The Trump Effect

With Boehner on his way out now pressure is being applied to oust Mitch McConnell.

You have to wonder if this is the result of the rejection of conservative voters to the current crop of squishy RINOs being offered by the RNC.
Could it be that the republican elitist jack-holes are finally getting the message?

Under pressure: McConnell pushed to resign as Senate Majority Leader

With John Boehner now departing as House speaker, an influential Republican Party official is now seeking the ouster of another GOP leader who has frustrated conservatives: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“McConnell needs to resign!!” Louisiana GOP Chairman Roger Villere wrote in a Facebook posting.

Mr. Villere isn’t just any Republican. He’s the longest-serving state GOP chairman in the nation, with 12 years on the job, and is the vice chairman of the Republican National Committee, the GOP’s national governing body. He also serves on the RNC’s executive committee that makes decisions alongside Chairman Reince Priebus.   

“Mitch is a good and honorable guy, but the base is leaving our party,” Mr. Villere said in an interview with The Washington Times. “I’m out in the field all the time and we have all our elections this year for state offices, and it’s hurting us tremendously with our elections.” 

Aides for Mr. McConnell, Kentucky Republican, did not return repeated calls and emails seeking comment. A spokeswoman for Mr. Priebus said he was unavailable Sunday.~snip~

I doubt if it'll be in time to save the RNCs preferred  candidate Jeb or for them to retool this election cycle with more worthy candidates but McConnell resigning could be a sign that the republican party would be one that might represent the people.
Instead of the elites single quest for power.

Why is Trump in the Lead

There's a lot of republicans out there that are pretty upset that the Donald is leading the GOP field and gosh darn it they can't figure out why.

POLL: TRUMP WITH 7 POINT LEAD OVER GOP FIELD

Donald Trump is number one in a new nationwide poll from Quinnipiac University, with a seven-percentage point lead over all other GOP presidential candidates. Trump took 20 percent in the poll, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker comes in second with 13 percent. 

The third candidate according to the poll is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 10 percent. 

All other GOP presidential candidates come in under double digits.~snip~

I don't suppose that it hasn't occurred to the RINOs that we've heard them all before. They say, "just elect us and things will change".
Well we did and things haven't changed, In spite of polls and pretty consistent opposition they still try and sell the "comprehensive immigration reform" which pretty much guarantees amnesty but no border enforcement.
They promised to repeal or defund Obamacare and guess what?
Trump is leading the polls because the base doesn't believe republicans anymore and as much as they think they need to appeal to "minorities" they are doomed with their base.
The idiot RINOs are squandering a great opportunity, all they have to do is let Trump throw issues at the wall and see what sticks. They don't have to attack him because the commie/leftist media will do that.
Then they just fold those issues into their campaigns because they know that those issues resonate with their base.
But no.......they gotta pander to a leftist media and others who don't like them anyway in order to try and become "mainstream".

For republicans to become like democrats is just a losing strategy and I'm tired of selecting the less of 2 evils and holding my nose when I vote.
