The GOP's De-Donaldization Strategy Exposed (In 1 Simple Chart)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We previously explained what appeared to be Republican leadership's plan to 'deal with' The Donald's status quo upsetting rise. As the following chart shows, last night's debate, as we noted here, seemed to put that plan into action... but it did not work.

 

Source: The Washington Post

 

We humbly suggest, for now it did not work...

Just like the chart shows, the party wants a Bush/Fiorina ticket. There is no way in Hades I will vote for either, even w/ Trump. That'd just guarantees Trump would meet with an unfortunate accident shortly after assuming office.

What the US needs is a John Wayne / Clint Eastwood / Chuck Norris type of POTUS... Someone that will take names, kick ass and enforce the laws of the land... All of them... In lieu of that type of candidate, Trump will have to do...

I am surprised Trump has not brought up the fact that Europe has been putting up miles of razor wire fencing in a matter of days.  This is a "shovel ready" program for the US to put Americans back to work.

I liked when Rubio said to Trump "You will either die on the gallows or some unspeakable disease"

and Trump retorted "that depends on if I embrace your policies or your mistress"

Well, one could only hope.

My humble idiotic opinion?

Take back all trade deals from NAFTA onwards.  That is the root of the rise of corps.

 

Negate them all, Dismantle and allow fair trade. I have no problem with EM nations producing goods.  I simply choose to buy quality, even today.  I bought a vacuum latest. I researched the hell out of where it was produced. It was made in Germany.  Miele.  Paid more. Will last.    And quit this frigging run for cheaper slaves and more power.  Walmart deserves to starve.

True, but the coporations are feeding like they've never fed before. They get subsidized 2 ways by the Fed gov. 1) By the fedgov selling bonds to slave camp China to balance the unbalanced. Sure, China sold some but they still hold a whole lot more(plus buying RE). This is why Boehner and the boys will bump up the debt ceiling again. 2)By the fedgov handing out money to the walmart shoppers to buy their junk. The rest of us are being slowly, but surely, eaten alive.

Pro-Trump super-PAC aims to raise ‘unlimited funds’

 

An independent super-PAC has been formed to raise unlimited funds to power Donald Trump’s run for the presidency, The Post has learned.

The political action committee is called Make America Great Again, the slogan of the Republican real estate mogul’s White House campaign.

It says in its filings that it “intends to raise funds in unlimited amounts.”

“Anti-Politician” Trump raises money from notorious McGreevey Democrat (and released felon)

 

None other than Charles Kushner, a big time Democrat real estate developer and political financier for Jim McGreevey, threw a posh Jersey Shore party for the Donald on Sunday. Veteran New Jersey political watchers will also recall that Kushner is a felon who once went to jail “after pleading guilty to 18 felony counts of filing false tax returns, making illegal campaign donations and one count of retaliating against a witness.”

Mr. Kushner and his wife had previously given $100k to the pro-Trump super PAC, “Make America Great Again PAC.”

Well, maybe they can get everyone to forget the outright lie he told during the debate with all that money, people do seem to be fickle in that regard.

I'm no Bush supporter (as everyone knows) but he did in fact hire Mallory Horne (ahem...former DEMOCRAT Speaker of the Florida House and Prez of the Florida Senate) AS A LOBBYIST trying to get casino gambling into Florida.

And everyone please note, this is NOT a question on the merits for or against casinos, this is a question of truth.

Trump lied, he hired a lobbyist to lobby Bush and he held fundraisers for Bush "Hoping" to gain an advantage, essentially a bribe.

Did any of you listen? Trump says that a progressive income tax is NOT SOCIALISM. It's just the crown jewel in Marx's crown. Trump will be bad for freedom. Trump is bright but ignorant and is a whore, we'll all see that as we go along. I really like his apparent fuck off attitude.

I'm disappointed in Rand but he's the only one there that really believes in the Constitution.

I'm not a Christian so Huckabee gives me heartburn but would do a good job except foreign aid to Israel would be quadrupled.

Carson is bright and the rest are wastes of skin. Cruz is a bought off Goldman Troll that lauded super central banker Hamilton and would take off Jackson from the $20 to make way for the PC cunt. Jackson hated the central bank concept. Cruz was speaking in the native coded tongue of the banksters.

That was a question that I would have refused to answer. Carson said his mother, a child of 24 siblings and raised and educated 2 boys. Good answer.
BTW, MY FAVORITE American is Aaron Burr that killed Hamilton in a duel.

They have to force Trump to play their way.

They can't afford to have the System Broken, Dismantled, or Reformed. The Political System is Power and Control.

Trump would have to refuse the money, to stay independent and his own man.

Would he refuse the money, maybe not if he has already achieve top billing and has succeeded in crashing the GOP Stranglehold.

- It's Politics we don't know which way this will go
- The big Money political financiers have power until someone breaks the system
- It is all about Power, Control, Status, Money, Wealth

Trump's a pussy.  He didn't close when he had an opportunity.  When Bush was uttering that crap about his brother "keeping us safe", ALL Trump had to do was pause, look at whatever camera had the red light on, and say "WHAT ABOUT 9/11"?  He didn't go for it, and for that I'm very disappointed in the "The Don".

I like what Trump is doing but I believe he will fade soon. He now will actually have to work hard, memorize facts, history, keep up on current events daily, master foreign policy, etc. He can't have "great people" do these things from this point on, and that line is wearing thin. He will find a reason to drop out because the responsibility and effort required is too much. It's not fun anymore.

Trump's daughter converted to Judaism when she married a Jewish fella. I suppose her and the son-in-law may influence his policies somewhat.

As for Trump, he claims to be a Presbyterian.

The only 2 things I see that he has going for him is his willingness to challenge the status quo, verbally at least, and his immigration stance.

oops, maybe a 3rd thing. He's a smart guy obviously, but he'd not a pointy headed ivory tower dweller so perhaps people identify with him easier than with some of the other candidates. They aren't ivory tower dwellers either, but they try to come off like they are.

But yeah, the puppetmasters have their way of dealing with puppets that develop a mind of their own.

I personally think Donald would install really great people in his cabinet and other certain government agencies.  I would love to see what his dream team of management would look like.  But he is absolutely right, its about making deals.  I've personally learned so much from his books on negiotiating.

Trump knows exactly what his own cabinet would look like: no goyim allowed! Shalom.

Pretty interesting take

If he's for getting us the hell out of the middle east and against our sons and daughters dying for the ZWO, then I could tolerate other faults.

Agreed, good link.  Alas, he's not Ron.  While a 14.5% flat tax sound good to some people, it's still slavery.  Only way I would go for a flat tax is there has to be a stipulation that anybody who files a motion to raise the percentage must be executed by sunrise.

The ZWO is a Saudi front.

Perhaps I'm totally detached, but the GOPs passive rejection of this clown would normally be a major positive. Too bad Trump is just another narcassitic, self-aggrandizing, wannabe autocrat.

It was nice of the other candidates to give Trump so much extra publicity. 

It looks like the GOP nomination is well and truly over now already, but will the people vote for Hillary or a socialist?

CNN encouraged a soap-opera "debate." Nobody wins one of those. It's like asking which guest "won" a late-night comedy talk show.
