Quick Note – It’s Not the “Base” Opposing Donald Trump…

Just want to point out something simple, yet seemingly getting lost in the chatter.

It is not the “conservative base”, the grassroots or the average Joe or Jane from Main Street USA who are currently digging in their opposition to Donald Trump.  The base, the middle class, is entirely behind Trump.



The oppositional forces are the entrenched political class, the establishment, the elites and those who financially benefit from the DC status quo.  This group includes the professional punditry and chattering class who associate with the DC confabs.

Voices who assign divergent attributes are entirely gaslighting their audience.  Believe your own eyes and break the cycle of Battered Conservative Syndrome.

Actually it is some from the base and some from the GOPe.   I'm the base... and I'm #nevertrump.

Sorry, a plurality of GOP voters is not "the base."  More voted against Trump than voted for him.

Get used to that.  You'll see it again in November.

Much more voted against all the other 16 then voted for them including Cruz.

The fact remains that Trump is sucking hind tit on "the base."  40% is not a majority, last I looked.

And, the way he's proceeded the last three days, he's driving away more than he's attracting.

That Russian lobbyist Manafort needs to put a muzzle on Trump.  He's on a Twitter tear against Elizabeth Warren.

Very presidential.  I think these Dems are baiting him.  And he's taking the bait.

The base is the common sense middle not the extremists on the left and right.

40 percent out of 16 is dam good better than anything Cruz or anybody else got. You do not have a legit talking point.
