Sen. Lindsey Graham, a long-shot candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, announced Monday that he is abandoning his campaign for the Oval Office.

Greece Set to Recognize “Palestine”
Mr Tsipras travelled to Israel last month when he met both Mr Abbas and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said Abbas’ visit to Greece signals the “strengthening” of traditionally historic ties between the two.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s (R) campaign also touted at least two Graham converts only minutes after the senator’s public announcement. Lindsey’s friends and supporters take consolation in the assurance his voice will continue to be prominent in the U.S. Senate, where his message of inclusiveness, optimism, and forward-looking leadership will serve as a needed rebuttal to those who advocate a narrower and pessimistic vision for our party. “I have bad news to share with you – the radical Islamists are not exhausted of fighting you”. The senator told CNN that he has “no intention” of endorsing another candidate anytime soon, and he’ll be focused on spending time with his family.

But beyond the stats are some similarities in style with both players comparable in size, arm strength and athleticism. “It hurts. James Jones has caught 35 passes for 660 yards ( team best 18.9 yards per catch) and has seven TDs on the season.
But Graham’s candidacy never caught fire, in spite of a spirited endorsement from his buddy McCain, who appeared in a television ad for Graham and joined him on the campaign trail.

In his briefing, McCallum said that public servants in Lebanon and Jordan are working to “hit the target that we set”. A plane was in the air on Wednesday morning with 298 Syrians bound for Montreal, McCallum said .
Graham’s departure frees his SC backers to get behind other campaigns.
Nine other members of Graham’s operation have also chosen to help Bush, including three co-chairs of Graham’s state finance operation. In the Las Vegas debate spin room, after what will have been his last “undercard” performance, Graham said that he would push at least through the New Hampshire primary. “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 add that Trump “doesn’t represent my party” and that Trump is “the ISIL man of the year”. His most frequent target was the Tea Party faction of the Republican Party and specifically Kentucky Sen. “I got into this race to put forward a plan to win a war we can not afford to lose and to turn back the tide of isolationism that was rising in our party”, he said.
Graham campaigned as a social and economic conservative, and as an overly-ardent advocate for military interventions in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Graham’s poor poll numbers have disqualified him from taking part in the previous five major Republican presidential debates. The incident at the beginning of Graham’s campaign when Donald Trump gave out his phone number publicly, caused a series of catty exchanges which proved only to improve Trump’s poll number.
Amid escalating fears of terrorism, Graham drops out of the race knowing that even if his niche evaporated, his signature issue is alive and well.
Amen. That’s the Lindsey Graham we’ll miss. He never cracked the main debate stage.
