The people have spoken, so why are so many establishment insiders still opposed to the will of the people? It's time to clean up Washington.

It's okay to be opposed to Trump, but not the will of the people.

Donald Trump is finally the presumptive Republican nominee. The GOP Chairman Reince Priebus called for fellow Republicans to fall in behind Trump and unite against Hillary Clinton, who is widely anticipated to be the Democratic challenger. However, Republicans have a lot of work to do if Trump is to be successful in the White House.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Primary campaigns can be bitterly contested affairs and they can virtually destroy parties. There is in both parties a hard core series of dissatisfied voters who will never support the eventual nominees, known as the "NeverTrump" and "Bernie or Bust" factions. But these two groups are small and unavoidable, and the election will be decided by independents who are in the middle between Trump and Clinton.

Although Clinton polls slightly ahead of Trump, and is expected to pick up most of Sanders' supporters when the time comes, her election is far from assured.

The strongest argument most Clinton supporters have is, "She's not Trump." This argument is a sheepish admission that Clinton is a zero, and has always been a zero for all of her life. Unless, of course, you count how much she has helped herself versus anyone else. Consider how much money she's made off private speaking engagements. Now ask how many scholarships she's personally funded and handed out to young women aspiring to college?

Trump has some 'splainin' to do. The major media narrative is that he's a racist bigot. But is he really? And can he successfully convince the American people that he's not?

To be opposed to endangering the American people by welcoming people from a region overrun by terrorists, and to be opposed to people entering the country illegally, does not make a person racist, it makes them prudent.

And while the issue of race won't carry much weight either way with Trump's base, it's the moderates in the middle who may decide the election.

By surrendering to Trump and playing the same few cards against Trump, calling him a racist, a misogynist, and a failed businessman, the left has revealed just how weak its case is. Furthermore, Trump can now spend the next six months countering this narrative by fleshing out his staff with women and minorities, as well as minority and moderate endorsements.

He can certainly attack Hillary Clinton, who the public finds lackluster at best. Even Democrats are hardly impressed with her, as turnout statistics reveal. At best, she's a moderate Democrat, too close to the Republicans for comfort, for the liberal base. At worst, she's a virtual felon only lacking the formal conviction.

Trump has the initiative and Clinton is at a glaring disadvantage. In spite of the 'stupid' polls, Trump can win quite easily. And we haven't even aired out her email scandal, which the FBI will bring up soon. She's been under investigation for over a year, and the FBI does not pursue a year long investigation against someone unless there's something to go on. Their delay is only because they know their case needs to be solid, once it's presented. Rest assured, they have a case. Although the odds are firmly against an indictment, the court of public opinion will judge Clinton, and it won't be helpful to her cause.

With the White House it's Trump's to lose.  We the people, have another task. We owe it to one another to continue the 'revolution' started by insurgent candidates like Sanders and Trump. Both men have enjoyed a surge in popularity because they are so vehemently opposed to the establishment. The American people are livid with the Republican party in particular, but that anger will not be satiated by merely electing Donald Trump.

Trump also needs a Congress that will work with him, and not obstruct his every proposal. Only then can Trump be given a fair shot at managing America.

In order to elect a Congress that will work with Trump, the people must un-elect the worst of the establishment cronies. Here's a short list of people who need to go away.

1. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE)
2. Rep. Scott Rigell (R-VA)
3. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
4. Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM)
5. Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA)
6. Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL)
7. Rep, Beth Fukomoto Chang (R-HI)
8. Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI)
9. Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY)

10. Steve House (R-CO) Steve House is the chairman of the Colorado GOP, and he's the one that tweeted out "NeverTrump" immediately after crookedly awarding all of the state's delegates to Ted Cruz. Of course, he denied sending the inappropriate Tweet, and his staff claimed they were hacked. They later claimed to be "investigating" the origin of the tweet. Right. LIAR.

But we know who sent it. He did. Or at least he's responsible for it. That's why no culprit has yet been found. House is a party insider, crooked and corrupt with the rest of them. His career needs to end.

Lindsey Graham - Is a typical Republican insider who voted to bail out the big banks, was willing to curtail free speech during wartime, is comfortable with indefinite detention and believes raising taxes is a pretty good idea. He has suggested the GOP should change its position on gay "marriage." Graham has been in office since 2003. He's been on the gravy train. It's time to get this guy out of office. Let the big banks fail, and let's keep marriage between one man and one woman, as it has always been throughout our nation's history. Above all, let's get the career politicians out so we can get someone in who will work with the president instead of promoting a closeted homosexual agenda.

Mitch McConnell - Has been around longer than Lindsey Graham, having run the halls of the capitol since the 1970s. He's considered to be among the most corrupt politicians in Washington. He is also the Senate majority leader. Despite this distinction, he's hardly accomplished anything with it. Unless you count his F-grade Liberty Score. He's just another party insider whose time has come.

John McCain - Contrary to politically correct opinion, John McCain was never a hero in the traditional sense. As Trump pointed out, being captured by the enemy does not make a person a war hero. A war hero is a person who destroys the enemy and wins the battle for his side. McCain did nothing to advance the American cause by merely being captured. While this does not diminish the value of his service or his sacrifice, to regard him in the same light as General Patton or George Washington is ridiculous. McCain has rode the public gravy train since 1987, and was promptly mired in the Keating 5 scandal following election. That should have cost him his seat, at a minimum, but he went on to run for president, and lose, giving America Barack Hussein Obama.

McCain needs to be retired by the voters, and be replaced with a winner who will work with President Trump sent in his stead.

Mitt Romney - Romney is another embarrassment and failure. He attempted to facilitate the establishment hijacking of the primary process, which we learned has nothing to do with the will of the people, save for the fact the people insisted otherwise. He is also guilty of losing to Barack Hussein Obama, giving us another four years with the quasi-socialist Failure-in-Chief. Nobody listens to Romney to begin with, so his aborted return to politics looked every bit as pathetic as it actually was.

John Kasich - Despite nearly a year of desperate campaigning, he only won his home state and  came in second place to Trump. Second place is also known as the first loser. Kasich's error is he should have dropped out long ago and endorsed the choice of the people. Instead, he divided the votes and hamstrung Cruz's campaign. Now Kasich can go home to Ohio and tend to his state, where he most likely belongs.

How about the party insiders? The un-elected corrupt whose loyalty is to "the party" and never the people.

-Former Gov. Christie Todd Whitman (R-NJ) - Traitor to the people, he has gone on record announcing he will support felonious Clinton over the choice of the people.

-Former Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) - Another traitor who says he would prefer any other living, breathing person than Trump.

-Former Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK) - Watts claimed that a Trump victory would be a "tremendous setback for the party." Actually, that's true. It's a setback for the party, but a win for the people. The problem is the party doesn't advocate for the people and apparently Watts doesn't either.

-Former Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) Ron Paul - Ron Paul has failed repeatedly in his attempts to do anything. As if his opinion ever mattered, he volunteered the idea that Trump is "worse than the establishment." This is because Trump hates illegal immigration. You know, like the rest of the country does. However, it's difficult for people to understand that hating crime itself and disliking  a race of people are two different things. That's why Ron Paul thinks Trump is a racist, because he hates illegal immigration. Fun fact: Ron Paul would hate illegal immigration too if squatters moved onto his property without permission. Would that make him racist if he were to ask them to leave?

There are more than these who need to go. From authors, to pundits, to journalists and more, there's another list of people who need to go away.

-Tim Miller, former spokesman for Jeb Bush, actually sounds borderline dangerous when he cries, "Please for the love of God go vote in the Republican primary against Trump."  This desperate plea didn't work, of course, as people turned out in epic numbers, but to vote for Trump, not against him. Once again, here is a self-proclaimed Republican who is more interested in corrupt party politics than what's best for the people.

-Mark Salter, former speechwriter for Sen. John McCain wrote, "Are we in such dire straits that we must dispense with civility, kindness, tolerance and normal decency to put a mean-spirited, lying jerk in the White House?"

First of all, being honest, open and direct isn't the same as being uncivil. Frankly, the American people are finding the direct, all-business approach to be refreshing. Tell me, what is more appreciated? Knowing where you stand with a person, or guessing where you stand because their mouths are dripping with honey, even when they despise you?

Salter has pledged to support Clinton in the election, should Trump win. Enjoy your support, Clinton, I'm sure you'll need it once Trump starts talking about your personal qualities.

-Meg Whitman, the CEO of Hewlett Packard declared Trump "unfit to be president." Why? Because he won't play the financial games you prefer? Or is it because you can't tell illegal immigration and national security apart from racism? The good news is, it's another vote Trump won't need.

-Glenn Beck, Nobody listens to Glen Beck anymore, but they will tune in to his "I'm fasting!" act to watch him suffer. Beck wanted Cruz to win so bad he took to fasting as a sign of pious religious devotion. It had zero effect on either God or the voters. Go rub your face in Cheetos again.

-Mark Levin, Conservative author and show-host Mark Levin has expressed support for Cruz, and accused Trump's campaign of using "Nixonian tactics." He predicted the campaign would backfire. It didn't. Levin has described himself as 'Never Trump."

Well, a lot of Americans are now "Never Levin," so there's that.

-Erick Erickson, Erickson, editor-in-chief of the Red State blog, really wants a third party candidate now. Anything but the choice of the people. Erickson is 40, but he's already losing his edge. He wants the GOP to apologize for impeaching Bill Clinton. Apparently pathological liars are okay, as long as they're elitists, not insurgent Republicans.

-Mary Matalin, a FORMER Republican strategist, who is apparently not all that, has declared she is going to quit the Republican party and become a Libertarian. Not that we care. But it shows that these people are more wed to their gravy train buddies than democracy itself.

Matalin wants to "hear from Donald Trump" where he stands on his "policy prescriptions." How about Trump actually seems to care about the people more than the party, which is why there's a crisis to begin with. The old guard is being shown the door by voters who are tired of it. The old guard's mouthpieces are afraid they're going to lose their seats on the gravy train as well.

We think that's great. The American people have no seats on the gravy train, so why should they?

-National Review, these characters described themselves to us as the "Pope of Conservatism" in an email exchange over a story we published earlier in the year. If that's true, then we're happy to be the Protestant Conservatives, nailing our 99 Thesis to the door of their corrupt, unholy church. Honestly, we're reluctant to mention them, nobody reads their birdcage liner anymore, and we're just giving them free press. You're welcome, National Review. Shame about the death of your business model. Crying shame you've lost touch with the people.

The elitists have run the gravy train for years now, and they've helped themselves so much, they think it's normal. They have no shame about it either, and happily tell the American people that their preferences don't matter. That the party trumps democracy. They know ultimately, the American people will put up with the same crap choices they force feed them ever election cycle.

Until now. This year, the American people have said ENOUGH! of their shenanigans. The election of Trump is intended to send a message to the Republican party and the elite establishment that the people are sick and tired of their games. And we're sick and tired of the people who defend the players.

We want a president and a congress that represents the interests of the voters, the real Main Street Republicans, not Beltway insiders. And we want them to support the issues we feel are important. HINT: It's not bathrooms. It isn't even abortion or any ot the other contrived issues Republicans talk about and somehow NEVER fix.

We want to end disastrous trade agreements, illegal immigration and moreover we want jobs. We want a strong nation that is respected for its power internationally, not a nation that kowtows for peace at any price.

We want living wages and an end to the welfare state. We know why the welfare state is so big. It's because Americans have not gotten a raise in 16 years. Purchasing power continues to decline. Thanks, big government!

We want our freedoms to be defended. We want to practice our faith without fear of being sued by militant atheists, homosexuals and others who promote their own brand of hate under the false flag of "acceptance." We want the freedom to own a firearm restored, so we can protect our families. It's easier to carry a pistol than a police officer.

We want as government that lives within its means, budgeting according to its receipts. Every single American is expected to live this way, why are our politicians exempt?

We have provided you with a list of people who need to lose their jobs and be sent packing. These are the traitors to the people who put party politics before democracy. These people are your 'enemies'.

If you vote for these people, or support these people again, you're making a huge mistake. And you get the government you deserve. Shape up, or enjoy Hillary.
