Krauthammer on Trump: ‘This Is Showmanship of the Highest Order’

MCKELWAY: “At what point to the well entrenched candidates, those with the good infrastructure, the ground game begin to see some advantage.”

WILLIAMS: “Well, they have money. And the money builds infrastructure. And Trump right now is relying on his own money. Apparently is building infrastructure as you were saying (indecipherable) in Iowa. But not so much if you then go south, South Carolina and through those type of key stretch there that will come very quickly. So that's where the entrenched candidates have a big advantage. The biggest advantage of course, is to Jeb Bush.”

MCKELWAY: “Charles, do you agree with that?”

KRAUTHAMMER: “If you are in a field of 17 and you land a helicopter in the Iowa state fair and you take kids on the rides, I mean, this is showmanship of the highest order. So you are going to command an audience. You are going to command the media. You are going to command everything. In a field of 17, you get 20 percent, 25 percent, you are in the lead by a lot. Once that whittles down, it's going to be different because that's not going to be a plurality. That will not be elite, and the question is can he expand beyond that? And we will see.”
