I think anyone would have to concede that the GOP was NOT on the way to picking an “outsider” before Trump entered the race, and that we all, including Ted Cruz, owe Trump a debt of gratitude for not allowing the GOPe to serve up a Jeb Bush candidacy and manufacture a Clinton-Bush re-run to bring back those neocon glory days of the 1990’s

The establishment choice (Yeb) was going nowhere and was polling very low well before Trump entered the race. The only thing I will attribute to Trump is that he raised the border/illegal-immigration issue to a level which it had not previously received.
