If the GOP establishment is faced with a Hobson’s Choice of Trump or Cruz, it’ll back Hillary.

They just can’t stand the front runner and his stalking horse.

If true, this says a lot of good things about Cruz.

.”Is it too late,” Chuck Todd asked? “It’s too late,”
Clean nton school Chuck also said it was sad that Hillary’s campaign was stymied by Trumps approach to Bill’s rapes.
The panel also acknowledged Bill has a sex problem and tried hard not to mention the rape word.
