    Liberal outlets like Mother Jones rooted for Trump during the primary because he embarrassed GOP elites. Is noting that still controversial?

        They also perceived him as much easier for HRC to beat than movement conservative darling Rubio. (oops)

        They were dead wrong about #2 -- Trump is a stronger general election candidate than Rubio would've been: appeals to broader constituencies.

        And GOP elites hated/feared Trump because if elected he'll radically upend movement conservatism, causing a permanent realignment.

        They should have been more concerned with HRC being an awful candidate so these 'concerns' would not be an issue.

        Trump is definitely better than Cruz and Rubio. You can make an argument for Kasich but he's so boring a la Mitt.

        No, but gloating over a potential Trump victory is pretty douchie.

        The mother jones exec editor on Twitter is a bit of an idiot. Xeni RTs her a bunch. No depth or nuance, aimless partisanship. 😕

        "Liberal" should be put in scare quotes. Mother Jones is rolling over in her grave.

        It was never controversial. Most normal americans understand why republican base so sick of establishment. Trump isnt scary either.
