It happens once a generation(between 30 and 40 years apart). The elites seek a point of equilibrium where they work together against their people. This happens when there is not a real difference between them(think Bush and Clinton). This is an “era of good feeling”. The original era of good feeling occurred during the Monroe administration. The resulting rebellion was the Jacksonian one. It was a complete shift against the apparatus put into place by the founding fathers. Whigs and Democrats became hard to separate in the 1850’s so the entire system blew up again. The next era of good feeling came in the 1990’s when the elites again were blown away by the populists and the progressives. Then again Hoover and Smith seemed to agree to much in 1928 and e resulting upheaval changed the guards in both parties with the “Catholic Bosses” and the Dewey, Warren, Brownell wing taking over the GOP. By the time of Kennedy and Nixon there was again little differences an we “heard a choice not an echo” The Goldwater revolt took the establishment out again and the Dem “Catholic bosses” fell to lib gentries later. Now we have the Bush and Clinton era where there is little differences and the elites have learned to work together again. And what happens? The lib gentries were blown away by the radical left and the Republican establishment is being blown away by Trump , Cruz, Paul etc.
The Dems give way to a completely different group when this happens. In the Republican world the country clubbers loose control and always seem to come back in control later on. They never learn do they?
"as corrupted" would be more like it.
I will never again listen to a word spoken by the Establishment Repubs. and believe any of it. Their actions in the Miss. Senate race was below snake crap. They made promises for years what they would do once in Majority.
They spit in our faces after given that Majority
90+ Million Americans unemployed and they continue to allow an invasion of illegal parasites and low skilled workers. Fact is the true Unemployment rate in America is north of 22%.If the crying cheeto and the post turtle beat the left with those figures and tell the Public they are putting you out of work the pressure would force Action. But that won’t happen because everyone knows the RINOS are paid whores for The Chamber and big business to keep wages low
Now the little Bastard Rand Paul has accepted the roll as attack dog for the Washington Cartel.
Today he started running ads for them attacking Trump
Make no mistake this little turd is McConnell’s
Bitch. He made his bed aligning with him in the Kentucky Primary and supporting the RINO dirty tricks in Mississippi
FURP
I would add Cruz to the list of outsiders. I doubt he gets very many invitations to attend big-donor galas either.
And they did it through the ‘advisers’, where at least half of them (it seems) are gay, or unwilling to disclose their personal life, but look gay.
There’s nothing wrong with having a gay ‘adviser’ around, as they represent some voters and perhaps can protect you against stepping in it with that bunch (who knows...I’m trying to be generous here).
But when your KEY ADVISERS, at least half, out themselves and state that they flat-out support gay marriage, then WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? And the two questions to ask are why do Republicans INSIST on keeping them around, and are they a 5th column. The second one is easy to answer - but the first one makes no sense, you’d think they want to win once in a while.
Insiders are #VichyRepublicans
They are between a rock, and a hard place on that. The way I see it for Republicans is, they have a small window to make a stand immediately following an election. They will get hammered by the press and the Democrats, but the the hysteria will subside, and give them talking points for the next election. This time they used that period to ram Cromnibus down our throats, and fully fund Obama’s amnesty. The closer it gets to the 2016 election, the less they want to take a controversial stand. I understand their concerns, but I am sick and tired of being told to keep my powder dry. Give us a conservative presidential candidate, or give us Trump 3P.
Trump/Cruz 2016
As Teddy Roosevelt said in 1910:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
“Others think Republican voters will eventually coalesce around a more traditional GOP candidate — perhaps Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).”
Not this Republican voter. I’m done with the GOPe. And I don’t even care if hillary finishes off the country, because only an outsider like Trump would POTENTIALLY make a difference anyway. We already know that the Republican branch of the Uniparty hasn’t done one damn thing to stop one damn iota of the obama/progressive/kommie agenda. in fact, if one of the GOPe insiders is the nominee, i would be DELIGHTED to see them slaughtered in the general election as the GOP “base” they are so disdainful of turns their collective backs on the GOPe SOBs.
They always win, even when they "lose". They are part of the Uni Party.
Dumb and dumber don’t have two neurons to rub together combined.
I don’t want the establishment to get it. I want them hung for the treason they’ve already committed.
“Wouldn’t it be something if Mitch and John passed something- anything- conservative: to help the RINO presidential candidates by counteracting the anger at the establishment?”
Mitch and John have passed something, things like gas and hairballs.
Outsiders take over GOPUh huh. And who got that ball rolling? Cruz, Walker, Rubio, Perry or 11 others? NO. It was Trump and Trump alone. The others, other than Carson, are just phony hangers on or establishment stooges.
Bottom line is that the Republicans either accept the fact that the game has changed and start to deliver or they go the way of the Whigs and simply cease to exist. I no longer call myself a Republican - I call myself a “conservative,”. More and more of the Republican base is simply removing themselves from the Republican label.
The hell that's not the message- Obama is an Epic Failed President, Boehner is a Epic Failed Speaker, and McConnell is an Epic Failed Senate Majority Leader. And the GOPe is worthless, and abysmally stupid.
yeah...soooo...the TEA party....
Others think Republican voters will eventually coalesce around a more traditional GOP candidate
I think this is the election where they’re going to find out many of us will not accept anymore rinos and will stay home rather than vote for one.
FURP"
AMEN!
Boehner , McConnell and all the estabs need to retire and let someone with a spine take over .
...
They have plenty of spine when it comes to fighting Conservatives.
