REPORT: Lindsey Graham now recruiting Republicans to get on the Trump train

Looks like Lindsey Graham has come to accept Donald Trump as the Republican nominee and is not only supporting him, but encouraging other Republicans to support Trump:

CNN – 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.

“My criticism has been wide and it’s been deep, but we did have a good conversation. He asked good questions,” Graham said Friday on CNN, though he declined to offer a formal endorsement of Trump over Clinton.

Graham said at the fundraiser Saturday that he has now spoken with Trump several times to discuss foreign policy, Dailey said.

Eric Trump confirms this on Fox and Friends this morning, saying that Graham and other Republican establishment types are warming up to Trump:
