Trump still has issues (ground game, not-so-great IA numbers, mediocre favorables) but party opposition was supposed to be ace-in-the-hole.
IMO, GOP party elites are wrong here, but fact they think like this makes me way less skeptical of Trump's chances.http://nyti.ms/1JYBg5q

@NateSilver538 -#trump the moderate choice to prevent a dangerous extremist. Now I really have heard everything. -
@NateSilver538 So, to sum up, CEO’s can’t stomach Trump and GOP elites can’t stomach Cruz. And GOP base loves both. Roosters coming home. -
-
@NateSilver538 What's interesting is that Trump is who threatened to run independent just a month or two back. But Cruz is suspect? -
@poljunk@NateSilver538 He did not. Jeeze read The Art of the Deal for chrissakes. -
@huitecouture@NateSilver538 What does a book written in 1987 have to do with his indy threat two months ago?

@NateSilver538 Agree. If Bob Dole can hold his nose and vote for Trump, other moderate GOP insiders will do same. -
@zepol@NateSilver538 Same way party embraced Palin in 2008, even though many knew it could/would end badly.

@NateSilver538 did you say last year Trump chances were 2%? -
-
@NateSilver538 he's 92! And admits Cruz hurt his feelings. Not sure you can generalize old man yelling at cloud to "GOP elites" -
@5Jimbo5@NateSilver538 Old men yelling at clouds is exactly what the GOP elites are. -
@JulianNotaro1@NateSilver538 not disagreeing with that, just questioning Dole as representative of GOP when he can't chew his own food

@NateSilver538@nytpolitics My gosh. The "we can do business with" Trump argument. -
@NateSilver538 trading one evil for another, when there are lesser evils available. -
-
@NateSilver538 Nate, how are they "wrong"? Smarmy dislikable ULTRA-right Ted Cruz would be the worst candidate they could possibly offer, - 1 more reply

@NateSilver538 What? Not long ago, your website stated that Trump had zero chance of winning the nomination. Zero. -
@NateSilver538@EWErickson Bob Dole should be an expert on cataclysmic losses. Along with John McCain and Mitt Romney.
