Call me Captain Obvious but the GOPe hates Trump because they will not be able to control him....and that makes me want him to be President all the more. Cruz comes in a far second because he, like Trey Gowdy in the House are all talk and no substance. Cruz will do what his masters want and most thinking people know that. We all thought that both of those gentlemen would be our saviors and shake up things in Washington but IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. GO TRUMP!
I’m at the point where I would describe the GOP as a fake WWE-wrestling organization which dreams up tifts and fights, which are fake but realistic. They use the news media about as much as the Democrats, and I’ve reached a point where I can’t really say there’s that much difference between the two parties. They represent something....it’s just not for the people back home and in their home district/state.
Your argument is weakened with fallacious statements like that. Cruz obviously doesn't do what his "masters" want or he wouldn't be as hated as he is by many Republicans in the Senate. As for what "most thinking people" know, well, good luck backing THAT statement up.
To the GOP leadership, losing control of the base is worse than losing yet another election to Democrats.
