Obama represented a revolution of sorts, his carefully contrived image notwithstanding.

History has shown us that revolutions almost never return liberty to the people; they almost always just replace a bastard-in-power with a worse bastard.

We need a revolt as opposed to another revolution or a counter-revolution. The GOP establishment understands that this is the motive force behind the tea party, and they try to manage it and defuse it. I don’t think that Trump is the ultimate standard bearer of that revolt, but he is showing the way by being unapologetically politically incorrect.

Overall I would agree with that but for one point. We have all known the way per se. Trump hasn’t said anything we don’t discuss to death regularly. The same goes for any of the pundits really. So we all know the way. The advantage of Trump or someone like him is that he has the guts -and- the microphone/force of will big enough to force the issue.

That’s a beautiful thing but we have to remember the words of the man last week RE healthcare.

“Sorry Conservatives”.

It is what it is..
