Much like the battle at Thermopylae Donald Trump chose the political landscape which removes the Jeb Bush numerical advantage. And today he just hit the lead general right where it hurts:
(link to an external post, then)
As we shared yesterday, Trump has three audiences. In this example he just nailed Jeb in his most exposed vulnerability.
[ ] Donald Trump is talking to Wall Street. Like the RNC, Trump knows full well the preferred candidate for Wall Street is Jeb Bush. He needs to make their support for Bush a losing proposition; no-one on Wall Street likes to lose. In essence he is creating a self fulfilling prophecy for them. Again, hes masterful at exposing their weakening flank, their only winning play will be to support him, reluctantly on his terms. (link)
There has been much talk of wall building amid the punditry regarding Donald Trump, but the most effective wall candidate Trumps building is actually between the Bush Campaign and the Wall Street financiers who are both Jebs treasury and armory.

"Just a Reminder, this is an insurgency. The modern enemy of Wall Street is Main Street vulgarians. The enemy of the RNC/GOPe is not Democrats, its Grassroots Conservatives, more vulgarians.
The Republican Party views us as their enemy. We are the enemy they need to protect themselves from:"

Well stated.
I would rather it say the “Republican establishment” and not the “Republican party.” Lot of good people still in the party....none in the establishment.
Oh, about that China obsession. They’re down another 7% last night....down nearly 80% for the year. Our market is rallying today - and Europe rallied. Isn’t it about time to get over this China obsession. If, as Trump said, they were always “winning” and we were always losing, this would be reversed. Just something to think about.
China has four times (or five times, depending on how you count it) America’s population, China makes most of what we buy in America, and China does not allow immigration from Americans.
What part of that, doesn’t scream to you “America is getting shafted”?
China does not make “most of what we buy” - it makes most of the little trinket junk we buy....but not “most” of everything. That’s absurd.
Tell me, when a company buys steel made in China, and turns around and hires thousands of people to make cars, farm equipment, commercial buildings, lawn mowers....etc etc etc....HOW THE F is that a “loss.” How is that getting shafted?
You are the one who doesn’t believe in America. If you did, you’d not be obsessed about China.
Sad, but true. I learned that the hard way in Tennessee. A Republican representative, when presented with the immigration problem 20 years ago, didn’t seem to care much at all about the problem. Come to find out, his brother is an investment banker and he is now out of office and doing the same thing, investment banking. 2+2=4
Wall Street’s preferred LOSING candidate is Jeb. The Street’s preferred WINNING presidential candidate is any Democrat, liberal neo-fascist who will keep the crony-capitalist-statist gravy train rolling.
With a small spur track to feed cash and privilege to the GOPe’s “Washington Generals” of course.
So, fake money pumped to Wall Street for free while record numbers of Americans are out of the job market, on food stamps, in poverty, and 18 trillion and rising at warp-speed in debt is “winning?”
Is that you, GOPe?
Perhaps the next propagandist/moderator can ask Jeb about it in the next “debate”.

HOORAY Trump
Dude, get down off your high horse and quit taking the estrogen supplements. The fake money on Wall Street IS THE PROBLEM...but dude, that's not CHINA. The Fed is NOT in China. The FED is in the US. You and I agree on at least half of this issue, but there you go off ranting and stepping in a steaming pile of emotion without any intellect whatsoever in your rant. Yes, it's the Fed, and it's Obama Care and the EPA and high taxes too....but THOSE ARE NOT CHINESE PROBLEMS. Those are OUR DOMESTIC problems.
Bttt
“China does not make most of what we buy - it makes most of the little trinket junk we buy....but not most of everything. Thats absurd.”
Have you ever looked at where the consumer goods you buy at Lowe’s, The Home Depot, Walmart, all the big box stores, are made? These goods are NOT trinkets. Most of the parts that make up the autos we buy are foreign made.
In case you have not noticed, a lot of manufacturing has moved overseas and a lot of the stuff we use is not made in the uS anymore. How the F does buying cars, lawnmowers, farm equipment, appliances, etc. made in Mexico, Japan, Korea and other countries with Chinese steel = we are winning? I want some of whatever you are smoking.
Ping
Its easy for people that don’t refuse to see how American jobs are lost when they know so much of what they purchase is made in China.
You are missing the point of this post. Your hatred of Trump is blinding you to what is going on with the RNC.
If you would open your mind you might be able to see the reason a lot of us are backing Trump.
"Today, the United States depends on China for myriad items that U.S. citizens need every day. These include 100 percent of key electronics and chemical components. They even include basic ingredients for some of the nations most important drugs, including antibiotics. Given that supply chains often run on a just-in-time basis, in which goods are produced only as fast as they are consumed, there are often no backup supplies nearby.
China, by contrast, depends on the United States for little of vital importance. For what it does import in quantity, like energy and metals, it holds large stockpiles."
It would appear you are 1/2 correct: the Fed pumps $$ into Wall St. D.C., on the other hand, borrows from China (and others) to add to ‘our’ debt.
We’ve had 100+ yrs. of crony Capitalism/Socialism. We’re up to $100T+ in unfunded liabilities.
The problem is our ILLEGAL fiat currency.
I once heard that a Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged.
I bet that you take away some of Wall Street’s gibmedats and they would come back around.
indeed sir...the problem is in DC, on Wall Street - and with the cronies wherever they are across the country. The problem is NOT Bejing - they only try and take advantage of our own stupidity.
