It Would Be Just Like the GOP Establishment To Back Trump
Redstate ^ | 1/19/16 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 01/19/2016 3:39:52 PM PST by TBBT

Within the last nine months, Donald Trump has mocked a disabled reporter for his disability, suggested that Megyn Kelly was on her period during the course of a debate, made fun of Carly Fiorina's looks, and called the entirety of the Republican leadership "stupid" more times than I can count. Now he is bashing Ted Cruz for - I kid you not - having bad manners with an esteemed member of the Republican Establishment:

"Ted has got a rough temperament, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders. Not a good thing to do if you want to curry favor and get the positive votes later on own," Trump said.

"Ted is worried about his temperament, people are talking about his temperament. I haven't talked about his temperament but he's got to be careful because his temperament has been questioned a lot."

This follows Trump's decision earlier today to quote the "highly respected" crony capitalist repeat tax hiker Terry Branstad in making an attack on Cruz.

If you're keeping score at home, that's four times in the last three days he's invoked the most notorious genuine establishment figures in the Republican party to attack Cruz.

Anyway, don't worry Trump fans, I'm sure he will really stick it to the Establishment and tell it like it is once he's elected, and will not at all just increase government spending willy nilly as long as the spending lines the pockets of his companies.

If the GOP elites want Trump, it’s because they fear him, not because
they like him.

So? He’s going to be giving them orders NOT the other way around. That will be a welcome change. Nice to have the establishment elitists on their knees begging.

rump operates on a level way above what we are used to. People criticize and hate - because they don’t understand.

Don’t know if you saw this;

How else would the GOP-E have a chance at getting their shills and agents in place, now?

No, it is because they know the can make a “deal” with them. Cruz never compromised with them.

But you’ll learn that soon enough.

Thats not what Trump said today. He said you don’t want to call establishment RINOs liars because you’ll need to work with them later.

Elections have consequences. Serious consequences. Either you win or lose, there is not second place.

It wasn’t Trump schmoozing it up at Carvilles house with GOP warming up to him.

This er, article is projection.

Agreed.
I’m just sick of both sides ripping each other when we have the establishment and the left rubbing their hands on this.

Even this thread has turned into yet again another attack on each other.
