They Don't Learn...

Lots of stories about the rank and file GOP Senators starting to cave on Obama's SCOTUS nominee...
People That Should Know are all espousing the opinion that the nominee will not only get a hearing but will most likely be confirmed due to chicanery and intrigue... 

Seems to me that the current crop of pseudo-Conservative RINOs that were elected to put a stop to the Progressive Agenda are obviously not seeing what is going on in the election cycle...
Most folks say Trump's popularity is due mostly to people being pissed at the business-as-usual politics in DC...
You would think the entrenched politicians could read the writing on the wall and start squaring their asses away.

Sadly,  it probably won't happen...
The will keep making the same dumb decisions in the face of thr obvious  contrary public opinion.

And sadly, nearly every incumbent will be reelected.

You know, I don't like the term RINO. These idiots *ARE* Republicans, as the party has become.

WE are the RINOs, fighting an insurgency to take the party back to what it used to be. But the Trump phenomenon demonstrates that the party establishment - who define what the party actually stands for when it counts - is very out of touch with the voters. That rebellion by the voters shows that they are at the end of their patience, and are the real RINOs.

Borepatch's comment made a light bulb go on in my head.
I've frequently heard the phrase "out of touch with the voters" which carries with it the connotation that at some point they were "in touch" or even cared to be.
But, I no longer think that is the case.
They want to govern not represent.
Know your place peasant.
