Tooth-Gnashing in the Republican Establishment

“The establishment needs to stop patronizing the grass-roots and listen to their concerns.”

And their candidates too for that matter.

It’d be hilarious if the RNC put on a debate and none of the candidates showed up except the attention whores like Graham and Jidal.

[[The Republicans have the House and the Senate, more Republican Governors,]]

But not really enough in senate to get majority needed for wins really- even if they do rarely get a win, dear leader waves his veto pen

Right now he does, wimpy does things because he’s not American....look ahead...Trump won’t do that, he won’t have to....

Watch the elections, people are weeding RINOs out...GOPe is gone, just like Jeb....

From the article:

In contrast, the Republicans have fielded a number of experienced and competent candidates. In terms of "diversity," the field that includes Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, and Marco Rubio "looks more like America" than does the Democratic field, which is made up of monotonously geriatric white people. Not one of them is an outsider; not one is under 50.

Two items of note here: First, VDH makes no mention of the person who has been leading in the polls since mid-summer. Of course, if he did, he'd have to remove the last sentence. Second, in his list of candidates there's no mention of Yeb Bush.

Democratic field: old white liberal elites... really old liberal elite.

Even young white women can’t stand Hillary.
