Boaty McBoatface And Donald Trump: What If Voters Are Wrong?

In case you haven't heard, this morning it was announced that "The UK's new polar research ship is to be named RRS Sir David Attenborough, despite the title "Boaty McBoatface" previously topping a public vote."
As a nod to popular opinion, one of the ship's remote robot submarines will bear the "McBoatface" moniker.
The Brits decided that the voters were wrong.
It's far too late for the Republican National Committee to do the same.
I'd like to feel sorry for them, but they built this. For at least 30 years the Republican establishment has tolerated Rush Limbaugh's hate speech, the birther movement, death panels, Bengaaaazi, all the lies about Iraq, Drudge sensationalism, James O'Keefe fake videos, Sarah Effing Palin, for godsakes, all in the pursuit of a reliable electorate that would consistently pull the lever for the Republican ticket.
This year, that electorate turned on THEM.
@bluegal And now they're stuck with Orangey McOrangeface.
