Has Cruz told Graham to stick his endorsement somewhere yet? If he doesn’t that is pretty telling.

Nope. What it tells is that Cruz wants to win, as he should. Any endorsement that is not destructive should be accepted. Graham and Rubio both dislike Cruz, which is a big plus. If they endorse him anyways and bring any voters at all (I'm not sure their endorsement matters), then Cruz should take the votes.

If Bernie Sanders endorses Trump, I hope Trump will welcome Bernie's voters. While they have different approaches to solving problems, they agree on what the problems are a lot more than Trump and Hillary do. A Bernie endorsement would not imply that Trump is a socialist, just as a Rubio/Graham endorsement would not imply that Cruz is pro-Amnesty.

Ordinarily, I’d agree...but this is Goober. Are you sure it isn’t destructive? Not suggesting that Cruz isn’t thinking this through, but...well...this is Goober we are talking about.

The problem that I see with having a Graham endorsement is that he is the poster boy of the GOPe (he's the poster boy for a lot of other things too). Both Cruz and Trump are running as the outsiders, not beholden to anyone.

With a Graham endorsement of Cruz, one may conclude (rightly or wrongly) that Cruz has now been accepted by the establishment, therefore removing his outsider status.
