The elites in the Republican party are a bunch of hypocrites. In 2008 and 2012 when Donald J. Trump and company were spitting vitriol at Obama, nobody had the courage or the decency to call him out. But now that the Republican base has chosen Trump as its presumptive nominee for president; everybody has something derogatory to say about the man.

Trump is no different today than he was in 2008 and 2012. So, don’t blame Trump. Blame yourselves for not educating your base on who the real Trump is.
