But the biggest laugh is watching the right’s most ideological and angry embrace the party’s least ideological candidate since forever.

Gutfield is ignoring the whale in the aquarium. The conservative base has gotten a middle finger salute from the GOP for at least the last 8 years, and many conservatives see that track record going much further back.

So, the base's ideological base is now basically pissed off. And the base has decided that the GOP is willfully lying to them, that the party has no intention to fulfill any conservative promises, and that a non-ideological firebrand that has a track record of doing what he says (albeit not in politics) is worth blowing up the GOP.

Because blowing up the GOPe has become a conservative ideal.

I’m not a Conservative anymore, I am not Republican anymore. What I am is a cynical, vindictive asshole and I want it all destroyed. Start over, If Trump is the man then so be it.
