The Washington Examiner ^ | December 21, 2015 | Al Weaver

Sen. Lindsey Graham admitted on the same day he dropped out of the 2016 presidential race that the more moderate wing of the Republican Party is a thing of the past.

"What's happened here is sort of my lane of the party has collapsed," Graham said in an interview with CNN's Kate Bolduan, when asked why he isn't holding out until the South Carolina primary on February 20th.

"At the end of the day, I'm not going to be competitive in my state if I'm not competitive outside my state," Graham said, noting that he was once a front-runner in the state. "South Carolina's been incredibly good to me. I would be competitive in South Carolina, but I've got to show traction outside the state."(continued)

Yeah. Jobs were sort of hard to come by for the Vichy government after May ‘45, too, and for the same reason.

The only reason he was running was to win South Carolina, then drop out and endorse Bush.

Lin, this is a pretty pathetic attempt to lul people with a false sense of victory. Your wing, AKA, “The whole damn mess of a party” is still very much in control and very much funded.

To the great damage of the country.

To paraphrase Reagan, it collapsed under the weight of its own folly.

To be “collapsing”, Lindsey is implying that “his wing” of the Repubbie party ever was built up anywhere in the US outside of Washington in the first place.
