Seabrook is “an African-American, enormously well respected by everyone in the African-American community. He said to me tonight, ‘I’m endorsing Donald Trump, because he can get jobs.'”

“Donald Trump can do what Ronald Reagan did,” Giuliani insisted.

“He can reach over and he can get Reagan Democrats.

”Trump can “also get African-Americans, believe it or not, Latinos, because he’s not tarred by the long connection with the Republican Party that we all have,” Giuliani said.

“Blacks have this feeling about the Republican Party that we’re anti-black, anti-Hispanic. We’re not. But they have that feeling. He doesn’t carry that burden with him. He could reach over and he could be an enormously powerful general election candidate.”

Giuliani explained that Trump will get support from Latinos because Trump can bring them jobs, work, lift the economy, and create growth.

“America’s Mayor” then drew a parallel between Trump and Reagan suggesting,

“Trump can reach out the way Ronald Reagan was able to reach out to the union workers, who were all Democrats but they voted for him because they felt he could increase their wages”

Cruz really isn't a "choice" to most once you get away from, well, everyone knows. And Trump is a better choice the pre-determined Democratic choice.

Angry voters might send all the GOP home and perhaps, people are encouraging their senators to endorse Trump. That gives me an idea! Got to do some emails!

I don't whether Cruz is establishment or not is his biggest problem. That would probably be pretty far down the long list of Cruz's problems.

Giuliani is correct on Cruz and Kasich, they need to leave. Actually, I thought they would be gone before Rubio.

That's a great and powerful endorsement. Trump needs to take New York! The train is building momentum!

Naw, I never thought Cruz would be gone before Rubio. I suspected that the establishment was soundly endorsing Rubio when their first pick, Jeb! completely failed, but I also knew that a LOT of people absolutely despised Rubio for no other reason than this immigration Gang of 8 garbage. He ran on a Tea Party platform, and then turned his back on them all once he walked in on his first day. Tea Party types do not forget things like that, nor do they forgive. (And apparently I have to keep freakin' making this clear: Just because I know what Tea Partiers were feeling doesn't mean I am, or ever have been, a part of it. I have not. Not even when I voted for Paul was I a "tea party" member. I have been a Conservative who has wanted the Republican party to remember what the hell a Conservative actually is.)

Anyway, Kasich I thought would drop out before Rubio, then Rubio, then it would be down to Cruz and Trump who would battle it out. According to Cruz supporters, the establishments hate him, too, but I don't see it.

In the words of Trump (regarding Romney) Why should Cruz listen to a loser like Giuliani? His presidential campaign was a disaster!
