It's obvious that the candidacy of Donald Trump has upset the apple cart. The very power Beltway crowd and their sycophants in the mainstream media have a vested interest in setting up a ¿Jeb vs Shrillary general election as no matter who wins that matchup, the status quo will be maintained and nothing in Washington will really change.

The richest zip codes and counties in the nation surround Washington D.C. Those who are benefiting the most from the D.C. gravy train are accustomed to being in position to select the "safest" candidates to keep it going.

Trump is seen as a disruptor. They were pretty sure they could easily take him out with the "gotcha" tactics that worked so well for them in the past. I'm quite sure that before the Thursday night debates, the insiders were chuckling to each other and getting the popcorn ready. They were quite sure they were going to easily slay the Trump beast.

Now, they are at a loss on what to do next. Not only has Trump come through this attack relatively unscathed, but the "less traditional" candidates like Cruz, Fiorina and Carson are gaining ground themselves and pushing aside their anointed "safe" candidate.

They hope to push Trump to the edge of self destruction.

Perfect! You nailed it. I bet Jeb’s donors are pissed.
