In what could be the biggest shock in the S.C. primary this far, Trump received an endorsement Wednesday from McMaster, the second high-ranking S.C. politician to back a 2016 hopeful. McMaster's endorsement of Trump was a surprise because the former state attorney general, U.S. attorney and S.C. GOP chairman is considered one of the top establishment members in the state party.
Much of the S.C. party's establishment base has endorsed Bush in the GOP race after initially backing U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Seneca Republican who pulled out of the presidential race last month. Graham, the only other statewide politician to endorse a White House hopeful, also is backing Bush.
But it is Trump, who has run as the anti-politician-in-chief, who holds a large lead in S.C. polls. Bush is fourth.
"He's a man of decision. He's a man of action," McMaster said in introducing Trump. "He speaks the truth as he see it in words everybody understands. And, ladies and gentlemen, that's something unusual in politics. It's a delightful thing to see.
"He has no hidden agenda, and the only obligation is to you, the people of the United States of America. He has great confidence in this country, and that comes out every time he speaks. He speaks of the greatness of the United States -- how it was and how it can be again."

Nice!
And now according to Trump’s latest tweet 2 of the candidates are coming to his event tonight.
‘Sounds like McMasters knows which side of his bread will be buttered if trump were to be the nominee
Henry always has been his own man.. GO TRUMP!
If by “outsider” you mean the guy who has funded most of the people we’re fighting against this election cycle... Yeah. Ok.
It’s not politics it’s business. Too many people are just too stupid to understand how business really works in this country.
And it doesn’t bother Trump supporters that more and more establishment politicians are lining up to support him, while they continue to revile Ted Cruz. What “artful deals” has Trump already made with the uniparty...?
I will take that with all of the kindness with which it was meant. Count me as among the stupid as I hear him speak eagerly of making deals with the Dems... and his supporters on FR don't care.
I agree with what Senator James Watson of Indiana told Willkie and it applies to Trump: “Well Wendell you know back home in Indiana it’s all right if the town whore joins the church but they don’t ask her to lead the choir on the first night.â€
One by one Trump is winning them over to his side.
If Tip O’Neil, a very partisan Democrat Speaker of the House in the 80’s, was alive today, I’ll bet Trump could win him over too.
