re: #69 Testy Toad T

“Establishment” really doesn’t mean shit at this point from a craziness-of-policy standpoint, but it’s accurate and important to note that Rubio is not openly reviled by the average GOP elected official the way Cruz and Trump are.

To amplify this point a bit, there is no crazy nonsense from Cruz or Trump that is a show-stopper for the GOP establishment on policy grounds.

Their main objection to Trump and Cruz is that they think Trump or Cruz will lose a winnable general electron for the GOP.

edited to add: Secondary issues are lack of control over Trump, and Cruz’ remarkable level of assholishness, even for a Republican.
