Lindsey Graham Privately Urges Republicans To Support Trump
CNN ^ | May 22, 2016 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 05/23/2016 7:57:44 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of Donald Trump's fiercest critics, is now calling on Republicans to support their presumptive nominee.

Graham urged GOP donors at a private fundraiser Saturday in Florida to unite behind Trump's campaign and stressed the importance of keeping likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton from the White House. The fundraiser was hosted by former U.S. Ambassador to Portugal Al Hoffman, a former Republican National Committee finance chairman who also co-chaired Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential bid.

"He did say that we need to get behind him," Teresa Dailey, a prominent Florida Republican fundraiser who attended the private event, told CNN on Sunday.

Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop confirmed that Graham attended a fundraiser in Florida on Saturday.

Graham has been among Trump's most vocal and fiercest critics but has warmed to the New York real estate mogul since the two spoke over the phone earlier this month.

Graham described the call as a "cordial, pleasant phone conversation" and said the two discussed national security threats, including ISIS.

Its dead, gone. Forget also about having a 3rd party. It will be Trump vs. Clinton.

Trump carried all the delegates in Sen Gramnesty’s home state.

Unless he retires he has to agree with the people of SC. on their choice for POTUS.

Hey, Tim Scott, Gowdy, Haley are also in the same boat and I am sure they will all reluctantly jump on board the Trump Train

No surprise.

As the dust clears, the current insiders are coming to their senses and realizing, if they want to stay on the inside, they have to support the presumptive nominee.

Maps nearly identical to “Boobs McCain” statements last week.
Someone in AZ now thinks the ONLY way of keeping his job is to back Trump.

Almost all of SC’s representation in Congress is beholden to the Cheap Labor Express.
They need to do some serious Cantorizing.

Mark Levin is still holding out hope that Cruz will get the nod.

Rush Limbaugh seems to have acquiesced to the fact that Trump is going to be the party nominee.

Am I reading this correctly? Lindsey wants people to endorse Trump?
