This shit right here is why Trump is polling in the near 40's in a big ass republican field. Why? Hilary has 1 opponent. She's only a few points ahead on her side of the isle and she only has 1 opponent. Trump is polling at 39-41 and he's got so many opponents that they have to have two debates each time to hold them all. In a field this huge nearly 60% of the Republican polled are openly declared for the two guys who are telling the GOP to go fuck themselves.
I contend the problem isn't the base. The problem is the GOP. It should have been massively fucking evident during the Tea Party revolt. These shit heads aren't going to get it until some Trump or Cruz operative shows up to start picking out drapes for their offices.
Also, NPR took about 1.2 seconds to start running with this in every single news segment they could squeeze it into. What shit heal in a suit REALLY thought they were going to slip that by anyone?
