Republicans should be euphoric with Trump. In him, they have a candidate who can draw tens of thousands at each rally and provide record primary turnouts, a situation the GOP has dreamed about for decades. Yet, there is wailing and gnashing of teeth within the Republican establishment. If only Mr. Trump could be like past candidates and meet the standard litmus of being more conservative, overtly religious and, certainly, more restrained with his language.

This is really GOP Washington-speak for “we are scared to death he might actually win and upset the time-honored way both parties’ elites are protected and always govern.”

President Obama has not built consensus on anything. He is a radical and polarizing figure. Our military is broken, the borders are wide open and the middle class is reeling from years of war, lack of jobs and a failed public school system. People are angry.

As Michael Goodwin of the New York Post observed, “No one speaks for them. The left speaks for the unions, the poor and nonwhite. The GOP speaks for the Chamber of Commerce, big business and Wall Street.” Finally, working America now has its lobbyist and voice in Mr. Trump.
