Eugene Robinson accidentally tells the truth on Morning Scar... [View all]

This Republican "woe is us" theme about Trump's unstoppable rise is pretty ironic. The entire party has created the very atmosphere in which Trump thrives.

They created and encouraged the anger, resentment and frustration that Trump so adroitly channels.

GOP power brokers say "our voters have lost their minds".

No, you drove them crazy.
