The real headline should be: "Trump and Cruz trade blows, Bush KO'd."

I am disappointed at some of the hate here among Freepers between the Trumpsters and the Cruzers. I'm in the Cruz corner but am just happy to see that between Trump and Cruz the establishment candidates can't gain traction. It wasn't too long ago that Bush was the heir apparent to the RINO loser crown and he is dead in the polls. Can't we all just get along by agreeing to continue hating Bush and the rest of the GOPe?

Actually, that’s the way I’ve been looking at it. Trump and Cruz, totally keeping the Establishment from getting a foothold into the race. Even Carson (whom I don’t support), served as an extra a little extra buffer.

It’s been a most helpful dynamic, having three anti-establishment figures dominate. Were it just Trump or Cruz alone, it’s very likely the Establishment could strategize successfully and direct enough firepower to take him out. Hence, I’m still hoping Trump and Cruz jockey near the top together, through all the initial primaries. And then, just see who comes out on top.

Folks need to ask themselves before posting the most recent criticisms of either Trump or Cruz - 'would I think this was a big deal if the race were only Trump or Cruz vs Bush rather than Trump vs Cruz?'

The negativity would cease and desist immediately.
