Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says the Republican Party may be forced to support presidential hopeful Ted Cruz in order to stop front-runner Donald Trump.
"You know Ted Cruz is not my favorite, by any means, Graham, who dropped his own bid for the White House in December, said in an interview with CBS. But we may be in a position where we have to rally around Ted Cruz as the only way to stop Donald Trump, and I'm not so sure that would work. His comments came with Super Tuesday results indicating Trump would win as many as eight states. They also came a week after Graham joked, If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you.
Graham has been a tough critic of both Trump or Cruz. He once said that choosing between the two would be "like being shot or poisoned. I think you get the same result, whether it's quick or it takes a long time."

Wow, Trump is even unifying the GOPe.
If Trump isn’t responsible for David Duke’s endorsement, Cruz isn’t responsible for Linda’s.
They are terrified Trump and Ted will bury the hatchet.
Correction... Looks like Trump is uniting those with above average IQ’s...to vote for Cruz.
Id hate to be a bottle of tums in lindas med cabinet tonight....
Not exactly an endorsement...but, the kiss of death for Cruz if GOPe folks like Linda start providing support!
If Trump isnt responsible for David Dukes endorsement, Cruz isnt responsible for Lindas.
Nope. Graham is Cruz’s colleague. Trump has no association at all with David Duke.
It’s clear career politican and former Bush admin official Cruz is being called home to the GOPe. Sorry.
” A man discovered his house was becoming surrounded by rising flood waters . As he finally had to climb up on his roof he decided to pray to the Lord for rescue . First came a neighbor in a boat who offered to pick him up . “ No” he replied, “ I am relying on God to save me “ . Next came along a government rescue unit in a power boat and pulled up to take him out of the flooding . “ No!” He replied , I am waiting for the Lord to save me !” Finally a passing national Guard helicopter saw him standing on his roof and came to a hover overhead and prepared a rescue line . “ No!” he cried “ I am waiting for the Lord to save me !” The chopper left the waters rose and finally the man was swept away and drowned . Later on , standing in the cue to enter Heaven , he called out to God “ why did you not save me when I prayed to You !??” The Lord replied “ What do you mean ? I sent you 2 boats and a helicopter , and you sent them all away “ .... America ; embrace the answer to our collective national problems and quit ur bitch’n .
Anyone shocked that the Cruz guy happily takes the GOPe assist?
And then ends with a snobby swipe at people’s intelligence?
Going back to Iowa it’s clear Cruz is a win at all costs candidate. Principles be darned. If that means shacking up with Graham and the GOPe he will do it in a New York minute.
When Lindsey comes out for you, you’re in serious trouble.
Lindsay Graham thinks Clinton can beat Cruz and lose the 2018 primary with fraud and other tricks against little guy ted.
Mammoth Trump can not be stopped.
Spin it, Trumpet.
Trump was gracious to Cruz tonight in his speech. In return Cruz basically spit in his face with his reading Trump’s mind talking point list of lies. Contrast was striking.
Lynda is correct in that Rubio is rapidly sinking to the bottom of the political sea
