There was lots of political talk around after the Donald Trump/Hillary Clinton wins on Super Tuesday.

Some GOP leaders were saying they wouldn’t support their party members’ wishes if Trump is the candidate of choice after the primary elections are completed. Of course, that kind of thinking is pretty much why the voters are supporting Trump.

Voters don’t think their elected representatives are carrying out their wishes and desires. Imagine then their frustration if the current politicians try to broker the GOP convention in Cleveland this summer. Voters would look to their elected “representatives” as only representing themselves.

Therein lies the crux of the dissatisfaction voters have with their elected officials at all levels of government. The candidates get elected and then forget who it was who elected them in the first place.

Just look at who is whining about Trump and you will recognize a whole spectrum of former and present “representatives.” I believe Trump supporters just weren’t happy with the other dozen or more professional pols who were running. The gal I liked for the job dropped out early.

What the elected officials really dislike is that Trump just doesn’t seem to care what they think nor probably what you and I think. Trump is a brand that is selling itself and folks are buying. This is a repudiation and backlash against the incumbency. Congress has single digit approval ratings, which (news flash) means folks don’t believe they are doing a good job.

Trump is threatening their job security as elected officials. He is presenting himself and his ideas as the basis for his campaign. He doesn’t pander. These are his ideas and a significant portion of the electorate seem to like them.

Bernie Sanders is doing pretty well with younger voters and is presenting a favorable message for the far left. He’s pretty well funded and has promised to stay in the fight. He has the lead on college campuses and has transformed himself into a modern day Eugene Debs. He’s not likely to win his party’s nomination but he has staying power.

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are the professional GOP pols favorites. They are professional politicians from big states with lots of delegates. Cruz won his own state and a neighboring state and don’t be surprise if Rubio wins his own state. They both have good Hispanic voter penetration but neither will go to their party’s convention leading in the delegate vote.

Clinton is ahead on her side of the aisle and is likely to stay there unless she is charged with “careless use of a computer.”

So Trump has a bunch of male middle class and blue collar voters. Bernie has the kids and lefties all tied up. Clinton has the women and the unions. Cruz/Rubio have machine GOP and the Hispanics.

This is a perfect chance for a third or even a third and fourth new party to start up. The vote used to be bifurcated but now it is quartered. It’s no wonder the traditional party leaders are upset. They could lose power in a de facto four party system. Bernie probably will pledge his support to Clinton, but what about Cruz/Rubio?

Trump has gone it alone without party help thus far. If there is a brokered GOP convention, then I don’t think he will change his course too much. He does his own financing so what does the party bring to him? If he keeps going, the GOP is greatly weakened. But hold on, if Hillary gets indicted, is Bernie the candidate? Then we might indeed see four parties.

Professional politicians are beside themselves. The Dems are hoping that Bernie just goes away while if the GOP loses Trump, then Trump could win and the party hacks lose power. If the professionals dump Trump, then they lose the election.

The convention coverage this summer might just be worth watching.
