The GOP's hands are tied by the primary and congressional voters they've emboldened. When Ted Cruz isn't conservative enough for your average primary voter, you know something has gone horribly wrong.

The news networks need to do away with the moronic idea of employing any political surrogates. How does asking [Candidate X] Supporter their thoughts on a matter provide any fresh information? Even if you agree with me, I already fucking know what I think.

Middle class people are the ones that can afford to find a baby sitter and get out of work. It may be a nuisance, but it's not the nearing-the-impossible that it would be for someone lower down the rung.

That's preciously the point. It's 2016, and some states have joined the modern world, and some want to treat this as a reflection on a time when "America was great," and it was really hard for people who weren't middle class to vote.
