To call it a "blind eye" infers the GOPe would have considered it a failure for Hillary to win the general.

The smartest people in the room are the most stupid.

They bring to mind Pauline Kael’s famous observation after Nixon’s 1972 landslide win: “I didn’t know any one who voted for him.”

The GOP elite probably doesn’t know any one who voted for Trump.

No one in their club would be in their right mind to vote for the vulgarian.

But in America, people have a completely different view.

They have not been turning a blind eye to the desire of the citizens to have the laws and borders enforced.

They have been actively working against us.

They have made sure we have had no one but an amnesty candidate since the last amnesty.

It was not accidental.

The most important thing to the RNC/GOP is preventing us from stopping The Cheap Labor Express.

They turned a blind eye way before Trump came on the scene.

I remember Trump going on Jimmy Fallon early on...Fallon would ask him some trollish question, and he would deem Trump’s response as so outrageous that he could hardly stay in his chair, due to laughing so loudly.

But Trump ignored that - and I could tell he was connecting with viewers like me.

To me it illustrates perfectly what the media, pundits, illuminati, whoever just don’t understand. They think he’s absurd...but it really just shows their disdain for the average American.

Here’s the bigger question— how could they have been so blind as to not even consider Trump was a serious player?
Utter idiots or just flat out in denial? Perhaps a combo of both.

Not just the Rep elites, here’s the words from the dem front: It’s time to stop pointing and laughing at the Republican primary. For all the GOP front-runner’s flaws, many veteran Democrats are beginning to conclude, Donald Trump is a canny operator who just might end up in the White House if they’re not careful.

He appears to be cracking the code with white working-class voters who could help him put blue Rust Belt states in play against Hillary Clinton. He’s helping to fuel record turnout in GOP primaries and he’s mastered the media like no candidate in recent memory, with his constant feeding of catnip to cable TV and his 140-character missiles on Twitter.

Republicans have gone crazy. Trump can not win the general election. Dump him.

The GOPe’s Lib-like elitism and snobbishness would not allow them to believe a rough character like Trump could ever best them.

The elites have only themselves to blame. They thought we weren’t watching them.

"Republican donors, strategists and campaign operatives interviewed by Reuters admitted they had misjudged the mood of voters who have thrown their support behind Trump"

Because they were preoccupied with attacking the "wacko bird" who was trying to get the message to them.
Even now they and the media agree that Cruz is a four letter word not to be used in polite society.
It will be interesting to see how Cruz avoids being sucked into the failed "Rubio Defense" of a spitting contest when Trump turns nasty and Ted finds himself inside the pincer.
