Compare these reactions to the response to the Tea Party. To the left, the controlled and appropriately channeled anger of this group is a source of ridicule, vexation and regarded as wholly unacceptable. It is not uncommon to see references to the Tea Party in harsh and militaristic terms.
Case in point; the New York Times: “The stormy aftermath of Mississippi’s Republican Senate runoff has sent Tea Party conservatives around the country to the ramparts, raising the prospect of a prolonged battle that holds the potential to depress conservative turnout in November in Mississippi — and possibly beyond.”
Today the anger of the electorate, including honest liberals (yes, a few actually exist) has manifested into the rise of non-establishment candidates.
Donald Trump has channeled this anger into his (so far) successful run for the GOP nomination. The GOP establishment has failed to consider the advice of Confucius; “When anger rises, think of the consequences.”
Thus the well-justified anger has prevailed over the impotence of the “Never Trump” crowd.
Following is a shortened list of contributory factors of the once simmering, now boiling, anger:
• We thought that the Democrats supported African Americans and worked for their benefit, until we saw the “High Tech lynching” of Clarence Thomas.

This is why Donald J. Trump has been so successful as of late.
Boy...was I wrong.
Probably the best argument *for* Trump that I have come across.
Still doesn’t make me trust him though.
“We do have plenty to be angry about regarding the past 8 years (and more).”
Should not that read; “We do have plenty to be angry about regarding the past 28 years (and more). I think you might have accidentally dropped the 2 in 28.
:)
Ah, the told you so's of the prescient Pat Buchanan and his 92' convention speech continues, and you and I get it....
...add Cruz to that list.
Good summation. Perhaps we can add more, such as the Border Fence being AUTHORIZED by Congress in a lopsided vote and signed into law by Bush...and then quietly shelved by the GOPe.
Your trust matters not. Trump or the democratic nominee will in all probability be the next President pick one.
Trust Donald.
He’s an outsider.
He’s owned by no one.
He’s a brilliant businessman/CEO who knows how to GET THINGS DONE.
His associates/employees speak well of him. Not a one has really disparaged him.
HE IS AN AMERICAN WHO LOVES HIS COUNTRY.
He will be our candidate. We MUST make this the biggest Republican voter turn out in history- or it’s Hillary to finish destroying our America.
Those of us disappointed that our candidate dropped out, must put our anger aside, unite and VOTE.
Remember; the rats will cheat to get Hillary in. We MUST all get out the vote to try to counter this.
That is one of the best. I still hate Haley Barbour for stabbing Pat in the back.
Reagan was a reprieve, but even he wasn’t perfect. Hopefully President Trump will be training up future leadership for after his 8 years. And we need to sort out how it came to be that in our country only a billionaire can do what he’s doing.
That would be all of us...this election has been extremely revealing.
