CAMPAIGN 2016: Graham drops out of Republican race
See Additionally Donald Trump’s most vehement critic is dropping out of the presidential race Lindsey Graham’s Way out from the race might have vital ramifications in a key early state A shocking candidate would fare worst against Hillary Clinton in a general-election matchup WASHINGTON – – Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has moved quickly to decide up some key members of Lindsey Graham’s monetary network in SC after Graham suspended his marketing campaign.

“I’m suspending my campaign but never my commitment to achieving security through strength for the American people”, Graham, R-S.C., said in a video message Monday morning.
In New Hampshire, which holds the first-in-the-nation primary on February 9, Bush picked up the support of Pam Patenaude, a former Graham delegate in the state. New supporters include Eddie Floyd, Anita Zucker and Bob Royall, all former co-chairs for Graham’s finance efforts in SC. He said that “While we have run a campaign that has made a real difference, I have concluded this is not my time”. Lindsey Graham announced today he was ending his 2016 presidential campaign.
The seemingly high point of his campaign came after Trump released Graham’s private cellphone number during a speech in Bluffton, and Graham responded with a humor-driven video in which he demolishes several mobile phones. Graham likely will be a highly sought endorsement. “I think we’ve done well in the debates, it’s just hard to break through because the buzz doesn’t last very long”.
175-c-21-(Mark Smith, AP White House correspondent)-“to take sides”-AP White House Correspondent Mark Smith reports it’s unclear how Graham’s departure will affect the GOP contest”.
But as he visited core GOP supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire, Graham did not abandon positions that separated him from the GOP’s conservative base.
During his hawkish campaign, Senator Graham fiercely criticised the White House’s current approach to defeating Islamic State and called for thousands of American troops to be deployed on the ground in Iraq and Syria.
Another South Carolinian who had backed Graham, former state Commerce Secretary Joe Taylor of Columbia, said he figures he’ll get behind another Republican, though he didn’t know Monday who it would be. “Plenty were demurring out of respect to Lindsey and now they can fully engage”, said Brad Todd, a GOP consultant who worked for Bobby Jindal’s political action committee.
It was a privilege to support my dear friend @LindseyGrahamSC – thank you for all you have done for the country you love & serve so well!
“My biggest problem is a lot of people like what I say, but not a lot of people hear it. I don’t want to be the undercard voice”.

“I’ve hit a wall”, he acknowledged in an interview with CNN, and said it was time to consider “getting out and helping somebody else” in the presidential race. But the quick-witted Graham has not won enough support in national surveys of Republican voters to make it to the main debates.
