The GOP is in a mess because the “leadership” refuses to become the working class party. The just can’t do it. Most Republicans in “leadership” hate peons that work for a living or earn a paycheck. Oh if you run a small (minded) business or drink beer while humping a tractor all day long you are loved by them.
Yes I agree, establishment GOPe is definitely reluctant to take on the concerns of the working class for fear of losing their big money donors.
