Donald Trump defiant as GOP leaders fight to stop him
LA Times ^ | March 6, 2015 | Michael Finnegan

But since the Republican donor class fell into a panic after Trump dominated last week’s Super Tuesday contests, the pugnacious front-runner has, fittingly, taken an in-your-face approach to its assault on his candidacy, including millions of dollars in advertising against him.

And he has warned the GOP establishment that its attacks risk turning off his huge following.

Very valid point naps. Did I miss Cruz denouncing Beck? I keep looking for it but alas, it’s not to be found. Has he denounced Romney and his pitiful plea?

WTH is Cruz thinking/doing? He’s revealing himself to be a slimy worm, in it for himself, not for ME or YOU.

Yep. Cruz is a in it for himself. A 1-term senator who thinks he’s ready to be president. I’d probably feel better about him a little if he wasn’t a lawyer. They’ve made the worst presidents the last 50 years.

Time to stop the attacks and stop helping the Dems.

I don't believe the establishment gives a damn whether about anything except STOPPING Trump.

They'll accept a Hillary presidency because it keeps the establishment alive and well as in UNIPARTY.

My point. We have a Republican controlled House and Senate.. yet you would think that the Democrats are running things because the Obama agenda has not been stopped.

Simply put.. The establishment is willing to settle for ANY scenario, OTHER than Trump, that keeps the feeding trough in place.

“Cruz is GOPe at this point”

Sad, but true. Either he knowingly letting himself be used, or he is so naïve that he doesn’t realize it.

Too bad that his supporters are willfully too blind to see it.

Exactly. It's almost like something else besides what we see playing out in public, is going on here. The damaging stuff that Trump has on the GOPe must be "yyuge!" Otherwise, why would they have a big contract out on his head before he gets nominated?

Oh, BTW, for those out there who are overly sensitive to reality, I am being very sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek when I speak figuratively about the big contract out on his head.

If the GOPe has bad stuff on Trump, they'd just dribble it out and let the drip-drip-drip damage him over time. But if they are trying to stop Trump, then logic dictates he has something on them that they want kept under the covers.

Obviously, we haven't seen the ending to this flick yet.....

“When I saw it, I thought who would vote for someone running for President who says that?”

Because most of the media and Cruz supporters are dishonest. If Trump had said, I love white people, I love black people, I love all people, the media and the Cruzettes would only quote “I love white people”.

There’s your answer. Dishonesty.

“Cruz should speak out against the GOPe. Isn’t he the one who allegedly says he fights them all the time? This is ripe for him right now.”

I hope Cruz doesn’t prove to be so ambitious that he will remain silent in the face of wrong doing.

Why say something that can be used in the general election that can be used against him? You know the democrat will use it. Is he stupid?

Look^^ I took a sentence out of context. Let me see how I can use it to make Trump look stupid.
