Millions of us are strangers in our own party. No, this is not because of Donald Trump’s victories over the past few months, although it is certainly a reflection of them. It is because the media has succeeded in helping reelect every single RINO incumbent in every election cycle and most open races, including in this much-vaunted year of the outsider. The system is rigged, but not in the way Donald Trump claims; he is the recipient of the rigged system. It is rigged because anyone who is truly a smart and principled conservative will be destroyed in a primary – either overpowered by the media or the superior power, money or fame of the non-conservative candidate who almost always runs as a conservative outsider as well. Almost two years ago, my friend Chris McDaniel, a man I helped recruit to run against Thad Cochran – a political fossil who needs no introduction to our readers – delivered a speech on the night he lost the runoff in which he declared, “there are millions of people that feel like strangers in their own party.” [Watch the full speech here] That was long before Donald Trump or Ted Cruz mattered. That was at a time when the Republican primary voters agreed with us on every issue, but the media and the establishment were able to successfully smear every last conservative candidate, allowing the political class to sweep every Senate race and every House race sans Dave Brat’s upset against Eric Cantor. ....We are strangers in our own party – not because the voters don’t agree with us on the issues – but because those who disagree with us in private have the power to manipulate the electorate in public every time...- See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/05/millions-of-us-are-strangers-in-our-own-party#sthash.aVgFQm6L.dpuf
