Peggy Noonan: Trump ‘Could Break’ the GOP

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

O’DONNELL: “Peggy, even before the polls open today on Super Tuesday, 40 percent of the vote has been cast in early absentee balloting.”
NOONAN: “Yes.”
O’DONNELL: “Are these attacks by Trump, by Cruz too little, too late?”
NOONAN: “The attacks by Trump and Cruz —“
O’DONNELL: “Excuse me, Cruz and Rubio.”
NOONAN: “You know, the Republican consultant class and party decided nine and six and even three months ago this whole thing is going to go away dwoerjt have to take it ott. When they finally realized, oh, my god, trump and trumpism are rear, he could win, they decided they had to adopt his style and be tough and pugilistic. My sense is it doesn’t make anybody look better. I always thought Rubio and Cruz should be going at trump about having a conversation about policy rather than insulting each other. I’m not sure if they moved earlier, it would work.”
O’BRIEN: “The party is utleyny in chaos but could trump bring down the GOP?”
NOONAN: “He could break it. What happens if he racks up a lot of delegates, they get to the convention, it looks like Trump has won and the party machinery finagles it away from him. At the same time if Trump walz waltzes to the nomination, there’s a major slirch their will start a Republican Party in exile. You can quite imagine that happening. We’re seeing something big.”
