The Republican establishment has gone all in on Donald Trump.\u00a0 If you believe the pundits on Fox News, this basically paves the way for Trump to win the nomination.\u00a0 They could be right about that, but perhaps they are missing something really big.\u00a0 The primary appeal of Donald Trump is that people view him as someone who will fight for them.\u00a0 He is the ultimate anti-establishment candidate.\u00a0 When the Republican base was trashing Trump, it just elevated him in the eyes of people who are furious with the inept Republican establishment.\u00a0 Now that the Republican establishment has embraced him and welcomed him to the club, that may change.\u00a0 Ironcially, by hating Trump, the establishment helped him.\u00a0 Now by loving him they are likely to hurt him.\u00a0 A classical example of the Republican establishments incedible arrogance and ignorance.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the Republican establishment has openly admitted that Ted Cruz will not cut deals with them.\u00a0 That is why they hate him.\u00a0 It is also why we hate them.\u00a0 Glenn Beck is already campaigning with Ted Cruz.\u00a0 This morning Rush Limbaugh painted Donald Trump with the establishment brush.\u00a0 A lot of people listen to these guys.\u00a0 This has the potential to spread like wildfire in conservative\u2019s hearts all over the country.\u00a0 LBJ once said that if he had lost Walter Cronkite, he had lost the country.\u00a0 He had certainly lost the Democratic base.\u00a0 Trump may soon realize that if he lost Limbaugh and Beck, he has lost the Republican base.<\/p>\n
Ted Cruz may also benefit from the most important endorsement of all.\u00a0 Bob Dole said that Ted Cruz was the worst possible choice for the Republican establishment.\u00a0 Dole fears that Cruz would lose in a general election.\u00a0 No one has more expertise in losing an election they should have won than Bob Dole.\u00a0 Bill Clinton was in serious trouble running for re-election in 1996.\u00a0 The only thing that saved him was the idiotic decision of the Republican establishment to run Bob Dole.\u00a0 Remember all the brilliant things Bob Dole said over the last twenty years?\u00a0 Me neither.<\/p>\n
