Some time ago I said that many establishment Republicans dislike Ted Cruz so much that they would even back their nemesis, Donald Trump, if necessary to keep Cruz from winning.
This is one time I wish I had been wrong.
The establishment has long held Cruz in contempt but didn't believe he had any realistic chance of securing the GOP nomination. Now, with his campaign success, he's scaring their pants off. Former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole has issued apocalyptic warnings against nominating Cruz, and I've just received an email that Sen. Orrin Hatch prefers Trump over Cruz as well.
Earlier this week, it was New York Times pretend-conservative columnist David Brooks who suggested a Republican conspiracy against Cruz and Trump in favor of any other GOP candidate. "Very few presidents are so terrible," he wrote, "that they genuinely endanger their own nation, but Trump and Cruz would go there and beyond."(continued)

David Limbaugh, a Freeper.
David is the ‘tell’ on Rush’s opinions.
Rush thinks Cruz is the conservative.
But he thinks Trump is the most likely to win.
So, he supports both for different reasons. He’d rather have a beer and golf with Donald, but he rather have a political discussion with Cruz.
I didn’t know that.
Do we know his FR member name?

David Limbaugh: Cruz Is a True Conservative
LOL....so was Danny H. Maybe CRuz took the same conservative test, at work. :)
I don’t remember his screen name.
Something like conservative lawyer, iirc.
It’s been a long time ago.
Thank you
The Establishment Republicans are going to endorse Trump.. I knew that would happen!!! Because Trump will deal with them and they know it!!!
Limbaugh certainly knows his stuff
None of this matters ... Cruz will lose
Maybe he wants unlimited open borders too .. Cruz represents open borders just like the other establishment candidates ..
Trump now more than ever
This is Rafael Cruz today’s BS
Ted Cruz Finds Out He Has Health Insurance After All
After the Republican presidential candidate tells New Hampshire students he doesn’t have health insurance, his campaign says he does.
We’re getting tired of losing.
How do you know?
Lol!
We can win with a true Patriot that will secure the borders and stop these terrible trade deals .
It’s now or never , Trump or it’s over for good
I’ll let you in a big secret .. even if Cruz got the nomination , the majority of the country thinks he’s really creepy .. he couldn’t win with anybody’s help
Cruz teaming up with Glenn Beck after Trump got Sarah Palin’s endorsement was a very bad sign. The reaction of hard corps Cruz supporters and their attacks on Sarah Palin after many had previously advocating that she be his VP was also a bad sign. It is amazing to me that so many could instantly turn on her in such a brutal way simply because she chose to support someone other than their candidate. These followers have been a terrible reflection on Cruz despite his having a classy response. It is the reaction of a bunch of losers and I think that they are largely responsible for mortally wounding Cruz’s campaign. A lot of people think that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
