"Jeb Bush who appears to be dumb founded (he didn’t have far to go) over the Trump phenomenon balks and stutters his way to the basement. He said recently that Trump is “more of a Democrat than a Republican.” Like Karl Rove and many in the stunned Republican fraternity, Bush just doesn’t get the message. It’s not Republican or Democrat anymore, It’s the country, stupid! What Trump has brought to the field is, in part, what we the people have been shouting from the side lines. His personal demeanor or even his “interesting” background is superfluous at the moment. It’s the bold, clear subject matter of his message that counts!" --Howard Stansell

It’s not Republican or Democrat anymore, It’s the country, stupid!
"Political insiders don’t see that the biggest political phenomenon in
America today is a revolt against the “ruling class” of insiders that
have dominated Washington for more than three decades. In two very
different ways, Trump and Sanders are agents of this revolt. " --Robert
Reich

Karl Rove is Calling Ohio 2016 for Anyone but Donald Trump
Rove wrote at the Wall Street Journal:
- The response of GOP candidates to Mr. Trump should be guided by the June 23 Fox News Poll showing that 64% of Republicans, 69% of conservatives and 55% of tea party members consider his candidacy a sideshow. An analyst at the FiveThirtyEight website pointed out that Mr. Trump has the worst favorable/unfavorable ratings of 106 presidential candidates since 1980, worse than even Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Mr. Trump is disliked by 57% of his own party.…
- Mr. Trump could become the 2016 version of Missouri Rep. Todd Akin, who tarnished the GOP brand in 2012 with an offensive statement about rape. Republican leaders from Mitt Romney on down immediately condemned his words, but swing voters were persuaded that every Republican believed what Mr. Akin said.
