Why the Establishment Hates Trump
wn.com ^ | 04/05/2016 | John McMurtry

"On the face of it, Trump is Reagan on steroids. His towering size, his nativist US supremacism, his down-home talk, and his reality-show confidence make him ideal for the role of bullying and big lies from the oval office. He is America come to meet itself in larger-than-life image to rejuvenate it as its pride slips away in third-world conditions and a multi-polar world."

I heard a talk show host say that the Republican establishment hates Trump because he is threatening to take away their base, and they fear losing control of the base than losing yet another election to a Democrat.

Trump will shut down the money train in DC

That is threating to everyone involved

But most people like the money train because they benefit greatly from it

We don’t have the stones to fix it and never will

“I heard a talk show host say that the Republican establishment hates Trump because he is threatening to take away their base, and they fear losing control of the base than losing yet another election to a Democrat.”

Who said that?

It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard:

The GOPe hates it’s base and is embarrassed by it.

The GOPe clearly prefers Hillary over Cruz or Trump.

Trump is a LIBERAL! He gave money to Hillary and said she would make a great President.

He called for longer waiting periods on gun purchaes and a ban on “assault weapons”.

He supported PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION.

He endorsed Bill De Blasio.

He called for government run, single payer healthcare THIS YEAR.

I was their base for 42 years...I changed my registration and am out of the party forever. Never again will I cast any vote for any Republican, I’ve been lied to by politicians enough for one lifetime.

They may be about the same height, but that’s where it ends for the Trump versus Reagan comparison.

Those labels don’t matter anymore

If anything Cruz is a liberal

For destroying this country with illegal immigration and bad trade deals

There is no such thing as 'dominionism'.

It is a derogatory term used mostly by leftists to tag all conservative Christians as theocrats.

What are you smoking?

Trump's statement tonight says he's planning to bolt the party and take his army rogue.

You heard it here first.

The establishment “hates” Trump? The establishment , and the public, think he would be for their interest as business as usual, but not as POTUS. Trump could not be gracious tonight, can’t find it in his DNA.
Fair enough, enjoy Hillary.

Just about everyone hates Trump, except for a narrow band. Trump is a nasty guy, and a liar. Voters are seeing that.

Your “narrow” Trump band will be roughly 45% of all primary of primary votes cast. Contrast that to 13% in OH and 17% in FL for Cruz. No contest.

They’ve hated Trump ever since he singlehandedly re-opened the discussion on illegal immigration; our Republocrat overlords had already decided that was a closed issue.

They hate Trump for the same reason the love Cruz. Trump will destroy them and give the Republican party back to the people in the stands and Cruz is a willing tool to help them keep their power. There is no mystery here.

I'm sure some in the FR Trump echo chamber thinks his post WI primary rant was statesmanlike and totally factual. But I'm pretty sure more reasonable people see it for what it was - infantile.

And btw calling someone a liar doesn't make an argument.

Skeeter, soon you will join the ranks of the ZOTTED,it’s sorta like an honor role for liberal trolls, but you’ll like it there. You can write your half truths and liberal clap trap and read it to yourself. Then take your meds and relax and watch Mr. Rodgers on TV.
