What's amazing is watching the establishment figures trying to derail the campaign of their own nominee.

Their greed is beyond belief.

I love politics and have followed it closely since I became a political junkie in the 1972 Nixon landslide over McGovern when I was only ten years old.

Right now if you take all the polls averaged together on RealClearPolitics.Com...Clinton is up by 6.5%

And the Republican Establishment and the media are all trying to paint a picture that Trump is going to lose and that it's going to destroy the GOP and lose the Senate and the House.

BUT...in 1996 Bob Dole was the nominee. And Dole was "Mr. Establishment".
The Republican establishment types LOVED him.

He trailed Pres. Bill Clinton in the polls by 17% !!!!!!!!!!!

Never had a prayer of winning that election. Not even close to having a chance.

And there wasn't any of this agonizing and weeping over Dole going on to a crushing defeat and possibly costing the party the Senate and House.

None.

This is being done out of pure greed and lust for power by the establishment in Washington D.C.
