Same criteria that apply to Trump also apply to Cruz.

But he isn’t pulling in the kind of voters a GOP candidate must attract to win the White House.

His conservatism limits his appeal to swing demographics.

Which is why the GOP establishment wants someone more electable.

Ironically enough, its why they can’t see that Trump is expanding the GOP in a way where its other candidates have fallen short.

In a word, the GOP establishment’s irrational hatred of Trump is blinding it to the fact he’s not a movement conservative, considering its unwilling to go to the mat and fight for conservative principles.

If electability is the only criterion that matters as opposed to principle, it should be lining up behind Trump.
