The Wing Nuts are in Charge

One of the few laws of science that transforms its way into behaviors and I frequently underestimate is that of reaction.

When the GOP establishment decided to pander to the Tea Party, I did not anticipate a reaction on the left.  But there has been.

When Bernie Sanders draws 28,000 to a rally based upon a few tweets and Facebook postings, you know people on the left are angry at the world.  I also know this because I get a daily email from a liberal blog and I see the anger there.  There is little support for Hillary there and a lot of anger at the Tea Party GOP and support for radical ideas that (i) will never pass and (ii) might well be as dangerous as some of the Tea Party desires.

And of course we know from the Rick Santelli rant that started the Tea Party and many other's Tea Party rants that the Tea Party is angry at everybody who doesn't agree with them.

And with Donald Trump leading the splintered polls despite his obvious unqualifications, you know anger is driving this and generating an equal offsetting reaction on the left.

I did not anticipate that and if responsible people don't stand up and tell the Wing Nuts they are crazy, this could spin in unanticipated directions.
