I don't think Ted is delusional...The new cartel which is Trump and Hillary started out as Beoner and McConnel and the Republican lobbyiests and big banks...Of course now we know that was a sham that Cruz tried to hide...
Cruz is nothing more than a GOPe tool...He's going to run it out right to the convention on GOPe money while the RNC works on figuring a way to cheat Trump out of the election and the American people out of their chosen leader...
We can see now thanks to Trump that the elections have always been a show...A charade to make the people think they/we had a say in who they chose to take the chair of the puppet in chief...
Trump is a member of the donor class. He, of course, has no loyalty to either party or any faction. He gave Boehnet 100,000 which the Speaker used to protect his friends against conservatives. He has given freely to all. Which is why I don’t trust the man. No telling where he would go in office.
