Well, considering the cult they belong to believes its own press releases, lives in an echo chamber, and continues to think they are America's royalty, I would say they are about as deluded as the French Nobility prior to the storming of the Bastille.
It will require a tremendous majority to overcome the corruption and voter fraud in the system, so maybe they think they are 'safe' from being removed from power.
If they have been listening to the glowing economic reports (propaganda), etc., maybe they just don't believe people are as ticked off as they are.
Trump and Cruz are the two viable alternatives to bid'ness as usual on the Hill and in Gubmint.
It is possible to believe a lie so long that eventually, it becomes true. It’s called delusion.
Sadly, many liberals have succumbed to this .. and now they have to stand behind it or be called a phony, or worse, a flip-flopper.
And .. the GOP-e are just trying to protect their power .. having given it to the Dems .. which makes them a party to the lies.
I think it may all come crashing down upon them .. and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.
