Trump has attacked the establishment - and they’ve deserved it. They gave us Dole, McCain and Romney, and wanted to give us JEB. They’ve lied to us, taken our money and votes and then spit in our faces. They’re trying to do it again.
Both Cruz and Trump are running as outsiders to that establishment - and supposedly for the benefit of We The People. What kind of tragedy would it be for the 2 of them (and their supporters, the supposed beneficiaries of their campaigns) to have a fight to the death, only to allow either an establishment candidate to be inserted, or for the “winner” to be so weakened that he cannot possibly defeat Hillary?
Whether you understand it or not, Cruz and Trump supporters stand for most of the same things. We agree about 80% of the time. How much do you, or I, agree with the Dems? Lots less than 10%, I’d guess. So isn’t it better to get 80% of what you want than 10%?
The “team” isn’t the Party hacks like Priebus, it isn’t Cruz or Trump or Kasich or any other candidate - it is US. All of these other people have the necessary power and connections to come out of any crisis just fine - but we ordinary folks don’t generally have those things going for us. The Dems win, and WE lose. The party hacks will always find a cushy job.
Yeah pretty damn hard to go with that considering all of the vile insults and continued attacks.
Trump supporters make it quite hard to stomach Trump. Even more then he does.
