Jon Huntsman adds to the growing list of GOP elite supporting Trump
AOL News ^ | April 30, 2016

Posted on 04/30/2016 3:47:22 PM PDT by monkapotamus

Jon Huntsman now says he supports Donald Trump's bid for the White House, calling on the rest of the GOP to rally behind the Republican presidential hopeful.

The former governor of Utah told Politico: "We've had enough intraparty fighting. Now's the time to stitch together a winning coalition..."

Huntsman's endorsement and others signify a rare shift for the GOP elite, who have been scrambling to stop Trump for a while. But the fear of a contested —and potentially very ugly — convention in July has caused some GOP leaders to speak out in favor of Trump...

To paraphrase Ross Perot, that giant sucking sound you’ll soon hear will be establishment GOP sucking up for a piece of the pie.

Cruz and Kasich are under strong delusion if they think there is going to be a convention battle.

I don't know where else to put this but the White House Correspondence dinner is being shown live on the first page of the Washington Post website.

There is a Nyle DiCarlo answering questions in sign language, but the star so far is Donald Trump the younger. The reporters would have talked to him longer if they could have. I was surprised he would be there frankly, with his lovely wife, of course. He probably won't be interviewed again so there's probably no point in rushing to WAPO. I just thought it was interesting and may not show up in any writeup or youtube video. Maybe the campaign could use the clip in a political ad if it isn't proprietary to WAPO, I don't know if it was coming through CNN or what.

He was very articulate, as usual, so handsome, and explained his father's appeal and how he is attracting blue collar workers. He didn't say anything snarky about any other candidates. He speaks very fast when energized, does not stumble over words or inject and um's, and is just amazing. IMO.

Since 98% of the GOP are GOPe, Trump has to get some of them too!

And yet when Tead was sucking up to them, you didn’t agree with that at all.

I think,and hope, that is one person my liberal leaning relative may support as Hillary is anathema as well as Jeb.

Should look into adding him as VP if he has the proper creds.

“And yet when Tead was sucking up to them, you didn’t agree with that at all.”

Notice the direction

The GrOP-E is sucking up to Trump. Ted Cruz was sucking up to the GrOP-E

There is a big difference in who is being dominated. Trump is not joining them, they are joining Trump

They support who they want. When there guy doesn’t get it then the rats start trying to find places for themselves.
