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.

So now the Cruz camp spin is that we should ignore the main apparatus of the gope openly working with Cruz....
Because a couple of governors endorsed Trump? LOL!
The question is, how does it help a candidate when he is endorsed by someone with no credibility?
Linseed thinks the GOPe will anoint him if Trump doesn’t make the 1237.
Cruz started as a conservative but now that he is losing he is desperate for any advantage. I suspect his donors are putting the screws to him to improve or else. His principled conservative approach is going all to hell.
You’d have better luck juggling flaming chainsaws while
unicycling than selling that bunco.
Good point.
Cruz’s disciple-SUPPORTERS, sorry, supporters, weren’t going to vote for anybody except Cruz or where he directed them.
He's wrong more than ever.
Rubio and Cruz support, followed by Rubio and Cruz ad buys.
1st amendment defense fail.
Epithet hurling: “Trumpists”
Explanation of Trump Supports The guy is a mess.
All he needs to do is give me a call.
yeah...he'd tell Lindsay to get bent.
Meanwhile, yet another GOPe congressman from New York just endorsed Trump. But who cares. Because. . . .Trump!!!!
Me too. No need to keep calling Cruz Lying Ted.
I seriesly doubt it. He’s as much an opportunist as anyone in his shoes.
Beck also has a mental illness.
“Lindsey gave Ted his jinx. Hopefully, he did not give him anything else.”
This turkey tastes like rubber!
(let’s see if anyone gets that)
Why leave out Neal Bush?
Dang. And stabby was right!
I think Donald Trump views Lindsey Graham, a United States Senator, with about as much respect as he does Rosie O’Donnell.
Lindsey who had less than 1 percent of the vote, is throwing his weight behind Cruz. What a windfall!!
