From Reno's remarks: "This is the most important political and social earthquake since World War II. The conservative movement’s leadership isn’t up to the challenge, and a good number of voters are willing to gamble on Trump’s bluster."... 
.........

[Comment: Reno makes the case for the embarrassment of this group. He agrees things are really bad. Many of these 22 people have stood by for decades and watched American suffering that could only lead to an "earthquake." Many have had access to microphones and mass media, could easily have devoted themselves entirely to the most urgent topic: the theft of our country and how to stop it. But they didn't. Reno even says Trump supporters are right: "They suspect, rightly, that the Chamber of Commerce will sell them down the river if it adds to the bottom line." He freely acknowledges that nothing stands between lobbyists and the American people.]
