Trump is punishment for the dems trying to destroy our country with lies, social justice thresholds set at zero, banning words, and stunningly incompetent decisions.
Benghazi was cause by a video, yemen is a good example of obama;s ME policy, the world is a more tranquil place because of obama, shovel ready jobs, you can keep your doctor, the red line in Syria, isis is the JV team and we have to pass it to find out what is in it........the country has had enough, we are tired of 'being played'. the dems count on their supporters being dazed and confused 'so they can be played'....and it is working well.
Republicans never do anything wrong according to them. Seems like the Republicans have had a credibility problem. The racist tea party was a joke. Likewise, Trump got embarrassed with his birther movement. Trump also never has details about his plans other than how much we are going to love it. What is he hiding by not putting his taxes out there? Maybe so we will see what a total fraud he really is?
Instead of his constant name calling, how about some details of his plans? Unless ,he hasn't got any....
The establishment and moderates in the GOP deserve what they are getting. 23 years ago they thought they would let far right wing ideology whip up their base. Now they are seen as spineless because as it turns out when the Bible and the Constitution get in a fight the Constitution always wins. The base of the party moved too far to the right so much so that what they wanted can't be delivered. So they created a revolving door of one inexperienced politician after the next all promising the impossible.
The establishment in the GOP stayed silent too long and now they are silenced. Compromise is a fundamental building block of Democracy. They have removed the word from the conservative lexicon and now their constituents believe you elect someone to go to Washington to rule and not legislate.
Nah, you don't get it.... The problem isn't Trump or the TEA Party, the problem IS the Republican Party.
The TEA Party and Trump are both a response to a Republican Party that has become a feckless, spineless group of weak-kneed morons who are too afraid to stand up for themselves against the Democratic machine. Trump and the TEA Party are a response to a Republican Party that has for years made promises to and taken advantage of it's base only to break those promises once elected; to a Republican Party that has lost touch with it's Conservative roots; to a Republican Party that has refused to stand up to Obama and the Democrats. If not for these things, than the TEA party would have never existed and Trump would never have gotten anywhere. Trump and the TEA Party are not just some anomaly that popped up randomly out of nowhere as you seem to be suggesting.
Apparently establishment Republicans STILL haven't gotten the message that THEY are the problem even after an election season where they have been rejected whole cloth. They have learned nothing. They still see themselves as holding the moral high ground as if they are entirely blameless in Trump's rise. It couldn't possibly be because of anything they did, or didn't do, right?
So in a way, yes, Trump and the TEA Party are the GOP's punishment, but not because the GOP didn't stop them, rather, it's because they are the ones that created them with their ineptitude in the first place. None of this is to say that I support Trump, but I certainly understand the reasons for why the base turned to him.
The problem isn't Trump or the TEA Party, the problem IS the big banking establishment on both sides of the isle

Another part of that problem is that many Progressives apply that to the Rs and are convinced their candidates aren't part of that problem (other than Sanders supporters, I guess).
