Did Trump Really Save America From Socialism?

Americans need to understand that the shocking refusal by a major political party to accept the results of the last election and the onslaught of verbal, legal, and physical assaults the Democrats have engendered, are not specific to Donald Trump. In other words, it is now clear plans were made by Obama to exploit federal power during his presidency to give the Democrats control of our nation — perpetually. It really didn’t matter if Trump was the GOP nominee or not. In other words, the chaos we are witnessing today would not have been much different had, for example, Ted Cruz won the presidency.

Sure, the issues and the phony narratives would be different but the intensity of the attacks would be the same and the illegal politicizing of Federal agencies would probably still have occurred. There is little doubt the Dems would have created phony narratives customized for whoever the nominee was, similar to how they customized the Russian collusion hoax for Trump. This is what the establishment Republicans and the Never-Trumpers don’t understand. Long before Trump’s candidacy, total war was declared on the GOP when the Obama administration strategically created the conditions to make its progressive revolution a permanent one. Or so they thought.

First, let’s dump the naivety. Obama has been fully in charge of both the pre- and post- election attacks on Trump. He is the leader of the resistance. The idea that his appointees at the FBI, DOJ, IRS, CIA, State Department, etc., would risk committing multiple felonies without direction from him or his henchman is simply not believable as many long-time political leaders and observers have stated.

Obama’s fingerprints can be found everywhere in the widening scandal.

I don't believe this is true. All the venom is directed at Trump because he's a real threat. The progressive reaction would have been entirely different if, for example, Jeb Bush had been elected.

The progs would be partying with Jeb!, pounding down guacamole and swilling cervezas.

Sorry. He is NOT a natural born citizen which requires TWO citizen parents and born on US soil. That is according to the Constitution and HAS BEEN AFFIRMED by the US Supreme Court. Cruz was a foreign national, Canadian, with dual citizenship until he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014. He is NOT qualified to be US President.

The Constitution I have read simply says “natural born citizen”, nothing about parentage.

[Mollypitcher1]

Natural Born Citizen does not mean Naturalized citizen. It means a person who CANNOT BE ANYTHING ELSE but a citizen of the United States. Ted Cruz was also a citizen of Canada. He was NOT a natural born citizen because his parents were NOT BOTH American citizens.
