Crowley: If Trump Or Cruz Wins WH Bid, The GOP Establishment "Is Done"
Breitbart.com ^ | February 24, 2016 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/24/2016 10:25:11 AM PST by Biggirl

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” conservative commentator Monica Crowley said the Republican Party establishment is rooting against both Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump to win the nomination because if either wins the presidency, she said, “the establishment is done, it’s over.”

You can say the same for America.

Monica Crowley is a sweetheart. I enjoy her take whenever she is on the Jon Batchelor show. Monica? You know how to find me.

...and we all know Monica Crowley has our best interest at heart.

What she may not understand, some of would like to see the GOPe destroyed, so if her statement was true, it is just another reason to support Trump.

Question: other than Texas and maybe Arkansas (both proportional states), where do you see Cruz winning next Tuesday? And then, beyond that, where?

Yeah, ole Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, McCain, Lindsey Graham, etc., are all lining up behind him.

Well, when a new guy in town starts showing he's an ace gunslinger, the only safe place is lined up behind him!

They're just hanging in, playing the waiting game, trying to outlast us (and Trump, and Cruz) with our own money. Live to fight another day.

That's why Trump/Cruz needs to clean house at RNC and the caucus congressional campaign (money) committees. Clean out the coop, run all the foxes out of there and collect their tails. No prisoners!

Does Monica realize that there are some people who would take that as a challenge to see if it could be done and want to see what would happen if it did?

Be prepared to say, President Trump.

The snowball is gaining speed as it rolls downhill.

Numbers from the 1 March primary say that Trump will win every state except Texas. It is razor thin in Texas and close in Arkansas.

Cruz Lose Texas is the sign that Cruz will stay in and run for VP to be a foil against Rubio.

As always the problem with both of them is this:

Cruz was a Canadian just a year and a half ago. He was born in Canada to a Cuban father who became a Canadian himself. People don’t like the way that sounds.

Rubio was born to Cuban parents who had not bothered to become Americans. He probably had Cuban citizenship at birth, and for all we know, he still does. People don’t like the way that sounds.

They’re still trying to tie Cruz in with Trump.

Amazing.

As each week goes by, I read and hear more about the establishment is going to gang up against Trump.

Now it’s Kasich’s turn drop out and turn donors over to Rubio, the establishment favorite.

They are all going to groveling for forgiveness when Trump continues the steamroller express through March 1st.

Stupid, they should sign on and support him NOW.

The establishment is done and that’s the general idea. Trump wants it gone too. Teddy isn’t up to the heavy lifting so he’s going to have to stay in the senate.

Well, in all fairness most of what gets posted on FR is from bloggers who have zip zero nada for credentials, like that Dana Loesch who is a college dropout who started blogging and somehow got picked up as One Of The Smart People, or something. But she has no experience or education upon which to base anything anyone should care about.

Dr. Monica Crowley graduated from Colgate then earned a PhD in International Relations from Columbia Univesity. As a student, she began writing letters to former President Richard Nixon, who hired her as a research assistant in 1990 when she was just 22 years old. She was an editorial adviser and consultant on Nixon’s last two books, and following Nixon’s death, she published two books about him.

This resume makes her someone whose opinion I am more than happy to listen to.

Some people just prefer an echo chamber.

Crowley may not realize that the reason Cruz is my top pick and Trump is my backup is precisely that they will waken or take down the establishment. I do not want the GOP leadership controlling my congressional representatives; I want the Constitution, the interests of my district, and my the interests of my country guiding those legislators.

Robert Reichstag puts Trump at a distant second behind the greatest “threat,” Cruz.

It's time for a third party the "American Party" to serve the people not the globalists.

Yeah, I like the sound of that idea!  America first.

Cruz was my top choice before Reich came out with his attack on Cruz, but I was pleased to see his confirmation that I had chosen well. I am 100% certain that Cruz would govern as a conservative and would shrink the size of government. I trust Cruz on that a lot point more than I trust Trump. However, I consider Trump a lot more electable and somewhat more likely to be successful if he actually turns out to be on our side.

Trump yes, Cruz no... Cruz is backed by the same money men as the rest of the GOP... Don’t expect any structural change to the party or those that pull the strings if Cruz wins.

Nope, there is a growing anger in this country right now, the sad reality is that the Democratic Party as we know of is DEAD. Also now anyone who is NOT a communist/socialist is simply an “outsider”, having been driving out, be they moderates, Reagan Democrats, libertarians, etc., and the reality is that the CONSERVATIVES must come together with the others to TAKE AMERICA BACK.
