I crack up every time I hear the guy say Jebs name in the high voice
There are two things to consider as the behind the scenes of this race.
The first is that the Tea Party is still functioning, though in the background, and that their *purpose* is to purge Republican liberals from the leadership. Which has had some degree of success but has a long way to go.
Seeing the primary race through this lens, a stalemate was achieved. The conservatives easily blocked the worst of the liberals, despite their having vast funding and a willingness to twist the rules in their favor. They simply did not have the numbers to foist their candidates on the rank and file again.
But at the same time, the Republican liberals were able to effectively block the more conservative candidates who used conventional campaigning tactics.
This stalemate made an effective opening for Donald Trump, who said what conservatives wanted to hear, was wealthy enough to not have to go hat in hand to wealthy donors to beg for cash, which requires a huge amount of *time*, and critically, meant that he did not have to abide the conventional rules for running a race.
Added up, he had the money and the time on his timetable to win without compromising himself.
This is one side of the coin.
On the other is the Clinton-Obama political “apparat”, a gigantic criminal-political Mafia to a great extent funded by the US government, as well as corrupt billionaires who wanted and received ‘quid pro quo’ crony capitalist deals for their support.
With the unblinking support of moneyed interests, academia and the mainstream media, almost everyone assumed that they would now perpetually steer American down the toilet, tearing it down in any and every way, diluting its power militarily, diplomatically, and especially economically, until it was a ruined shell of a nation.
They are internationalist socialists, which means three things: first, they see nations and social institutions as an impediment to one-world socialist government, so seek their destruction; second, they despise republican-democracy and crave a dictatorship of the elites, who direct a gigantic and faceless bureaucracy to rule over “the masses”, the peasants, everyone else; and third, they want “the masses” to be impoverished and dependent on government in every way, under the guise of “equality”, which is the “equality of the lowest common denominator”.
This is government by rationing all that is desirable or essential to life, especially natural things. In its final form you find widespread pollution, crumbling infrastructure, food and fresh water scarcity, misery, decay and dehumanization under a brutal surveillance state secret police.
Yet at the head of this revolting and inhuman monstrosity was a woman so grotesque, repulsive, contemptible, hypocritical, and disdainful of others that no manner of cajoling could turn the tide in her favor. To the people of sensibility, she represented the forces of darkness and evil, which was not a difficult discovery, because she radiates it in a great aura around herself.
She is not a person who imparts vitality, creativity and purpose. She sucks the music from the air, and leaves feelings of despair, despondency, enervation and depression in her wake.
Had she not done this so openly, Donald Trump might have lost. Had he been a RINO, or even a conservative, he might have lost.
Now he has four years to right what has been wronged, to fix what has been broken, and dismantle the apparat of those who hate our nation. If he succeeds, the light and prosperity and optimism will propel his reelection.
Oh btw, thats Rudy dressed up as a drag queen in that video
It’s impossible to say for sure. If the nominee had been Rubio, who was widely regarded by the Establishment as the most electable, then perhaps he would have done better in states like Nevada and Colorado, and in states where the GOP had no chance to win, like California. But I don’t think Rubio would have flipped Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin.
I agree with you. Clinton fights like a cornered rat and most republicans fight fair. Like you, I supported Cruz and even voted for him in the primary, all the while knowing that Trump was the only one with the ability to punch a woman (figuratively) like he would a man.
Whenever Clinton or the media would launch a broadside at Trump. “Back in 1994, you....” his basic response was “So?” and would move on instead of wasting precious time apologizing and promising to change or resigning.
He owned his past, talked about how he had already changed and envisioned the future.
Is bacon delicious.
Perfect response!
President-elect Trump on the other hand... He not only wanted it, he really did not want 4 or 8 more years of failed 'rat big-government socialist/fascist policies. President-elect Trump did not dance to the liberal tune. I am convinced that most if not all of his alleged "gaffes" and off-the-cuff remarks that got him so much negative attention from the MSM and 'rats were in fact carefully calculated and delivered.
Consider, these remarks, tweets, etc. kept the 'rats off their game plan, reacting to him and the MSM lapping it up. The remarks also kept the MSM paying far more attention to him - looking-for / waiting-for the next big one. They generated interest among the voters. Here was a guy unafraid to say what obviously many people felt. People came for the funnies, stuck around for the message, and ended up liking what he was really saying. In short, he played the MSM and 'rats so smoothly they didn't even realize it. Even if they did, they were trapped. They couldn't get their message out there when so many people were more interested in what he was saying or might say next. The liberals helped create the sound-bite social media generation, then got outplayed for their attention.
In short, no kid gloves, he took the gloves off and came out swinging. Remember "Because you'd be in jail." No-one else in the field of GOP candidates would have said that.
In addition to Trump? Probably Walker, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, and maybe Perry. Carson, Bush, Fiorina, Paul, Graham, and Christie would have lost to Clinton.
Your friend is wrong.
Demographics and vote fraud have reached the point that NO ONE should have been able to beat Hillary!.
Trump’s victory is nearly miraculous.
And I am not a Trump supporter. I just voted against Hillary!.
I’ll change if he tries to stick to his announced plan, though!
Hillary would have exploited his Canadian birth to no end. You can argue all that you want if he was eligible, but this would have killed him.
I think Walker could have, if we ever got any traction. I am surprised that he never did.
That’s a really good question.
I think a large chunk of the electorate is officially boycotting establishment Republicans and will from here on out.
On the other hand WikiLeaks and the server were doing tremendous damage to Hildebeast day by day. It’s a tough call.
...and he would have enjoyed it.
I think we owe it to the pollsters. I believe that the democrats truly believed the polls. They thought they had enough fraudulent votes in place to ensure a victory. I noticed something weird from the start if the vote reporting. The large cities were some of the first areas to report which is not normal. By the time they saw what was happening they didn’t have enough areas/time to manufacture enough votes to make up the difference without it being very obvious to everyone.
Biden would have won. Sanders is too hard to tell. He picks up kids and loses the blacks
Cruz would have been an ineffective but technically great debater. Cruz would have been spanked.
lol..true that!
Ted Cruz came the next closest, though still missing the target by a country mile.
Both men “severely conservative “.
Cruz might have been able to win, although he would not have been able to talk over the MSM’s head like Trump has done throughout the campaign. In light of this I would have to judge Cruz’s ability to win as being very improbable.
