Donald Trump's success represents a peaceful "overthrow of the government" and that the Republican establishment should be glad it's being achieved with "ballots not bullets."
Sure enough, presidential candidate Donald J. Trump racked up impressive statistics in his Fox News debate tonight, effectively trouncing the competition that included Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Once again, however, Fox’s Megyn “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” Kelly ambushed Mr. Trump by falsely stating that the Better Business Bureau had given Trump University a D-minus rating, when in fact it’s rating is, as Trump asserted, an A!
Below is the Better Business Bureau report, with an ‘A’ grade for Trump University
The parties are not the government. They might think they are, but they’re not. They are disposable and need to be disposed of.
The founders and framers of the Constitution were brilliant!
The overthrow of the current regime which has been dedicated to the overthrow of our constitutional republic. An overthrow of the current regime is actually a reinstatement of our constitutional republican government.
It works so far, the people decide, some one tell the idiots in the GOP it’s the people
Ballots, not bullets. But bullets sometimes are needed too. We shall see.
Definitely a Hostile Takeover.
No, you’re wrong.
The idea was to have citizen legislators. You go, do your thing for a few years and you come back home. Now we have career politicians.
Let us examine the history of the next minority leader in the U.S. Senate, one Charles Schumer
He’s never worked a day in his pathetic life. He was a NY State Assemblyman, then a NY State Senator, the U.S Congresscritter, and finally a U.S. Senator.
He gets a pension from his time in the NY State Assy and Senate, and then a federal pension from his time as Congresscritter and Senator.
This is what’s wrong. Not only do they get top tier salaries for bottom tier work, the get pensions that are essentially a full salary and free medical care for the rest of their sorry lives. How is this possible? Because they have voted it for themselves. None of this was done in a public referendum. It was a sweetheart deal that they did for themselves.
The Congressional pension system should be the first thing that needs to be dismantled. Let them live as citizen legislators. Pay them for their time, per diem, as they do for your service on a Jury. When your term ends, that’s it.
Any act of corruption should be a capital crime and the seizure of the sum of their assets deposited into the treasury. Let them face the ultimate penalty for even the most minor of infractions.
Excellent.

Most excellent!
I suppose we can always dream . . .
The Founders never envisioned the rise of career politicians.
However, We the People can fix that.
Incorrect...they never intended public service to be a career. High income and lobbyist $$$ have turned it into that. On a side note, do we need term limits? On the surface, it would appear so. HOWEVER, term limits, like campaign finance regulations, stifles freedom of speech.
Sounds like someone doesn't understand either the Constitution or the definition of open and fair democratic elections they preach about wanting everyone to have.
