Good sign when the best way to do that is to hint or at least raise the prospect that people ought to turn up to hear you today because you might quit. That has happened on the republican side of the president ial race twice in two days with the two remaining republican candidates who are not named donald trump. Yesterday it was ted cruz. When the Cruz Campaign put out word that senator cruz would be making a major announcement at 4 00 yesterday afternoon, prognosticators were basically equally divided whether ted cruzs major announcement was going to be him bowing out of the race, or alternately, maybe it was going to be him overselling some minor indiana political endorsement. As if it were a major deal. The suspense, the mystery. Definitely helped drive interest to ted cruz yesterday afternoon. In the end, he neither quit nor announced an endorsement. He instead acted out a sort of sad fantasy in which he had become the republican nominee for president and was therefore expected to
Far. Its new information, its hard data that i think will probably make democrats very, very happy and i think it will probably make republicans very worried. You have not heard this elsewhere. It is new data out today and i found it almost impossible to believe until i triplechecked it. That is coming up. That said, today i have to tell you, for the second straight day we had a very telling turn of events on the republican side of the president ial race. Now, in president ial politics or any politics it is never a good sign for any politician when the best way they can think of to get everybodys attention, the best gambit they have for getting lots of cameras and people to show up as they speak as a candidate, its never a good sign when the best way to do that is to hint or at least raise the prospect that people ought to turn up to hear you today because you might quit.

Republican nominee. We shouldnt pretend our party is unified when we know it is not. We should talk about how we wanted to unify the Republican Party. There are critical principles that we all believe in as conservatives that we want to make sure we are rallying around those principles as we move forward. Martha trump has pretty much nice things to say about paul ryan with bill oreilly. Hes a very good man, and he wants whats good for the party. I would like for him to stay and be chairman. Bill i know you will say this. He will fall in line and be at the convention and endorse you. I dont think fall into line is the right word. He loves this party and he loves this country and he wants to se. I think well be better because we are unified. Martha it seems republicans have quite a bit to discuss to get their ducks in a row this morning. Is it going to be all talk about donald trump . There will be some policy talk this morning and tomorrow with a conference likely to discuss drug addict
