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...

That has been my point about endorsements too.
Trump didn’t sell out to get Christy’s support. He has the same beliefs now as he did when he was running against him.
He may have offered Christy a plumb, but Christy will be working for him. Christy may be able to play a major positive role down the line. As I understand it, he was a good prosecutor.
Trump has a way about him that is important. He doesn’t seem to hold a grudge. If he can come back later and use people in a positive manner, he’s all for it.
He’s an interesting guy.
Thanks for your point. It’s an important one, and I agree with you.
Noooooo? Well not surprising. Haven’t done any homework on him.
>There is a big difference in who is being dominated. Trump is not joining them, they are joining Trump
Indeed. One is the servant and the other is the master.
The former Governor of Utah can not nor his family stand the sight of Mitt Romney
Agree that is why the Bushes and Romney are behind Cruz. Neil Bush is even on his campaign.
They are all homely. But the brunette is mine. Mine I say.
You can have the others...
I would like to believe that Trump is savvy enough to realize the GOPe are tools to be used . Once used and abused, ridden hard and tossed out the door wet, a few quarters in their pockets, he'd best be on the job seeking reliable and loyal team mates.
I have been a very happily married man to a beautiful woman for 44 years, but I’ll gladly adjust my schedule to help out with this project. Duty and all that....
>Agree that is why the Bushes and Romney are behind Cruz. Neil Bush is even on his campaign.
Cruz would have been out of money months ago without the Bush crime family supporting him.
How’s that Romney working for Lyin’ Cruz working out for you?
All the RINOs coming aboard are suspect.
Exactly. He wouldn’t be in a position to implement Leftist policy, but could be a real asset.
You’ve got to admire Trump for seeing that in him.
Many of us would have shunned Christy for any role. They would be wrong. That’s the difference between Trump and folks who mean well but don’t quite understand interpersonal relationships to this degree.
It’s why Trump wins.
There's a new article on WAPO about O and H and how they paired up to trash the world (should have been the headline). I only read the headline and comments. They were excellent! The photo is positively evil looking of the pair of them.
Huntsman?
Darling of the liberal media last time he ran.
They both, along with the vast majority of the GOP were doing everything possible to have a convention battle. It would appear that will not happen, or if Trump is not at the magic number, he’s going to be so damn close it can’t be taken away. If he fell a couple hundred short, it could have been done. but he’s already there with a number of states to go. I don’t think anyone at this stage expect the nominee to be anyone other than Trump....maybe a slim light of hope that California would slip away or be a tie and a few other non-Trump wins that counter the Northeastern dominance last week. I don’t think anyone has high hopes at this stage that Trump loses, even if they fight these final battles with vigor.
Well, good for Huntsman. There me be some room for him in the Trump administration.
FYI for those you who may not know it, but Jon Huntsman’s father (Jon Huntsman Sr.) is a ‘father figure’ to Glenn Beck, who has described the senior Huntsman as a ‘mentor’.
Post a pic please, lets discuss... LOL
