My guess is one based on culture...
the elites are NOT conservative, not pro-life, not gun owners, have illegal alien maids and gardeners but they love their power (as much as the lib dims)...and for that are willing to “put up” with conservatives, throw them a bone, tell them what they want to hear during the primary and then shove them in a corner until next election...case in point: George W. Bush and pro-life...he could never be bothered to show up only a stone’s throw away from the white house at a March For Life - in eight years, couldn’t be bothered - it says a lot.
And massive numbers of illegal employees whom they use to break wages. They've been playing that game ever since J.P. Morgan got his first corner office.
In fact, Morgan and others built the Titanic and her massive sisters as immigrant-conveyors, to bring up to 70,000 new (third-class) immigrants per year to the New World, to fill up Morgan's railroad land-grant countryside out West.
