Middle America is sick and tired of politics and politicians. They see something different in Trump. They will try to elect him simply because he is not seen as a politician.<br /><br />What will that do? Well, like the folks above said, Hillary will be the big winner. The already fractured Republican party will be the big loser. There is no way the RNC will allow Trump to receive the nomination, no matter haw many common folk want him. Ain't happening. And the average American isn't smart enough to realize that a few fat cats hiding out behind the curtains are calling the shots. Directing the performance, if you will.<br /><br />Politicians on both sides, and their respective parties, are terrified of Trump. <br /><br />Could Trump be a plant to force the wedge even deeper into the already disjointed Republican party and give Hillary an advantage? I think that's fodder for someone's work of fiction somewhere down the road.<br /><br />I think obama is going to do something stupid in these next few months. Something like wide ranging gun control via executive fiat. No one has tried to stop him on anything else, right? The Republicans that were sent to DC with a mandate for change in 2014 have failed their constituents miserably. They have done absolutely nothing that they were elected to do. <br /><br />Something is going to wake the sleeping beast. People are finally going to do something about the erosion of their rights through executive order and the crippling taxation that keeps them from moving ahead...<br /><br />Or, something else entirely.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Borepatch. ;)Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775073594938909298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-27329846954389537472015-12-15T00:31:12.004-05:002015-12-15T00:31:12.004-05:00It won't help.

I give more credibility to the idea that hes actually a democrat plant than anything else. The longer he is in the race the better for Hilary it is.<br /><br />Trump is actually part of the reason why Bernie is polling so well. He's gotten much of the attention from the middle class democrat voter who is disenfranchised with Hilary. <br /><br />Trump is really only motivating the worst of the republican party. Very much the "these guys" from the "I'm not with these guys" votes. He would never carry the base with his blatant racism and constant trolling. What he could accomplish though is the attitude of "I cant vote for Trump, and I wont vote for Hilary, so I'll just stay home" for a significant number of Republicans, and a significant number of the swing voters who other wise identify as dems.<br /><br />The powers that be team Hilary are really counting on this, then you only need enough votes to out vote those who no shame, and you win. She can do that.<br /><br /><br /><br />abnormalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326834806578868133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-76984800453695101642015-12-12T17:14:45.211-05:002015-12-12T17:14:45.211-05:00The outcome has already been determined between bo...The outcome has already been determined between both parties and Trump, who all know how to sucker the trusting American people: 1. Trump runs on what motivates the majority of the electorate this time around (limiting immigration) attracting a plurality of potential voters 2. Trump is "forced" to run as a third party candidate, splitting that majority (ala Ross Perot) 3. Hillary wins on a "mandate of the people" for more unfettered immigration 4.

The national GOP put a new rule in place that a state had to put their votes to whomever won the popular 'vote' in the primary/caucus. Colorado GOP didn't want to be disenfranchised if the state voted for a candidate who later dropped out before the convention. Now, their delegates will for whomever they wish to.<br />2) Isn't Trump an Elite?
