Donald Trump: The Establishment Candidate
Ron Paul's website ^ | December 18, 2015 | Ron Paul

Posted on 01/11/2016 2:28:44 PM PST by TBP

The big question is, is Donald Trump anti-establishment or is he more likely to save the current system, than to challenge it. If our current crisis that concerns so many is a consequence of a deeply flawed centrally planned economic system, manipulated by the Federal Reserve, a foreign policy of occupation and preemptive war and a systematic attack on our civil liberties here at home, how will Trump be helpful in finding a solution? Is Donald Trump arguing for any significant change in policy or is he advocating only a different management style? What policy does he actually propose that the current bipartisan leadership doesn’t support?

Even his outlandish statements attacking the liberties of Muslims as a group through sharp criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, but in the past they have supported similar policies of FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK and others. So, essentially they defend Trump’s views while pretending them to be outrageous. Essentially all of Trump’s positions have been endorsed by a majority of Republicans and Democrat leaderships. The frightened masses are flocking to this decisive leader believing that he will protect and take care of them.

Trump’s agreement with the current establishment is never mentioned

What do you make of this? Dr. Paul is one of many who sees Trump as part of the Establishment.

Sorry, I don’t buy it. Trump has been saying his issues with the Trade Deficits since the 80’s. That isn’t establishment.

His son endorsed McConnell. Why isn’t he calling him out?

Ron Paul needs to sit down and shut up.

And eat his oatmeal.

What do I make of this? I would be much more concerned if Ron Paul endorsed Trump. The fact that Ron Paul has issues with Trump is a positive for me.

“Recently, Trump has CLEARLY been for: Amnesty, Single Payer health insurance, Affirmative Action, Taxpayer funding of PP, and Progressive Tax. WHY do you TRUST him? Also he has switched parties SIX times. In his own words he says, ‘I play to people’s fantasies. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion.’”

Well, there’s a new angle of attack.

The only Politicians that are Anti Establishment are Libertarians according to Ron Paul. Could be, could be.

Both the Pauls have an “us and them” attitude, but their “us” side is so tiny that “them” is everyone else.

In effect, Libertarians behave like the Hippies of the right, waving banners like “abolish the system and replace it with something good.”

But what America needs is a conservative who enters office with a thousand point program emphasizing dismantling broad parts of the government, canceling libraries of regulations, and slashing more than a hundred and fifty years of unconstitutional management.

It won’t be easy, it won’t be pretty, and it won’t generate any good press from the zombie media. At the same time, it will be barraged by the slings and arrows of the bureaucratic mandarins, vested interests, lobbyists, foreign governments, Democrats and establishment Republicans.

These are legit questions - just being asked by the wrong person.
