Donald Trump and many of his supportersĀ have smartly taken what some conservatives see as an argument over principles, and turned the focus into an epic battle between the “establishment” and the folks.
Joining that reasoningĀ is 2012 presidential candidate Herman Cain,Ā who says “itās absolutely insane” that the establishment doesn’t fall in line with the real estate tycoon.
“I believe that the American people,Ā through theseĀ first group ofĀ presidential primaries, they’reĀ making a very strong statementĀ by supporting DonaldĀ Trump,” Cain said Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News’ “Cavuto.”
Critics would argue that the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza is stretching it to use the termĀ “American people” when Trump has yet to earn the support of a majority of Republican voters.
“And for the establishment orĀ these intellectual conservativesĀ to be against Trump and activelyĀ working against him, I believeĀ itās absolutely insane,” Cain said. “One of the reasons that the Republican Party has sufferedĀ some damage control over theĀ past several years, in terms ofĀ that brand, is because theyāreĀ not listening to the people.”
When asked about comments made by the 2012 presidential GOP nominee Mitt Romney about Trump’s tax returns, Cain first hit Romney for trying to āthrow a grenade out there in order to create some discussion and some controversy,ā then surprisingly said he does not believe any candidate should have to release their tax returns — so much for transparency.
Cain later went on “Hannity” to repeat his message. Based on the responses seen on social media, an already contentious 2016 election cycle promises to get even more intense.
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
