It probably means the GOP decided to support Cruz in order to stop Trump.
You don’t get it, do you? Cruz IS GOPE.
The GOPe had no other choice but to go with Cruz at this point if they want to derail Trump. Rubio, who was last week’s designated GOPe candidate, has tanked big time. At least Cruz still has a fighting chance. What they will do then, who knows?
Cruz has always been establishment. I think it means that Cruz really has been a Bushy for all these years. I think that is the more likely explanation.
