Yep, the GOPe are desperate that Donald Trump may well upset their ongoing control and are willing to back Cruz , whom they hated, to keep their uniparty.

Not sure they really hated Cruz ...it’s my contention that Cruz was always the establishment’s “anti-establishment” candidate ... a very palatable last resort if you will ...

I’m tired of PC cucks and GOPe globalists. Ted Cruz is annoying because he’s quite obviously a phony. Just watching his nervous ticks and robotic mannerisms as he recites his answers in interviews makes me cringe. Watching him blame Trump for leftist riots, play the usual “I didn’t say that, it was my Super PAC” game, and all his other weasel garbage is just SAD!, because it’s causing otherwise well-meaning people who are sick of leftists to grow vaginas and act just like leftists themselves.

Hopefully the people who support Cruz will come around some day and leave behind the crybaby “me too” GOPe bought-and-paid fraud that is Ted Cruz. But if they don’t, whatever.

DT will still get the votes he needs, and we’ll Make America Great Again for everyone. Even the people that got fooled by Ted.

If you read the article it says the GOPe ard rallying around Cruz
to stop Trump.

It never says they are rallying around Cruz to give him the nomination.

Surely Cruz knows he is being used.

Crux is a member of a horrible cult, the “ SEVEN MOUNTAIN DOMINIONIST”. Not only is he creepy to any Christian with discerning spirits, HE WAS ANOINTED “ MESSIAH” in that horrible cult. Look it up!! He thinks that he has to win in order for our Savior , Jesus , to come back!! He wants to take your money and give it to cult members!!This man is SATANIC!! Go Trump!!~

Ted isn’t running for Ted. That ship has already sailed.

Ted is still running so that Mitt or Jeb can be the nominee. Ted is in it for Goldman Sachs: they own the establishment, which means they own Ted and his wife.

I believe Cruz is now in it to stop Trump. Many times Cruz would say Trump is not going to be the nominee just like Jeb and other GOPE have declared. There is something shady going on and Cruz is a part of it.

That would not surprise me. I could see the GOPe planting a anti-establishment candidate, in the event that someone took out JEB.

What they didn’t expect was Donald Trump. If Trump wasn’t there, JEB would have been the likely nominee and Cruz would have been out of the race.

Cruz — the GOPe’s choice for Republican presidential nominee — to ensure a previously agreed win for Hillary.

>>Not sure they really hated Cruz ...

Trump disagrees:

“He is “a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.”

“Not sure they really hated Cruz ...it’s my contention that Cruz was always the establishment’s “anti-establishment” candidate ... a very palatable last resort if you will ...”

All that remains for Cruz’ contrition is for him to make a “pilgrimage” to the Senate and kiss “king” Scrotum Neck’s ring! So, for all the Cruzers here, it that “kosher?”

Tech billionaires (major Dem donors) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump

http://nypost.com/2016/03/08/tech-billionaires-plot-with-gop-leaders-to-stop-trump-at-exclusive-island-resort/

Billionaires, top tech CEOs and leading figures of the GOP establishment gathered on an island off the coast of Georgia this weekend for a conference where the main topic was how to stop Donald Trump, according to a new report.

Also on hand were Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Republican elder statesman Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he could never support Trump.

  There should be a rule that states that any Republican candidate who ran for President of the US against Obama and still lost is now barred for nomination.

This election is really about The Cheap Labor Express vs the citizens

They had planned on the usual gambit of a Designated Loser like ¡Yeb! losing graciously to block us from electing anyone who would stop them from flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.

Trump stepped up on the side of the citizens and it has them scared spitless. The citizens finally have a champion.

Now the only thing they have left is to try to steal the nomination at the convention.

¡Teb! is being used to stop Trump, which is really The Cheap Labor Express stopping the citizens from keeping our country.

¡Teb! has gone to the dark side.

“Let’s you and him fight!” is what the GOPe is doing- the oldest trick in the book.
