      It looks like Romney actually not only didn't secure the nomination but also lost the popular vote in this round. The old order is dying.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/987870870696812549 …

      A lot of political commentary in America is based on premise that Trump is a passing fad & GOP is still the party of the Bushes, McCain & Romney. That is false. The older order is dying.

          Romney is still likely to win the next round and become Utah Senator. But the solid base he had within GOP is no longer there. The old order is dying.

          Jeet Heer Retweeted Daniel McCarthy

          One way to spin this is to say this is Utah GOP activists, which is to the right or general Utah GOP or just Utah. True, but....https://twitter.com/ToryAnarchist/status/987871262369296384 …

          But the activists are the future of the party. Romney will be next GOP senator from Utah, but after him?

          This is absolutely right. Which is why I can't wrap my head around the obsession large media outlets have with Never Trumpers. Richard Spencer is closer to the GOP base than Bill Kristol.

          But Trump is a passing fad. This brand of hate-driven elderly rage against the new world isn't going to survive the end of the Silent and Boomer generations. Millennial and Post-Millennial people have no interest in it

          Boomers have no interest in hatred and selfishness. We get a bad rap.

          Agreed. The new order does not want civilized politics. They want to tear down the establishment.

          We've been trying to say this for over a year now. It's the party of Trump now. Things aren't returning to the old ways after he's gone. The base has embraced him. He's their idol.

          Not idol. Trump isn’t perfect by a long shot, but he is a fighter! He has pushed through several of his campaign promises even while the Press denigrate him night & day. Doesn’t matter... the Press denigrates ALL Republicans like a pack of rabid dogs until they are out of office.
