I feel Fox News, the AM radio talking heads, and the failure of "journalists" calling out their bullshit is the cause of Trump and his current popularity.

Trump gives them an outlet and permission to say what they've been thinking for so very long.

Bet the establishment really love that birther bullshit.

Did you hear Ken Blackwell stating clearly that they don't intend to allow any of the three to have 1237 - they intend to stop Trump.

except maybe in a PR sense. None of their candidates, or even their potential candidates can beat Hillary or Bernie.

If they do go contested convention and nominate some random asshole, they'll lose their bases.
