The proof that this was an illegitimate usage is that for the first half of the campaign, Donald's talking point against Cruz was that the whole GOP hated him and he couldn't get along. Now we're supposed to believe that Cruz is part of the establishment, even though the establishment hates him?
I know it's asking a lot of Trump supporters to use their brains, but think on this: every time a Cruz supporter, like me, sees a sophomoric (the "Pee" sound at the end is not unintentional) made-up term used by Trump supporters to insult Cruz and his supporters, that makes us feel anger towards you and Trump, and creates disunity, not the unity Jim Robinson claimed to be asking for.
If it walks like a duck... One need only look at who is running, funding and helping Cruz now, Its the Who’s who of the GOP Establishment.
And anybody who does not support Trump fall into at least 4 groups it seems.
1. Enemies of America including Foreign, US Globalists/Dems, Media, etc.
2. Gravy Train riders afraid of Trump stopping their ride.
3. Emotionally invested who place Cruz on a Pedestal.
4. Lo-information voters who get their information from the 6 corporation media (see 1 above) and do not know what is going on.
A decent explanation with supporting facts on what the Establishment is and where Cruz fits into it.

As far as using brains, Not a one of the Cruz supporters can tells us how Cruz can win the General when he could not win the swing states and will have a fractured base from a contested convention.
Now, When you have much smarter and better conservatives than you supporting Trump over Cruz, such as Jeff Sessions, Palin, Sheriff Joe, This sites Owner, etc; and the side you are on is allied with America’s enemies, it looks idiotic to be claiming we are the ones not using our brains.
