THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT IS ROOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP OVER TED CRUZ, Erick Erickson posits:

The truth is this: the establishment wing of the Republican Party would rather Hillary Clinton win than Ted Cruz win. If Ted Cruz wins, a good number of the establishment staff would be on the unemployment line, shut out of jobs in the White House that they covet.

Ted Cruz could use this all in an advertising campaign. The establishment hates him so much they’re rooting for Trump and Hillary. The very guys who lament that the Trump nomination would be the death of the GOP, would rather see Trump win Iowa than Cruz.

However, as with Obama in 2012, Trump gets results!

Eleanor Darragh, mother of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), was born in Delaware on Nov. 23, 1934, establishing her citizenship by birth — and, according to U.S. law, that of her son, even though he was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on Dec. 22, 1970.

The Cruz for President campaign provided Breitbart News exclusively with the birth certificate.

As Breitbart’s John Nolte adds, best that Cruz gets this issue tamped down now, lest Hillary, the original Obama birther and her operatives with bylines in the drive-by media and assault him with a standard-issue DNC-MSM October “surprise,” should he get the nomination:

As “stupid” as this issue may be for [Mark] Levin, do we want to litigate it in front of the American people today or three weeks before the general election, when Cruz is either our presidential or vice-presidential nominee? Because you have to be wearing blinders to believe that will not happen.

Read for numerous examples of leftwing coordinate late hits, the sort of thing that each GOP candidate and his advisors should start prepping for the moment it appears likely he’ll be the nominee, if not sooner.
