As Donald Trump racks up wins on Super Tuesday, many of the anti-Trump crowd are suggesting candidates for the GOP to rally behind.
Senator Lindsey Graham made a surprising suggestion—Ted Cruz. Graham has long been a vocal critic of the Texas senator, ran against him, and endorsed one of his opponents.
Charlie Rose asked Graham, “So there is no way, you’re seem to be suggesting, at the convention or before the convention to stop DonaldTrump from being the nominee?”
He replied, “Short of a major scandal, probably not. And if Marco doesn’t win Florida, I don’t know how he goes forward. If Kasich loses Ohio… you know, Ted Cruz is not my favorite by any means. I don’t wish him ill. I was making a joke about Ted, 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.”
Rose followed up. “But you would recommend that in order to stop Donald Trump and rally behind Cruz?”
“I can’t believe I would say yes, but yes.”
