Its kind of like I'm a cultural anthropologist exploring a pre-Columbian culture. Many conservatives literally HATE the Republican Party. They feel that the mainstream party is dominated by RINOs (Republicans in name only).
They despise Paul Ryan (Speaker of the House) and Mitch McConnell ((Senate Majority Leader) and Reince Priebus (Chair of the Republican National Committee). The primary complaint is that the mainstream, GOP-E ("Republican Elites&quot are too accommodating to Obama and Democrats. They want a constant state of intense political warfare. They call Republicans and Democrats "the Uniparty".
The folks I am describing see Trump as an outsider and a no holds barred Obama-Clinton hater.
Both McCain and Romney are seen as moderates, not true, hard core conservatves, and losers.

Why Paul Ryan Wants Hillary Clinton To Win The White House
Posted on June 21, 2016 by DCWhispers

Sources now indicate Paul Ryan wants Hillary Clinton to be America’s next president, and is doing everything in his power to secure that very outcome.

If that allows Hillary to nominate up to three more Supreme Court Justices and thus tilt the balance of power of the Court so it represents far-left, progressive views, so be it.

The forty-six-year-old Paul Ryan doesn’t care because he has already been promised, and wishes to make certain, that he is the GOP’s 2020 nominee for president.

And it’s not just the 2020 election cycle that is currently on the table. Powerful Republican insiders are still hinting at a NEVERTRUMP moment at the upcoming GOP convention – and Paul Ryan is their top choice to emerge as a viable alternative.

That is the motivation behind Ryan’s multiple rebukes of Donald Trump’s views on immigration and gun rights in recent days. Ryan has all but given a full-throated defense of illegal immigration, including from nations that are known producers of terrorism, so that he can appear as the political alternative to Donald Trump, a candidate who garnered more primary votes than any Republican in history.

Then came Apple CEO Tim Cook’s recent announcement that his company would not be helping to sponsor the Republican Convention this year due to Mr. Trump’s alleged racism and bigotry. (a fabrication created by the far left – of which Mr. Cook no doubt already knows.)

And what does Paul Ryan do after this announcement is made? Embrace Tim Cook by joining the Apple CEO for a fundraiser the following week, thus sending yet another anti-Trump message. This message is not intended to the American people so much as to the political power brokers of whom Mr. Ryan so clearly has sworn his allegiance to.

Speaker Ryan is not representing actual Republican voters who overwhelmingly chose Donald Trump to be their nominee, but rather the entrenched powers in D.C. who are in turn complicit in allowing the federal government to be controlled by such anti-American influences such as Saudi Arabia and the United Nations.
