Serious civil unrest and war got Republican Richard Nixon elected president almost 50 years ago.
That was in 1968. The same could work for Donald Trump in 2016.
The country was torn apart in the '60s with anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, race riots and the burning of neighborhoods and cities in Watts, Newark, Detroit and elsewher

The punks in Detroit met the 82nd airborne. LMAO.
The thing I’ve always wondered is what would happen to rioters if you had 5 or 6 Apache gunships open up with the miniguns on them?
And what effect this would have, if any, on the likelihood of future riots?
Yeah, the democrats rioting doomed Hubert Humphrey’s presidential hopes in 1968. Definitely feels like that all over again.
This is not 1968. This isn’t about race relations, though the CIC wants it to be. This is about 60 years of failed Democrat policies and 8 years of extreme leadership failure.
While there are parallels to the 60’s the situation is much different today.
My how the media has changed direction.
The lies are still there but the targets are 180 degrees in the opposite direction.
The difference is, in 1968 the enemy wasn’t migrating to our soil.
Kerry is trying to re-live his glory days as an anti-war protestor, and Sharpton and Jackson are still trying to be the next MLK and revive the civil rights struggle so they can becom immortal and have streets and schools named after them.
Obama...well he just wants to be da King of everybody.
Thank you ripnbang worth repeating!!! Its a keeper:
This is about 60 years of failed Democrat policies and 8 years of extreme leadership failure.
Posse comitatus.
Not allowed.
Besides, do you really want to set that precedent?
Remember, the Democrats want to kill off the NRA - and sooner or later they are getting back into power.
What war?
Near as I can tell Obama has surrendered pretty much every place on the globe where he can.
Only with the help of the media a dream come true for them they need a story to take all the problems away from the democrats caused.
A line I wish one (or more) speakers would use, maybe even for commercials: All this “progress” from the Democrats ... they’ve progressed us all the way back to 1968. Yeah.
I recall the 82 leave Bragg.
Yes, the 82nd backed up the guard and the machine guns did some serious work to shut the punks up.
I remember seeing APCs on the streets - it was a bad time and looks like we’re heading for the same violence all over again. There are many groups who are pushing the envelope, hoping things will explode. Detroit was gutted and then they came up with a new concept called the “Renaissance”. It didn’t really work though...
