Lindsey Graham claimed that since most of the Republicans now support sending American troops back to Iraq and Syria, his campaign has been successful, so he is quitting the presidential race.

Graham claimed that he had been successful in turning back the “rising tide of isolationism in the United States.
Sen. Graham said, “Four months ago, at the very first debate, I said that any candidate that did not understand that we need more troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria to defeat ISIS was not ready to be Commander In Chief. At that time, nobody stepped forward to join me. Today, most of my fellow candidate have come to recognize that this is what’s needed to secure our homeland. I am far more confident today that our party will reject the Obama doctrine of leading from behind will provide the strong leadership necessary to restore our military and take the fight to our enemies.”
Graham’s reason for quitting makes no sense. If his campaign were successful at all, he wouldn’t need to quit. The truth is that Lindsey Graham is dropping out because he is at less than one percent in the polls, and there is talk that Republicans may end the kiddie table debates.
Sen. Graham’s campaign was a total failure. He didn’t move the debate on sending troops back to the Middle East. Republicans got scared after the Paris and San Bernardino terrorist attacks and went back to trying to exploit fear to win an election. The Republican candidates aren’t listening to Lindsey Graham. They are pulling chapters from George W. Bush’s post-9/11 playbook.
Sen. Graham was a lousy candidate who will not be missed. By quitting now, Graham gets to save face before he would have been humiliated in his home state primary.
Nice try, Sen. Graham, but we all know that you quit because nobody in the Republican Party would vote for a pro-immigration reform war monger.
