Breaking down the Republican Establishment

I and many others within our Rainbow/Fallbrook/Bonsall communities comprise the North San Diego County Chapter of the 2016 Committee (formerly the Run Ben Run Committee). We want to deliver the November 2016 presidential election victory to Dr. Ben Carson.

Those who follow Republican politics knew even before Dr. Carson announced his candidacy on May 4 that his greatest challenge would be from within the very party he represents – the long-entrenched Republican National Committee Establishment. The foremost challenge to Ben Carson and his supporters was coming up with a plan to break down the “Establishment” wall. Guess who provided the answer – Donald Trump!

Trump’s entry as a Republican candidate is having a shattering effect upon the “Establishment” who cling mightily to their self-serving status quo. The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, made a direct and personal appeal to Mr. Trump asking him to tone down his remarks about his fellow Republican candidates and speak less candidly and harshly about them.

Those conversant with the accusative speech from Trump and the “thumbing of his nose” to Priebus are not surprised. Trump never fails to respond Trump-like. Polls rating Trump as number one testify to how many Americans are attracted to him. Americans are fed up with “politics as usual” and “Establishment” politicians.

The Trump-triggered crack in the “Establishment” wall will widen in the first debate on Aug. 6. Pay close attention to how the soft-spoken and common-sense speaking Ben Carson breaches the wall weakened by Trump. Thank you, Donald.
