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 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 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
