      GOP '16 strength was supposed to be governors. Congress unpopular, need an exec, a record. But all 7 current/former govs together poll 19%.

      @mschmitt9 Governors would've been a strength normally but it turns out ordinary Republicans hate their professional politicians.

      @HeerJeet Easy to dismiss, but it's a big deal, b/c this was R advantage.If ordinary Rs hate pols, how did all these govs get reelected?

      @mschmitt9 Well on state level there's no disillusionment since they're winning. A lot of the bitterness nationally goes back to 2012.

      @HeerJeet We had assumed R voters could distinguish btw Boehner (screwup, traitor) and, say, Walker (keeps his crazy promises). They don't?

      @mschmitt9 The specific disillusionment is they had candidate they didn't like foisted on them in 2012 (and arguable 2008).

      @HeerJeet Not quite buying it. They (R base) voted for romney, got turnout. Trump, Carson supporters may have no interest in GOP health.

      @mschmitt9 How else do you explain crowds cheering when Trump insults Rove, as he did last night.

      @HeerJeet People at Trump rally are subset of Trump+Carson supporters. Most R voters don't know who Rove is.

      @HeerJeet Or maybe they do know who Rove is -- pretty crazy world where voters are motivated by a hack whose big win was a decade ago

      @mschmitt9 Well, they don't need to know too much about Rove -- just that he's an establishment Republican, really.

          @mschmitt9 GOP base's sense of betrayal is strong. Based on idea: "we keep winning elections in Congress, Senate, states but get nothing"

          @HeerJeet I guess that's fair. Biggest broken promise is Obamacare repeal. The rest is generalized discontent,about changing US
