My experience has been ‘upper level’ GOP operatives have no idea how many people are angry about immigration. I honestly believe that is driving a significant amount of Trump support.
I don’t that’s the case at all. The Party is actually in great shape when measuring elective office. We have good margins at every level from Senate and House down to the state houses.
Trump is succeeding for one simple reason. The political class has been such a massive failure for the past 10+ years that many voters are simply tuning them out. It’s why Cruz, Trump and Carson have utterly dominated the primaries. WELL over half the voters are rejecting every political class option, and that includes Rubio, Paul and Christie who at times were each darlings of the base voters. Voters have tried everything to stop the BS, and nothing has even slowed down. Trump is outside the system and at the same time a master of media. He has simply dominated the discussion from his first day in the race and voters are ignoring the party smart people.
Hypocrisy, duplicity and syncretism are killing us.
I assume you mean social issues? Baby killing and gay marriage?
Really? Federal judges have imposed a godless morality upon the nation and the elites in Washington jumped into the filth with both feet.
Remember when Pres. Clinton taught our children that oral sex wasn't sex at all?
Imo, this anon dude is just vomiting up the usual excuses generated by the viche GOP.
And that’s the problem. A huge portion of the actual conservative US citizenry has bailed on the GOP because the GOP is nothing but a bunch of bent spined moral cowards kowtowing to the destructionist left.
The current GOP stands for nothing. They simply sit down and comply with whatever demands made by the DNC. All opposition to the left is merely shadow play like that moronic “government shut down” bullcrap.
The GOP has been earning this implosion for decades.
Hogwash.
The voters gave the GOP a mandate in 2014 to dismantle Obamacare and stop the rapid movement of the country to the left.
Within a week of the newly elected GOP congress taking office, it was announced that the GOP would not use it’s power to control the budget to eliminate Obamacare. Then illegal immigration was pseudo-legalized, the horrible Iran “deal” and the budget that was just passed.
The voters are kicking the old guard out. Only Trump and Cruz have demonstrated a willingness to follow through.
This is the take of a liberal-tarian. The GOP has been leftist socially for a long time. It’s been corporate welfare for a long, long time. It’s been anti-American middle class globalist for a longer time.
It’s dead, Jim. Liberal-tarianism is dead. It’s an economic Darwinian banshee with a atheistic/satanist social knife in it’s fist.
Global liberal-tarianism blew it’s wad. It’s over.
