Krauthammer: With Iowa Win and an Establishment Endorsement, Trump’s ‘Inevitable’

KRAUTHAMMER: "I think we're getting to a moment where there's a scenario that one can see. Which is, you get Bob Dole, who represents the old establishment, if you like, essentially choosing Trump over Cruz. Now if Cruz loses Iowa, Trump wins convincingly, I think all he will need at that point is to have a single current establishment figure. Meaning a sitting governor or a sitting senator endorse him. Nobody has, everybody stayed away from him. But if there are people who think he's the winning ticket, he's going to win the nomination. I want to be on the right side of this. And you get one standing out there endorsing him, Sarah Palin doesn't -- meet that bill. Bob Dole does, but you know, he's yesterday's man. If you get somebody today from the so-called establishment, who endorses him, I think it becomes a flood. At that point the dam breaks and you will get a rush of other establishment figures who will rally around him. And that could be the point at which he becomes inevitable as the nominee." 
BAIER: "Why is it that no senator has stepped up to endorse Ted Cruz? Not even his ally, Jeff Sessions as of yet on immigration?" 
KRAUTHAMMER: "Well I think the short answer is because everybody who knows him in the Senate, hates him. And I think hate is not, is not an exaggeration. The enmity which he wears on his sleeve as, with pride, is something that he's now, you could almost say cultivated. To make him a freshman senator with no particular record into a national figure rallying everybody against the Washington cartel, you know Republicans in the Senate, in the House have been out there half of their lives, don't appreciate being called essentially traitors to the cause of conservatives. And then you get antipathy and they will put that antipathy perhaps even over what's best for the party."
