Most of Trump's supporters a little over a year ago were huge Ted Cruz fans. Whether it be the voter, politicians (e.g. Sarah Palin), or media analysts (Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Wayne Dupree). This was the guy that the establishment dreaded, that those on the outside were rooting for.

It's one thing to just prefer Donald Trump over the other candiates. For example, I had a difficult time choosing in the Kentucky primary for Governor and ended up choosing Hal Heiner. I thought he was the best choice of the four that ran. Did I start bashing Matt Bevin or turning against James Comer or Will T. Scott? No. I still held a tremendous amount of respect for them, knowing where they stood. It's one thing to prefer Donald Trump. Maybe you think he'll get in there and just completely wreck havoc, maybe you think he'll represent the people better and overthrow the establish - or maybe you like how he has been so strong against political correctness. Maybe you like his stance on immigration. If you like him more, that's one thing.

To be so attracted to Trump to let him convince you that the conservative who filibustered Obamacare for 23 hours, who took a stance against the gang of eight and busted that up, who has introduced conservative legislation left and right is all of a sudden some member of the establishment that is in cahoots with Goldman Sachs - who is very liberal on social issues that Cruz has gone against - that is just crazy.

If Trump wasn't able to get the support of people like Jeb Bush or Lindsey Graham, that would be one thing. But considering he is having just as much trouble getting support from the good guys (e.g. Mike Lee or Ben Sasse) that should be a wake up call. Two of his three key supporters, Chris Christie and John Kasich, both have strong estabilshment ties. I always defended the intelligence of the people of the Republican Party after seeing how Obama's supporters acted, but after this, quite frankly, we deserve Hillary Clinton.
