It’s the propaganda thrust of the establishment this week to try to derail Trump.

As opposed to the daily Trump rally threads posted as breaking news? Can't remember a candidate's travel schedule being posted daily in previous cycles - would think there might be some over-compensation in play.

Further, it is amusing that the Trump supporters focus on the "establishment" meme. Liberal RINO Christie is a member of that group, but no one the Trump side whipped out the establishment epithet when he endorsed their favorite candidate.

It wasn’t meant to be a partisan comment. It was meant to explain what their strategy is following Cruz’s victory in Wisconsin.

The intent is to make it seem somehow far more important than the many more victories of Donald Trump.

“Narrative” is not a bad strategy. As a counselor, I’m aware of ‘narrative therapy’ and know it to be a powerful tool.

The problem in counseling is getting a couple to buy into the new narrative. I suspect the same concern impacts new political narratives.

Thank you making a good point. Our Trump supporters conveniently forget Christie’s (remember the Obama hug Trumpettes?) endorsement and active support.

Ted gets it right and is quoted in the article:

“We are winning because we are uniting the Republican party,” Mr. Cruz said.

Ted is the best thing to happen to the Republican party since...Romney? McCain? Dole?

Ted, the Great Uniter!
