Why ?
I can't find something so old, but I said before Romney every got the nomination that unless people were willing to get in the trenches and take over the Republican machine the same down and dirty way the radicals took over the democrat party we'd be doomed to having whoever the elite said we could have as a candidate.
So, here we are, the corrupt bastards cheat a million or so people out of their votes in Colorado and the elite GOPe try to spin it as Trump not being the good deal maker he claims to be.
The fact of the matter is, Trump isn't an insider and Cruz is, that's the bottom line and just who could have made any difference back in March other than an insider? Someone had to start not in March of 2015, but more like November of 2014 to have made any difference in Colorado in March of 2015.
So, when was Cruz elected to the Senate ? How long after that date was November of 2014 ? Answer that and you have the answer to why the Republicans in the Senate don't like Cruz and it has nothing to do with Cruz being an "outsider". It has to do with Cruz running for President as soon as he walked in the door of the Senate rather than waiting his turn.
Good post. Had to be repeated and this is what is going on.
