The Stop-Trump fever that gripped the Republican establishment for months has broken.
The walls are closing in around a shrinking band of hard-core opponents of the New York billionaire, who is tightening his grip on the Republican presidential nomination with big wins in state after state, congressional endorsements, and the acknowledgment from pillars of the GOP elite that Donald Trump will be the party’s standard-bearer.
There was grizzled RNC committeeman Ron Kaufman likening Trump to Reagan. There was Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s half-hearted endorsement of Ted Cruz. There was former House Speaker John Boehner’s confession that he and Trump are texting buddies and golfing partners. There’s the slew of endorsements (and a prediction by Trump campaign officials that another wave is coming after Indiana votes next week). It’s adding up to a slow but steady coalescing around the man once considered so vile to the GOP base that he’d rip the party to shreds.

Now's the time to stitch together a winning coalition,” said Jon Huntsman, the former governor of Utah. “And it's been clear almost from the beginning that Donald Trump has the ability to assemble a nontraditional bloc of supporters. … The ability to cut across traditional party boundaries — like '80, '92 and 2008 — will be key, and Trump is much better positioned to achieve that.”

LOL! They have it completely bass-ackwards!
Finally; somebody who understands how an immune system works, the prolific production of antibodies in the human body (or body politic) to fight off a foreign invader or pathogen.
The bodies defense system; in this case the body politic (the American people), is producing antibodies (Trump supporters), to destroy the pathogen (the GOPE), the Washington Cartel, and the Free Labor Express.
LOL Again! I was fourth in line to point this out.
i think Rupert has begun warming to Trump.
And I also believe Rupert has a testimony of conversion to Christianity.
Rupert conversion to Christianity? A miracle indeed. I hope it’s true — and lasting.
That’s what Carl Ichan’s 150 million Congressional PAC is doing.
