Mitt 'Captain Underpants' Romney, and the Mormon Underwear that protects him from ever saying anything sensible (Image source)
They put up a bunch of charisma - free, nonentities who lack testicular fortitude against a reality TV star whose style has proved popular with audiences and yet, at a time when public disenchantment with mainstream politics is higher than ever, are surprised the outsider is winning.
Take a look at this:
"There’s an insurrection coming. Mitt Romney just confirmed it. We’ve watched governors, the National Review, conservative leaders, establishment and party operatives trash Donald Trump. But Mitt Romney will always be remembered as the one who put us over the edge and awoke a sleeping giant, the Silent Majority, the American people.
Fact. The establishment is panicked. Mitt essentially called for a brokered convention where the Republican nominee will be decided by party activists and delegates irrespective of their state’s choice… You want a brokered convention? A primer Mitt. Whenever we have a brokered convention we lose.
Dewey and Ford emerged from a brokered convention to lose the general election. So why? Because the party elites and elders want to protect us and stop of from falling into the abyss?… Most of us working two or three jobs think we’re already in the abyss. The Obama abyss…
We are sick and tired of legislators of modest means who leave Congress multimillionaires, whose spouses and families get all the contracts from selling the post offices to accessing insider information so they can buy property and flip it. You’re so entrenched that you’re willing to give Hillary Clinton a win. It doesn’t matter to you which party, crony capitalism and its paradigm will not change for the elite."

The rant then goes on for some time, see the whole clip on YouTube:
When, in 2005, a move to transfer EU member state's sovereignty from elected national assemblies to unelected bureaucrats by creating a European Constitution was voted down in France and The Netherlands, the ruling elite went away and drafted the Lisbon Treaty, which being 'a revision of the terms of membership' rather than a replacement of national constitutions, only had to be ratified by the elected governments of all member states, while the European Constitution, which would have effectively created the bureaucrats wet dream, a Pan European Superstate, had to be approved by public referendum in ALL member states.
The bureaucrats had overlooked one little thing. Ireland, because of specific terms in its constitution being drafted to prohibit a return to British rule, had to hold a referendum on anything that affected national sovereignty. And the Lisbon Treaty transferred control of human rights law and several other policy areas to the European Commission.
The Irish voters looked at how much the new treaty would encroach on national sovereignty and voted it down. End of story? No way. The EU Bueaucratic Dictatorship said, "A no vote is not acceptable, you'll have to do it again." And just to show what happens to small nations that do not conform the European Central Bank (ECB) trashed the Irish economy.
Next time round, in 2009, the EU Bureaucracy having made clear that if another NO vote resulted the whole drill would be repeated, the sector of the Irish business community that had won the previous campaign did not regroup and the vote went in favour. That was the end of the story as far as mainstream media were concerned, but the whole farce triggered public disgust, particularly in those countries where public opinion was strongly against federalisation of Europe and raised awareness that the European Union was not a democratic organisation dedicated to free trade and easier movement of people.
A brokered convention for the US Republican Party is a very different proposition of course, but if the public vote is ignored and a candidate nominated by the party hierarchy, and if Hillary Clinton is handed the Democrats nomination by the very undemocratic 'superdelegates' the only result can be even greater alienation of American citizens from what they see as a corrupt and crooked ruling elite that is completely out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people.
