++"Maybe there was no Republican establishment after all" is the title of a very lengthy analysis by political writer Frank Rich of the rise and dominance of Donald Trump over the entire Republican field.
++Rich trashes the conservative commentariat for its fantasies of the Donald's collapse and its assertion that the Donald doesn't represent the beliefs of the sober-minded Republicans. Rich traces all of the Donald's race-baiting, nativist and misogynist talking backwards to the very genial Ronald Reagan and bring this up to date through George H.W.Bush and Mitt Romney.
++Rich starts the article off with a lengthy conversation with a Republican who worked for Romney and served under two Bushes about why Trump was going to fail. That was months ago and the GOP has been in denial.
++Like me,Rich believes the remnants of the party will come along and back Trump in the end. All the #No Trump, # Draft Condi will go nowhere.
