Rush seems to believe that "The Establishment" is a cadre of people that influence and steer the government. Is this "fantasy" on his part? I've posted commentary from four other people, including Richard Fernandez.
Are all these people fantasizing about this group of influential people?
Sure, of course.
And it's often claimed they are both Republicans & Democrats, but I say 90% are really Democrats, regardless of what they claim to be.
Democrats rule and, with some exceptions, nearly always have.
It's part of what makes Republicans so meek & humble, brown-nosing *ss kissers over-eager to please their Democrat masters, even when Democrats are officially the minority!
Republicans are afraid of themselves and their own ideals.
They bend over backwards to make Democrats like them, and the result is what you'd expect.
But you, DiogenesLamp, want to localize it to a Washington-New York corridor, and that's just nuts, especially in this day & age when geography is less important than ever in history.
In truth, it has almost nothing to do with where people live, but lots to do with how they live.
