establishment gop is starting to like trump....soon they will lOVE him

[spanone]

Former Sen. and GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole made a pretty stunning admission yesterday: If forced to choice between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, he’d pick Trump. “I question his allegiance to the party,” Dole said of Cruz, per theNew York Times. But Dole added that Trump could “probably work with Congress, because he’s, you know, he’s got the right personality and he’s kind of a deal-maker.” (Dole told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell last month that he “might oversleep” on Election Day if Cruz is the GOP nominee.) New York magazine’sJonathan Chait lists other parts of the GOP establishment that have warmed up to Trump – including the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page and Rupert Murdoch. And Cruz, not surprisingly, has fired back at the establishment. “We see the Washington establishment abandoning Marco Rubio and unifying around Donald Trump,” he said yesterday, according to NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard. But when you look at the feeling thermometer in the latest NBC/WSJ poll, the GOP establishment might be making a risky bet here on Trump:


Trump’s overall positive/negative score: 29% positive, 58% negative (-29)
Among African Americans: 9% positive, 81% negative (-72)
Among Latinos: 22% positive, 69% negative (-47)
Among women: 26% positive, 62% negative (-36)
Among independents: 26% positive, 52% negative (-26)
Among suburban voters: 31% positive, 55% negative (-24)

Cruz’s overall positive/negative score: 31% positive, 35% negative (-4)
Among African Americans: 19%-39% (-20)
Among Latinos: 23%-34% (-11)
Among Women: 31%-32% (-1)
Among independents: 19%-41% (-22)
Among suburban voters: 30%-34% (-4)

1. The way I read those numbers ...

Cruz' negatives are only better than Trump's because fewer people know who he is or what he stands for. His positive numbers are very similar to Trump's.

2. Say it, it is because tRump is a bully

I don't think they are warming up, it is just that they realize that they have no choice. They did it to themselves
