Trump has Threaten the Establishment Because he Showed They're Irrelevant

Sounds like an old Marx Brother's Routine: "What's an Irrelevant? It's a thing with a trunk."
Ironic, isn't it? m/r

It's Personal for the Establishment - The Rush Limbaugh Show

3-23-16

... Now, without getting into details and sharing with you excerpts, this is exactly what I was trying to explain in the opening hour of the program today when I was doing my best to explain to you establishment opposition to Trump, that it is personal.  The people I'm talking about, imagine they're Supermen, and this is all kryptonite to them. Everything happening threatens them with a diet of nothing but kryptonite.  Their power, their prestige, their positions, their futures, their present -- their reputations as opinion makers, their reputations as relevant people who matter in terms of Washington and policy, whatever -- all of that is threatened.

Those people's positions exist because there is a Republican Party that is controlled and run by people like them and them.  And when you see a column saying nominating Donald Trump will end the Republican Party as we know it, and so will not nominating him ruin the Republican Party or end it as we know it, the translation of that... If you take that personally, if you apply this personally to people whose very existence, stature, security, financial and otherwise, depends not only on the party existing, but them being in positions of power, defining and controlling it, you understand how separate things are for them.

My only point is that it's personal.  When you see people say, "I'm gonna vote for Hillary Clinton before I the vote for Cruz! I'm gonna the vote for Hillary Clinton before I vote for Ted Cruz..." When you hear Republicans saying that, you realize it's not about the country, it's not about what's best for the country.  It's about what's best for them.  It's about holding onto whatever it is they think they've got.
