Trump was the man for the time, But Trump did not lead anyone, he merely had the courage to walk to the front a large crowd moving in that direction. He can't change the course of that crowd - only organize and help intensify it ... and also lend the weak among that crowd some courage. But he never picked the direction.
Makes me laugh. They still think they were fooling us. Trump got what he needed and that old coot McConnell got what he deserved.
Fine outcome.
We Trump Supporters are NOT GOPe’s....so yes the RINO’s have lost their base just as the Jackasses have lost their Donkey party!!!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT PENCE WITH THE SUPPORTERS OF THE TRUMP BASE!!!
Trumps support might have mattered MUCH more if neither of the choices was well known. But everyone already knew who Roy Moore was and what he stood for, and a half hearted endorsement by Trump wasn’t going to chance their mind.
No you vile snakes. What you don't understand is that we see Moore as someone who is not susceptible to the Potomac Fever that seems to grip just about everyone we send to Washington DC. We are sick and tired of "our" representatives joining the other side against us, and we think Judge Moore is someone who will not do that.
After Mitch McConnell ran his racist attack ads against McDaniel in Mississippi, we figured out just exactly what sort of vermin we had "representing" us in Washington.
They need to be scared.
Political party “leaders” aren’t supposed to control the citizens who comprise its base.
They are supposed to represent the interests of the citizens.
They NEVER had CONTROL of their base! They once had our support but squandered that. Control? Sheesh!
They’re not supposed to control their base. They’re supposed to serve the interests of their base.
It would have been much more appropriate to have said, “GOP Leaders Have Squandered the Confidence of Their Base.”
People are fed up with politicians! Very low approval ratings. In such a situation it isn't the Party elites that control the people, it is the people/voters who are voting and supporting who they feel will best help them and their country.
Hillary didn't get it. Mark Rubia and Jeb Bush didn't get it.
Sanders and Trump got it.
Show of hands:
Who voted for these “leaders” this article refers to?
(LOL. “Leaders”)
We examine the issue and then decide what we feel in our best interest.
Now it is a sign that party bosses have lost control?
Were we that biddable?
Or was that just their delusion because we were sort of walking in the same direction?
Another way of looking at it is that the base has completely lost control of its leaders.
They ain’t seen nothing yet. Republicans will fail to pass meaningful tax reform and we will tear them a new one in the primaries.
While the GOP’s class of professional strategists = The K Street boys.
Hooray....
My take on matters is here:

They must think we are Democrats.
Hive minded liberals worship leaders, sovereign conservatives elect servants.
A clean establishment Republican probably would have beaten Moore, the stench of corruption was thick around Strange. No one shocked at the outcome but liberals and media losers.
In a representative, republican form of government, ‘leaders’ do not control their supporters, they represent them, and answer to them.
