I've come around a little bit: Orrin Hatch think GOP could win with Trump
Twitchy ^ | January 21, 2016 | Twitchy Staff

Maybe Donald Trump’s not as anti-establishment as some people think. It seems GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch — one of the most “establishment” senators out there — thinks Trump could be the ticket to a GOP victory in November:

I’m sure it was calculated ... throw Iowa perhaps.

Who, judging from the rending of clothing and gnashing of teeth around here, would have thought Trump would get a Yuge boost from Sarah?

I wasn’t looking for it. Interesting dynamics this year, no doubt about it.

It will be very interesting to look back on this time and see the dynamics that played out.

Some folks are in for a real shock if Trump does what he says he wants to do.

I’d love to see them all have been wrong. That’s more important than me being right. I want them to see this nation turned around, (figuratively) over their dead bodies.

They’ll be as happy as we are about it.

These guys have no principles. They are hitching their wagon to what they think is a winner. They’d hitch their wagons to a communist, if that’s the way the winds were blowing.

whatever small chance there ever was of Trump picking Cruz as VP went down the drain the second Cruz uttered his New York remarks.

Mark Levin endorsed Hatch and promoted him on his show everyday as he is doing with Cruz.

WOW...Hatch came out for Bush last June, had a $10.000.00 a plate campaign dinner for him and said that was who Utah would be backing...

Wonder what happened? His job goodies are going down the tubes? He hasn’t gotten the support from Utah people on Bush? He found out some of us are Trump supporters here in Utah?

“It doesn’t take a wizard to look at the size of those rallies...”

I am sure that may have something to do with it. I thought about that today when Rush was, once again, vigorously stating just how much the Republican establishment HATES Cruz because they just know that they CANNOT cut deals with Cruz like they figure they can with Trump.

Rush ALWAYS neglects to mention those deals Cruz cut with the Republican establishment over TPA and the Corker bill and calling for more legal immigration and an increase in H1-B visas. Yes, Cruz is unyielding with rhetoric, but very yielding when it comes down to business.

Ask Levin what he thinks of Hatch. It will be a better senate when Hatch is gone.

That he is and I’d add that Malkin is a Trump hater.

So of course the journolist of talking points went out with orders. Sick bass turds.

The herd was given their ‘orders’. It’s stunning that so many are so blind to this tactic. It’s laughable.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Cruz is hardly in the clear, that’s a fact that must be faced.

Yes, that is exactly what is unfolding. I can’t imagine how anyone misses this blatant ploy. Every time ‘they’ move in unison, you know there was an ‘order’ put out. Sigh
