Donald Trump says he understands why Sen. [crscore]Lindsey Graham[/crscore] cannot support him, arguing, “If I got beaten as badly as I beat him, and all the other candidates he endorsed, I would not be able to give my support either.”
In a statement released on Friday, Graham said that he “cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative nor has he displayed the judgment and temperament to serve as Commander in Chief.”
Trump responded to Graham with this following statement:
“I fully understand why Lindsey Graham cannot support me. If I got beaten as badly as I beat him, and all the other candidates he endorsed, I would not be able to give my support either. Every time I see Lindsey Graham spew hate during interviews I ask why the media never questions how I single handily destroyed his hapless run for President. As a candidate who did not receive 1% in his own state – compared to my victory at nearly 40% with many others in the race – he has zero credibility. He was a poor representative and an embarrassment to the great people of South Carolina. Judging by the incompetent way he ran his campaign, it is easy to see why his military strategies have failed so badly — we can’t even beat ISIS!”
“While I will unify the party, Lindsey Graham has shown himself to be beyond rehabilitation. And like the voters who rejected him, so will I!”
Graham is not the only 2016 candidate to indicated that he will not support Trump. Jeb Bush wrote on Facebook on Friday that he will not vote for Trump.
However, Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry have endorsed Trump. (RELATED: Jindal: ‘My Vote’s For Trump’)
