Trump or Cruz? GOP leaders shake their heads, prepare to choose

[ScreamingEagle]

Seems the 'Establishment' is on the horns of a dilemma....

Who do you think they will choose...?


Washington (CNN)In the bowels of the Capitol and over meals with high-powered donors, Republican Party elders are begrudgingly coming to grips with what once was unthinkable: Choosing between Ted Cruz or Donald Trump as their party's nominee.

"There's a lot of confusion," said one senior senator, who asked for anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

From their point-of-view, it's not an easy choice: A divisive billionaire with inflammatory rhetoric or an ideologically rigid bomb-thrower who has labeled most of them as patently corrupt -- all in an election year when every House seat is in contention and Republicans are in serious risk of losing their 54-46 Senate majority.

Either way the GOP is going to have to get used to the idea of moving from the drivers seat to the back seat. Cruz has zero chance of winning the general election... Trump, as polarizing as he is, has a chance at the cross over vote and knows how to work the public, so he is their only viable option. Both are clowns in my opinion.

Cruz can't win but may keep the senate red.

Trump can't win and would lose the senate for the GOP.
