Great article. The GOP leadership is not conservative, it is statist, ruling class, and elitist. They have achieved nothing conservative in 30 years, because their interests are not our interests.

They are allied with the democrat/communists in a uniparty.

It’s a good cop/bad cop set up. We get to vote for the good cop, but they are both going to put us in jail.

The author of the article and your comments hit the nail squarely on the head.

I have wondered all these years where the "conservative" candidates pushed forwarded by the GOPe were? McCain? NOT! Almost a member of the democRAT party at times. Romney? NOT! Author of RomneyCare in Mass. that was the blueprint for ObamaCare. These candidates were anything but conservative.

Besides, I don't think a pure conservative would ever get past the primaries, if that, given Cruz's failure to ignite. A far-right evangelical conservative would never be able to garner enough votes in the general election to win IMO.

Given that history, now they are upset that Trump has won and he is not conservative enough for them? I don't think so. They just don't want him in because he is not part of their insider club of elites. He'll upset their apple cart. He'll slow or stop their gravy train. Simply put, they don't want Trump because he is not one of "them".
