The GOP Establishment has gotten so used to plying the party's base with promises, promises of radical change - even when it knew such changes were constitutionally impossible to deliver - that it will not, can not wake up to the fact the base finally wised up & are through with being taken as political yokels.
The hot rumor of the morning is that Mitt Romney is going to endorse Marco Rubio. THAT, they believe, will end to the Trump juggernaut.
Riiiiiiiiiight...Have someone the base never accepted as conservative come out for a candidate once considered a tad Tea Party, but now flies his moderate flag high. Seriously?!
The Republican base is fed to the teeth with moderates. They would prefer a hybrid like Donald Trump to another one. But the Establishment just doesn't get that harsh reality.
The base believes that Mitt Romney lost to Obama where a true conservative would have won. They believed that in 2008, with John McCain. They are not going to see nominating another moderate as a good thing.
Many of Donald Trump's more fervent fans know in their heads he's not the true conservative they crave, but they know in their hearts he's not the moderate they loathe. And THAT is what stirs their deep rapport & support.
These are the folks who will see the nomination of anyone other than Trump or Cruz as confirmation that the GOP does not represent them, that it wants their vote but doesn't have their backs. And who knows what will happen next.
