I am fascinated by the few responses here. Judge Jeanine speaks very clearly and many still miss the point. Neither the GOP nor the Democratic party leaders are in touch with their constituents. Both are driving public policy to their own ends. They have isolated themselves sufficiently within the protective bubble of big government that they can get away with it. Look at the primaries thus far. Democratic voters are responding by staying home. They don't have anyone to stir them up. Republican voters are turning out in record numbers. Donald Trump is their lightning rod. It matters not that he shares little of their ideology. He isn't conservative and yet the Tea Party appears to love him. Thus, while the Democratic party leaders are little heard from, the GOP party leaders are attacking, fighting for their very lives. They know damn well that if Trump is elected, there is going to be a big shakeup in their party. I don't think anyone expects Trump to do much good for the nation. Judge Jeanine said as much. She also said, quite rightly, that he can't do any more harm than Obama has done. But Republicans have an intuitive sense that you can't take back your nation until you first take back your party, and that's the charge that Trump is leading.

I'm no fan of Trump. Personally, I think Cruz could do just as good a job of shaking up/reforming the GOP. However, I also feel that he would be a far less dangerous occupant in the White House than Donald Trump.

But if she's going to be talking about how the GOP is failing, Obama and the DNC have nothing to do with it. This is a complete failure from the RNC/GOP to make a strong attempt at reining him in. Now that they're forced to take him seriously they don't like it. All of the RNC favorites have been crushed by Trump. Leaving two people that depending on your view, aren't liked by much of anyone. Christie endorsing a man he "hated" isn't helping the cause any and standing like a buffoon behind Trump proves he too was broken by Trump.
As far as the voters go, the Dems could have less for now, but in the end, she's going to be the nominee. So Bernie will endorse her, and ask his followers to support her. So whatever shortcomings they had, will be made up for in spades. Trump will go to the convention and NOT be nominated. I don't think there is a reasonable person there who believes he will. Rubio is the "safe" bet, and once he gets the nod, Trump will run on his own, killing whatever chance the GOP thought they had to win. Hillary will be President next year. Don't have to like it or her, but it doesn't change the fact that Trump is showing his behind and no one wants to man up and beat it.

SSG Warren Swan - I don't know how to communicate with you. Judge Jeanine said it. I said it. Still you don't hear it. I give up. You'll just have to be confused.

CPT Jack Durish Anger is by definition 'irrational'--but the person who can best tap into whomever is most angry will become this nation's next president--only because there is so much anger out there. Neither am I a Trump supporter (I detest bullies) but I will give it to him for shaking up the GOP--perhaps right into the ground.

CPT Jack Durish - Just because she has an opinion and a show to spew it out on, does not make it right. Just because you agree with her doesn't make her right nor you. It's an opinion shared between you two that there is some form of mutual agreement on. For me not to agree with her doesn't make me confused in the least, nor any more ignorant, educated, or uneducated than anyone else's opinion. I do not agree with her in the manner she put this "information" out. She drug everyone in short of their grandmothers as scapegoats for the RNC's failure. I've watched her on other occasions and to me, she's just like any other person on a "news" show....say whatever you can to make people tune in, and on social media discuss it. So again Sir, I'm far from confused, and am far from following anyone just because they might have a degree, a TV show, 100lbs of bad make up, and have a "following". I'm more than able and willing to think for myself. It gets me in trouble a lot, but it's still MY opinion.

I watched this earlier and all I got out of it was her talking down to the RNC, and when that got tiring, lets bring in Obama and not miss a chance to blame him for something. Then she jumps on Romney, then back on Obama, then Romney. She never took the RNC to task for the rise of Trump, she didn't acknowledge that the GOP is fractured not because of Obama or Romney, but promises made to gain control, and almost all of them not kept. She should've stayed the course talking about the epic fail the GOP made by not censoring Trump in the beginning. That's where the blame lies, so everything else is her running her gums talking about how oranges taste like chicken which makes no sense, but gets ratings. She needs to practice on saying President Clinton again. It's people like her, who rather than strategize and find ways to make things better, let's go on tv with 50lbs of makeup and talk bad about everyone BUT those actually responsible.

SSG Warren Swan SSG John Thornton I believer her point (and I could very well be wrong) is that Romney represents the failed GOP elite who have taken up the hue and cry against Trump because he threatens their power base. Dole, McCain, Romney are a string of serial losers who claim to speak for the GOP, but there seems to be a rising tide against 'business as usual' politicians, and that was her warning to Romney and his ilk, IMHO. This isn't going to end well...

I'm just wondering where the Tea Party falls into this. They poured salt on the wound and only made things worse for the GOP.

SSG Ricardo Marcial - Almost everyone who self-identifies as a Tea Party-type conservative who I watch is fully behind Trump. Amazing? You bet. Trump is no conservative. Still, they love him. Why? Beats the hell out of me. It seems that he is being hailed for tweaking the noses of the GOP establishment. Remember, the GOP declared war on the Tea Party.
