When insurgents attack and a group of people, some are thinking...wow, what happened? What did WE do to trigger this? We have a similar analogy with the GOPe. What did WE do to set off the insurgents (Trump and other 'outsiders')?

Except in this case, the GOPe sent many so-called conservatives to Congress, then they folded like a cheap tent and/or incumbent Republicans did not support them - or even attacked them. Leadership caved (Boehner, McConnell, and recently Ryan) to Obama, Reid, and Pelosi. The people revolted and attacked the GOPe via the TEA Party and the Trump Tidalwave.

But, the GOPe refuse to answer the issue of “Hey, what did WE do to trigger this?”. The GOPe needs some introspection - a concept which they absolutely cannot grasp. They are genetically incapable of understanding the anger of "the great unwashed" whom they failed.

Trump is a symptom, not the illness.

Romney was - and still is - a dismal failure, not a just-in-time GOPe Super Hero.

If Romney had attacked Obama then like he is attacking Trump now, things may have been different.

Yes, he and Mccain can suck it.

You are so right. He disenfranchised his own voter base, let Candy and other moderators OWN HIM. Never counterpunched Obama, it was maddening to see at the time.

But now, the loser goes on the attack against a Republican while Hillary the criminal smiles on the sidelines..
