David Brooks of the New York, Same Old Agenda Times has threatened (offered?) to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected President. It's a tempting offer, David, but I still must oppose the American Sukarno.
The Republicans have long had specific reasons for opposing and in some cases loathing our liberal Democrat opponents. Some examples:
We despised Ted Kennedy not only because of his politics, but also because of his supreme selfishness and his having been an inherited wealth brat.
We detested both Clintons not only for their politics, but for their rampant greed and dishonesty. (Yes, that includes Chelsea.)
We loathe Barack Insane Obama for many of his beliefs and actions, his betrayals and his Constitution-defiance, but also largely because of his Jupiter-sized ego.
All of these loathsome traits are also perfect descriptors of Donald Trump.
Matt Walsh makes a good point. (Actually, a great many of them.) Donald Trump is a man who is willing to slander Megyn Kelly on Twitter until 4:00 AM after she dares to not genuflect in his presence, but is unable to face her again in a debate setting. We're supposed to believe he could face down Vlad the Impaler Putin and his ilk? Really?
When precisely did Ted Cruz become "the establishment"? Also, who could be more establishment than a politically connected multi-millionaire who cheerfully admits his history of buying off politicians of both parties and his penchant for abusing the eminent domain power to steal the homes of widows and other "ordinary people" in order to enrich himself?
For my entire life I have bristled at hearing my Republican Party derided as "the Stupid Party". If we really nominate this foul-mouthed petulant demagogue who has spent a lifetime opposing everything we believe in, we will deserve the epithet.

I have a campaign ad idea for Ted Cruz
Just a thought - Ted Cruz's campaign people should compile a collection of Donald Trump's non-stop bragging about himself - his "genuineness", his respect for women, his brilliance as an interviewee, his poll numbers, etc. Cut it down to about 55 seconds. (Trust me, the biggest challenge will be editing the massive amounts of boasting they will find.) Then have a narrator say "Imagine having to listen to that for four years."
