.

    The time has come for justice to prevail ! We have been a nation under law . Our Constitution has served us well for 200 plus years. Obama has worked to destroy us since the day he stood and took the oath of office as an illegal contender for president. If our Congress allows him to bring in more Muslims and finances their total sustenance from our taxes at a cost of $1.50 for every $1.00 we borrow they most definately will vote the way Democrats desire and our election outcome will have already been decided. Get out and Vote. The other issue is the present contender , Hillery Clinton. It is past time that she has not been indicted and has to give an honest answer to a judge in a court of law as our Constitution requires. Lying about Benghazi, lying about emails, lying about state department emails, supposedly taking money from foreign countries for her personal foundation, supposedly selling uranium materials to a foreign government without proper approval ; all while serving this nation as Secretary of State. Add to this unanswered questions about who gave a stand down order in affairs of Benghazi costing the lives of four Americans, one of them an Ambassador. I suppose the final question is would you working people out their truly like to continue in a free country living under Constitutional Law or Sharia Law governed by Islamists and whatever Muslims decide is your fate?
