It's that strange time again in American politics when politicians endorse candidates they have repeatedly said they can't stand.
For months, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has been warning the nation about Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. But on Thursday, Graham told CNN that not only is he supporting Cruz, he's fundraising for him. Graham pointed to Donald Trump's rise as the reason, explaining that Cruz might be the only one to stop him.
"I think he's the best alternative to beat Donald Trump," Graham told CNN. "I'm going to help Ted in any way I can."
It's a strange position for Graham, who has said all kinds of terrible things about Cruz.
Let's take a trip down memory lane ...

women. Change their minds on a dime. it’s their prerogative.
I’d rather watch a yak explode
Gang of 8 member Lindsay Graham ENDORSING Ted Cruz.
Makes me question Cruz’s stance on immigration.
“For months, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has been warning the nation about Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. But on Thursday, Graham told CNN that not only is he supporting Cruz, he’s fundraising for him.”
Hahahahahaha. Well principled as usual. Good grief.
Soon he is likely to have at least two gang of 8 endorsements - Rubio will most likely endorse Ted.
Has Cruz told Graham to stick his endorsement somewhere yet? If he doesn’t that is pretty telling.
How silly.
Cruz didn’t move to the idiot RINOS. The idiot RINOs moved to Cruz. Cruz has successfully shifted these spineless twits to a more conservative position, at least for now. That’s nothing short of a miracle.
As untrustworthy as twits like Miss Lindsey are, it’s better for them to be on board than not, provided they follow the lead of conservatives.
:) never saw that one before
This guy is a cheap date, who did he endorse before, was it Christie?
Again this whole endorsement thing is "so yesterday"...
It’s no more than what Trump supporters expect of me.
“I’d rather watch a yak explode...”
Hmmmmmm...so would I. It’s a little disturbing, but I think you are right. Domestic or Wild? The Yak, I mean.
Lindsey Graham endorsed Cruz, not the other way around.
But if he endorsed Trump, you'd just assume that Trump was brilliant, right?
Nope. What it tells is that Cruz wants to win, as he should. Any endorsement that is not destructive should be accepted. Graham and Rubio both dislike Cruz, which is a big plus. If they endorse him anyways and bring any voters at all (I'm not sure their endorsement matters), then Cruz should take the votes.
If Bernie Sanders endorses Trump, I hope Trump will welcome Bernie's voters. While they have different approaches to solving problems, they agree on what the problems are a lot more than Trump and Hillary do. A Bernie endorsement would not imply that Trump is a socialist, just as a Rubio/Graham endorsement would not imply that Cruz is pro-Amnesty.
Where is the list of endorsements that Trump has rejected?
Just shows again what whores these GOP politicians are.
Wild...much easier to explain
