Hijacking The GOP?

The Rove-ites keep saying that Donald Trump is hijacking the GOP. I'm sick to death of hearing that!

Over this whole period, the middle class hasn't seen a pay increase -- while GOP political consultants rake in millions as a reward for losing. The fact that four of the wealthiest counties in America are inside or near the Washington Beltway says everything to voters about who is benefiting from a $4 trillion government.

The Republicans have only themselves to blame for this working-class revolt. These are voters who are horrified by what Barack Obama has done to our country and, so, in the 2014 midterm elections, they naively put their faith in Republicans to at least try to fix thing.

I am with him up until he says this: ...I'm confident we will win, because this is still a democracy and, sorry, the rules are still "One person, one vote," not "One dollar, one vote."

I anticipate banana republic level election fraud in November.

Trump just had a handy surfboard.
