Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is brushing off news that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is apparently backing his main rival for the nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Trump suggested Friday that Cruz was on the receiving end of a "jinx" after Graham, who endorsed Jeb Bush after ending his own campaign, signaled support for Cruz.
"Lyin' Ted Cruz lost all five races on Tuesday-and he was just given the jinx - a Lindsey Graham endorsement. Also backed Jeb. Lindsey got 0!" Trump tweeted. The businessman's remarks come a day after news emerged that Graham, a vocal opponent of Trump, would be hosting a fundraiser next week for Cruz.
Graham has long been critical of Cruz, and as recently as last month joked about the Texan being murdered on the Senate floor.

Graham at least isn’t boring like Cruz. Graham and Beck now that would be a team. Graham behind the bar Beck stabin out front. Cruz be careful who your friends are.
It looks like he supports Cruz about as well as Carson is supporting Trump.
Very weird primary season - and very entertaining.
Graham has supporters?
no, the Grahmnesty gambit is thwarted completely by eventually making the power securing alliance with Trump
it is just a matter of time and primaries
The RNC is scared to death of Trump, and they’re pulling out all of the stops to try and prevent his nomination. A Trump presidency would mean that these lobbyists and “consultants” would have to get real jobs.

I agree... and who of us here on FR have not literally gasped at some of the RINO actions taken by Trump endorser Christ Cristie!!
Beck has a saying “show me your friends and I will show you your future.”
Christie - for all his faults comes from the other side of the establishment - attorney general and gov side - like his mentor Giuliani - attorney general and then mayor. The GOPe beltway group seems to be a different faction.
Did these gushing establishment stooges honestly not see this coming?
Trumps comment is funny and true at the same time.
The Cruz coalition includes Glenn Beck and Linda Graham.
Looks like a freak show to me.
Old news. That was pre Tuesday. Did it hurt trump? Keep reaching.
Regardless, over the course of just six days, Trump has now picked up support from four U.S. House members, a U.S. senator, and two sitting Republican governors.

This must mean Trump is an establishment candidate.
Ted announces the endorsement of Village People
what kind of dad names his SON Lindsey ?
I guess they wanted a girl. And they got one!
His Dad’s name was Florence.
Must have been a family thing.
Village People. HA!
Reagan had the KKK jinx, then, he won.
I don’t think Linda backed Reagan.
