The Republican elite establishment is isolating themselves from their electorate
I have watched with
great interest as the Republican establishment isolated itself from the choice
of Republican primary voters.
They say we hear the message.
The people are angry. They feel disenfranchised. They are fed up with Washington,
and they say we get it; however, their actions tell a different story.
The Bushes in mass are
boycotting the Republican National convention as it nominates Donald Trump.
Probably because Trump called out the younger Bush, made him look like the
political lightweight he is and trounced him in his home state.
Romney who has always
fashioned himself as something special, denounced Trump right upfront almost
crossing his own moral line. Senators and members of the House had “other things”
to do instead of showing up at their party’s convention to nominate their
candidate for president.
Trump they say is a phony,
too dangerous to be president, too unpredictable, too brash and the list goes
on. Like the kid on the playground, the Republican old guard is taking their
ball and going home.
They are staying away
from the convention, saying they cannot support Trump, and that he doesn’t
represent the values of the Republican Party. Are there any real Republican values
left?
The problem is the
Republican establishment wants to maintain the status quo and Trump does not
fit in the mold.
Are you put off by Trump and his campaign, or are you put
off by the Republican establishment?
As Republicans we will have some really big decisions to
make.
Do we support the political establishment or do we
recognize that the Republican Party must change?
