Drudge Report editor and Washington Times columnist Charles Hurt took a look at the state of the Republican presidential primary on Thursday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon.
Hurt said the Republican Establishment loves talking about convention rules, floor fights, and the fine points of delegate behavior because “it allows them to avoid a far deeper and more important problem they have, and that is that they are completely out of touch with Republican voters.”
“They opened this huge avenue for Donald Trump, who isn’t like them, who’s an outsider, who is flamboyant, and is a force unlike anybody else,” he continued. “They allowed him to walk in, and the guy was one hundred percent in tune with voters on everything.”

“Having covered Ted Cruz, and what he has done in the Senate ever since he has been here, to see him now as the henchman and handmaiden of the Establishment to block Donald Trump?” Hurt marveled, scoffing at the suggestion that the Establishment is actually moving in Cruz’s direction on the issues or that they would allow him to win the White House and become the nominal leader of the Republican Party.
“It is not going to work,” Hurt declared. “All he is doing is, he’s doing their work to prevent Donald Trump from clinching the nomination.”

Cruz will never be president (*one exception) you can take that to the bank
(* the one exception is if he does what the establishment tells him...if he does not .... he will ruled a non natural born citizen in the Supreme Court..... his Canadian birth is this Achilles heel that allows the DC establishment Republicans and Democrats to blackmail him or they pulled the plug on him any time he doesn’t serve their purposes.... if and only if he serves there purposes they don’t pull the plug..... he’s the establishment’s little punk ass b**** boy)
I agree!
Lyin Ted is MUCH worse than a liar....
1) Working with Paul Ryan to pass TPA
2) Support for an increase in H1B Visas
3) Voting for the disastrous Corker Iran Bill
4) Slimy Iowa Tactics against Dr. Ben Carson, and those slimy, threatening mailers sent out to voters
5) Passing out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls at the Southern Border to Illegals with Glenn Beck
“...the GOPEstablishment has become Cruz’s lapdog. It is the GOPe that has been forced to fall in line with the TEA party to defend the right-wing from a liberal wolf in conservative sheep’s clothing...”
To believe that the GOPe “establishment elites” would fall in line with Cruz is something that someone who is either high on something or just making a sarcastic remark...
You didn’t sound sarcastic....
And Trump is the liberal usurper of the GOP.

Great summary of Lyin’ Ted....he can now add the following to his *resume*, as well.....
6) Has gone all in with the lying, conniving GOPe/DC cabal.
Awesome clip.
Little to nothing except for the fact that he lost an OPEN primary where democrats have traditionally crossed over and voted for him.
Are you kidding? Trump hasn’t started attacking Hillary yet. He’s been campaigning on the issues people care about. Jobs going out of the country, illegals and drugs poring across the border. A health care plan that males premiums tax deductible and lots more. Trump was not a politician. He’s a businessman using the laws the idiot politicians created.

DONE
6) Has gone all in with the lying, conniving GOPe/DC cabal.
So when trump brags about meetings with Rinse Piehole, and how he used to be establishment and how he can work with the Republican establishment because he knows politicians and how it works, and how Cruz doesn’t get along with anybody because nobody likes him. We cheer. But when all of a sudden Cruz is actually the one getting Republicans from every corner of the ideological spectrum to support him, well he’s establishment now.
Cruz will be blamed in the end for the establishment win.
Nothing to be proud of unless you are one of them.
Cruz is an overly ambitious Freshman Senator, with an enormous ego and with messianic delusions fed to him by his father. The GOPe, as evil as they are, are head and shoulders above him in manipulation - they've got 50 years of experience at these things. His arrogance is only matched by his inside-the-beltway naivete, thinking he can take on these GOPe "advisors".
He and Kasich will be responsible for handing the nomination to one of the GOPe's picks, who like in '08 and '12, will lose to the Democrat1. Then the GOPe - who hates Cruz, will seize the opportunity to stab him in the back, blaming him for the Republicans' loss (it's all Kabuki Theater). Win/Win for the GOPe, Lose/Lose for Cruz.

1. The GOPe - a fully-owned subsidiary of the UniParty - wants to lose anyway. This keeps the gravy train rolling for them.
Wow.... is the tail wagging the dog?....or the dog wagging the tail?
do you Cruisers honestly think that.....
Cruz is calling the shots to the DC establishment now?
vs.
The DC establishment is calling the shots to Cruz?
Is Cruz the tail or the dog... that’s the question...
anybody with half a brain should know
he’s the dogs tail....even what comes out from under the dogs tail
to the DC establishments dog
You don’t say.
Well on to states that actually matter now.
Vote Cruz. Hillary thanks you.
Even if ketamine Kruz was eligible, he's such an unappealing creepy POS that he would lose to Bernie without having his Canadian citizenship card punched.
Cruzholes are mentally ill.
Yes Hillary probably does thank people that vote for Cruz because then Trump can give her more money again and help her get elected (again).
Exactly..........
Also what states matter?
NY will never vote GOP. Name one GOP statewide office holder that is a conservative?
<< The lady or the tiger? Is Cruz a man with principles or a man who wears a mask? >>
Wow. Case closed. Great point.
Cartel Cruz has curiously agreed to side with the DC crowd and to be ridden hard and put up wet.
The Establishment Plantation uses him to nominate a restorer of their rule, in DC, that TRUMP has so badly shaken. Cruz is no leader. He is a player.
So, what I want to know, is what did they promise him to get him to wear the bridle?
Cartel Cruz is an embarrassment to fall for the whispering powers of DC. They must have promised him something to prop up their chance to get an “insider” into the nomination.
Well get used to it...he’s going to be the nominee.
Trump can’t hit 1237—that’s obvious now. Unless Trump really does have magical negotiating powers he won’t be able to win at a contested convention.
Cruz and Trump delegates will vote to keep rule 40b. Meaning they will be the only two people allowed to be nominated and voted on.
