I don’t believe this stuff. You can’t claim that the “GOPe” is a bunch of incompetent, bumbling fools in one breath, then claim that they are masters of cunning and deceit in another. That’s cognitive dissonance.

How do you think we ended up with McCain in 2008, especially after his campaign had all but collapsed & run out of money early in the process? Suddenly he was the last man standing, and no one could figure out why.

The above referenced article doesn’t portray the GOPe as ‘a bunch of incompetent, bumbling fools’. Far from it. They know exactly what they are doing. Trump has disrupted their plans for the moment and they are scrambling. Their ultimate goal is to isolate and marginalize the ‘conservative’ wing of the red party. You may occasionally elect a ‘conservative champion’ but the party’s goal is to render them ineffective. Let them talk and carry on but neuter them in terms of actual. meaningful legislation.

Most of the time, people say the GOPe is incompetent as a way of being nice. You only have to look at the open primaries etc. to know that they are utterly corrupt.

Voters think in 2015 that they are incompetent, bumbling fools because the voters clearly sent them an urgent message in Nov. 2014, and they have totally ignored it.

Voters also think they are incompetent, bumbling fools because they keep foisting worthless candidates such as Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney on us.

What puzzles voters is why do they insist on nominating losers that can't possibly win?

Then one realizes that Politicians don't play by the same rules as their voters. They have millions of dollars in personal fortunes and also their absolute power to protect from any staus quo disruptions threatening their fortunes and power. Thus, they connive and conceive of plans to secure their fortunes and power while also appearing as incompetent and bumbling with no power to do anything without the voters continued support to give them more power and money.

Look how much they have stood by and let Idi Obama get away with. Disgusting more and more voters who then have no other place to vent their anger except to keep voting not for them, but against the other guys in disgust.

Be interesting to see how much money has been recently poured into Ben Carson's campaign to disrupt/split the phenomenal disgust/contempt that Donald Trump has tapped into with his outsider campaign.

The GOPe knows exactly what they are doing: lie to the voters and then claims they are unable to keep their promises because they don’t have the votes. Except they find enough votes to please their big donors.

Actually it is perfectly consistent. Viewed from 30,000 feet, you can see it all very clearly. The end game is POWER. Get it, keep it and use it by whatever means necessary. So, while the GOPe IMPERSONATE a “bunch of incompetent, bumbling fools”, their eye is the power. Step One, GET the power.

They have consistently fooled the base with promises of things that will change and nothing changes. They suck our money and our votes, telling us to hold our collective noses. What they really want is someone will not upset the apple cart, so that they can KEEP their power.

We know all too well what they USE the power for. Amnesty, Israel sellout, government dependency, ad nauseum.

Keep your money. Keep your votes. Bring them to their knees.
