The main objective of the political-media establishment and, in particular, Barack Obama is to prevent any post-election investigation of the rampant corruption in Washington DC.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans want to maintain their standing as permanent political elites, whereby they may continue to treat ordinary Americans as indentured servants and broker the tax revenues for the benefit of themselves and their wealthy donors. It is clear that the Obamas and Valerie "Rasputin" Jarrett hate the Clintons and do not want to risk "payback time" from a vindictive and ruthless President Hillary.
The Obama strategy is stretch out the homebrew server scandal to undermine Hillary's campaign through a death by a thousand cuts. It has to be delicate surgery, something short of indictment and trial, which would likely implicate him, and something that would prevent retaliation from the Clinton camp, perhaps leaks of the Muslim or birther variety that we witnessed from them during the 2008 primary season.
Barack Obama has been secretly searching for a challenger to replace Hillary and is ready to endorse Vice President Joe Biden. But that backing comes with a price - Obama would select his running mate. The Obamas want a high-powered African American who can carry on the Obama legacy, and that choice is likely to be former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. In such a scenario, Biden would agree not run for re-election, paving the way for a Patrick presidency.
Equally eager to avoid any corruption investigations, the Republican establishment has selected Jeb Bush, the candidate most likely to continue business as usual and not raise any embarrassing questions.
Jeb's poll numbers are so anemic, however, an anticipated maximum of 15-20%, that the Republican establishment had to devise a plan that would keep Jeb afloat and gain enough primary victories in the key states to ensure his nomination.
By splitting the vote amongst a number of other establishment candidates, the "Jebettes," enough votes would be drawn away from any significant challenger. Ballooning the field with a large number of candidates has been a deliberate strategy, whereby Jeb could win, not by gaining support, but by fracturing his opponents' support. The original cast of "Jebettes" was Graham (South Carolina), Kasich (Ohio), Perry (Texas) and Rubio (Florida) with further insurance policies in Virginia (Gilmore) and New York (Pataki).
Unfortunately for the Republican establishment, Donald Trump transformed their grand strategy into a bridge to nowhere. And that is why they are so aggressively trying to get him out of the race, lately by leveraging the fluctuating popularity of Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina as a counterforce to Trump.
The Republican establishment is composed of financiers, like Wall Street, banking interests, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and K-Street Lobbyists, who pay the Republican National Committee (RNC) and derive benefit from the policies created in Washington DC. It is all part of a machine that tells Republican politicians what to do; the RNC is the Board of Directors, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are the managers and the politicians are the employees.
The possibility of a President Trump upsets that cozy financial arrangement, where, like the Democrats, they would like to continue plundering the economy and bleeding white the American Middle Class.
The Republican establishment knows that it cannot control Trump, who may decide that investigations and prosecutions are in order, a possibility that strikes fear in the hearts of all the current holders of government-supplied and guaranteed "Get Out of Jail Free" cards.
The financiers, who every four years hire a President, are generally ambivalent about party affiliation and would be equally pleased from a cost-effectiveness standpoint with either a Hillary or Jeb presidency because they are really only distinguishable by a Y chromosome, whichever one of them has it.
Post-election, the Democrats will continue the relentless movement to the left; highlighted by their tribal politics, profligate spending and political correctness, all practiced until our economy matches that of Venezuela, the southwest is returned to Mexico, beheadings are declared a legitimate Muslim response to any perceived grievance, abortion is made mandatory and a pedophile is appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Democrat dream is not a country, but a collection of simultaneous arguments, where all we have in common as American is our differences.
Regardless of who wins, the Republicans will simply follow the Democrats leftward, attempting to match their racial, ethnic, gender and Muslim pandering in the desperate hope that they can scrape together enough votes to maintain their position as the junior partner in a corrupt status quo.
Then again, a courageous outsider may win and expose the whole stinking mess.
I don't consider R's and D's anymore
either a Hillary or Jeb presidency because they are really only distinguishable by a Y chromosome, whichever one of them has it.

I think it’s Hillary!
¡Yeb! probably has a larger bra size.
Many around here work against the strategy to dump the Uniparty. They would prefere to lose so they can proclaim total purity even though it ain’t so.
Thanks for sending. Didn't know about her. Anyone who will Fight!
I firmly believe that if Trump somehow manages to outmaneuver the RNC and get the nomination, the GOPe will do all in its power to sabotage him and throw the Presidency to the Democrat, whoever it is. Trump would have to create his own organizations on the ground and handle all the infrastructure issues that the party normally takes care of. On the plus side, if he can win, he can fire everyone in that corrupt organization and make it so that Republicans can pick their nominee in the future, instead of the elites, even if the favorite is not a billionaire.
Check out article.
Laz was right...
Thanks, Art.
I think this article nails it.
Dang. I have some libs who are willing to listen to the truth about the two headed uniparty controlling the country. This article seemed so good I was going to send it to them... But the fourth-from-the-last paragraph ruined it for me. They will see those tongue in cheek stupid words like “mandatory abortion” and write the whole essay off.
Sad.
Don’t feel bad Art. I am 63 and have always thought like you.
This whole thing is upsetting, but once the truth dawned on me I am all in to getting rid of these awful people.
Whatever it takes. They are not on our side.
I couldn’t agree more with this post. Corruption, deception and collaboration against most AMERICAN citizens is now at the root of our problems. Most of us get screwed while a few elites get to run the system for their pals. This is about liberal and Harvard elites getting preferences against the average folk and not ideology.
BTW Art just out at a 50 year class and family reunion at Meridian. We think alike.
From the article:
“...It has to be delicate surgery, something short of indictment and trial, which would likely implicate him, and something that would prevent retaliation from the Clinton camp, perhaps leaks of the Muslim or birther variety that we witnessed from them during the 2008 primary season. ...”
Clintoons got the goods on 0....
Enjoy the reunion! I enjoyed mine in 2012. I'm the 'American Grafitti' class of 62'. : )
Today proves that those who love America need to take it back.
Amen to that. Everyone around here voicing concerns about "how things are going to be for the grandkids." Have heard that 10 times at least. I suspect many throughout the nation are having similar thoughts
Yeah ... all of a sudden she popped up
Thanks for the ping; post; thread. 65 here. OUTSTANDING article and comments.
“The possibility of a President Trump upsets that cozy financial arrangement, where, like the Democrats, they would like to continue plundering the economy…”
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
The Results of Legal Plunder
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.
/Bastiat
Uniparty Socialists, Check$ and Balance$ ALERT!
I hope people realize the long term threats we face as a nation before they vote November 8, 2016.
