Trump supporters are angry at being told by GOP functionaries and/or moneyed interests how they should vote in the Presidential primary elections.
The New York Times has the story at Rank and File Republicans Tell Party Elites: We’re Sticking With Donald Trump.
The establishment GOP seems to have totally miscalculated and misjudged the current political situation, acting like paternalists rather than savvy politicians who should know better.
The more that so-called party “elites” have challenged Trump for being an outsider, the stronger he has gotten to be. We posted about this development before at LawPundit. Just sayin’.
The self-thinking man on the street in America is not about to be told how to vote by a political Party machine, be that machine the Democrats or the Republicans.
That’s democracy. That is the way it is supposed to be. The PEOPLE decide.
Many people seem to be fed up with the failures of the established parties.
Instead, they have chosen their “champion” in the person of Donald Trump.
To see why (or, depending on your political allegiance, why not),
see e.g. his Wichita Rally speech.
Frankly, none of the other candidates of either political party, except for Bernie Sanders, who has surprised us by the quality of his speeches, speaks that well.
We were impressed by Trump’s take that much of what we call “politics” in this world is actually simply “business” among States or nations, and yet in the USA we permit that business to be conducted by “political” amateurs rather than by experienced deal-making professionals.
The USA has made many bad political and economic deals domestically and internationally because American politicians functioning as deal-makers were not up to the task. It was never their expertise. Quite the contrary.
An example here is Democratic Party Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, who operated out of a private server in her home in the course of what might be called “kitchen diplomacy by a greenhorn” in the years that she held the position of Secretary of State of the USA.
We get the government we vote for.
