What he meant, of course, is that they might have to back Cruz to “save” the Republican party from exercising the will of the American people.
In other words, the Republican Party would rather lose than win.
And the price of a Trump victory in November is a bridge too far for the party’s leaders to stomach.
Nicely put. That and if Leslie is willing to play ball with Cruz then you know they can take Cruz in the back room and have a little talk with him. I guess you could call it an ‘attitude adjustment’ meeting. They must be really scared that Trump is going to break up the good ole boy back room poker game. Why is it, they never fought BO this hard? They must not be making out so badly under the current administration. I don’t know what would have them freaking so badly.
