Graham Says Brokered Convention Wouldn’t Be Fair

March 3, 2016 · 8:11 pm ET · 40 Comments

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “has had some harsh words for Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean he thinks a brokered convention would be fair to the Republican frontrunner,” Politico reports.

Said Graham: “If he got two-thirds of what he needs, which I think he’s well on his way to doing, for us to steal from him is not going to help the party.”

That said, he noted, “Our party is about to fall apart.”
