Here's another one, this time by conservative Mona Charen:

 

"No, there's a better theory for why 35 percent of Republican primary voters are ready to hand the nomination to a bullying, loutish con man who accuses George W. Bush of war crimes while promising to commit some of his own (killing the wives and children of suspected terrorists and stealing the oil of Middle Eastern nations).

 

"For the past several years, leading voices of what Matt Lewis has called "con$ervative" media, along with groups such as Heritage Action and politicians such as Sen. Ted Cruz, have ceaselessly promoted the false narrative that the Republican "grass roots" have been betrayed by the Republican leadership in Washington.

 

"Rather than aim their anger at President Obama and the Democrats, right-wing websites, commentators such as Ann Coulter and Mark Levin and many others have instead repeated the libel that "Republicans gave Obama everything he wanted." There has been a flavor of "stabbed in the back" to these accusations. If not for the treachery of the Republican Party, they claim, a party too timorous or too corrupt to stand up to Obama, we could have defunded Obamacare, balanced the budget, halted the Iran deal, you name it."
