“Trump has long praised Mitch McConnell, the man who is the embodiment of why people are fed up with the party and attracted to Trump in the first place. While conservatives were fighting to get rid of McConnell in the 2014 primaries, Trump said, “It would be a shame if he didn’t win, because he has such power, it’s so good for his state.”

1) That is exactly the sort of thing a businessman would say. You can certainly disagree with Trump, but my guess is that he had his businessman's hat on when he made the comment.

2) Got to keep up. People now are as mad at the National Review conservative establishment as they are at McConnell & Co. R

1) Trump called Cruz a maniac for bringing out the truth against ESTABLISHMENT McConnell.

2) There are still some good people at the National Review like this writer:

“..late last year Trump criticized Cruz for acting like a “maniac” when he called McConnell a liar.

How does Trump plan to fight political correctness and the culture of the D.C. establishment when he has championed the mastermind of the GOP establishment and is offended by the non-politically correct criticism of its leader?”
