Lindsey Graham’s Out

1713
 

News broke sometime this morning: Lindsey Graham’s suspending his campaign.

Really, I’m ready for more candidates to start dropping out. After several debates, I think we’re pretty familiar with most of the candidates. Time for the field to narrow so the top few can get more airtime. Notable exception: Rand Paul. I’d like him to stay in it, not because he’s gonna get close to winning, but because he holds positions significantly different than the other candidates, and I think that the intra-party debate helps us, in the long run.

    Go Paul!  Do you think he will get most of Graham supporters’ votes? :)

    Grahambo has run out of ammo.

    Lazy Millennial on the cutting edge around here this morning. Well done.

    I agree with your comment about Rand Paul. He was one of the first (only?) candidates to get out of Republican’s typical comfort zones, speak at Howard University, spend time with community folks in Ferguson, etc. Additionally, I appreciate his contrast to Rubio and Cruz.

    I would also like to see Christie and Fiorina stay. Kasich, Bush, and everyone on the undercard last time can watch this unfold from the couch. They add zero value.

    I’m supporting Trump until Jeb! and his pile of money drop out. Then I’ll make my real decision.
