From Buchanan's op-ed:
SCan millionaires and billionaires who back open borders, mass immigration, globalization and the disappearance of nation states into transnational collectives overwhelm with their millions spent in ads the patriotic movements that arose this year to the wonderment of America and the world? Has that proud 18th century boast of Americans, “Here, sir, the people rule!” given way to the rule of the oligarchs?
Whatever his many flaws and inconsistencies, this is the best reason to support Trump. The alternative is turning over the political process to Dauphins like the younger Bushes, to manipulative party oligarchs like Romney, to and little aspiring ministers of propaganda like Karl Rove, the Fox News talking heads, and the neoconservatives.

“After reading the article, I would say and agree with some that what everyone is afraid of is NOT Hillary, but Trump going in the Oval Office and then letting the World and the American People just how corrupt and underhanded, backstabbed, liars, crooks and thieves our government really is!!!”
This is Frank Capra’s “ Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”
TIMES TEN !!
Who cares if they defect? We are trying to eliminate these people anyway.
Interesting point.
I hadn’t thought of him revealing the corruption.
Ha ha ha, good one. You’re right.
Cruz is owned just like Rubio. You jumped to the Paul conclusion.
Don’t underestimate the power of the GOPe consultant class.
If Trump wins other highly competent successful citizens will know they too can run WITHOUT being accepted by ‘Consultants’ who tend to chose men who look good on TV, are ‘personable’ and EASY TO CONTROL. Jeb’s the perfect example. He was able to raise millions and millions of dollars BUT was more than willing to let his ‘consultants’ spend it unwisely and ‘like water’.
The balance of power between consultant and person running (AFTER TRUMP) switches back to the person running being in charge and the consultant being the employee. If that happens we’ll start electing people with backbone who are capable ... rather than the shallow but likable impotent fools - the kind of people we’ve been electing. (Think powerless glad handlers with big smiles)
My point is the consultant class has a dog in this fight... the most important fight of their lives... their best dog. It’s the most important fight of the country’s life too: the quality of the people running the United States is on the table. The consultant class will fight smart and dirty and throw every kitchen sink they’ve got - their cushy power and livelihood are on the line.
It ain’t gonna be pretty.

But you must admit, Perot was his own worst enemy.
People are saying the same thing about Trump.
Perot was dismissed as a paranoid nutcase when he said that Bush people were threatening and blackmailing his family. At the time it seemed a little far-fetched, but the more I've watched how the Bush clan manages to push even its least capable members into positions of power, the more I'm convinced that Perot's story was plausible. The Bushes and their cronies are like a mafia within the GOP.
Time will sure open your eyes, huh.
As to the people who blame Perot for giving us Clinton, my response is 1) Who cares, if the alternative was Bush, and 2) It's probably not even true, since a lot of Perot voters were like me - casting a protest vote against both Bush and Clinton, and who wouldn't have voted at all if Perot weren't in the race.
My wife and I had decided not to vote until Perot came along. “Read My Lips” Bush would never get my vote and I was born and raised in Arkansas so I knew all about Clinton.
His statement is unbelievable. I believe he’s 100%. On the impossible chance she’s indicted, he’ll claim it’s a conspiracy. That would be my guess.
Do you have links that show those donations? I have passed this on to someone who really wants links so THEY can pass it on.
Much appreciated if you do. Person I passed it on to said that the links above don’t show those donations.
Thanks.

___________________________
the links right above the list show the source about who the donors are...
the list I copied and pasted came from an download off of the FEC.gov site by
http://www.fec.gov/data/IndependentExpenditure.do
Search these parameters independent expenditure search by candidate (Trump) in opposition. I limited the list to donations over $5000. then I created an excel file.
Hope that helps.
MANY thanks. Somehow my brain/eyes missed that. Many thanks for your hard work, too!
We need to start a movement.
#NoDNoR
Vote out Congress until they are all gone. Every D and every R.
Third party candidates only.
President Trump needs a Congress he can work with and not one bought and paid for by lobbyists.
I don’t have a problem with that.
I do believe in redemption, and if people can prove they’ll cooperate with Trump then they are a know. A known is better than an unknown.
Some way must be found to make sure we never return to the extremely flawed place we’re in right now.
If it takes replacing the all, I’m for it.
