“Now Trump is the clear leader in just about every poll, and this has been true for month and month. And the GOP leaders are trying to stab him in the back.”
I’m going to say something that might not be super popular on this fine Thanksgiving morning.
I don’t know that I particularly care. And yes, I’m not a Trump supporter. But even if I was, I’d maybe feel the same way. I don’t know.
The bottom line for me is if the GOPe AT THIS POINT doesn’t like Trump and wants to sabotage him, bump him off (methaphorically hopefully not literally), put their guy(s) in, etc., that’s all part of the show at this point. Polls are nice, but with no votes cast, someone who’s pie in the sky can say Lindsey Graham is dead even with Donald Trump since they have the exact same number of votes and delegates here on Thanksgiving- zero. Now, unfortunately for poor Lindsey, he doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance and Trump seemingly does.
But this is still the “jockeying for position” amongst candidates time rather than the “let’s coalesce behind one person” time since we haven’t even made it to the Iowa yet.
I guess it would be “nice” if the establishment was neutral and just content on letting the people decide and let the chips fall wherever they may. But in not doing that, at least they show themselves for who they truly are- and it’s why many are fed up with them.
I think, if push comes to shove, the GOPe would prefer Cruz over Trump.
I suspect the GOPe knows they will not be able to deal with The Donald, because, no matter what, Trump is his own man.
Whereas I think the GOPe would hold out the faint hope they can corral Cruz to their own ends.
Wouldn’t it be amusing to see the GOPe having to choose between what they consider to be the lesser of two evils?
Actually, I do believe the GOPe would like to bump off Trump — literally.
