OMG Cruz ''establishment''?? As much as I dislike him, he drives the establishment crazy, because he is anything but that. The establishment can't stand him.
He entered the race as an outsider but ended up being loved by the neo cons in the Republican Party.
MAR 2016,
"Some of the people who have endorsed Cruz: Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee; Jeb Bush, the ex-2016 GOP frontrunner; and Sen. Lindsey Graham."
"Establishment-oriented Republicans are rushing to rally around Cruz, increasingly viewed as the only option Republicans have left to stop current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in his tracks".
“He is the establishment’s favourite candidate".
If that's not establishment I don't know what is.![]()
He is a strict Constitutionalist. Along the lines of Scalia. He even worked for Scalia. He is not for what the establishment/elite want. Things that do not fall under the dictates for the federal government in COTUS.
And in your own post it says "viewed as the only option Republicans have left to stop current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in his tracks". IF they rallied by him at all it was because they hated Trump.
Yes.....when jeb, marco, christie and all the rest lost.....and it was Cruz or Trump they went with Cruz because they hate Trump more......
That is right. But in reality to them it was lesser of 2 evils. NOT because they like him.
I never said they liked him......he was the last guy standing....which is one reason why Trump will pick him....
