Graham begrudgingly backs Cruz to stop Trump: 'He's certainly not my preference'
KRNV ^ | 3/17/16 | LINDSEY LEAKE

Posted on 03/18/2016 7:08:06 AM PDT by jimbo123

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is supporting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's bid for the White House, CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash first reported Thursday afternoon.

According to CNN, Graham will host a fundraiser in support of the Republican candidate on Monday during the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference in Washington, D.C.

This election season Graham has been far from shy about his dislike for both Cruz and billionaire businessman Donald Trump, whom he called a "nut job."

Last month, Graham said the Republican Party had "gone batsh** crazy."He added that Cruz was so despised among his colleagues that "if you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you."

Why not keep your utterly worthless endorsement to yourself then, Linda?

No, princess. It isn't the 'Republican Party'. They are as duplicitous and scheming as ever. What has happened is those voters out in the drive by America you don't even bother to recognize are tired of your DC bullshit. Your lies, your equivocations, your appeasement, your duplicity and your featherbedding selfishness. We will BURY you in votes, princess.

I don’t think many citizens care what you think, so why bother speaking at all?

He want Cruz to beat Trump, so in a brokered convention Kasich gets the nod. The fact Cruz can’t see this is another one of his gullible moments or he is in on that.

Cruz at this point is just a patsy.

Everyone sees he is being backed by Gopes and RINOs for no other reason than to stop the candidate that managed to get the most votes.

Cruz no longer exists. He is just a placeholder. A puppet.

So inquiring minds want to know.....are you going to support Cruz BEFORE or AFTER you shoot him on the Senate floor?

Go away, you nasty man.......

Light in the Loafers Linsdey talks about killing quite a bit it seems.

Maybe South Carolina should wake up.

Cruz should not accept any fundraising from Graham. He cannot embrace or even positively acknowledge Graham’s endorsement. Cruz will be left with NOBODY who finds him believable.
