The difference between Sununu and most conservative pundits is that he is honest about his cluelessness. For several months, night after night, conservative talking heads have been bashing Trump, dismissing him as if he were a carnival freak. Oh, yes, they readily concede, he may be able to whip up the masses, but he cannot engage them for the long fight. That they look increasingly silly cannot be denied.
The fundamental problem with conservative critics of Trump is their class bias. They don't understand the working class. Sheltered in prep schools and Ivy League institutions, their world is one where ideas count, and not much else. They don't understand the visceral appeal of someone like Trump.

It’s not conservatives who are the snobs, but most Republicans.
I am a blue collar bum and I get it.
I dont like glad handing goombahs
The “conservative” pundits and movers and shakers in the GOP oppose Trump because they are paid by to keep The Cheap Labor Express running.
They don’t care that the citizens want the flooding of their country with foreigners to stop.
Their job has been to propagandize.
And we’re so sick of all the political correctness. We need someone calling it like it is.
Illegals = illegals. There is no need to spin that.
Politicians have failed us. We’re sick of them.
Both parties are run by elites... but liberal elites are worse.
Trump is PT Barnum and he makes a living on carnival bums.
Bernie says he will give me a heater and a comfy room and charge it to the rubes LOL

Conservatives, whatever that means, have failed the country in the last 10 years at least. Things are in shambles and it seems that all they can do is scream that conservatism will save the day and nothing else. Meanwhile things keep getting worse and worse. Conservatism is a paper tiger. You have to get something done. Trump is shaking everything to pieces and getting something done.
There are some big lessons here for conservatives if they weren’t too snobby to listen.
So true.
But it did with Trump supporters

The elire GOPe/Neocon overseers of the Faux Conservative plantation are in full panic as they continue to lose control of American voters. These overseers keep trying to trick/betray/control us to stay on/in their faux conservative plantations by selecting their ilk as our candidates.
In NH, Trump and his voters ignored them. His voters then voted big time for Trump. They won and broke the rules of the plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH. This is panicking our former neocon GOPe masters of the faux conservative plantations and their ilk, the Club for Growth.
It is wonderful to see this decades old, long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. This corrupted system hates working Americans. It rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers slaving in the faux conservative plantation.
We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate, instead of the GOPe elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.
There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar may be happening with the DEMes.
Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, The Club for Growth, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.
We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations. We are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.
We will vote for Trump and destroy them!
The snobbish, privileged bastards are about to get a real education and awakening should Trump be elected POTUS. We, The “little people” are pissed and mad as hell. It is time to let them know why.
Most conservatives are snobs. In fact, Rush talked about this. The conservatives in Washington who write the columns and provide analysis in the news shows. They articulate conservatism but never put it to practice or advocate Republicans to do the same. Republicans who do so get denigrated.
The GOPe of today reminds me of the sell out hack in the movie, “They Live”.
I’m now fully understand the immortal words of Khrushchev on this.
He gets it.
Rush said a few days ago that for those at the top of the political game, it has always been about money and power and nothing else.
Conservatives at the top of this game are no different. For them it is all about money and power and that is why conservatism is failing. It is not about positive change for the country. It is about preserving conservatives’ money and power.
Can I have a big Amen!
I assume you're a conservative "blue collar bum". What the GOPe doesn't understand is this: Not only is Trump winning over you guys, he's winning over the blue collar Democrats. Those are the folks who were once labeled "Reagan Democrats".
Trump appeals to those folks. Cruz simply does not.
I’ve watched Trump in action long enough now that I think I can distill the “Trump Factor” into three simple things:
1. Trump identifies the issues that average people think are most important to their lives, their success, their future.
2. Trump names the enemy. He doesn’t mince words or worry about political correctness. He talks the way regular Americans talk, and he doesn’t lecture or act condescending.
3. Trump puts forth simple, understandable solutions that make sense and that people want to see implemented. They know that he has the ability to translate these ideas into action by virtue of his track record without having him explain all the wonky details and specifics.
In addition, Trump has what Rush correctly called “a showman’s instinct” that others might call “persona” or “charisma”, which he uses to present his ideas in a persuasive way.
