Krauthammer: I Can’t Imagine Cruz ‘Holding up Trump’s Hand on the Last Day of the Convention’

KRAUTHAMMER: "If what it looks like is going to happen, happens. If Cruz loses, and according to the polls it would be somewhere in double digits, there’s no ‘Stop Trump Campaign.’ Trump will have the nomination. I think the further question is, will Trump be able to bring in some of those people? Remember, Cruz has had, has now a not-insubstantial following. He doesn’t have enough to win the nomination. But when you have 550 delegates, you represent quite a large segment, a minority segment of course, of the electorate. And the question is, ‘Will Trump reach out?’ — and that’s why I think what he did today is so puzzling. He’s way ahead. He’s got the nomination in his pocket. And yet, he floats or repeats the story from National Inquirer, which is weird ‘Twilight Zone’ stuff. About Ted Cruz’s dad being associated with Lee Harvey Oswald — who was the Kennedy assassin. That’s what set Ted Cruz off. I’m not sure he planned any of the vitriol he launched at Trump today. But it was like his reaction after the attack on his wife. Attack on his wife, attack on his dad. If you want to reconcile with somebody, if you want to stand on the stage at the end of the convention, raising his hand. That’s not what you do. But I think what Trump said, I think it was yesterday, or the day before, is important. I want party unity. But I don’t need it. I can win without it. And that part of the ‘Stop Trump’ segment, that was behind Cruz, may find itself in a position where they will follow him. I can’t imagine him holding up Trump’s hand on the last day of the convention.”
