They sure are doing a good impression of melting down over Trump. Why would they fear somebody they own? They don’t own Trump, they own Cruz.
NEVER make the assumption that the GOPe are stupid. They attacked Cruz with a vengeance before Iowa...hoping they could sway the election. They found out it had the opposite effect....and they "backed off" to make sure there wasn't a repeat performance in the other states.
True or False? The more the GOPe insults Trump....do his numbers rise with the electorate? The GOPe UNDERSTANDS this....so why haven't they shut up when they know it just helps Trump?
Again...the GOPe is mad that the electorate isn't falling in line with their edict of who should be President. They wanted Bush....that didn't work out, so they picked golden boy, Rubo. If he doesn't work out....they WILL still be upset that they weren't the kingmakers...but they are already planning the "wonderful deals" they'll make with Trump.
Only people who never watched what was happening until recently use that "Cruz is owned by the GOPe" crap being passed around. Those of us who have watched him for years know how truly mythological and POLITICALLY MOTIVATED that statement is.
BTW, all this yakking about a contested convention? People are "assuming" it's because the GOPe are determined to stop Trump, without even thinking about the possibility that Cruz MAY stay in the race to the end...and the GOPe, KNOWING his determination, are preparing for that eventuality.
