The general theme of this article is correct. The GOP leadership has not understood its base for over 2 generations...

The only way Trump loses support is if he is viewed as no longer putting America First....

Trump is and always has been the only one who can stop Trump.

No, you’re wrong; its not that the Party hierarchy has misunderstood its base, but that they have actively despised the base. McCain, Bush Sr. and Jr. and to a lesser extent, Romney would say whatever they needed to in order to be accepted in the Democratic salons (Bob Dole was a fine exception to this rule - he was hated and couldn’t care less). To this day, I still have liberal friends who love Bush Sr. - why? Because he was totally ineffective, appointed the skunk David Souter to the Court, dissed the base except at election time, and in private assured them that he was not one of “those people” who were the only ones who stuck with him at election time (and only because of the nature of his opponent and the fact that he had been Reagan’s VP, no matter how later disloyal to his policies). Have you ever heard McCain, Romney or the execrable Bushes tear into a Dem the same way they go after Trump or his base? Never.

The GOP has played ‘go along to get along’ for too many years & has allowed too many laws to pull us down.

We finally have a knight on a white horse.

NOT letting him go.
