Today's talking heads are entertaining the idea that Ted Cruz is the new hero of the Republican establishment, though they hate him and he hates them, who will save the Party and America from Donald Trump.
Ted Cruz also favors ethnic cleansing and is beloved of the same pundits and professional conservatives as The Donald.
(Ryan favors legal status for the 11 million, but not citizenship. Bernie favors "a path to citizenship.")
People like Pat Buchanan.
Cruz is a bomb-thrower who supported government shutdowns and defaults in the constant battles with president Obama.
Imagine a clone of The Donald who wants to destroy Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and every trace of the regulatory state.
Imagine the most radical conservative in the senate, sitting in the Oval Office.
But he will save control of the party for the conservatives, though he isn't Wall Street's preferred guy, or the moderates' preferred guy, by a long ways.
So they prefer him to Trump.
Kasich is not conservative enough for this Republican Party establishment and not radical enough for the Trump and Cruz loving base.
Though he's still plenty conservative enough to want to cut Social Security and Medicare.
