Could this be about the vice-president pick? Establishment dealing support (no third party) in return for Ryan in the VP slot.

I am getting the idea that “conservatism” does not work for conservatives. It only works for the Chamber of Commerce. Until that changes and until the border is secure and until the media stops smearing the rest of us and until the GOPE stops squandering so much of our money that we should oppose all tax cuts for business and wealthy and all business agenda legislation. That is quite a change for me as well as everyone else on this board. But, we have simply got to take back this country and put the elites on notice. It starts by telling the GOPE establishment not to stab us in the back and we mean it.

Ryan is young. Maybe in a few years... however if he angers too many rank and file conservatives, he won’t have a chance. I wonder if he has already destroyed his chances.

He may also lose his seat due to his current challenger - I bet he's looking at that with more concern than having Trump as President.....

He passed that bridge a few years back. He’s bought and paid for by the Chamber of Crony Capitalism, eh Commerce.

establishment simply means doing what you are told by lobbyists and big contributors. It’s good that Trump is going to get rid of these useless pols.

NPR is usually wrong about everything.... Trump comes in dead last.

That's because progressivs redefine words to the point that even leftist social scientists cannot understand their own data. They try to zero in on points like "appeal to blue collar workers" and then score Trump with a minus, while their talking heads claim that's they only group he appeals to. They are pathetic.

Who are they? The ‘establishment’ ?
Can we start a list? So we can star getting rid of them?
