Can Trump Be Stopped?
Submitted by Patrick Buchanan via Buchanan.org,
Three months ago, this writer sent out a column entitled, “Could Trump Win?” meaning the Republican nomination.
Today even the Trump deniers concede the possibility.
And the emerging question has become: “Can Trump be stopped? And if so, where, and by whom?”
Consider the catbird seat in which The Donald sits.
An average of national polls puts him around 30 percent, trailed by Dr. Ben Carson with about 20 percent. No other GOP candidate gets double digits.
Trump is leading Carson in Iowa, running first in New Hampshire, crushing the field in Nevada and South Carolina. These are the first four contests. In Florida, Trump’s support exceeds that of ex-Governor Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio combined.
If these polls don’t turn around, big time, Trump is the nominee.
And with Thanksgiving a month off, then the Christmas season, New Year’s, college football playoffs and NFL playoffs, the interest of the nation will drift away, again and again, from politics.
Voting begins Feb. 1 in Iowa. Super Bowl Sunday is Feb. 7. And the New Hampshire primary will likely be on Tuesday, Feb. 9.
We are only three months out, and Trump still holds the high cards.
After months of speeches and TV appearances, he is a far more disciplined campaigner and communicator. In a year when a huge slice of the nation is disgusted with political correctness, wants to dethrone the establishment, wipe the slate clean and begin anew with someone fresh, Trump is in the pole position.
His issues — secure the border, send illegal immigrants back, renegotiate rotten trade deals that shipped our jobs abroad — are more in tune with the national mood than pro-amnesty, Obamatrade or NAFTA.
Wall Street Journal conservatism is in a bear market.
Trump says he will talk to Vladimir Putin, enforce the nuclear deal with Iran, not tear it up on Inauguration Day, and keep U.S. troops out of Syria. And South Korea should pay more of the freight and provide more of the troops for its own defense.
A nationalist, and a reluctant interventionist, if U.S. interests are not imperiled, Trump offers a dramatic contrast to the neocons and Hillary Clinton, the probable Democratic nominee. She not only voted for the Iraq war Trump opposed, but she helped launch the Libyan war.
The lights are burning late tonight in the suites of the establishment tonight. For not since Sen. Barry Goldwater won the California primary in 1964 have their prospects appeared so grim.
Can Trump be stopped?
Absent some killer gaffe or explosive revelation, he will have to be stopped in Iowa or New Hampshire. A rival will have to emerge by then, strong enough and resourced enough to beat him by March.
The first hurdle for the establishment in taking down Trump is Carson. In every national poll, he is second. He’s sitting on the votes the establishment candidate will need to overtake Trump.
Iowa is the ideal terrain for a religious-social conservative to upset Trump, as Mike Huckabee showed in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012.
But Carson has preempted part of the Evangelical and social conservative vote. Moreover, Sen. Ted Cruz, an anti-establishment man, is working Iowa and has the forensic abilities to rally social conservatives.
Should Trump fall, and his estate go to probate, Cruz’s claim would seem superior to that of any establishment favorite.
Indeed, for an establishment-backed candidate — a Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal — to win Iowa, he must break out of the single-digit pack soon, fend off Cruz, strip Carson of part of his following, then overtake Trump. A tall order.
Yet, the battle to consolidate establishment support has begun. And despite his name, family associations, size of his Super PAC, Jeb has lost ground to Marco Rubio. Look to Marco to emerge as the establishment’s last best hope to take down Trump.
But if Trump wins in Iowa, he wins in New Hampshire.
The Iowa Caucuses then, the first contest, may well be decisive. If not stopped there, Trump may be unstoppable. Yet, as it is a caucus state where voters stick around for hours before voting, organization, intensity and endless labor can pay off big against a front-runner.
In Iowa, for example, Ronald Reagan was defeated by George H. W. Bush in 1980. Vice President Bush was defeated by Bob Dole and Pat Robertson in 1988. Reagan and Bush I needed and managed comeback victories in New Hampshire. One cannot lose Iowa and New Hampshire.
Thus, today’s task for the Republican establishment.
Between now and March, they must settle on a candidate, hope his rivals get out of the race, defeat Trump in one of the first two contests, or effect his defeat by someone like Carson, then pray Trump will collapse like a house of cards.
The improbabilities of accomplishing this grow by the week, and will soon start looking, increasingly, like an impossibility - absent the kind of celestial intervention that marked the career of the late Calvin Coolidge.

And his running mate?... Will be...
Larry Silverstein!
Trump is controlled opposition. If they're allowed on network television, they are part of the problem.
baby trump not like answer,,,Baby Trump SMASH!
Sure he can, because the Queen is dead, and long live the queens.
" The first hurdle for the establishment in taking down Trump is Carson"
What fools. Ben Carson is another anti-establishment candidate. Get rid of him, and Trump will surge 10-15%. Maybe even more, as supporters of other candidates defect at the extraordinary show of strength.
Article presupposes that Trump needs to be stopped.
But, anyone can be stopped. Could JFK be stopped? Q.E.D.
"Lets make America great again!"
Vote Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump!
Any voter with a brain will avoid career politicians, no matter what that means. That and the fact he doesn't use PC speech is Trump's appeal. You can only beat him with another outsider.
problem is we have seen the destruction the Dems have done -- Piglosi, Reed and their ring leader O'Bozo.
Same for the career Repugnicans...disasters, all of them. Almost none of them represents the traditional Republican base. I heard Newt the other day who said the disconnect between gubmint and the people has never been greater. He admitted the Rep are way out in left field almost more then the Dems. He's right.
The Rep can't even get their act together in Congress right now they are so greedy and disorganized. And all you hear from "Jeb" is moar war and that his brother's Iraq disaster was a "success." Is ole' Jeb crazy or what?!
So I see no choice right now but The Donald.
It is not possible to stop the God Emperor.
...maybe if you are a Lord of Chaos.
Politics aside, the entertainment value of a Trump Presidency will more than cover the ticket price. God, I wish I could IPO this act.
not that I will vote and give any sociopath my consent to continue to sell us all down the river and destroy this country even further.
But why should Trump be stopped? Even I doubt he would be as bad or worse than the current sociopath, Taitor-and-Cheat, occupying more golf courses than the Oval Office right now.
Sure, I'd rather the next President be many other people. Lew Rockwell, Ron Paul, Mark Levin, and I could name many others and I'm you all could name many other good people too.
But as always most of those people aren't who "we" get to "choose" from.
It's early yet though...if Trump can hang onto this lead, win the Primary, and face off against whatever scumbag the Marxists put up against him, then you bet he would be better to at least try out for 4 years.
If he wants someone like me to vote for him though, then he needs to start talking about what great people he would surround himself with and also tell us how quickly he will wipe out every fucking worthless, un-Constitutional, treasonous, gov-scum agency that does massive harm to our country and our rights and liberty.
You know all of which scumbag agencies I mean. Start w/ TSA, DHS, and on and on and on.
I don't hear Trump talking about ending the Fed and the IRS. That would bring me back to casting a fucking vote for the first time in a while.
I could list a ton of other things and I know you all could too.
But is it really worth the time? I still won't ever believe that anyone is ever going to try to abolish even one of these fuckings things much less ever achieve it if they tried to do so.
Kennedy was made an example of in that respect. Let's hear Trump talk about bringing back real phyzz silver and gold money. It'll never happen.
Best bet is just to let it all fall down and keep preparing ourselves and others for whatever will come next after the collapse and reset of the monetary system and all the chaos that will ensue during that period. It will be ugly.
Keep stackin' supplies and phyzz, folks. It's all still on sale!!!
Fall guy for the collapse.
Sure they can stop him. They can "Dean scream" him, they could "Kerry windsurf" him, they could produce pictures of him in a tank, or fucking a goat. If all else fails they can JFK him.
All tthings they usually reserve for the donkeys, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
~"But Carson has preempted part of the Evangelical and social conservative vote. Moreover, Sen. Ted Cruz, an anti-establishment man, is working Iowa and has the forensic abilities to rally social conservatives."~
What?!?! Look, Buchanan hasn't been relevant since Reagan. He's as GOPe as Karl Rove. This is all masturbatorial intellectualizing bullshit so he can get paid a paycheck.
The GOPe is working hard to set things up so they can still push Jeb. Personally, in the back of my mind is the fear that Trump will pull a Ross Perot. The man is a narcissist and fascist on a colossal scale who reminds me of Benito Mussolini. He's no Hitler, (doesn't have as good speaking chops as ol' Adolf had), but he's certainly in Mussolini's league. The country is ripe for a dictator too. It is hard to argue that both Hitler and Mussolini got their respective countries out of the Depression.
Isn't it curious that the GOPe did not extract the same "not run as a 3rd party candidate" out of Carson or Cruz, (or any other of the GOP contenders)? Just Trump. Curious indeed.
Even if Trump wins, his goofy hair will fall out when he's taken into a room with a few men he's never seen or heard of and realizes what's really going on.
The truth is anyone running for president right now is an imbecile. If you have half a brain you know the next person will preside over the largest debt implosion the human race has ever seen, and likely, be forced to participate in the largest armed conflict in human history.
Obama must be doing everything in his power to postone the ordeal until he's on a safe beach somewhere far away from here.
When that day comes, if Trump is smart he'll have a .45 under his jacket, he'll whip it out and start popping caps in some asses. The prez blowing away the spooks who were trying to intimidate him would be the best day ever.
But probably not. :-(
CNN in full Donald slam mode last night
They had 4 psuedo pundit assholes lambasting him.
Fuck those fuckers.
Yeah, but was anyone watching?
Megyn still seems to have Trump disease (self inflicted)...every time she reports on his continuing progress, she looks like she´s fighting menstrual cramps.
Isn't that exactly what Trump said?!?
DaddyO
If you don't vote for Trump you are whacko!
"Isn't that exactly what Trump said?!?"
Only a deviant would think something like that! ; )
Just connecting the dots...
DaddyO
Why do you people continue to watch TV especially any shitty news. TV and Zollywood are total shit.
All that does is piss people off and strengthen Trump's support. Everyone is so sick and tired of CNN and the rest of the mainstream media. Bring it on, fools, and watch his numbers rise.
Trump is not just 'controlled opposition', he is the media side attraction, by having Trump-theatrics the media has an excuse to avoid looking into the Clinton or Bush dirty closets.
These elections always work out the same, some distracting candidate for three of four primaries, the party goes behind one and is nominated at the convention without discussion (no one in 2012 was discussed at Tampa other than Romney) Maine who supported Ron Paul was practically kicked out of the joint.
America will not be fixed, improved or changed by politicians, we are past the point of 'return'. Enjoy the entertainment value the Trumpster brings to the diode screen, it may be the last good laugh we get.
Now, if we could just build a colossus of a coliseum with trap doors and hidden entry ways we could get all the politicians to fight to the death for our entertainment.
They're giving trump some line. After it's too late for a second candidate to gather support/money, the rug will be jerked out from under trump. Hillary wins by default. (See Perot)
Perot came back in to throw the election to Clinton as payment for his assistance with Iran Contra. That whole Mena Arkansas affair wasn't run without the help of then Gov. Bill. Pres. Bush #1 was able to comfortably lose the election without causing undue suspicion. It worked out pretty well actually.
Your cowardice boot-licking fear of TPTB makes me sick! So do all of you Pussies that post here on ZH who say you want 'change' then defer to this mystical 'power' of those in charge. Get some courage pussies and make a stand. Boycott any purchases from any company with a ticker symbol unless your livlihood depends on it. Then, get a different occupation. Do not participate in their corrupt world. Speak out about it without fear. There is no other way. As for Trump, well, he may be the only non-career political choice and be a start. We need to shake things up and letb these sociopaths know they are done rapinng and pillaging us. Be a Man and not a sheep! Baaaaaaaa!

Hell if Trump did get elected, he might change the color of the bathroom, like Carla did at HP.
I think the PUSSY boy named Jeb inhailed....... Too many pestisides there in FLA
They need to get behind Trump NOW.
If they try to crush him, they will only split or alienate voters.
If they were REAL smart, they would form the Trump/Carson ticket early, and start selling their program.
That's what Hillary is for.
To drive everyone, except the most insane libs, to vote for Trump.
"If they were REAL smart, they would form the Trump/Carson ticket early, and start selling their program."
Yes, I agree. If Trump places first, and Carson second, in the upcoming primaries, it´s time for those two to sit down and hammer out a joint ticket. No doubt, they could work out a deal. They would all but clinch the nomination outright.
I would then expect Clinton to go all in with Sanders as VP almost immediately afterward.
They did look to get some common ground on the vaccination situation... they could start there to announce their ticket and play good cop bad cop on all their issues to sell it to either side
You really think Sanders would accept the job of VP under Hilary?
Yes.
Hitlery's health is not good.
Maybe Sanders could "accelerate" her health problems to become pres.
It's what communists do!
Yes that is what they do. Just ask Trotsky or whatever his real name was.
Trump’s past must be filled with unsavory actions and tells.
So far this has been avoided but one can bet if he faces Hillary Clinton he will have to spend plenty of time defending or explaining his history. He may be the very candidate the Clinton Machine wants to face.
If the American people can accept now that he is no squeaky clean candidate but has the potential to put this country back on a competitive track then he will do well. Just know we will be electing no angel but an angel is not what we need.
And what of Hitlary's past? She's an angel alright; an angel from Hell and spawn of Satan himself. Bush and that clan not far behind although they mask it better...
Satan wouldn't waste his time extruding that puss filled bag of excrement from his anus.
Both Jeb and Clinton are Rockfeller fronts: A Bush uncle was with the Rockefeller brothers in Cleveland when they built Big Oil on unredressed murder and arson in the 1870's; Killery is Winthrop's yard-baby's beard.
Trump vs Clinton ?
Trump will emerge the cleanest dirty shirt.
In the general elections, voters will trade almost anything for broder control.
"Lets make America great again!"...
And tell the truth about how America bankrupts itself through "false flag" operation(s) and everyone elses expense that killed and displaced millions of lives to maintain a reserve currency it no longer "can"!
Fixed it for ya!!!
I'd like to see him, or any other candidate, come out and say that 911 was an inside job.
The Republican "Establishment" can bite my Crank.
That's why I went Libertarian years ago.
Right now, GO TRUMP!
***
They called me for money a while back. I laughed and laughed and then hung up the phone on those rotten, slimy, phoney, shit sucking bastards.
Trump/Carson, unstoppable! Nobody with a brain is voting for Hillary, nobody with a functioning brain will vote for the Bern.
tmosley - Agree with you. Pat Buchanan has been inside the Beltway for so long he doesn't get it.
Trump is controlled opposition. If they're allowed on network television, they are part of the problem.
And his comments on the trail Monday proves your statement correct ch!
You'll never hear "the Donald" mention "9/11" and "buildings falling" in the same sentence ever again.
He's been warned!!!
I'll take the other side of that pussy bet:
You'll never hear "the Donald" mention "9/11" and "buildings falling" in the same sentence ever again.
I'll bet the Truth of that con-job cmes out soon...
That is their fear - sooner or later someone asks - would one of your buildings fall down if a plane hit it ?
And then - what are the conditions for your building to falll down ?
Other than a nuclear device or THERMITE - it wouldn't happen
I'll bet the Truth of that con-job cmes out soon...
I know... He forgot to mention Building 7 and only mentioned the Twin Tower(s)!
Pussy shill!!!
https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/10/23/3663/
Controlled opposition is not an unprecedented happening or thought.
It seems to me there was a lot of that, stuff done to confuse. Pay attention to the Consensus.
Haven't voted in decades but if he's on the ballot, I'll do so - just to see how they have him murdered.
Or watch him renege on everyone of his pledges.
That's very possible but given the "choices" we will be given, Trump is da friggin' man!
I'd much prefer Mitch McConnell in the wh but I'll have to settle for Trump.
You forgot the '/s'.
I wonder what "they" have on McConnell in his control file to blackmail him into being such a pussy?
If he had any honor he would have resigned long ago and outed himself!
Still suspicous of what well might be a Trojan Trump.
Using the Øsurper election plan [saying all the right things to move a large portion of one grand voting block gaining their unfettered loyalty] with precision is one curious point of many.
Wake me up when there's a candidate, in this forsaken land.
pfft
No
Where's the whale cartoon from yesterday? Insert here.
Make Amerika Grate Again
He'd be America's most hated President according to ZH yesterday LOL.
That slots already taken.
Wonder when they'll sit him down and have 'the Ross Perot talk' with him ?
Yeah, Perot was a billionaire, too (and more of a hardass than Trump. Perot set up an op to rescue his kidnapped employees. After death threats to his familr, Perot dropped out.)
They hate us for our freedom, ya know
Took the words right out of my mouth.
This Bill Hicks classic comes to mind in a "smokey room"!...
The country wasn't in bad enough shape for the masses to really consider Perot. Now however, times have changed and the timing is right for the Donald. Trump has the flash that Perot never had. No comparison.
This is EXACTLY why I will only support a celibate hermit for any high office. You have to want to serve badly enough to give your all.
Your nom de plume reverberates loudly...
DaddyO
"This is EXACTLY why I will only support a celibate hermit for any high office"
So, you're writing the Pope in for prez?
Which ticket?
Perot was a creep and a hypocrite, run out of the Navy to make his billions off the Federal Government...nothing but a sop to keep the ball in play for Satan should the People reject both adulterers, Bush1 and Clinton.
My opinion also. Perot got out of the race because it looked like he would win. His job was to assure clinton's election by garnering 1/2 the repug vote. BS story of daughter and photos and threats to family was just cover. Why did he then get back into the race? Why did he run 4 years later and assure clinton's 2nd term.
I hope the Donald isn't the same.
Day ending in y where the end of DJT's campaign is proclaimed. And lol@the article's tags...
DJT'16
No mention of Paul even though he has the best ground game in Iowa. Trump has no real support, its a media farce and I see Zerohedge feeds that narrative for page views...
Aquabuddha? nah.
What the fuck,,do you get out after 4pm?....P.S. Your fly is down..

Standard Disclaimer: Can't spell TRIUMPH without TRUMP... (okay, that was sarcasm)
If baby Rand was serious why not give up his senate seat? That would enable him to dedicate full effort for the campaign instead of subordinating his responsibilities as senator of his constituents in KY. Can't do that... I NEED A BACKUP PLAN...What a trooper…
Ron Paul is a smart man but he couldn't articulate his way out of a phone booth. His suits never fit him and he looked like a fuller brush salesman.
He would have made a good president..
Think about this ,,,would the Ammerikan's vote for the Abe today?
Not that he was any day at the beach..
Rand Paul's wife is the "man of the family."
All this shows is how far out of touch the corrupt Republican party really is, they will do just about anything to stop an outsider from defeating one of their hand picked losers like Dole, McCain, or Romney. Fucking pathetic.
Its the demorepublicrap party and theyre what the now
land of the slaves & home of the cowards produce
(It takes a lot more courage to question the b.s. youve been taught to believe your whole life, than to go off to some war youre clueless about)
The Republican establishment HAS to lose! That's the deal they made with the Demoncrats.
scott adams (of dilbert fame) put a major pimp-slapping on jeb today: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/131624548446/robots-read-news-about-trump-a...
Thanks, that was funny.
+ 10 moar!
Who gives a fuck.
The real issue is the need to overthrow the shadow government that is merely a corporation (in bankruptcy).
Until we restore the true Republic politics is literally nothing more than a distraction intentionally designed to keep you from understanding and absorbing what is truly taking place. And yet so many people still take this bait and get all fired up about red/blue and left/right. Sad and pathetic doesn't begin to describe this.
I'm writing in McKinney. She got bumped after she refused to pledge allegiance to that scumbag Netanyahu. That's good enough for me given the options.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
The Ross Perot talk will never work with Trump as much as the NWO want to try and paint Trump with the Clinton brush.
This is a matter of survival for Trump. It just so happens that the middle-class benefits from Trump's attack on 'the way things currently are', which is why his support is unwavering and increasing.
Let's see, Trumps bodyguards against the CIA, Defense Dept, whatever mercenary contract killers they hire, etc, etc, etc
Yeah, that oughta work.
Though a big fat bribe wrapped in the threat will probably work just fine.
There will never be a solution that comes outta D.C.
P.S. - do some people actually think they 'play fair' ? When the whole world's wealth and all that power is at stake ? It ain't Disneyland, children.
of course he can be stopped - JFK was stopped
+1 The epitome of "going rogue", and paying for it with your life.
There will never be a solution that comes outta D.C.
Sure there is. But I do not believe any state is ready to go down that road. The solution is Seccession. Stop playing by thier rules and create your own. But that will never happen as long as there exists the Caitlin and the Kardashians.
Oh, there will be a solution out of DC, all right, if Trump can't win.
Box cars and train rides, one-way to "camps," torture, murder in the middle of the night, etc etc. while Hitlery cackles away and reads another spell from her Witch Book of Spells.
I think that's Hillary's plan for anyone that didn't vote for her.
That wouldnt come outta D.C.
Bribes may have worked in 1992 with Perot before the fiat currency was being devalued at a rapid pace for the 1%. The inflation rate for the super-rich is currently astronomical so they see what is barreling down upon them.
There is a reason many people said the the attendees of the World Economic Forum were in a state of panic.
Trump's ego actually helps the middle-class in this situation.
Trump, a big middle finger to the republican establishment. Yes, I support the Donald.
No Trump. No chance of a R president. (Regardless of whether it'll matter or not... and if you think it doesn't matter, then another 4MY of OBistro should be viewed as just fine.)
First Things First, Knux. I have to disagree. The Trumpster CAN win (I think).
(I must rub my ruby tennis shoes together for luck).
I think Trump may be as surprised as the pundits with his strong showing and staying power...
At 69, his use of political viagra is masterful!
DaddyO
I doubt Trump is surprised. He has very powerful self-belief, which is obvious.
He has proved far superior to all in the politicians and the establishment in his use of the media, and in particular his judoesque use of media attacks to build his campaign.
I think Carson has learned some lessons from Trump about not backing down when attacked by the media for non-PC statements. That is helping Carson though I doubt he would have done so without the prior demonstration by Trump of how effective it is in building support. The wafflers have all fallen away.
I didn't mean that Trump can't win! I mean that if the GOP chooses somebody else, they got 0 chance of winning ... Right now Trump's the only option they got
And I'm sure they'll at least try to fuck it up
https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/10/21/lebowski-enlightenment-8/
After you read that, ask yourself where your attention should be directed?
Donald Trump is such a distraction. It is so far past time to burn the GD edifice to the ground. That is bad, don't do that, however good it will make you feel, the situation is worse the next day.
Instead, you have to walk away. We need to turn our back on this bunch of lying scum and go be honest community with each other. I like this guy, everyone should read him too.
http://www.freemansperspective.com/saturday-night-starbucks/
Be armed and prepared as a community, don't make trouble, but walk away. Take your kids out of school, disconnect the TV, read my web site for tips on critical thinking while I invest your mind with my ideas. While I impair your mind's ability to think un-critically. My site changes minds, you have been warned. Far worse, I giggle, actually chortle maniacally, about things I write, and you just can't trust a person like that.
C'Mon, ZHers! Get with the Program! Let's go for the Big Win! The Trumpster, Dr Carson and Fiorina are the only non- pro-political guys running! The others are all dogshit you wanna wipe off your shoes! We can make a ticket out of those three, although I would rather have Ron Paul, but he is retired.
The politicians, like the media serve their purpose.
They fool the sheep into believing they don't live in a pen.
Half right - Fiorina is an establishment neocon through and through.
I'd rather vote for a cactus than another Clinton or Bush. The establishment has done such a job they certainly deserve a nice long rest.
If Bush 2 gets the credit for electing Obomber then the establishment will certainly deserve credit for electing a Trump.
The system is truely broken when the choice is always between bad and worse.
"I'd rather vote for a cactus than another Clinton or Bush. The establishment has done such a job they certainly deserve a nice long rest."
Rand or Carson, wouuld better serve the people than Trump would ever do. Trumps Hat read "Make America Great Again" on the from, and "For Me" on the back.
That Said, the GOP is finishing winning presidental elections. The FSA movement has taken over, and all that matters is the candidate and party that offers the most free stuff. It would surprise me that the GOP will also booted out of Congress and lose it majority again. Especially if they continue to stall on the Budget battle. Who knows if they fall to increase the Debt Ceiling in a couple more weeks, Obozo is likely to use his emergency powers to sieze control.
Trump is Perot...a heat sink for libertarian disaffection who will undoubtedly take a dive at a very critical moment. Hillary is the plutocrat's choice for the next puppet in chief. Exercise your right to vote only if you want to engage in an exercise in futility.
Trump = Hopium. Sad. Hope springs eternal, though. Go ahead and vote for the billionaire who suckered people into casinos in AC and see where it gets you. You *do* realize that I am well aware that Hillary is the ultimate in political sleaze, no? Not a fan of voting, that's all...just do not buy the legitimacy of the party.
Wow...look at all the suckers who think a billionaire is their friend. Is Oprah your friend, too? Yuk!
Trump is a billionaire. If you are an ordinary working stiff, billionaires are not your friends. Sorry. My guess is the last thing a billionaire really wants is some dull bureaucratic Washington job like President of the USA. Therefore, forget about Trump. In fact, forget about democracy...that's over. Save yourself and kiss off the rest of us.
I can honestly picture him going through the personnel at every alphabet agency and saying "You're fired"...
Standard Disclaimer: Somedays it's all about the ego.
"In fact, forget about democracy...that's over."
Ok, I'll forget about Democracy.. since we've never been a Democracy. History much?
Perhaps you have nothing worth saving, no family or grandchildren who's future is at risk but many of us do and many of us have faced impossible odds and won because we had no choice and quitting is not in our dna. Same is true for the country, it's still worth the fight.
Not trying to be cute here but the 'trump' card for America has always been it's foundation in Natural Law; this is our country, not theirs. By of and for the people. True, the Progressives have succeeded in co-opting much of the government and taking over the public schools for two generations, hence we have a functionally iliterate block of voters. Have you checked out the Home Schooling trend lately? My grandchildren are 2nd gen home schooled, they play piano, write books, help in their community and they can pick off a squirrel at 100yds with a .22.
My head's not in the sand, I know we have a bunch of immense problems to deal with, but maybe an outsider like Trump or Carson could help us turn the tide. Ready for battle if it comes to that but always hopeful.
History much? The United States of America has never, in fact, been a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. Sorry to be the one to inform you...very, very sorry.
no need to be sorry, that was my point.
There are no billionaire outsiders...they're the ones who run it, my friend.
Who will I personally vote for in the next election? Election? Vote? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...
Election? Vote?
Yeah, right . . . . .
The country is in dire need of a national "Quit Voting" campaign. Suppress turnout to under 10%, then let the jackwads who make office try to maintain their claims of legitimacy for their looting.
Seriously.
Right on..when the rubes tumble, the plutocrats will tremble.
I prefer torches and pitchforks.
People will never be free, if they continue to beg others to grant them their freedom. You are already free, you don't have to 'vote' someone in office to give you what is already yours.
And you know what else ? We're all going to die someday. No way around that.
If everyone Got that, they would have the courage to free themselves right now & they wouldnt give a damn about any sleaze bag politicians or any other false 'authority'.
Hey, at least he makes it interesting; bottom line is that whatever gets elected [man, woman, vegetable] will NOT make an iota of difference...The USA is on a crash course and the steering wheel is broken, the throttle is stuck and it ain't look'in pretty...

McShitstain is very definition of "batshit" crazy.
Isn't that cocksucker running, too?
He and Miss Graham on a ticket?
(Shiver)
He and Miss Graham on a ticket?
Betcha they got a whole lot of K-Y jelly on that bus . . . .
All candidates want more war. Military Industrial Complex money doesn't apply to Trump so why does he want more war?
Actually Trump does not want more war. He is the one candidate who has said he respects and can deal with Putin; that the US should not be intervening in Ukraine; that the US should let Putin get on destroying ISIS; and that the US should not have invaded Iraq.
>Trump deniers ...
Heh, he said "Trump deniers".
Ah, Pat, Pat, Pat, if you didn't have that anti-semitic kink, you coulda been a contender.
The Republican party teeters on the edge of losing its entire base. They seem to be fine with that, as they suffer the delusion that Jeb Bush will be able to replace that base with "moderate" voters that don't exist.
If they install Jeb Bush, not only will Republicans go the way of the Whigs, they may usher in a complete radicalization of most of the country.
GO TRUMP!
LOL, Buchanan kicked his ass in the Reform Party primary, so I guess there's that.
ALL Kabuki theater to me.
The only important question in the US Presidential race is, "What does Israel want?".
Trump will be trumped; it is all part of the Presidential reality show...only a fool votes at the state or national levels given any fool knows they are corrupt to the core and that Presidents are selected and Congress gives the illusion of a Constitution. Better be concerned about the next life; be reconciled to Jesus while you can, for the things written have come to pass and the future is going to get much much worse.
Edited here ------
Always few bigger fools who hate Jesus and His people because they are the only ones who tell the truth, know the truth, practice the truth and the world lies in the lap of Satan, who was a liar and murderer from the beginning. People hate the truth because it exposes their darkened hearts. Pride and arrogance prevent them from humbling themselves before King Jesus so they can be forgiven and healed. Do not be a fool or fooled; look around and see the direction the world is headed; it is as it was foretold and it gets much worse.
Sectarian factionalism is treason in God's true and prophesied "Israel," the actual "Promised Land," even though Immanuel was God Incarnate crucified by the same satanic false-Jew Talmuid/papist faction now seeking to crucify America, Isaiah's foretold "Zion."

I agree. In my opinion, stacking Trump against all the rest, I see no reason why, if the election were held tomorrow, you wouldn't want Trump as your President. He's been challenging the Republican status quo on a variety of issues and he continues to change and make terse the dialogue by shutting down the bullshit - and the fact that its making the media freak out - is every reason why he should be your president. Seriously, the rest are career politicians and it will be Trump, plus the 2nd best out of the bunch running on the Republican ticket - and I can think of a shit pile worse than this.
Ben Carson is the only candidate with integrity; does anyone know what that is and what that looks like in your everyday life?
Jimmy Carter was a man of integrity -- but a hopeless president.
I doubt Carson, who does seem to be a very decent man, would be as bad as Carter, but the risk of him being captured by the beltway advisors is high. It is also unlikely, given his background, that he will act decisively and dramatically on what needs to be done to restore the American economy as a manufacturing one. Trump is more likely to do so.
Carson has also bought into the MIC line of Putin and Russia are bad and must be defeated. To his credit he has been speaking out about the muslim invasion and the impassable inconsistency between islam and republican democracy under the Constitution.
Who is the guy they are ALL hammering? Trump. Therefore, he is the best man for Prez.
Earlier I said Trump was Perot. Similarly, Bernie Sanders is Ron Paul. Now, I know how improbable that must sound. An old socialist and an old libertarian are being equated? Right, because while both speak fine, populist words, neither of these two oldsters will ever win power. Give it up...
Voting will not save you. You might just as well stay home and pray if you "think" that way.
I'm not looking for salvation, just someone to kick the establishment in their political correctness.
At least you are an honest sinner who will die in your sin apart from Christ and you have no idea what that means and if you could understand it, then you would run to Jesus.
Is he running on the Green Party ticket?
