Over the weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham continued his 9-day tour of New Hampshire joined by two-time New Hampshire Primary winner Senator John McCain. During his third trip to the state this year, Senator McCain told voters that 'Graham is the right person to turn things around'when it comes to our nation's security.

"'I believe the people of New Hampshire are not swayed by political ads,' McCain said. 'You make up your own minds, based on what you see. Well, our country is in crisis right now and we need a candidate who can bring us back to what we were. I think that is Lindsey Graham.

"McCain spoke of the unrest in the Middle East and his opinion that Russia's Vladamir Putin is exploiting that because he senses weakness in the United States.

"'The next president has to reverse eight years of a decline in our power,' McCain said. 'That person is here today.'"

To New Hampshire Style House Parties...

 

Union Leader: "South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham Made A Forceful Case That He Is The Best Presidential Candidate..."

"South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham made a forceful case that he is the best presidential candidate to tackle his two top priorities — 'too many terrorists and too much debt' — at a house party here Sunday afternoon... But he mostly focused on his passion: foreign policy and strengthening America abroad. A veteran who has made 35 trips to Iraq and Afghanistan, Graham said President Obama's withdrawal from Iraq and inaction in Syria have made the world more dangerous. Pointing to Obama's failure to follow through on his threat of a 'red line' when Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons, Graham said, 'Russia and China saw that as weakness, and they're eating our lunch. And I'm tired of it.'" (Eli Okun, "Graham urges American strength at Hudson house party," Union Leader, 10/11/15)

" ...they liked what Graham and McCain had to say.

That included Vietnam War veteran Thomas Scanlon, 66, of Salem.

"'Sen. Graham has always stood up for veterans,' he said. 'Even if you disagree with them, you have to like what they have done for this country.'"
