Lindsey Graham to endorse Jeb Bush for president

Sen. Lindsey Graham will endorse former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for president, according to two sources familiar with the plans, and the two are slated to appear together in North Charleston Friday morning for the announcement. The GOP field had been scrambling to secure the support of Graham and his backers since the hawkish South Carolina senator, an influential foreign policy voice, dropped out of the race last month.

In related stories, news of this causes Trump to shake in his boots and Cruz to consider dropping out.

Seriously, how can anyone who got such low poll numbers that he had to drop out think that his endorsement would have any meaning whatsoever? These people are truly delusional. They really can’t see what’s going on.

"Donald? Why are you calling me?!?"

"I just wanted to congratulate you on endorsing Jeb Bush, good move."

"Huh? I don't get it, what do you mean?"

"It makes perfect sense, you two low energy losers get together and you might generate enough energy to blow each other's noses, if you do it one at a time. Who's going to hold the hanky first, you or Jeb?"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

The only reason Lindsey Graham was running for president was to help Jeb Bush. When told to attack Trump and Cruz he did. When told to drop out he dropped out. When told to endorse Jeb he did.

It will be highly interesting to see how the GOPe eventually puts this Mexican on the trash heap and tries to bring in another contender that will toe the establishment line. Their only hope is trying to keep Trump or Cruz from getting the nomination on the first round and then bringing in some putz of a ringer establishment zombie.

It was the plan all along. Until Trump threw a monkey wrench in it.

I agree with you. My first choice remains Cruz; but we must acknowledge that if Trump hadn't entered this race, there is a very real chance that we would now be looking at Jeb! coasting to the nomination.

We thus owe Trump a large measure of gratitude for undermining the GOPe scheme. If Cruz is not the eventual nominee, I will gladly support Trump. He is not a perfect conservative, but given what he will be replacing, our nation will heave a great sigh of relief one year from now.

You’re kidding! WHAT A SURPRISE! Knock me over with a feather!

I thought sure he was going to be Trump’s special prosecutor for immigration enforcement.

Oh, well.

Just finished the 8th season of "24". Lindsay IS the ever duplicitous, self serving discredited expresident, Charles Logan.

Even looks like him.
