Key paragraphs:

The problem isn’t that the Republican voters aren’t conservative anymore. They simply don’t believe in the agents of conservatism they have entrusted with power.

They’re now finally rejecting them as weak and ineffective, not to mention obnoxious and increasingly nasty to their own voters.

Exactly. I would add that the GOPe agents of conservatism are also perceived, certainly by me, as complicit with the socialist democrat leaders in furthering the goals of the anti American left.

They simply don't believe in the agents of conservatism they have entrusted with power.

Needs to be said a few million more times.
