Kline and Cravaack are “establishment tools”??? Okey-dokey.
And as for Paulsen and Weber, they are establishment types, but they are also rock-ribbed conservatives. BTW, I think that Paulsen, as a social and economic conservative (Ramstad he ain’t) who manages to get elected in the Hennepin County suburbs, would make a terrific Senate candidate.
It is entirely possible to be cool to a Michele Bachmann presidential candidacy, or at least to be willing to consider other candidates, without being an “establishment tool.”
They have never bucked the leadership on anything. So, since you object to the term "GOP Establishment tool", I will rephrase it.
They are all good GOP party loyalists. They will go where ever the party tells them to go. They are followers not leaders.
