I get it that they dont want Trump, but why waste so much time attacking him when it will only make him stronger? The smart thing to do would be to go after Cruz or Rubio like this and then try to take Trump on 1 on 1. And these establishment hacks get paid the big bucks for their dumb strategies? GOP dumb as rocks! Heck, I want Trump, but it would be more satisfying if he actually had to beat smart people and not dummies.

There is no strategy to attack someone who isnt a beholder to others.
You guys might have missed it today -- but Trump is going to have to seek outside people to finance him in the General Election -- SO TRUMP WILL BE BEHOLDEN TO HIS DONORS!
Personally, I left the Republicans for the Libertarian Party nearly thirty years ago; But both major parties have so much dead weight (the Republicans have the Religious Right, and the Democrats so many who are economically ignorant) that a person who wants to look a little deeper has nowhere left to go.
What we're sinking into reminds me of what I've read about in Enrique Kraus' book Mexico: Biography of Power -- a well-educated elite who led the masses around by the nose because the lumpenproletariat had to devote all their efforts to the daily struggle, and there was a small group of generally better-educated but less-secular people who could be demonized when things didn't go according to plan.
The Republicans still have enough of a core constituency to survive, so we might end up with two dominant parties, a collection of "swing groups" like the Libertarians and Greens, and a large supply of potential demons. And maybe in twenty years enough of the new immigrants (and their kids) will have enough education (and progress) to vote based more on what they have to lose. (That scenario seems to be emerging in some areas south of the Rio Grande, and among some of the blue collar immigrants I work with}.
But we're in for a bumpy ride -- so fasten the seat belts.
