Cruz Enemy Lindsey Graham To Fundraise For Cruz

Lindsey Graham recently joked that if anybody were to murder Ted Cruz, nobody in the US Senate would vote to convict. But Graham is so worried about Donald Trump, he’s actually going to fundraise for Cruz. Via Politico:

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has thrown his support to Ted Cruz, calling him “the best alternative” to Donald Trump.

According to an invitation obtained by POLITICO, Graham will headline a fundraiser for Cruz on Monday.

This marks the second senator to publicly support Cruz, and is a significant development: Graham, a more centrist South Carolina senator, until recently openly detested his colleague from Texas. But in recent weeks he has suggested that Cruz stands the best chance of beating Donald Trump.

“’Backing Cruz or ‘supporting,’ yes,” confirmed Graham communications director Kevin Bishop on Thursday.

According to the invitation reviewed by POLITICO, which could be in its draft stages, Graham will headline a fundraiser for Cruz on Monday at Clyde’s Gallery Place. Tickets start at $1,000.
