Chuck Grassley: The First Crack In The Republican Establishment Anti-Trump Wall.

Up until now, the plutocrat-funded Republican establishment has presented a united front against Trump. Mainly because, despite their greed, corruption and maliciousness, they actually have enough brains to realize that putting an asshat like Trump at the top of the GOP ticket would cost them the White House, and possibly the Senate, too.

That was the case, until CRUZ started to overtake him. After changing their pants, some of the establishment types are now looking on Trump as the horrible, hideous, but still lesser of two evils. Looks like Chuck Grassley has become the first crack in the GOP establishment wall. He introduced Trump at a rally over the weekend, but afterwards claimed "It doesn't count as an endorsement, because I meant nothing to me, and I was THINKING of the GOP establishment the whole time..." And besides, he didn't actually use the three magic words: "I ENDORSE him."

My political wet dream is that Jeb Bush will get nominated at a brokered convention, and Trump will stomp off and do a third party/independent run, in TRUE Wallace style.
