The political consultant class is the problem... and they service both parties. That they would unite against Trump is a given... and with them all the folks they hire...
When competent people like Trump run on their own they become a threat to the “Mike Murphy’s” of the world. Jeb was a sad but willing victim of the Establishment Consultant system. The consultant class is giving us milquetoast politicians who can’t DO anything...
How did this happen?
The consultant class ‘interviews’ people they’re willing ‘to allow to hire them’. Yes, that seems strange, but they aren’t willing to let just anyone hire them. They’re in this for the money and power - and THEY have requirement.
Consultants want ‘likable’ types who will listen to them and DO what they say. Someone who won’t give them a hard time about spending money for useless ads - a “jeb” type. Jeb’s the ideal type for a consultant firm... malleable, sweet, listens to the consultant rather than to his own heart and is willing to SPEND A BUNDLE.
The reason our elected people are so lame is BECAUSE the consultant class is choosing them NOT for what they can do for the United States, but for how easy they are to manipulate.
The consultant class ARE the enemy - they’re the rulers of the Establishments of both parties. AND they won’t go gentle into that good night... They’ll destroy Trump if they can... their corrupt jobs depend on the incentives from hell and phony ‘leaders’ that can’t lead... Trump has his work cut out for him...
What you post has merit, but the biggest problem to me is liberalism, regardless of what class it come from.
I’m not as confident as you that Trump isn’t or won’t become the establishment class.
It has been my observation over the past several election cycles that pollsters are doing more manipulation than observation in their questions.
Excellent post!
