At biker bars and rallies, the message to GOP: This is Trump’s party now
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — The sounds at this biker bar explain why leaders of the Republican party tiptoe gingerly around Donald Trump, avoid criticizing him, and keep wavering back and forth over whether to endorse him.
The rage here rumbles like a vintage motorcycle.
At a rally of bikers for Trump, they roar against Republican elites. One after another, leather-vested orators lay rhetorical beatdowns upon the party’s leaders, delivering one blow after another on the allegedly corrupt, the spineless, the disrespectful.
One such message comes with an extended middle finger.
