Steyn: Trump's Rise Shows GOP Base 'Absolutely Hates' Leadership

Steyn: Trump's Rise Shows GOP Base 'Absolutely Hates' Leadership - Breitbart:
"Columnist and author of “The Undocumented,” Mark Steyn said Donald Trump’s rise in the polls shows “the voter base of the Republican Party absolutely hates the Republican Party leadership and establishment” on Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto.”
Steyn stated, “Sen. Rand Paul says this is temporary insanity on the part of whatever it is, 20-something percent of the Republican base.
I think it was Einstein who said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again, and expecting a different result, and the base supported the Republican Party establishment, delivered them a huge victory in 2010 in the House, and a huge victory in the House and Senate in 2014, and got nothing to show for it.
And they’re tired of getting stiffed by the Republican Party establishment. 
And I think Trump’s rise in the poll, reflects actually nothing more sophisticated than the fact that the voter base of the Republican Party absolutely hates the Republican Party leadership and establishment.”
...Steyn also argued that Trump’s handling of some of his misstatements is “actually a lesson for other candidates, too.
You know, the strangulated, constipated artificiality in which the candidates talk about things, where they say something mildly infelicitous, and then some spokesperson comes out and regrets that they misspoke.
Trump basically does nothing but misspeak, and he never apologizes for it. 
Even the Hispanics don’t seem to mind him saying that Mexicans are just a bunch of rapists.”"
