In the minds of the Trumpies, all opposition is “establishment.” It’s incredibly binary.
In a sane world, Cruz and Rubio would be the ones “bucking the establishment.”
As soon as the orange messiah entered the picture, suddenly Cruz is establishment.
combined NON trump votes exceed trump votes, but we are the establishment?
And yet "establishment" republicans like bob dole and john McCain have and other GOP "leaders" have openly said they would prefer Trump over Cruz. According to the Trumpian paradigm, NOBODY in the GOP caucus likes Cruz, but Cruz is the establishment.
