..."The GOP is nakedly now a 'clientist' party the same as the Democrat Party. They just have different clients.
And those clients aren't us." -- Ace of Spades HQ
There are a lot of things I could say about Donald J. Trump, but he isn’t responsible for 95% of the problems the Republican Party has today.
Do you want to know who is responsible for most of the problems in the Republican Party?
It’s the Republican Establishment.
“But John, there is no Republican Establishment!
In fact, I’d like to see somebody actually name some names.
Why don’t you name the Republican Establishment!
Dare you…”
Being part of “the establishment” is more than just having power in the Republican Party or alternately being obsequious to the people in power; it’s a contemptuous attitude toward the concerns of grassroots conservatives and Americans in flyover country.
It’s an attitude that says…
* We don’t need to get the most votes to choose the nominee; we’ll just keep the candidates preferred by the peons from getting enough delegates so we can install someone we want at the GOP convention.
* Yes, we promised you that we’d fight Obama on the campaign trail, but if you actually expected us to do it, you’re a chump.
* Sure, we talked tough about illegal immigration to the yahoos to get elected, but now that we’re in office, we’re going to do the opposite.
* We’re going to use the contributions and influence of Republican Party organizations to defeat electable conservatives in GOP primaries because we prefer go-along-to-get-along moderates in Congress.
* We’re willing to do what you hicks want us to do on show votes, but when it really matters, we’re going to go against you and hope you’re not sophisticated enough to figure it out.
The Tea Party gave the Republican Party the House in 2010 and the establishment said, “We can’t do anything because the Democrats have the Senate and the White House.
Give us the Senate and EVERYTHING will change.
Then we’ll fight for you!”..."
