Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham is dropping out of the 2016 race for the White House.
The South Carolina senator, who revealed the news in a CNN interview Monday morning, is the fourth GOP contender to drop out of the race, following Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. The move leaves 13 candidates remaining in the race for the Republican nod.

What wonderful news, I thought that he would stay until SC primary as spoiler. Guess his lack of support from home state finally sunk in.

DrudgeReport has not even reported this or if they did it was up for only a minute. Not important enough as....
DiCaprio describes filming ‘bear rape’ scene...
‘You feel the intimacy of both man and beast’...
‘You feel the sweat and the heat coming off the animal’...
Director: ‘It was a pure making love of cinema’...

I thought the entire purpose of LGâs being in the race was to grab a few apportioned delegate votes in SC to give to the main GOPe candidate at the Convention. Why wouldnât he remain in the race through the SC primary? Because his support was not even enough to do that, and I suspect he was bleeding through his cash fast.

Last night I heard that yesterday was the last day to exit the race and not be on the SC ballot.
That would seem to mean that by exiting, LG was helping rather than hurting some unnamed GOPe candidate rather than split the vote further

The hope was that in SC, where Lindsey is viewed as a good ole boy as much as he’s viewed as establishment - that he would siphon off some conservative votes.
Four years ago might have worked.....8 years ago it would have worked. SC voters - like everywhere - have learned so so so much about the establishment just in the last year, let alone the last 8 years.

Lindsey Graham was such a loser - and still is... wish the guy would crawl back under his rock. Guess his ‘military industrial complex’ friends who live off military graft couldn't buy enough votes to keep him in the race. So now he's just turned mean.
