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.

Watch out, SC people think they are the ONLY ones allowed to poke fun at their Lindsey. Actually, they see him as a really serious senator!

Next thing we know, Chester Trent Lott is coming aboard the Cruz train. He will find away to derail it too.

Trump supporters will walk if he’s not the nominee. What will Cruz supporters do if Cruz isn’t the nominee?

Trump has been a member of the establishment for decades. Most of it on the wrong side.

My neighbors are now convinced that Cruz has always been the insider and asked how much more establishment can a candidate get when he has Graham, Romney, and Beck supporting him.

Gave $100,000 - $250,000 to Bill and Hillary. Doesn't get any more establishment than that.

I love how Donald takes every opportunity to make a joke at an opponent’s expense.

Donald refused that endorsement.
Cruz is accepting Lindsay's and is allowing Lindsay to host a fund raiser.
Donald is discriminating while Cruz takes all losers.

I’d be for putting Lindsey in the Cabinet too: it would give Palmettos another chance to get the Senate seat right, but they would probably fail again.
To: Repealthe17thAmendment
Everybody makes fun of Lindsey except for Palmettos and John McPain.
To: magua
Graham at least isnt 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. Boehner and Beck would be the best. Not a dry eye in the house.
To: MNDude
Who’s supporters...Graham’s? That would be supporter.

You’re not serious...want to compare what’s been said, and is continued to be said about Trump from June 16, 2015 till today? Cruz continues to lie about Trump. Trump has always said, if he gets hit, he hits back twice as hard.

You have no way to defending Cruz other than to attack Trump.
