gopE -- "Well, Ted, we tried to throw our support behind you as you were our last shot at bumping off Trump, but you failed. We never really liked you, but now we need you out of the way so we can try to cozy up to Trump before it's too late. Thanks for playing though."
Cruz can play out the string, but if he gets too "serious" in attacking Trump from this point on, look for the gopE to destroy him.
“My take on Boehner’s meltdown yesterday:
gopE — “Well, Ted, we tried to throw our support behind you as you were our last shot at bumping off Trump, but you failed. We never really liked you, but now we need you out of the way so we can try to cozy up to Trump before it’s too late. Thanks for playing though.”
Seems that way.
The idea that the GOPe has to now “cozy up” to Trump is satisfying and at the same time a little disturbing.

Spot on. This sounds exactly like what they’d do.
