Its tough to argue with this point.
Mark Steyn appeared with Neil Cavuto last night to discuss the rise of Donald Trump above the professional political class within the Republican party. He said that its because the GOP base absolutely hates the current GOP leadership.
Rand Paul says this is temporary insanity on the part of whatever it is 20-something percent of the Republican base, Steyn said, speaking of Trumps support among GOP primary voters in the polls. I think it was Einstein who said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result.
And the base supported the Republican party establishment, delivered them a huge victory in 2010 in the House and a huge victory in the House and Senate in 2014 and got nothing to show for it, he continued. And theyre tired of being stiffed by the Republican party establishment. And I think Trumps rise in the polls reflects, I think, nothing more sophisticated than the fact that the voter base of the Republican party absolutely hates the Republican party leadership and establishment.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
