Krauthammer: If Just One More Establishment Figure Endorses Trump It Could Make Him Inevitable...
RCP ^ | Krauthammer

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think we're getting to a moment where there's a scenario that one can see. Which is, you get Bob Dole, who represents the old establishment, if you like, essentially choosing Trump over Cruz. Now, if Cruz loses Iowa, Trump wins convincingly, I think all he will need at that point is to have a single current establishment figure. Meaning a sitting governor or a sitting Senator endorse him.

Nobody has, everybody stayed away from him. But if there are people who think he's the winning ticket, he's going to win the nomination, I want to be on the right side of this. And you get one standing out there endorsing him. Sarah Palin doesn't -- meet that bill. Bob Dole does, but you know, he's yesterday's man.

If you get somebody today from the so-called establishment who endorses him, I think it becomes a flood. At that point the dam breaks and you will get a rush of other establishment figures who will rally around him. And that could be the point at which he becomes inevitable as the nominee.

BRET BAIER, "SPECIAL REPORT" ANCHOR: Why is it that no Senator has stepped up to endorse Ted Cruz? Not even his ally, Jeff Sessions as of yet on immigration?

Those that hated Churchill hated him because he, like Trump, spoke the truth.

Many didn't want to hear it, or believe it.

Churchill called Chamberlain a fool because Chamberlain thought Hitler was NOT a threat.

Sound familiar?

So you just can’t connect the dots?

It is Cruz, not Trump, that has been Churchillian.

I don’t know what it is about people that makes them ignore the facts and then stuff every hope and dream they have into some populist empty suit.

You vote your conscience and I'll vote mine.

We'll see how it turns out.
