The simple fact is this - most Conservatives are going to vote against Hillary Clinton no matter what - and they do not want big government people lecturing them on who to vote for.
I know many here will say that they are not going to vote for ‘so-and-so’ - but most of us will support the party’s choice for nominee. So, I plan to vote for whomever becomes the nominee and I resent any movement which interferes with the votes of ordinary citizens who are ‘in fly-over country’.
I truly believe that folks in the Washington to NY to Boston corridor have no idea how insulting they are to the rest of us.
It is sort in the same vein as eastern USA folks thinking that we live where the Indians are still riding around on horses wearing their feathers in their headbands. hey really ought to get around a bit more.
Gumdrop - it is exactly that. They are insulting to the whole rest of the country, speaking down to us like we are idiots. It is exactly like the northeasterners thinking the Westerners are rubes. I find it infuriating. I will support Trump if it comes to that, and I like his leadership, but I prefer Cruz.
