Of course they want Trump. He’s an open borders globalist.

A lot of the Cruz Birther stuff is actually coming from the GOPe. Bank on it.
The developing feeling among House Republicans? Donald Trump is preferable to Ted Cruz.
"If you look at Trump's actual policies, they're pretty thin. There's not a lot of meat there," says one Republican member in Ryan's inner circle, who requested anonymity to speak frankly about the two front-runners as leadership has carefully avoided doing all week.If Trump were to get the nomination, he would "be looking to answer the question: 'Where's the beef?' And we will have that for him," says the member.
The member says he believes that, when it comes down to it, "almost all of the candidates would subscribe to" the conservative agenda he and the rest of leadership are hoping to advance.
Except, that is, for Cruz.
"Look at the Senate. He hasn't been a team player. He's always been his own person with his own aspirations and his own vision, only concerned with where he wants to go. And, you know, for us, we want to work closely with the president. And with Cruz, there's a question of whether that could happen."
The GOPe has listened to Trump when his cult will not; supports universal healthcare, will “expedite” the illegals back into amnesty here, accepts homosexual marriage, and a list of liberal causes just like the GOPe. Trump praises and funds far-left Democrats and now undermines the conservative in the race.
Oh yeah that’s the ticket!!......(sarcasm off). Man you guys are desperate.
Yeah they are with Trump and that’s why they attack him since the beginning. Even after Obama’s State of the Union they attack Trump.
Now they are using Cruz.
Cruz switched his position on the NSA spying right before the last debate. That was a signal to the Establishment that he was with them. Then in the Establishment tradition Cruz attacked Trump.
Thus proving how utterly divorced from reality they have become...
Lesser of the evils, huh?
There is only one anti-establishment candidate remaining in the Republican field and it is certainly not Donald Trump.
Item b) is all the reason in the world to support Ted Cruz.
The GOPe is despised. What could make more sense than going all-in for the one candidate they fear and loathe the most?
That’s because they know Trump has no principles and can be bought and sold. That’s just who he is. If you don’t believe it, you are merely lying to yourself.
He will also be the easiest to impeach when they decide they’ve had enough of his crap.
I’m convinced Trump has done his deal with the GOPE. They will have a love fest between now and November.
Erick Erickson who has been a Trump critic says the establishment favors Trump over Cruz. A consultant says the same.
Big deal. This articles mean absolutely nothing. You can get Washington pundits and people from the consultant class to say anything.
People who criticized Trump for being an outsider and unacceptable to the Republican establishment are now criticizing him for being supported by the Republican establishment.
I’ve been predicting this for months.
Trump’s success won’t be the demise of the GOPe. It won’t be a hostile takeover. It will be a friendly merger. One in which the GOPe ultimately retains all its power, once Trump gets all the personal glory he wants.
Cruz is hated by the beltway establishment, while they still view Trump as a reality show. They just hate Trump less than they hate Cruz.
WARNING - if ya got The Tee Dee Ess, DON'T click on the pic. Yer head might explode. That is all.
If so, it is not because they like Trump, it is because they fear the man
who looks to win the nomination.
This is a hilarious thread. One day the GOPe wants to take Cruz out and support Trump. The next day there is a story out that wants to take Trump out and support Cruz.
I just say look at the speech Nikki Haley gave it you want to know who the GOPe wants to take out. They are building a fire wall in South Carolina against Trump.
The Red State site is becoming a joke.
