The Trump phenomenon was a thumb in the eye of liberal complacency. It was the first time in my memory that a Republican gave the same treatment back to the Democrats. That caused this new fretting over polarization. There was no polarization when only one side (the Dems) was the bully.
No one spoke of polarization when the left demonized a decent man like Mitt Romney. But when you have a candidate like Trump hit back, now you have polarization. This should have been a gift for Republicans -- but it wasn't.
Where Trump and his mouthpieces went wrong was turning this into an attack not on leftism, but on the establishment -- which lumped real Republicans, ideological conservatives, hard working grass roots activists, and even noted military heroes into the same box as Hillary, Obama, Hollywood and the Harvard faculty.
Sorry Trumpets -- those people who were winning Republican state seats and governorships for decades -- they weren't the enemy. They were on your side -- and they were slandered by simpleminded shouters.
The fallout: a lower, less enthusiastic turnout among Republicans.

Maybe it's me, but Gutfeld seems to want to both support and slander Trump voters simultaneously.

Wrong, Gutfeld. The NeverTrumps fired the first shot. They undermined the most conservative candidate during an election with shockingly high stakes.
They sowed the wind. Now they *will* reap the whirlwhind.

Support AND slander? Maybe Gutfield got the idea from Mark Levin. Levin has been doing both for weeks.

Sorry Trumpets -- those people who were winning Republican state seats and governorships for decades -- they weren't the enemy.Sorry, Greg. Those people won elections by promising to stand against Progressivism--and then failing to do so. Trump is a Frankenstein of their creation.

He’s dead wrong about the Republican establishment. Voters put Republicans in office to stop Obama. They coddled him and passed his agenda.
That makes them nothing but Democrats.
To: workerbee
This loser has already accepted defeat.
Trump picked the correct targets. We are sick of this rigged system.
Drain the swamp.

The fallout: a lower, less enthusiastic turnout among Republicans.Yet the primaries had higher turnout, and Trump is pulling in more to his rallies.

A Clinton victory "no big deal" you say, Gutfield? One word for you, cuck -- SCOTUS.
If you think a Clinton-stacked SCOTUS is "no big deal," then you are the enemy. So I say again, FUGG.

Sorry Trumpets -- those people who were winning Republican state seats and governorships for decades -- they weren't the enemy. Sorry Greg, but you are full of shite. While they may have been winning, they campaigned with one message but then served in complete rejection of that message and were , as a result, useless as teats on a boar hog. They indeed, either are the enemy, or might as well have been.

The country is hanging in the balance by a thread -- but tut tut tut, somebody said a dirty word! Oh dear, I'm clutching my pearls.

This is the opening scene of the coming revolution, Greg. Americans are sick and tired of establishment elitists ruining the nation, no matter what their party designation or stated conservative values are.
The Tea Party movement was the first clue that you obviously missed.
