Lindsey Graham will announce today he is endorsing a current 2016 GOP presidential candidate.
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who was the candidate with the most years of experience out of either party (see below), today will endorse Jeb Bush, the Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe reports.

For some it may swing support to the flailing former Florida Governor, but it’s not expected to be a game changer, as some on Twitter observed:
Lindsey Graham’s endorsement is like a Yelp review from your mom.

Lindsey Graham just endorsed Jeb Bush!!! This is a game changer, as Graham will likely bring his .0000017 percent of the base to Bush.

Whoa. Sen. Lindsey Graham will endorse Jeb Bush today. That’s quite a lifeline. But not nearly enough to save him. https://t.co/dZc0diPMjw

Fox tries to make it big news, but it boils down to another DC Insider booking a ticket on the Titanic. Lindsy Graham is supporting Jeb Bush

Graham endorses Bush. How the heck does that help?!? Besides in this day & age I’m skeptical of the worth of most any endorsement.
