In a new segment, the author calls out the political establishment for behaving "like out-of-touch aristocrats in a dying aristocracy."
The network's pundits are near tears, lamenting that they don't understand the country anymore.
If Bernie Sanders — miraculously — wins the nomination, Democratic Party elites suddenly will bless Trump as the least worst option.
