I had a magazine cross my path this week. Fairly balanced story on Trump. Was ESQUIRE. Cover was a total hit job.
They hate both Trump and Cruz.
They hate Trump. They FEAR Cruz.
They hate Cruz more because he’s an intelligent, philosophical, movement conservative. Trump, they realize, is a demagogue without long term or sincere commitment to anything besides his own vanity. The Left can relate to him; he’s just as likely to return to his Democrat/crony roots as he is to pushback Liberalism in any way. With Cruz, they’re fighting what they call an “ideologue.” With Trump, they’re fighting a guy keen to prove he can make deals good for him with them. He could make a lot more money as president, and that’s likely a big motive for a man of avarice. With Trump, the government will get much, much bigger.
