Reassuring to hear if you oppose Trump because you fear he’d be a chaos agent with a nuclear arsenal as president. Probably not so reassuring, though, if you want him to be that chaos agent, as many of his fans seem to do. He’s the guy who’s going to go to Washington and burn the establishment to the ground, right? Well, no. Wrong.
The best part of this is that he’s offering it as a pot sweetener to get rich Republicans to bankroll his general-election campaign, exactly the sort of pandering to well-heeled elites that he attacked to great effect in the primaries. Cruz, Rubio — they were all in the tank for the country-club set because they needed their cash to keep their campaigns going. Trump, the independent billionaire, owed no one anything. Now here we are, with Trump forced to promise the same country-clubbers that he won’t try to undermine the two pols who’ve come to embody the Republican establishment. Perfection.
