The SINGLE most fascinating aspect of the Ted Cruz situation
I read a number of articles this morning on what's happening inside the "machine," but here's the gist of it.
You have what are referred to as "greybeard" Republicans like Bob Dole predicting a chain reaction of losses for the GOP if Cruz gets on the ticket.
If you do just a little bit of Googling you will see a list of Republicans who "should" be behind Cruz. These people actually loathe him.
We all remember how the Republicans felt that McCain / Palin 2008 was a train wreck, that they'd have to sit back and let Obama win and then blister his ass in 2012.
And as fate would have it, the blisterer was Mitt Romney, who is probably sitting in his mansion right now applying a soothing unguent to the still-healing blisters on his own ass.
But there is a lot of buzz around the concept of Republicans willing to sacrifice 2016 so that Cruz gets on the ticket and the voters demonstrate to him just how toxic he is, thereby obliterating any future "Presidential aspirations" he might have. Take one for the team, make Ted go "boom," end of the Ted story.
I have no idea what Trump's endgame is, other than stoking his own ego. If he gets the Republican nod and puts Cruz on the ticket, I predict a Democratic "Get Out The Vote" grassroots effort to end all grassroots efforts.
Here's my challenge to DU...how would YOU feel if you were so disrespected, so despised, so loathed by "your own people" that they would be willing to give up what they wanted most just to witness your public and humiliating downfall?
