NYT's Peter Baker On Donald Trump: "You Can't Hand Over The Government To A Person Just Because You Like His Hat!" (RealClearPolitics)

Following Friday night's major show of support from senior Senator Jeff Sessions, during which he donned one of Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats, writer and New York Times reporter Peter Baker channeled some of the frustration felt by establishment Republicans over Donald Trump on this week's Fox News Sunday panel.

"You're left with two choices right?" he explains. "Either you run with it, like Ted Cruz is trying to do, trying to tap into some of the same anger and disaffection with Washington, or you try to run against it as Jeb Bush is trying to do, saying this is not the solution. You can't turn over the government to a person just because you like his hat!"
