"What's that supposed to mean?"

To hear the patronizing wise men of the Republican Party tell it, anyone who would vote for Donald Trump for president must be deranged. "Trumpkins," they call them, mental midgets and xenophobic troglodytes who've crawled out from their survivalist caves in order to destroy the Beltway Establishment.
How their resentful attitude galls the crack cadres of campaign consultants who brought conservatives halfhearted standard-bearers like John McCain and Mitt Romney to do sham battle against Barack Obama in 2008 and '12, then return to the safety of the US Senate and a beachfront mansion in La Jolla.
The peasants are revolting!
And all on behalf of a bloviating billionaire whose conservatism and party loyalty are suspect.
Now, after months of whistling past the graveyard of Trump's seemingly inexorable rise and assuring themselves that his candidacy will collapse as voters come to their senses, a CNN poll released Wednesday showing Trump now lapping the field has the GOP establishment in full meltdown mode. The survey shows Trump with nearly 40% of the primary vote, trailed by Ted Cruz at 18%, Ben Carson and Marco Rubio tied at 10%, and the also-rans (including great GOP hope Jeb Bush) limping along far behind.
Their panic was best articulated last week in The Daily Beast by GOP consultant Rick Wilson, who wrote that Trump supporters "put the entire conservative movement at risk of being hijacked and destroyed by a bellowing billionaire with poor impulse control and a profoundly superficial understanding of the world . . . walking, talking comments sections of the fever swamp sites."

That’s ok, they’ll thank us later.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Good article, thank you.
LOL!
I don’t find that. some think he’s a little crazy. only one person I know hates him/his voters.
they’re screwed, the GOPe.
I’m for Cruz, then Trump, they hate both, and they’re first and second :)
goodbye bush. Trump, forget bush and finish off Rubio
Elites and media, but I repeat myself.
I don't hate them. I reserve hate for those who truly deserve to be hated. I do shake my head and wonder about them, though.
What are the media shills' FR nics?
PING!
God wonders about all of us.
The problem we Trump supporters have with many of the Cruz supporters is that they use the same belittling name calling as the establishment. Same talking points.
If it sounds like a duck.....
No more POLITICIANS. No more presidential candidates with absolutely no executive experience. (Freshmen senators.)
I’ll take someone who is an expert at making money over someone who has only spent other people’s money any day.
The GOPe would rather see Cankles win instead of Trump. The GOPe are parasites on society just like the democRATs and they both want their prey to hold still.
“they use the same belittling name calling as the establishment. Same talking points.”
BINGO!
“It’s also everyday people who really hate Trump’s voters/supporters too.”
Cruz supporters here too. It is weird - they are insulting and rude to us, exactly the same condescending attitude the Obama elites have.
Because ad-hominem attacks are the only thing they can use. Just like the left when faced with facts.
Just watch closely. If you go to DU (as long as you can stand it), you’ll see the exact same behavior.

That’s right.
“I’m for Cruz, then Trump, they hate both, and they’re first and second :)

If you’re for Cruz, have him finish off Rubio. He shouldn’t be having Trump do his dirty work if he is wanting a leadership position.
