Jon Huntsman, the former Republican governor of Utah who served in the Obama administration, thinks the GOP should stop fighting.
“We’ve had enough intraparty fighting. Now’s the time to stitch together a winning coalition,” Huntsman said, according to Politico.
“And it’s been clear almost from the beginning that Donald Trump has the ability to assemble a nontraditional bloc of supporters,” he added.
“The ability to cut across traditional party boundaries — like ’80, ’92 and 2008 — will be key, and Trump is much better positioned to achieve that.”
Huntsman was U.S. Ambassador to China under President Obama. His 2012 presidential campaign was marked by criticism of the GOP for focusing too much on satisfying the right wing of the party and avoiding compromise.
After ending his campaign, he skipped the 2012 Republican convention over disagreements with the party’s platform.
“I will not be attending this year’s convention, nor any Republican Convention in the future, until the party focuses on a bigger, bolder, more confident future for the United States,” he said at the time.
Huntsman said in February that he could see himself supporting Trump for president

Hillary is going to cough herself to death in the first debate.
With all of this ‘delegate’ crap that Cruz is doing, is tearing this election apart...Trump is the person the people want, they don’t want Cruz or he would be leading with the voters...
It’s time to get together and quit this stupid game that Cruz refuses to deal with, he lost, go home, go get some mental health, or leave the country, whatever he has to do, but quit this childish game, it’s over!!!
What’s RINO Huntsman’s angle here? He wants to be Trump’s “china guy”?
Maybe there is just some internal mormon beef and this is a yuge way for Huntsman to give them the middle finger.
Lol.
Is this coming from Obama, since Huntsman is a surrogate.
It’s time to watch politicians act just like a politician and turn on a dime after the political wind changed.
Rafael should seek treatment back home.

Well, he does have beautiful daughters.
..they don’t want Cruz or he would be leading with the voters...
This is the heart of the matter.
But, CRUZ will be remembered as King of the non-voters.
Not TrusTED. He has proved that.
But, he’s RejecTED and DefeaTED. So is his sidekick, Kasich.

Please, don't wish that...Hitlery is a better candidate to be Trumped than Bernie.
If we can make it to November with that that ol' BattleAx on the demoRAT ticket, the landslide will be Reaganesque!
26 April: The kamacruzies storm from their bunkers. Screaming their war cry #NeverTrump, they are beaten back by an over 3:1 popular vote across 5 states. How could this happen? Wisconsin was supposed to turn the tide! To console themselves, they read and quote passages from the RINO rulebook to one another.
Now they straggle toward Indiana to make the first of their last ditch final stands. As they retreat, the kamacruzies tune to Tokyo Ted. He tells them of new strategies to win the GOP civil war. A new alliance has been forged with the kamakasicks against the Donald. He has also appointed the kamakarLie as his second in command. Delegate theft operations continue. They must fight on to Cleveland and destroy the Donald at all costs.
And by the way, adds Tokyo Ted, I’m now in the middle of a big-money firestorm. The witch has raised a 100 million and the Donald has a billion dollar slush fund. Will you make an urgent contribution to my campaign to defeat the Donald? Some of the kamacruzies look down at the ground. They begin to wonder if there might be a better use for twenty bucks.
Meanwhile, the goblin queen surveys the landscape. She is alarmed by the advances of the Trumpian army. Her chieftains report, fighters in his ranks that would normally be hers. Too bad that Tokyo Ted can’t get any votes. He would be such a lovely opponent. She recalls how her comrade Claire McCasKill handily defeated the cruzian clone, Tokyo Todd Akin in Missouri 4 years ago. She prays to her gods for such good fortune.
In the meantime, she is at least satisfied that the GOP civil war continues. And if Tokyo Ted’s treachery can depose the Donald in Cleveland, then her prayers will be answered.
If we can make it to November with that that ol' BattleAx on the demoRAT ticket, the landslide will be Reaganesque!
Trump somehow connects with people. They either love him or hate him. He will be one of the most memorable Presidents. Even Cruz will eventually cherish the magical time that he spent sharing a stage with Trump.
Another RINO for Trump. Seems like they know something you people don’t
BTTT!
Cruz will likely take credit for pushing Trump to a higher level and claim he was the mentor that made the Trump victory possible. Narcissist that Cruz is.
“Seems like they know something you people don’t”
And Jeff Sessions knows much more than you do.
