– ANALYSIS – – ABC’s RICK KLEIN: It’s un-endorsement season for Ted Cruz, Whose momentum in Iowa Seems To Have stalled in a storm kicked up by Donald Trump. Having Sarah Palin Go With Trump, And Then Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad Go With anybody-but-Cruz, And Then Bob Dole say nobody’s worse than Cruz – that’s not the week HAD Cruz in mind. But from Cruz’s perspective – when, at any point in esta race, you have a traditional “establishment” sentiment impacted the trajectory? If this is acerca outsider status, Cruz can hold up the fact That Dole, Branstad, and the likes of John McCain and George W. Bush do not want him Elected as a sign That he’s the more conservative puree. (Palin is, as always, a more complicated subject.) Cross on Wednesday put his best spin on the Developments, framing it all as a sign That the establishment is giving up on Marco Rubio and going all-in with Trump. Trump will take this week, Particularly so close to Iowa. But it’s a mistake to assume That un-endorsing Cruz would hurt His standing.

You know, coming here again as I did starting last April I’ve had the opportunity to talk and listen With by now to Thousands of Iowans, and You have impressed upon me all of your Concerns, your hopes. “Donald Trump’s approach has-been Iowa Republicans less subtle telling That they “Have not a lot of winners Elected” Referring to how the past two winners, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, did not get the nomination. Another theme you hear at Iowa rallies as of late is how the state will not lose their “first in the nation status” That Particular candidate if Becomes president, something Very Important Iowans WHO to take a lot of pride With voting first.
