Establishment Republicans and donors are seeking to coalesce around whichever candidate is not Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) , according to the New York Times.
One influential Republican strategist says he wants to see former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to go after Cruz.
"Whoever is not named Trump and not named Cruz that looks strong out of both Iowa and New Hampshire, we should consolidate around," said veteran Republican strategist Henry Barbour.
Barbour, according to the New York Times, was so irritated by the internal battle between the establishment candidates that he wanted to raise money for Huckabee's Super PAC "that would have been spent to attack Mr. Cruz in Iowa. But Mr. Barbour found few donors willing to intervene in such a volatile race."(continued)

Too bad Huckabee sits at the kiddies table.
Rand Paul just did it for him.
After his endorsement and campaign for Mitch McConnell, are we at all surprised?
Who? LOL
Why? What will Mike get out of it?
Mike needs to drop out.
Good grief.
Is Rand on a tear tonight? He ripped Trump pretty hard too.
The GOP vampires come out at night.
Cruz is the guy who really scares the GOPe, not Trump. They can work with him. (He’s funded a LOT of them.)
Of course Haley Barbour wants this.
