The professional media and political class view all of this as some exercise in ideological purity. This is especially true of those ensconced in their legacy secured private communities and lifestyles. Lacking real world experience they turn to the abstract battles of ideology where paper tigers are less formidable then in neighborhoods, communities and public spaces shared by an increasingly tense and fearful population.

Every simply daily encounter between white and black folks is now rippling with harsh negative overtones of nightly news stories. The reality of a nation out of control and about to explode permeates the mundane lives of “the little people.”

In the meantime career pols, the media and elites in general worry about abstractions like “conservatism.”

Yes Mr Bubble Boy Jeb, America needs strong leadership, but it is much more akin to what DJT is offering.

“The professional media and political class view all of this as some exercise in ideological purity.”

The professional media and political class want Clinton to win and want Washington to remain corrupt.

All these lies about Trump not being conservative is just cover to fool the people into not supporting Trump and allow slimy, lying politicians to say that they are following their conscience in supporting Clinton and opposing Trump.

Jeb took a pledge to support the Republican nominee. His word means nothing. His talk of conservatism means nothing.
We are lucky that he lost.
