Charles, like many, is in a real quandry trying to understand the Trump victory.
More fundamentally, Trump has no affinity whatsoever for the central thrust of modern conservatism — a return to less and smaller government. If the establishment has insufficiently resisted Obama’s Big Government policies, the beneficiary should logically have been the most consistent, indeed most radical, anti-government conservative of the bunch, Ted Cruz.So some guy marries the "good girl". She turns out to not be all that "good" and sleeps around. News at 11, he complains about her and starts dating a hooker.
HW Bush, W Bush, the Republican congress from 2000-2006, and then the House from 2010-2016 and Senate from 2014-2016 -- they ALL "slept around" with "big government", more regulation, not standing up to BO, raising taxes, etc, BIG TIME!
So if the very core of your supposedly "virtuous conservative party" is corrupt, and make no mistake, the core of the Republican party hated Cruz worse than Trump, then why does anyone believe you ought to cozy up to them YET AGAIN if you are a "conservative"?
Maybe "conservative" DOES mean "stupid"!
Cruz being embraced by Walker, and VERY tentatively by the R "establishment" during and especially after winning Wisconsin is what I believe was the kiss of death for him. It had me tentatively thinking that he was done -- but he wasn't.
When you prefer another candidate, it is VERY easy to imagine that things are going to turn out your way.
When you DON'T like a candidate -- like Charles here, it is really easy to fall into thinking that everyone that does like him is "stupid".
