How many times have we heard this and seen that picture?

Minds are made up. All that is left is the voting.

They prefered Reagan to Bush too.

It’s called getting on the winning team after the other guy made you his b*tch.

Establishment prefers Trump to Cruz because Donald can make “really great deals” with the GOPe.

He makes DEALS, that's what he does.

What DEAL did he make with the newly moderate Sarah Palin?

Finally, the establishment is in sync with the people.

Here’s why: it’s easier for RINOs to distance themselves from Trump...

http://blogs.rollcall.com/rothenblog/gop-primary-goldwater-vs-mcgovern/
“A number of Republican and Democratic strategists believe Cruz is the bigger problem for his party’s House and Senate candidates. According to this view, Trump’s candidacy would be neither partisan nor ideological, but entirely personal. Voters would regard him as a wild card, not as someone who represents the views of the GOP.

Cruz, on the other hand, is a more conventional Republican nominee, and voters across the spectrum would see him as defining his party. This would be fatal in northern swing districts, particularly in the suburbs, as well as in swing states with Senate races.”

He was doing pretty good until this "Trump, in other words, has no ideas;" that's when I stopped reading. Anyone that thinks Trump has not been putting lots of ideas on the table has not been paying any attention at all to Trumps' campaign.

Rush likes to refer to Obama as the “man child”.

I listened to Trump on FOX this morning and that was a man child if I ever heard one.

Trump’s got problems. Adult men do not talk like 4th grade little girls on liking and not liking someone.

Sheldon Adelson, the multibillionaire who is one of the largest financial supporters of the Republican Party and personifies the GOP establishment, is one of the largest casino owners in the world. Is anyone surprised that Donald Trump would end up as the preferred establishment candidate? LOL.

Rubio has people doing oppo research in Canada, and idiot FR Trumpbots still think the establishment is against their Lord and Saviour Donald Trump. Idiots? No. Actually, they don’t think that. They know it’s not true. The keep Trumpeting it though. Why? Because the Trumpgasm must go on!

Listen to him reading this prepared “strait talk” statement about increasing ethanol subsidies.

It just oozes with anti-establishment doesn’t it. How about Iowa’s governor who’s a paid agitator for King Corn? This is the guy Trump is gushing about at the begging.

Levin exposed all of this last night (not that it wasn’t already exposed). At this point, if you’re even a tacit Trump supporter, you’re pro-establishment, pro-cronyism, pro-NY values.

Unfortunately, men who talk like 4th grade girls appeal to a lot of American voters these days.

Yes, sure, so that is why the GOPe is plotting ways to stop Trump. They are not plotting ways to stop Cruz.

Cruz voted for TPA and the Corker bill, signaling to the right people that he wants to play ball.

Sort of reminds me of the prank ad on the Rush Limbaugh show. It had a snickering Bill Clinton predicting that Bill Cosby would endorse Trump for the October surprise. Same logic.
