I just don't trust Trump --or the GOP leadership

I know Trump didn't really care for BO,  I think he offered to build something 'nicer' for visitors or something and was rebuffed and the oconomy has to have hurt hotel and casino business as fewer folks can indulge in those things.   But Trump has always been a democrat and likes the Clintons,  I can so see him running to muddy the GOP race to help her election chances. 

Now I really really don't trust the GOP leadership.  WTH were they thinking letting a lifelong dem run for the GOP nomination?  The charitable belief would be that they thought he'd burn out in the primary but if they rebuffed him and he went independent he'd pull more GOP leaners than Dems and that would hand the election to the Dems.

But I cannot be charitable to the group that cheered the IRS on as they attacked "tea party" groups, pulled the dirtiest of moves to keep a doddering old fool in the senate when a tea party candidate had forced a run-off in the primary and so on.   My personal theorem is that the GOP enjoys being the minority party as the Dems grow the government.  They don't want smaller government folks getting enough power to actually shrink the federal government no how no way.

I think they welcomed Trump into the race figuring he would split support that would go to a conservative candidate --who shook out to be Cruz, and they would get Jeb or another beltway insider to the nomination.   Even now they are hindering Cruz by keeping Kasich and Rubio in the race.  Mind you,  full throated support of Cruz from them would not be helpful to him because of the deep distrust we have after all their backstabbing and funding every crap thing BO has pushed for, but if they quietly shut down the also rans it would probably improve the odds of Cruz getting the nomination.  But I suspect the DC insiders prefer Hillary to Cruz.   They might pick Cruz or allow state delegates pledged to K and R to switch to Cruz at a brokered convention, but they would do that expecting that hurt feeling from Trump supporters would hamstring Cruz and they would call him the new Goldwater, who scares away the November voters, "so you bitter clingers need to just stay out of the way next time"
