So let me get this straight. The writer didn’t feel like a stranger in their own party when the party nominated John McCain or Mitt Romney, but they do feel like a stranger now. That’s interesting that they purport to speak for conservatives.
I have felt like a stranger since 1992.
“They” are the strangers in OUR party. Now fully exposed. Thank you Trump.
Two things.
1. The writer never mentions McCain or Romney, and if you are referring to the timing of the statement, well, see #2.
2. If you had read the article you would know that the quote was from Chris McDaniel in 2014 when he lost against Thad Cochran. If you look at a calendar, you might notice that 2014 comes after both 2012 and 2008.
from the Article;
Almost two years ago, my friend Chris McDaniel, a man I helped recruit to run against Thad Cochran – a political fossil who needs no introduction to our readers – delivered a speech on the night he lost the runoff in which he declared, “there are millions of people that feel like strangers in their own party.”
