GOP VOTERS NOW THINK OF TED CRUZ AS ESTABLISHMENT - HuffPollster: “Here’s the latest proof of how strange this primary cycle has become: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who’s long tried to leverage his colleagues’ loathing into a version of outsider cred, is overwhelmingly viewed by his party as an establishment candidate. In a new HuffPost/YouGov survey, 62 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say that Cruz is more of an establishment candidate, while just 29 percent describe him as an outsider. That’s a marked shift since December, when just 36 percent considered him part of the establishment….While that might help Cruz make his case on the floor of a contested convention, it’s unlikely to endear him to his party — 62 percent say they’d prefer a political outsider. In contrast, just 26 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters say the same.“

Well, when the Bush clan moves in, you pretty much ARE the establishment.
Set your wings and land on the pond, waddle into a bar, shake your pin feathers and start quacking about how you are the stud duck, and sooner or later people start saying, “Put it on his bill.”
What's impressive is that voters are following things. Polls seems to show how quickly folks are responding to situations that arise.
Most think George T Bush III place is the GOP stooge.
Pray America wakes
The Huffington is a stalwart of conservative reporting and should be where everyone goes for their news/opinion polls. They are the voice of conservatives.
Is tag necessary?
Insanity.
Don’t they mean the GOPxe ??
I don’t think the GOP leadership has yet woken up to the reality that the GOP “faithful” have had it with the “top 0.1%” who use all their power to try to manipulate/control the rest of the 99.9% of their base. If they really were “conservative” then why have they for 17.3 of the past 21.3 years having control of the government’s agenda been so disgustingly pathetic. Why is the National Debt higher today than when Newt took the gavel in 1995? Why have any debt ceiling limit raises happened? Why hasn’t the non-federal percentage of GDP gone up as we have suffered from years and years of the non-federal economy in the USA being cut down by the greedy GOPe, their Speaker, and their power games.
I don’t trust Donald Trump one bit. I worry that he’ll be a real douchebag President. However I hope he proves me wrong and that he is being honest that he’s doing it for the country’s well-being and that he’ll finally do something that the GOPe (and the Democrats) have failed to do and that’s to remember that the first 3 words of the Constitution are “We the People”, the government gets its powers from us, and those powers are very limited & under tight scrutiny, balance between levels/branches, and ultimate sovereignty rests with the people.
I think it’s silly all the games that the Trump, Cruz, Kasich, and “None of the above” supporters are playing on each other now. There is one person in America who will do more than anyone else to cause the Trump-Cruz supporters to join together for the November election. I’ll give you a hint .... she sometimes has an Arkansas accent, sometimes has a New Yorker accent, and she liked to secretly and irresponsibly use her Blackberry with an email server in her home bathroom closet to illegally transmit highly classified federal Top Secret documents. Trump may never be able to unite the GOP under him. But she will ;)
In spite of the brilliance the Cruz staff has demonstrated to date, they missed this one badly.
It's nearly impossible to perpetrate that level of deception in the modern, connected era. Especially with an electorate mad enough to pay attention.
Democrats don't have this issue as most of their electorate is stupid, uninformed or simply don't care.
But it's not going to fly with a Republican, not this time.
* Wants to change Republican platform on abortion
* Wants to tax the rich
* Supports LGTB, males in female restrooms.
Dumbfounds me as to how many so-called Conservatives have been conned by this clown.
When you’re a Bushy, you’r establishment.
“One of the reasons I was so eager to help Bush is the way he has described himself, as a compassionate conservative,” Mr. Cruz told a Princeton alumni publication in 2000, not long after writing the memo. “That’s how I have always conceived of my own political views.”
Who will you vote for then in November

LOL. Trump is what he is and we all know exactly what he is. A choice has been made. Nobody is being conned. Not by Donald Trump. And not by Ted Cruz’s supporters.
Geez, you join yourself at the wallet to Neil Bush, then people find out your wife is working to bring The United States into a North American Union for Goldman Sachs, and suddenly you lose the Washington outsider label.
But, but, it’s not what he wanted. Ted Cruz is Janus!
Priebus is, or is not, saving his job. He’s at the center of the circle with the Establishment *neverTrump crowd, and signaling they are losing the people to TRUMP.
Cruz, like Hillary, is happiest when threading needles on policy and back room deals for power.
Trump eats needles for breakfast and says what he believes, take it or leave it. American MEN haven’t done that out, loud and in public, for at least a couple of decades, without cultural consequences.
Cruz is political player who’s never had a job outside of government. Trump is a “blue collar billionaire”. It shows. And, the people like it.
Well, when the Chris Christie clan moves in, you pretty much ARE the establishment.
