It just sort of hit me like a lightening bolt today, that Trump is running on a Tea Party platform.
I remember going to the rallies and thinking... these are not traditional conservatives... these people are just as mad about the cuts to medicare as they are about Obamacare being pushed on us, and they don’t seem that interested in social issues at all. They just want to “take our country back”... they are sort of nationalists...
Who does that sound like? TRUMP!
Trump is running a Tea Party campaign, but because the press has managed to damage the Tea Party brand, he isn’t actually proclaiming it.
You are exactly right. Trump is not the Uniparty, just like the Tea Party is not the Uniparty. As such, the Uniparty will sacrifice anything to defeat Trump. If that means the Republicans lose, that’s OK with them. The Republican actors in the Uniparty don’t care, as long as the Uniparty stays in power. The Uniparty will find roles for the RINO losers, as long as the Uniparty stays in power.
The Uniparty has absorbed Cruz - he is no longer one of us.
