And Then There Were 12... Lindsey Graham "Suspends" Presidential Campaign Due To Lack Of "Buzz"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is suspending his presidential run, he told supporters on a conference call Monday. As Politico reports, his announcement came on the same day as the deadline hit for him to remove his name from the South Carolina primary ballot, a date that had been closely watched amid speculation that the low-polling Graham would want to avoid a potentially poor performance in his own state’s contest.

“I was hoping not to have to make this call, but I think the time has come for me to suspend my campaign,” he said as he opened the call, adding "one of the biggest problems we’ve had was to get our voice on equal footing with others. This second-tier debate process has been difficult for us. I think we’ve done well in the debates, it’s just hard to break through because the buzz doesn’t last very long.”

And then there were 12...

"I'm going to take some time with my family. Going to think about what I should do. I have no intention of endorsing anyone right now."

Who's next?

How anyone could NOT support these War Whores is beyond me; Don't tell me that Americans are tired of For-Profit wars. Americans love violence. Americans love seeing their favorite politicians screech, and carry on, about the injustices of the world...as long as a bunch of young people travel to far-off places, and get themselves paralyzed or dead. If Americans do that, it means that MIC profits climb. It's good for the stock price. 

Freedom, fuck yeah.

That is what the debates were for fucktard, you message came through loud and clear it's just that the proles message back to the powers that be was that suck not only dicks but that your open borders and war forevah was not going to carry you very far. The ssame goes for Chris The Humongous Bridge Troll, Jeb The Mighty Sprout and the rest of the losers. It is refreshing to at least see that you were so brainwashed and insulated from flyover country that you are still trying to figure out why your "message" was rejected.

Jef Bush is the Ruling Oligarchy candidate. So, money is not a problem. Therefore, he will go the all way to the Convention where he will be pushed into a Presidential or VP spot. Then another John Hinkley will come alone.

It was easy to get rid of Ron Paul at a Convention but Trump is another matter.

As for Hitlery, she is not a dream candidate for the oligarchy either since she get out of control as Hitler did.

The poll for the only people that matter came out, the 1%er CNBC poll. Overwhelmingly America's 1% prefer Hillary Clinton over every other candidate. Second is Rubio. Trump isn't even a factor. Rich Republicans support Hillary more than they support Trump.

So even though Hillary is supposedly going to go after Wall Street and tax rich people to death, they all know she will in reality do nothign and continue the policies of Obama that will add even more ill gotten gains to their fat wallets.

THE RICH FEAR TRUMP. Perhaps they fear that he will screw things up so badly that the stock market will tank.

EVEN IF TRUMP FUCKS EVERYTHING UP AND THE STOCK MARKET TANKS, THAT IS JUST AS PREFERABLE AS HIM MAKING THINGS BETTER!!!!!!!

Either way the middle class, or what's left of it wins. The stock market tanking would be the greatest thing to ever happen. Every time it has tanked, it has been good for the common man. The best times for the last company I worked for was 2007-2009 because we made something real. Once mark to fantasy took over and inventory stuffing became the rule, we were shut out and shut down. If a CEO of a retailer and the board couldn't make money off your company's stock, they wouldn't buy your merchandise.

The more odd part of this nonsense is that even when faced with clear evidence that this is impossible, he still persist with this hopeless  idea.

In my view, someone who cannot admit mistakes can not be a useful president.

 

I don't understand what Cruz is doing there.  I thought all president candidates had to be native born in the USA according to the constitution.
