>>It’s the strategy of no strategy. It moves right to acceptance, saying that there just isn’t anything that can be done about Trump. Maybe he does have a ceiling of 30 percent or so of the party (around where he is now in the polls), and if that’s true, what Republicans need is an alternative. One alternative, not 12. Someone who can begin to consolidate that other 70 percent around him.
But if you mention Cruz as that one alternative, the same GOP establishment starts squawking, “Noooo. You aren’t listening to us! We mean an alternative that we approve of.”
Right you are !
