Consider this:
- The establishment’s first choice was Jeb – who tacitly approved of how things are going, and promised almost no change. Their second choice, Rubio, is hardly better.
- Trump’s rise in popularity pretty much exactly corresponds to a rejection of that establishment, at the same time that the establishment openly fight against the tea party’s true reform.
- Many conservatives despise Trump. While he expresses anger at everything the establishment offers, his solutions aren’t the conservative ones they’ve been wanting this whole time.
If the party breaks up to a constitutional/libertarian party (option C), I think it’s the end of the GOP. But the election will go to Democrats if that happens.
