Sen. Lindsey Graham admitted on the same day he dropped out of the 2016 presidential race that the more moderate wing of the Republican Party is a thing of the past.
"What's happened here is sort of my lane of the party has collapsed," Graham said in an interview with CNN's Kate Bolduan, when asked why he isn't holding out until the South Carolina primary on February 20th.
"At the end of the day, I'm not going to be competitive in my state if I'm not competitive outside my state," Graham said, noting that he was once a front-runner in the state. "South Carolina's been incredibly good to me. I would be competitive in South Carolina, but I've got to show traction outside the state."(continued)

Why not? That’s what your wing of the party does best.

Not his "wing," his "lane."
He uses the word a lot.
It's hard to know what he means by it.
Moderate or Establishment or neocon or Bushite or hawkish or pro-more immigration or ideologically impure.

No, Lindsey, your political party FAILED its voters by saying one thing and doing another.

Yes Linda, the left wing of your party has collapsed.
Quite some time ago.
If you didnt have your head so far up Mc’Cains ass you would know this.

If Ms.Limpsey were to lose the South Carolina primary
to anyone, the next senate election would be difficult for
her. IMHO

This Homo can't stay away from a TV camera. STFU Graham. No one wants you around. He must be primaried and sent packing along with John McCain.

Linda, Rubio & Christie were all placeholders for Jeb Bush. Favorite sons who, it was hopped, win their homestate primaries. Jeb would ‘draft’ on them and finish 2nd in all those states and in so doing build up a pile of delegates. The others, like rabbits in a foot race, would die off one by one before the convention.

Who is he kidding? The problem right now is that the two ends of the GOP are struggling to control the direction of the party, and both sides are fighting hard. Graham is simply not strong enough to take a point position for the moderate wing of the GOP. He’s pretty smart, but he’s a wonk, not a leader.
