The Case for Trump and a Look at 2020
american thinker ^ | 4/8/2019 | Elise Cooper

Posted on 04/08/2019 9:03:21 AM PDT by bitt

The Case for Trump by the political and military scholar Victor Davis Hanson is a book dedicated to the "Deplorables." It is a fact-based analysis of why Donald Trump was able to win the presidency in 2016. Beyond that, Hanson sat down with American Thinker and discussed the presidential election in 2020.

Donald Trump ran against both political parties and the East Coast establishment in the 2016 presidential election. He was the first man ever elected to the nation's highest office without prior experience in government, politics, or the military. In a nutshell, Trump appealed to a forgotten but sizable portion of the population: the working and middle classes most negatively impacted by decades of globalism. Through direct quotes from various individuals on both sides, Hanson makes a powerful case that the elite of both parties hold immense disdain for these middle Americans.

Hanson told American Thinker, "He was not supposed to win. With the victory, he interrupted sixteen years of a planned progressive agenda. This election was a referendum on prior credibility. His victory meant all those who were consulted in the past would be isolated because Trump was not necessarily going to listen to those in the World Bank, the Brookings Institution, Hoover Institution where I work, and the Council on Foreign Affairs, nor was he going to call past presidents for advice. This was an affront to the entire political establishment."

With the victory, he interrupted sixteen years of a planned progressive agenda.

I would argue that Reagan's win did the same. I believe this would be an inherently Socialist country by now if Carter had won a second term.

And the proof is in the fact that the Left has NEVER forgiven Reagan for this.

"the Democrats, who have alienated the middle classes," would need to get "95% of the black vote, 75% of the Asian vote, 75% of the Hispanic vote, and 70% of the Jewish vote.

But they have 100 per cent of the illegal alien vote and 100 percent of the Dead vote and the Illegal Alien minority will prove to be far the largest minority in America on election day if the whole election system is not rationally reformed in the next year and a half. The Social Democrat cities in each state will control their states' vote count producing enough votes to pur their states in the SD column. So far there is no penalty for such chicanery and meek acceptance of the "vote count" howevr derived by Republicans.

True. The plan in 1980 was for Carter to bring in whatever nirvana they were due complete with that Benjamin Creme guy touting the soon appearance of the Matreiah (sp?).

Then the plan in 2016 was for Hillary to finalize whatever nirvana they would finally achieve with her as the great mother earth goddess reigning supreme and giving them all the achieved Omega Point evolution.

For some odd reason none of them reckoned God would have his way with the forces of satan and all the pervy demon-lovers just plumb lucked out.

ALEC BALDWIN CHANNELS HILLARY: "I promise I'll win....it's so easy to beat Trump.

Next Baldwin will be pounding out the approved Democrat message: "those deplorables are at it again;
as Hillary said, they're a bunch of Nazis who are racist, sexist, homophobic, a xenophobic and religious bigots."
