I think they are scared that Trump would shake things up, as he said, and they don’t want to lose their comfortable little perches.
The rest of us want Trump exactly for that — the GOPe and the ruling class of the country needs shaking up badly.

Trumpenstein. They hate him. They had contempt for moderate Republicans McCain and Romney.

“Enmity and Hatred should clearly be studied by reference to their opposites. Enmity may be produced by anger or spite or calumny. Now whereas anger arises from offences against oneself, enmity may arise even without that; we may hate people merely because of what we take to be their character. Anger is always concerned with individuals — a Callias or a Socrates — whereas hatred is directed also against classes: we all hate any thief and any informer. Moreover, anger can be cured by time; but hatred cannot. The one aims at giving pain to its object, the other at doing him harm; the angry man wants his victims to feel; the hater does not mind whether they feel or not. All painful things are felt; but the greatest evils, injustice and folly, are the least felt, since their presence causes no pain. And anger is accompanied by pain, hatred is not; the angry man feels pain, but the hater does not. Much may happen to make the angry man pity those who offend him, but the hater under no circumstances wishes to pity a man whom he has once hated: for the one would have the offenders suffer for what they have done; the other would have them cease to exist.”
I can only speak for myself. I am scared of Trump’s inability to articulate, his “mis-speaking” on issues and his initial inflammatory rhetoric that is now starting to turn cold. In our circle of friends, family, etc. there is not one woman who supports Trump which props up recent poll results. They are all very conservative and they despise him. Not real crazy about Cruz either........so here we are going into another Presidential election without a strong, viable candidate.

Losing to Hillary in a landslide of Biblical proportions?
