Well both certainly are the GOPe and DNCe’s worst nightmares.
And they both have the honor of being 0bama 2.0.
At least Trump or Sanders don’t own slaves.
I feel your pain Yoo. Imagine what they would have thought of Bill Clinton, Barf Obama, and the possibility that Hillary might win. Yikes!
joyless not taking a day off.
The Founders would also be aghast at what some of the American people have become.
Apparently, the voters do not think so. The founders wanted the people to decide. Not pundits, donors and political hacks.
Think the founders worst nightmare would have been debt obligations of 19 Trillion. Of course they could not even fathom such a high number back then. It is time to retire the establishment. They have failed us miserably.
Yoo who?
The Founders worst fears was a Government of “Faction and Moneyed interests” like what currently dominates the DC Political/Media/Business class. The Founders would see in Trump and Carson the ideal of the citizen politician and utterly abhor the professional politicians like Clinton/Cruz/Sander/Rubio/Bush et al.
This article could be about Clinton or Obama or any democrat since FDR. The author is a little late.
The Founders' worst nightmare was a massive government that intruded into every aspect of society, with massive social-engineering power, fed by unbacked currency and massive debt. They KNEW that such a government would be corrupt, overtly political, and eventually would be used to oppress people.
With limited government, and clear, simple rules on roles for each part of government, they tried to ensure no tyrant could take over.
Just cancelled my subscription.... had enough.
Actually, Trump is exactly what the founders envisioned.
The founders built in remedies to keep the country on course or to get it back on course but here is no way they could anticipate how far we have drifted. The Constitution was written based upon honorable people doing honorable things but it is facing 47% populace that is willing to vote for anyone with a “D” behind their name and a complicit media that is a willing participant to that end.
I'm sorta thinking their worst nightmare was Lincoln.
The Founders would not believe and wouldn’t approve of what has happened to America if you time traveled back and told them.
Maybe, the founders “worst nightmare” was someone born in a foreign country with a non-American father who fought alongside Castro being elected to the presidency. Or maybe their “worst nightmare” would be someone born inside the country to two foreigners from a country which is still considered to be our enemy to be elected as our president. Maybe... that is why they specified that the president could only be a “natural born citizen”, a term that just might have had a commonly understood meaning when the constitution was written, one which would disqualify both of the previous examples.
When Sanders policy wants of income equality, free this and that for the masses, public healthcare, and other socialist utopian goals translate into enormous growth of the federal government redistributors, Washington will get behind the Bern.
