It is more than an open secret that the Republican Establishment so hates Ted Cruz that they are more and more openly rooting for Donald Trump to win Iowa.
I just got today’s Hotline from National Journal. It is behind a pay wall, but it is worth noting their top story confirms what I have been seeing and hearing.
The Establishment thinking is that if Trump beats Cruz in Iowa, they can then beat Trump with Rubio, Bush, or Christie.
But that is horse manure and if they were not all incompetent morons they would know it. These guys have not made a dent in Trump’s popularity. The only guys who has is named Ted Cruz, and he has done it by being humorous and kind to Trump.

Yeah meet right.
Maybe the film is finally being lifted from their eyes. Trump at his core is one of them.
Oh sure. That’s why all the media and the GOPers are attacking Trump and defending Cruz.
Including this jerk.
I love watching you Cruz supporters scrape the bottom of the barrel in order to provide you hope. Going to the Liberal Media, and now Eric Erickson for solace. Very telling indeed.
Coming from a Romneybot that admonishment doesn’t carry a lot of weight.
The GOPe is in full panic, Rove is spinning in circles. Just ignore them and Cruz on (or Trump on).
Maybe they just realize that Trump will have more than enough delegates going into the convention, and are attempting to come to grips with that.
Of the two, Trump and Cruz, which is the big government candidate?
Hint: it ain’t Cruz.
WTF?
Erick Erickson?
Erick Erickson is the GOPe.
Nonsense. The GOPe have tried every type of lie and misdirection to stem the tide of their demise.
Did you EVER think you’d read something like that, when it was not a joke? Me neither. Cruz must have them losing control of their bodily functions, or something. I would be loud and proud, were I part of the Cruz Control. Maybe soon, after New Hampshire.
Amen. Ericsson is GOPe.
Someone else said Trump is OK because he will deal. I agree with that, and add that Cruz will stand on his principals.
Cruz can't make it through the primaries without cash from some of those in the establishment and Trump can but we're supposed to believe this ?
I guess they realize the, "Our lawyer is better than their lawyer" stuff isn't working.
That isn’t the way it is from what I read. They want to Trump to take out Cruz and then they figure their own boys will take out Trump - which they (wrongly) figure will be easy.
This is all because they hate Cruz. I once saw Cruz described as the most hated man in the Senate. I guess you might figure this is a good thing because of who hates him but being the lone ranger is a difficult/impossible road in D.C.
Yes, it is. This goes along with the Rand supporters on FB.
