      5. So gamble elite is making is GOP can weather a Trump intermission but will be more damaged by being permanently Cruzed.

      6. I have to say, I think the Trump gambit is a dangerous one for GOP elite. Cruz is an extremist but a rational one. Trump is a wild card.

      7. Establishment assumption is Trump is at heart pragmatist, that if they work with him he'll moderate his rhetoric & become mainstream GOP.

      8. You know which other moneyed establishment conservatives thought they could control & moderate a reckless xenophobic demagogue?

      9. I can claim to be prescient in seeing that Trump has large durable support. What I didn't see was how quickly GOP elite would surrender

      10. I genuinely thought GOP elite would have some sense of how dangerous Trump was for both party and for America. I was wrong.

      11. Is GOP elite right in seeing Trump as a Mule? Yes & No. His particular type of politics might be one off. But his model might replicate

      12. Like Berlusconi, Trump has shown has combination of wealth & media savvy allows rich buccaneer to take over political system.

      13. USA has more than a few billionaires & rich celebrities. Trump has shown how they can take over a political party. Model can be repeated

      @carloshasanax On the Dem side any of the Silcon Valley billionaires could made a run. On GOP people like LImbaugh.

          @HeerJeet The SV people have no political instincts. Limbaugh ain't a billionaire, has very high net negatives, and declining ratings.

          @HeerJeet Only 500+ billionaires in the United States. Go through the list, man. Find your hypothetical candidates. I think they're vapor.
