This was quite well-written. I think the author could have added one more salient point: Voters on both sides of the aisle have actively begun trusting their parties to lead them astray, and therefore the voters stand in stark defiance of the advice given by the parties.
When you are continually lied to, eventually you start assuming that everything said is just another lie.
There is an interesting underlying subtext here. Up until this election, the media would laugh at any suggestion of an “establishment” or a “uniparty.” This was our belief, developed from election after election where republicans deliberately ignored voters, or actively worked against our interests.

I hate to say this but IMHO we are being played. Unless there a super winner from here on out the way its playing nobody will have enough to win the nomination outright with all the players still in the game. This will force a convention where back-room dealing and super-delegates can steal it for the one the GOPe wants.
