Typical presidential elections are composed of the Republican and Democrat parties, and other fringe groups that occasionally gain a seat or two in local elections, but that rarely have any real impact on the trajectory of the nation.
This is not true this year.
It seems that Democrats have decided leave their traditional party behind to embrace the American Socialist Party, something they have been veering towards for several years, but are now fully committed to in order to destroy capitalism and figure out how to turn the nation into a larger version of Cuba, but with better bathrooms.
Crazy Uncle Bernie is leading that charge, and the Democrat establishment is humoring the kids since it keeps them from focusing on Hillary’s legal problems and shenanigans. The other half of Democrat roster is Hillary Clinton, who should be in jail, but instead is finding great support from her Wall Street chums who do not seem too interested in the “folks back home” and in fact want to keep the good times rolling for big banks and corporate heavy weights.
Hillary is stalking Bernie to the left in order to appease the know-nothing women and “it’s her turn” gang who are not quite ready for full on socialism. It is clear that once the primary is sewn up and handed to Hillary in a nice Christmas package, she will dump the economic disaster proposed by Bernie and start working on her own goal of becoming a billionaire, while husband Bill is unloosed on a new slew of unsuspecting co-eds. Nothing traditional about either of these two, and populist Democrats who traded on the Democrat image helping regular folks should be spinning in their graves about now.
The Republicans are equally befuddled. Ted Cruz seems to be courting the far right, Christian evangelicals and Tea Party activists, thought it is hard to tell from his legislative track record what he really believes. But the Republican party elites (read establishment) are not happy with him, and they had hoped to jam through Jeb Bush, then Marco Rubio, and now John Kasich.
Establishment types have no one to blame but themselves as they promised reform and commitment to the Constitution and conservative values to core voters, then stabbed them in the back each and every year as they acquiesced to Barack Obama and did everything possible to please their business and Chamber of Commerce masters, all while leaving their conservative voters in the lurch. They are now panicked since the jig is up and the public is on to them, determined not to get tricked again. Cruz is rigid and not well liked in the halls of Congress, but it seems easy to predict he will go hard right in most decisions, though it seems he supports “free” trade and the TPP, which would harm American workers, no one know if he will be able to get anyone to follow him.
But the real joker in the deck and the one people don’t know what to expect from is Donald Trump. He brilliantly played the anger and dissatisfaction of the American people as they saw Republican and Democrat politicians sell the country out to cheap, illegal alien labor. He has also tapped into the disgust that people have for the politically correct nonsense, especially President Obama’s as he invited Muslim “refugees” into the country without finding out whether they were Islamic terrorists.
Trump is a political unknown quantity, and the politicians can’t figure out if he will play their game or not. They hate not knowing how to control him and even if that is possible, so both sides of the aisle have been desperate to find a way to derail his campaign. He is not “one of them,” and does not play by their rules, and that terrifies the Washington elite. The problem is insider plans have not worked, and Trump’s popularity has just gotten larger.
Now, instead of defaming Trump, the party elites are trying to figure out how to rig the final tally so that the millions of voters who have been keeping him at the top of the Republican primary will be ignored and their votes will be tossed in the trash.
How do they think that will work?
Republican luminary warns GOP of tossing Trump votes, page 2:
My personal belief is that he has been establishment the whole time but was made to look like he was a outsider to try and qualm the anger of the silent majority and independents. the same thing the republicans and democrats do on the hill act like they are on opposite sides but actually work together, It’s Called Hegelian Dialectic which they have been using for years to keep the people separated while they further the agenda ehind he scene’s
RULES RE RULES… If you do not abide, then you are a disciple of OBAMA. Make up your own RULES
The republicans are a do nothing party trying to constantly decide who will be their leader.Their full of$#%&!@*
Sarah, and if the don’t come “around”, soon..then, their jobs will be on the line
95% of this country could vote for Trump and he would not get office. Have you all forgotten ACORN fraud and Black Panther intimidation and what pieces of$#%&!@*they are. Or the fact that northeastern jews are spending millions and millions to destroy the Republican party
POTUS IS legally FOR SALE in the USA
Republican delegates can be showered with free gifts in order to buy their votes.
So long as the candidate himself is not personally giving the gifts, his associates can give whatever gifts they want, free trips, plane tickets, concert tickets, gift bags with expensive watches and new tablets, pretty much anything.
CARSON / SURGEN GENERAL ,,Cruz never gave money to KILLARY,, never went BANKRUPT,, Never USED CHINA TO MAKE ANY THING,, ONLY ONE TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION is CRUZ…
I disagree, although he was eligible he was never vetted through the State Department as required and issued a CRBA which has a cut of age of 18 years old.. So even if his mother had become naturalized Later and they don’t take I to account that he was born a Natural citizen of Canada which had no duel Citizenship at the time of his birth and even if the US considers him eligible he was never vetted and Documented in time…. In an interview he admitted to never being issued a CRBA which would be the equivalent to a US Birth Certificate….. This is our Immigration Laws and completely relevant…. He wasn’t born on a US Military Base which would have been US Soil
you are right, that is why Obamaand the Democrats want the guns because they truely know that there will be a large uprising if the “Establishment” continues down their path
Natural born means born on American soil and like you pointed out he was not So he is not eligible to be POTUS everything else is secondary.
