Elite support matters because they have the ability to shape public opinion through endorsements, public criticism and other mean

Actually it is the exact opposite this time. With 60% of Republicans saying they are angry with the GOP leadership, "elite support" this year is the kiss of death.

I think the question the media should be bombarding GOP elites with is, will you support Trump if he wins the nomination. Because once we hit the general, the public is not so aware of GOPe antics. Is the GOPe willing to lose the Presidency to stop an outsider?

If so, we need to expose them now before their dirty deeds.
