To the Editor:
Re “Clinton and Trump Pile Up the Delegates” (front page, March 16):
We have witnessed the Republican political establishment repeatedly repudiating Donald Trump, rightly declaring that he is not a true conservative and seeking to scare Republican voters into voting for more orthodox Republican candidates. Yet Mr. Trump keeps on attracting a plurality of Republican primary voters.
Why is the explanation of this phenomenon not obvious? Even Republican voters have had enough of the do-nothing, obstructionist tactics of their current representatives. They have decided that it is time for another direction.

Note from KBJ: The letter writer has it exactly backward. Republican voters are furious that their elected representatives, for fear of being called "racist," have done nothing to obstruct Barack Obama.
