Donald Trump soared to the top of the polls by having his finger on the pulse of voters.  People are seething with anger at the establishment in both parties.  The anger has been building up for a long time. Voters gave this country a Republican President, a Republican House and a Republican Senate and the results were pretty much business as usual.  Then voters gave the country a Democratic President, a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate.  The results were spectacularly bad.  In 2010 Republicans won back control of the House. Nothing changed.   In 2014 Republicans won back control of the Senate. Nothing changed. The Republican establishment continues to compromise with Democrats, terrified of what it considers to be the extremist views of the conservative movement. The cultured elite views conservative values as delusional and out of touch with reality.

Along came Donald Trump and he ventured where no man dared go before.  He stood up for conservative values without compromise.  He absolutely refused to be intimidated by political correctness.  He said things the establishment in both parties considered to be outrageous.  To the shock and horror of the Republican establishment, the more they attacked Trump the higher he rose in the polls.  The main stream media despises Trump, but they love the ratings they get from covering him.  Trump was probably on his way to winning the nomination and the Presidency.

But something changed overnight.  The Republican establishment suddenly realized this had become a two man race between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.  At that point, both the Republican establishment and Donald Trump showed their real colors.  The Republican establishment started to embrace Trump because they realized that they could make a deal with him. The Republican establishment does not like Donald Trump, but they absolutely fear Ted Cruz.

Trump quickly responded by welcoming their support.  It probably seemed like a good idea at the time.  But a funny thing happened on the way to the Forum.  To the shock of both Donald Trump and the Republican establishment; conservatives in this country actually believe in their principles and they decided enough was enough.  They are now in full revolt.

Leading conservatives joined together to speak with one voice to the “base.”  They are warning that Donald Trump is not a true conservative and that if he becomes the next President of the United States he will quickly morph from the “raging defender” to the “master of the deal.” The National Review devoted an entire article to exposing Donald Trump.

Trump responded by trashing the National Review.  That was predictable.  But this is much more than a single editorial from an irrelevant magazine.  The list of the conservative voices joining in the warning about Donald Trump is simply astonishing.

Glenn Beck, David Boaz, L. Brent Bozell III, Mona Charen, Ben Domenech, Erick Erickson, Steven F. Hayward, Mark Helprin, William Kristol, Yuyal Levin, Dana Loesch, Andrew C. McCarthy, David McIntosch, Michael Medved, Edwin Meese III, Russell Moore, Michael B. Mukasey, Katie Pavlich, John Podhoretz, R. R. Reno, Thomas Sowell, and Cal Thomas.

When you combine this with Rush Limbaugh commenting on how the Republican establishment has embraced Donald Trump this is nothing short of a seismic event.  If Donald Trump still wins the nomination after this, I believe that there will be a wholesale exodus of conservatives from the Republican Party.  I wouldn’t even rule out a strong third party challenge.

On the other hand, Donald Trump may decide to run his own independent campaign.  He has to be seething with anger about this and Donald does not always respond rationally when he is pissed off.  Almost anything is possible.

This is nothing short of a call for a full scale conservative rebellion.  We will soon learn just how much influence these people really have.  I suspect it is much stronger than anyone in the Republican establishment or the main stream media realizes.

As for me, I think it is about time. I am sick and tired of the Republican establishment.  In 1952 the Pittsburgh Pirates lost 112 games.  General Manager Branch Rickey told his star player Ralph Kiner he would have to take a pay cut.  When Kiner complained, Rickey said the following:

“We could have finished last without you.”

Exactly.  What is the point of electing Republican establishment politicians if nothing ever changes? In addition, Republican establishment candidates are famous for losing elections they should have won.  We can get similar results without them.

Revelation 3:16

“So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
