The ruling class has no idea what is going on …

… and, therefore, no idea of how to stop it.

“The way it is supposed to work is the GOP works with National Review, Fox News, ‘grass roots’ organizations that have K Street offices and so on. That way, these folks can make some money, get relatives jobs in the bureaucracy and look like players in the ‘arena of ideas.’ In return, these groups go to the megaphones and rally the voters by declaring the GOP candidate the next Ronald Reagan.

“Trump, obviously, is having none of that and he is winning. That’s a big problem if you make your living selling GOP product in conservative media. The folks at Fox News used to think they were the gatekeepers, the king makers on the Right. Now they look like chumps because the guy most likely to win the GOP nomination treats them like human footstools. The ditsy blonde they sent out to whack Trump in the first debate came back in a shoe box and they have never recovered from it.” – “The Battle Cry of the Ruling Class”

(A problem with running things for a long time, the two parties forget there are ideas other than theirs. Leaders of the ruling parties, then, are unable to recognize as valid any belief not springing from party headquarters. The response: “This cannot be true! This … OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!”)
