Excerpt
There is also a reality about Donald Trump’s candidacy that you should also not underestimate. People hate Washington, they hate politicians, and they are perfectly happy to champion a candidate who tells politicians to go to hell and provides creative directions on the path there. Donald Trump’s candidacy does not exist in a nation where people think the politicians actually care about making the country great again. It only exists in a nation of cynics who think the powers that be want to manage decline and profit from it.
Donald Trump is the disrespectful candidate for people who disrespect the process. He’ll be rude. He’ll be loud. He’ll be confrontational. And he won’t get the nomination. But along the way, he will speak to the fears and hopes of a lot of people who no longer connect with Washington or trust the government to get it right.
For a lot of people who hate politicians who go to Washington to get rich off the system like Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), they can trust that Donald Trump is already a billionaire so will not need to enrich himself off the treasury. Trump’s campaign, like Ben Carson’s, makes no sense in an age when people respect Washington. But it makes a hell of a lot of sense in an age when people no longer think their vote matters, but they sure want the crap kicked out of all the politicians they blame for making their vote meaningless.
The people who no longer think they can win in America will side with a guy even they don’t think can win, just to watch him strike the match and burn down all they feel betrayed them. And that, ironically, can give him staying power when coupled with his money.

Strike the match and let's start over....
ReplyDeleteI've got kindling. :)
DeleteDon't sell him short just yet. Love to see the establishment yahoos squirm.
ReplyDeleteYes and I'm not convinced that there is no chance of him getting the nomination. If it's between Bush and Hillary, hopefully he will run a third party for you never know. Bush or Hillary are about as bad as we could get and at least it would put the PTB on notice that their platform is getting very shaky.
DeleteIf it comes down to the likes of Bush and Hag Hillary, I'm not voting.
ReplyDeleteThey are both seeds of destruction.
Both worthless and Bush is a sure loser.
DeleteI think Bush and #Killary are OUT!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is wrong I do not like Trump because I "disrespect the process" I like Trump because he stands FOR the process
The GOP has taken it upon themselves to SHOVE candidates THEY have vetted down our throats -- then that candidate showed no balls, no brains, no true STANCE and in the end FAILED miserably
Trump shows that you can be vetted by just being a HUMAN who admits yep I have made mistakes yep I can be an ass yep I am a rich old white man and I love America
If he doesn't get the nomination it will not be because WE THE PEOPLE didn't want him it will be because GOP is afraid of him!
That is when the GOP will have lost all credibility and the Independent Party (or some similar name with Trump leading the way) will rise up and bring forth a 3-party America
regarding killary - Sanders will get the nomination and he is no match to Trump - hell he can't even handle BLM!
Agreed, all. If he doesn't get the nomination, he should run as third party and although this might put a D in power, it would be the beginning of the end for the D's and the R's.
DeleteExactly
ReplyDeleteThanks.
