They were not planning to endorse him because they thought Hillary had it in the bag. They wanted to be able to work with her and not endorsing Trump would show her that they supported her behind the scenes.
Now they know Trump is inevitable, so they need to show support for him so they can try to maintain some of the gravy train. They are all a bunch of elitist liars.
I just don't believe this. As I posted earlier, fraud and the media make it dangerous to assume Trump will win (although, of course, he should win). Secondly, does anybody really believe RUMSFELD plans on having anything to do with HRC even if she should win?! Rummy doesn't care a whit about her.
Freepers, this is going to be a very close election because we are fighting the forces of evil. The richest, most powerful people all over the world are conspiring against Trump. We cannot afford to adopt the attitude that it-is-inevitable-Trump-will-win. We should be optimistic, of course, but we should not dismiss endorsements such as these as evidence these folks are just hopping aboard because they think Trump is cruising to victory. Remember, the meme is that “Trump lost the debate”, and the real polls aren't out yet. I think these people know what is at stake and are doing what they can to help Trump win. Let's cheer them for joining us — just as Trump tweeted something gracious and upbeat when Cruz endorsed him last week.
