Well no duh, GOP Establishment, but then again, that is why this is a government of, by and FOR the People of the United States and why we are going to put your cocaine snorting asses in prison for a long damn time.

WATCH: GOP Establishment Elites Discuss How to Stop Trump -- 'All He Has Going for Him Is a Lot of Votes'

MARK McKINNON [GOP Strategist and Executive Producer of The Circus]: And how problematic is that for the future of the party?

HOHLT: I think before it’s all over, it’s gonna be hugely problematic.

VIN WEBER [Former Congressman]: I talk to people all of the time, as I’m sure everybody around the table does, and they say, ā€œWhy don’t you Republicans do something about this guy?ā€ I’m sorry. This is not the Soviet Union. We can’t call a meeting and decide Trump is out.

RON KAUFMAN [White House Advisor Bush 41]: And we hate that.

[Laughter]

KAUFMAN: Deny dictatorship — Who’s for it? Trump is doing well for one reason. He understands the climate and the culture of America today better than anybody at this table.

MARK HALPERIN [Political Journalist and Executive Producer of The Circus]: How do you feel about the fact that the Republican nominee may be someone that none of you know?

ED ROGERS [White House Advisor Reagan, Bush 41]: Shell-shocked. Bewildered. Republicans are hierarchical, respectful of authority, and we fall in line, and Trump has interrupted that cycle.

WEBER: Donald Trump, nobody thought of him as any kind of political leader until six months ago.

ROGERS: He’s not articulate. He’s not poised. He’s not informed. All he has going for him is a lot of votes. Why hasn’t any of that hit home? Here we are. Here we are.
