The Republican Party couldn’t care less about votes o voters, that much has been clear for years. They don’t care because there are only two parties, the coin flip odds tell them that as long as they can keep everyone else locked out of the process they will sometime, even if by accident, win. But the key is working with their brothers, the Democrats, to lock the people out of the process. They keep it a closed system the easy gigantic money flows in forever. Easiest millions ever made by the one group in society that gets to play legal bribery.
Revolutions must come from the outside and destroy what is on the inside. And most often that requires force. Trump’s error, if you will, was strategic - he tried a revolution from the inside, where the host’s defenses work to eject him. It is a rotten, depraved host, but it must be destroyed from the outside.
I'm not sure it's an error. By running for the nomination and becoming the front runner, Trump forced the GOPe to be openly corrupt. Otherwise, the GOPe would have been able to manipulate the process from behind the scenes. Bernie Sanders did the same thing with the DNC: he wins over a dozen States and each time Hillary gets at least as many delegates as him due to the Superdelegates. We should be grateful to Trump and Sanders for forcing the corruption out into the open.
