Drudge Report editor and Washington Times columnist Charles Hurt took a look at the state of the Republican presidential primary on Thursday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon.
Hurt said the Republican Establishment loves talking about convention rules, floor fights, and the fine points of delegate behavior because “it allows them to avoid a far deeper and more important problem they have, and that is that they are completely out of touch with Republican voters.”
“They opened this huge avenue for Donald Trump, who isn’t like them, who’s an outsider, who is flamboyant, and is a force unlike anybody else,” he continued. “They allowed him to walk in, and the guy was one hundred percent in tune with voters on everything.”

“Having covered Ted Cruz, and what he has done in the Senate ever since he has been here, to see him now as the henchman and handmaiden of the Establishment to block Donald Trump?” Hurt marveled, scoffing at the suggestion that the Establishment is actually moving in Cruz’s direction on the issues or that they would allow him to win the White House and become the nominal leader of the Republican Party.
“It is not going to work,” Hurt declared. “All he is doing is, he’s doing their work to prevent Donald Trump from clinching the nomination.”

Cartel cRuz!!! Spot on!!
Can his nose be wedged up any higher in the cartel’s backside? No!
Look at all the morons who voted for Obama just because he was black and all the same morons who are voting for Hillary just because she has a womb....
Isn’t THAT the truth.
The Cartel Cruz supporters apparently still believe Lyin’ Ted, the pie eyed piper from the big purse powers, of the DC Cartel.
I know whatcha’ mean.
He’s anointed. How can you have misgivings??
<< If they’d picked Trump his amen corner would be claiming “ Donald own3s the GOPe”. >>
Yes, and without that PAC and Sack money, that would make it true.
TRUMP is indebted to no man but the people, who continue to make him the frontrunner.
Cartel Ted is a mule. TRUMP nailed him. A TROJAN HORSE, to restore the Establishment strangle hold on power.
That goes for the MSM that tries to castigate Trump all the time also...You believe anything THEY say....
Yep, Ted Cruz is the Republican Party’s useful idiot, and his supporters fail to see the truth.
“Is there a single Cruz supporter out there who is willing to concede some misgivings about Cruz backers from the Establishment?”
Wasn’t Donald Trump recently boasting about his friendly phone calls from Paul Ryan and his ability to work with Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid. Any misgivings about that? Or you willing to give yet another pass to the former New York Democrat?
Amazing to see the GOPee support...especially HERE!!
The DC cabal is exactly who we’ve been yelling and screaming about, here, for years....and is exactly who cRuz is a part of/joined at the hip with/owned by.
Gullible ignorance on full display :(
Why, because you believe in fantasies?
OR, the GOPEstablishment has become Cruz’s lapdog. It is the GOPe that has been forced to fall in line with the TEA party to defend the right-wing from a liberal wolf in conservative sheep’s clothing.
It looks like the establishment/wall street lobbyists are going to be in charge no matter who is elected.
Jim R. is a better man than I to tolerate some of the bullpucky that's going on lately.
That stuff you’re smoking isn’t legal, you know....
The weight is on the back of Cruz. Either he is a member of the GOPe attempting to STOP Trump and there by helping the elite congress critters who will give in and actually ‘give’ Cruz the nod to continue or - he knows how the GOPe will never change their elite spots to the lines on the tiger and has developed his own plot to cease the reins from GOPe with a Cruz/Trump plan to take it down and out. The lady or the tiger? Is Cruz a man with principles or a man who wears a mask? In this mind he is no principled man who claims NBC even though born in Canada and ignores his beloved Constitution so little as to ignore the fact.
I don't understand your response - please clarify how it is germane to the thread.
Did you have another point?
