Typical presidential elections are composed of the Republican and Democrat parties, and other fringe groups that occasionally gain a seat or two in local elections, but that rarely have any real impact on the trajectory of the nation.
This is not true this year.
It seems that Democrats have decided leave their traditional party behind to embrace the American Socialist Party, something they have been veering towards for several years, but are now fully committed to in order to destroy capitalism and figure out how to turn the nation into a larger version of Cuba, but with better bathrooms.
Crazy Uncle Bernie is leading that charge, and the Democrat establishment is humoring the kids since it keeps them from focusing on Hillary’s legal problems and shenanigans. The other half of Democrat roster is Hillary Clinton, who should be in jail, but instead is finding great support from her Wall Street chums who do not seem too interested in the “folks back home” and in fact want to keep the good times rolling for big banks and corporate heavy weights.
Hillary is stalking Bernie to the left in order to appease the know-nothing women and “it’s her turn” gang who are not quite ready for full on socialism. It is clear that once the primary is sewn up and handed to Hillary in a nice Christmas package, she will dump the economic disaster proposed by Bernie and start working on her own goal of becoming a billionaire, while husband Bill is unloosed on a new slew of unsuspecting co-eds. Nothing traditional about either of these two, and populist Democrats who traded on the Democrat image helping regular folks should be spinning in their graves about now.
The Republicans are equally befuddled. Ted Cruz seems to be courting the far right, Christian evangelicals and Tea Party activists, thought it is hard to tell from his legislative track record what he really believes. But the Republican party elites (read establishment) are not happy with him, and they had hoped to jam through Jeb Bush, then Marco Rubio, and now John Kasich.
Establishment types have no one to blame but themselves as they promised reform and commitment to the Constitution and conservative values to core voters, then stabbed them in the back each and every year as they acquiesced to Barack Obama and did everything possible to please their business and Chamber of Commerce masters, all while leaving their conservative voters in the lurch. They are now panicked since the jig is up and the public is on to them, determined not to get tricked again. Cruz is rigid and not well liked in the halls of Congress, but it seems easy to predict he will go hard right in most decisions, though it seems he supports “free” trade and the TPP, which would harm American workers, no one know if he will be able to get anyone to follow him.
But the real joker in the deck and the one people don’t know what to expect from is Donald Trump. He brilliantly played the anger and dissatisfaction of the American people as they saw Republican and Democrat politicians sell the country out to cheap, illegal alien labor. He has also tapped into the disgust that people have for the politically correct nonsense, especially President Obama’s as he invited Muslim “refugees” into the country without finding out whether they were Islamic terrorists.
Trump is a political unknown quantity, and the politicians can’t figure out if he will play their game or not. They hate not knowing how to control him and even if that is possible, so both sides of the aisle have been desperate to find a way to derail his campaign. He is not “one of them,” and does not play by their rules, and that terrifies the Washington elite. The problem is insider plans have not worked, and Trump’s popularity has just gotten larger.
Now, instead of defaming Trump, the party elites are trying to figure out how to rig the final tally so that the millions of voters who have been keeping him at the top of the Republican primary will be ignored and their votes will be tossed in the trash.
How do they think that will work?
Republican luminary warns GOP of tossing Trump votes, page 2:
Trump cleaning up America
You betcha!!!! We want a say in thise election, popular vote should win….everytime/anytime
Yes we will.
U can count on that.
America there’s a lot of concern where we are heading with our 2016 election – here’s the picture we are creating –
Democrats – we are fixing to nominate a crook that should behind bars in a prison – where she should be eaten up with her conscious –
Republicans – hopefully we the people wake up before it’s too late – if we fail Donald Trump – then we will be enabling the GOP to force a nominee through corruption – as they will not go with the majority of the votes candidate – so in essence we are electing a crook for the POTUS – how do we explain our ignorance to our future generations – how do we explain the imbalance in our liberal Supreme Court – we can’t afford to continue down this road – we have young families struggling to pay up to $10 or more a day for their children’s school lunches when illegals sit opposite the table and eat free lunches. What’s really sad is what about American kid that’s ashamed to sit down at the lunch table because he hasn’t any money to get a lunch. No legal American child chooses to go hungry either. Do you see any illegal immigrants being required to serve jury-duty while hard working working class loses income from serving and held in contempt of court if they choose not to do so. We the people need to wake up before it is too late and vote for the FUTURE of OUR people not the politicians people.
We will rise for Mr Trump screw the cruz.
Yup!
You can kiss up to Satan’s spawn Cruz all you want to not me. Also “We the People” do not elect the president or the vice president.
“We the People” do not elect the president nor the vice president of the United States.
The United States Electoral College is the institution that elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years. Citizens of the United States do not directly elect the president or the vice president; instead, these voters directly elect designated intermediaries called “electors,” who almost always have pledged to vote for particular presidential and vice presidential candidates (though unpledged electors are possible) and who are themselves selected according to the particular laws of each state. Electors are apportioned to each of the 50 states as well as to the District of Columbia (also known as Washington, D.C.). The number of electors in each state is equal to the number of members of Congress to which the state is entitled,[1] while the Twenty-third Amendment grants the District of Columbia the same number of electors as the least populous state, currently three. Therefore, in total, there are currently 538 electors, corresponding to the 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 senators, plus the three additional electors from the District of Columbia.
Bonita Selzler Hopefully the war you claimed would be fought in Canada not in our great country. We don’t allow foreigners especially third world countries to fight in our first world country. countries.
We will write Trump in and get absolute verification that we did!
