re: I still don’t understand this Ron vs Trump thing on this board

but the establishment coalescing behind Ron and pushing him out there as their Trump Killer candidate is not nonsense or made-up. They just bailed on him recently when they realized he was not going to beat Trump. They have pivoted from him to Neocon Nikki as their last hope to get Democrat and suburban women voters they need to beat Trump.

No doubt about that. Is that Ron's fault? I think Ron is viewed (by the establishment anyway) as someone who potentially can be used/manipulated while in office whereas Trump is a known quantity that tries to put policies in place antithetical to establishment interests.

Again, I don't view that as Ron's fault, per se. He was just the best non-Trump option for many people.
