Kevin McCarthy: ‘There’s Panic in Different Groups’ over Trump

‘I think it’s the same panic they’re probably feeling in the Democratic Party’

BRZEZINSKI: “So what do they say — what are Republicans behind closed doors talking about? What’s the real concern about this election? You say there’s no panic. Nothing to be afraid of?”
MCCARTHY: “Well, no. No, there’s panic in different groups, I mean, but what I —”
BRZEZINSKI: “OK. So, describe that panic.” 
MCCARTHY: “I think people have moved, I mean, at the begining — I think it’s the same panic they’re probably feeling in the Democratic Party. But they didn’t think Bernie would be where he’s at. They didn’t think where it’s — where it’s to now. I mean, I personally believe it’s down to a two-person race. The strategy — I thought Cruz probably had the best ability of his mapping out but not winning in South Carolina, that’s very difficult now for him. The bigger advantage is to Trump. He’s got to momentum. I think there’s more of a 50 percent chance he’s the nominee. And I think that’s what’s setting in for a lot of people. Could they get their heads around Trump to be the nominee.” [crosstalk]
