The RNC chose Bush to be the nominee and fielded 17 candidates to split the vote enough to keep Bush in the race and no one candidate able to reach 1237 - then Bush would be nominated at the convention. Just like they gave us McCain and Romney, they wanted another insider career politician they knew they had control over - another Uniparty member.

Trump entering the race destroyed their plans as he gained more votes than anyone thought possible. Cruz was never meant to be a contender - he was only there to split the vote.

The more people find out about Cruz, the more his numbers go down. He is not the Constitution defending crusader his fans make him out to be. Some would say he is not even eligible. He is in fact an open-border, free-trade proponent. He only changed his tune as people flocked to Trump's closed-borders, America-first campaign.

Trump is the only candidate that has a chance at being something different than the decades of Uniparty we've had crammed down our throats. Whether he is or not, will have to wait to be seen. Cruz and Kasich are simply more of the same. Dems, of course, are products of Satan's butt hole and must be beaten at all cost.

Pat Buchanan wrote an article about why Trump's message resonates with so many:
