I don.t care what "conservatives" or the party want. I am concerned about the welfare of the Nation.So you're convinced, then, that what the conservative wing of the GOP wants is what America wants?And maybe explain it without the standard hyperbole and partisan BS. Just some honest, solid analysis. Or maybe provide a link to a piece that someone has written that calmly and reasonably explains it.
I think this "Fox News is the enemy" thing is the final straw with me. I'm now completely lost, and I feel like Sandra Bullock in Gravity, floating away from reality with no way to get back.
To wit:
It's like half the party has just snapped.
- The aforementioned darling news network is, overnight, the target of at least as much derision as MSNBC
- A bombastic New Yorker who is clearly not a conservative is running away with the nomination
- That same candidate can literally say the most ridiculous things and it only makes his support stronger
- Suddenly, nationalism & populism clearly have more energy in the party than "conservative values"
- A nihilistic, "I don't care, just blow the whole thing up" attitude seems to completely permeate the party
- The slightest nod toward legislative cooperation is simply no longer allowed in public discourse
- The Establishment, whatever that is, appears to be more hated than any Democrat
Exactly what is the goal here? And does anyone care if this inter-party schism is healed?

Seems to me that you have just acquired some very mistaken ideas about what the average American in general and conservatives in particular value and want. Some people just seem to care more about what the country needs than what party "leaders" want.I'd say that's a good thing.
