This time the GOP 'moderates' are in a fight with each other

Washington Post:
GOP’s establishment candidates begin taking aim at each other

Many believe the Republican presidential race will come down to a one-on-one contest between an “outsider” who channels the angry base and a candidate more in line with the wishes of the party hierarchy. But those establishment hopefuls must first deal with one another.
Right now they appear to be attracting a minority of the party votes collectively and they are fighting with each other over who is ignoring their day job or who has the least energy.  Meanwhile the party's base is much closer to Trump and Cruz who together are attracting a majority of the voters in early polling.  This is different from the previous two elections where the conservatives split the votes and left an opening for the moderates.
