No, the establishment wanted Jeb but they’ll take what they can get re: Trump, the “deal-maker” (his own words).
I’m sorry but in my mind that argument makes no sense.
They wanted Bush, but after Trump took out their chosen son, they will now glom onto the guy who ruined their plans.
I guess we just see it differently.
Can you imagine what the Trumpies would be saying if that Obama hugging Rino came out for Cruz!!
