Perhaps the Republican leadership and its Establishment apparatus don’t realize just how dangerous is the game they’re playing against conservatives, or perhaps they just don’t care. There is a part of the GOP power structure that has always been most happy to serve as the permanent minority, personally enriched by serving as minor, ineffective obstacles to the ruling Left.
They win elections by cadging millions from conservatives desperate to Do Something about the mess in Washington, then sink comfortably into that mess as though relaxing in a jacuzzi, rousing themselves only to display true fury against the occasional cage-rattling, boat-rocking conservative insurgent.
There are always conservatives who denounce this state of affairs and pronounce themselves tired of serving as campaign-cash piggy banks for politicians who view them as far worse enemies than the Democrats, but in this election cycle, the “Let It Burn” caucus of disgusted, demoralized, and disengaged voters is particularly loud. I don’t think the Establishment understands just how bitter and dispirited their base has become....

Ted Cruz Ping! They have no idea how pissed the base is for one...second they are severely underestimating the support for Cruz and Trump, and how organized and motivated the Cruz supporters are. Cruz probably has the widest coalition across the country, and they already are mobilizing a massive amount of money to his campaign. GOP elites see the tsunami coming.
See my tagline...
Excellent article!

This is us! This is Free Republic right here, baby!
Believe one of them is named Trump?
Fascinating to see him savaged by the very beggars who dunned him for millions over the past 3 decades.
That's gotta be raising eyebrows everywhere.
Now wait just one minute here!
I thought that the GOP-e was only targeting Trump!
How could this be? /sarc

I don’t support Cruz at all. You can’t support an ineligible candidate.
Eww we got a live one here...a Cruz birther!
Hate to tell all of you this, but the Republican base is the same base as the Democrat base.
Conservatives are being regulated and litigated out of existence. We are no longer the base to anyone but ourselves.
And the sad part about it? We are the ones with the guns.
They’re so angry, some of them are mistaking Donald Trump for a conservative.
THAT’s angry.
Well, GOPe, if you haven’t to date sealed your fate with us, you have now.
Cruz!
Things like this is what birthed the Tea Party.
They are galvanizing the pissed off people.
GALVANIZED !
Build a new 3rd Independent Party within the Old GOP.
A fantastic sentence from the article:
The current front-runner, Donald Trump, is defined by his very loud willingness to tackle Establishment forces, especially the media, which works to set the stage for every presidential election by telling Republican voters which acceptable, genteel losers they’re allowed to support.
And Cruz will lead the way, I think people will be surprised at how many will go with him.
