The Politico headline practically jumps off the screen:
“GOP Insiders to Trump: Enough Already.”
To which I respond:
“Earth to Politico: Nobody Cares About These Insiders!”
It’s not that I want to pick on Politico. It’s just that if there’s anyone who has completely misjudged this campaign cycle, it’s political insiders.
And media insiders. Who are sometimes indistinguishable, since they often appear on the same shows.
Together, they mocked and minimized Donald Trump as a sideshow. Among the worst offenders is the Huffington Post, which still refuses to end its little stunt of putting Trump stories in the entertainment section, with one writer calling him a “fringe candidate” (who happens to be the Republican presidential front-runner).
As Trump soared, the insiders soon shifted their stance to one of bemusement: Well, he’s hot now, but he’ll burn himself out. Always happens. We’ve seen that movie.
And now that Trump is drawing 30,000 people to an Alabama rally and beating Jeb and Marco in their home state of Florida? Well, say the insiders, thoughtfully stroking their chins, he’s tapped into a deep vein of anger. We have to figure out how to connect with that anger, and we’ll be fine.
That’s progress, I guess, but they’re still kind of clueless. Conservatives in particular are furious that Trump, with his ideologically checkered background, is whipping their candidates, at least for now.
So Politico surveyed its insider “caucus” in Iowa and New Hampshire and found that seven in 10 Republicans say they’re heard more than enough about Trump’s immigration plan. The insiders are identified in tiny type at the bottom of the piece but granted anonymity so they can provide juicy quotes.
Said one Iowa Republican: “He’s solidly put an anchor around the neck of our party, and we’ll sink because of it.”

Yes.
Exactly. I don’t get the point that other Freeper was trying to make. Just weird.
I stopped watching FNC during the latter part of GWB's first term.
Yup
voll Hoffnung schon Millionen?
Still works.
——they’re {’ve} heard more than enough about Trump’s immigration plan.——
Which is the plan because the next topic to bewilder and befuddle and generally piss off the insiders will be the tax plan and then the defense plan and then in time for the primary election the health care plan. All will have trusted conservative advisors signing off.
It’s going to be hell to pay
Good. Someone needs to shake them out of their stupor.
Maybe the GOP needs to go the way of the Whigs, the Federalists, and others. Maybe we need a new party to speak for the American people. Maybe the RINOs need to be purged and a New Republican party formed out of the wreckage of the shattered GOP. Drop the Vichy-Republican Elites and go for the real people! We have the power not a few east coast aristocrats. Maybe we need a Trump Revolution!
That is a definite!
If the Republican “Insiders” know how to win, why do they always lose?
If they believe anything they say about government and policy, why do they lie down for the Democrats?
Inside each Republican “Insider” is a place where they store their soul. Look in there. They are all empty.
If you have Periscope, Trump’s campaign person is on...with comments coming in from all across the country. I don’t know how to use periscope app :(
