They've done this to themselves. There was NO reason for them to endorse during a primary. They did it because of cronyism - pure and simple. And I find that far more ridiculous than getting your nose out of joint because someone calls you "establishment."

Jeez, you'd think an organization so reviled by the right wouldn't let that small word bother them.
