xplaining The Trump Phenomenon To The Washington Elite
Commonsense Evaluation ^

Posted on 03/03/2016 4:35:07 AM PST by gaggs

A GREAT ANALOGY explaining the Trump phenomenon to the Washington elite by an 80 year old American.

You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately…You call the city and four different exterminators, but nobody could handle the job. There is this one guy however, who guarantees you he will get rid of them, so you hire him. You don’t care if the guy smells, you don’t care if the guy swears, you don’t care how many times he’s been married, you don’t care if he was friends with liberals, you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those raccoons gone!

A better analogy is when insurgents attack and a group of people are thinking...wow, what happened? What did WE do to set off the insurgents? Except in this case, the GOPe sent many so-called conservatives to Congress, then they folded and/or incumbant Republicans did not support them. The people revolted and attacked the GOPe via TEA Party and the Trump Tidalwave. But, the GOPe refuse to answer the issue of “Hey, what did we do to trigger this?”. Trump is a symptom, not the illness.

Or you could simply burn the house down. The infestation by raccoons, distasteful though it may be, is nothing to a nest of skunks, nasty, disagreeable, pugnacious skunks with plenty of their foul spray stored up in their glands.

And rabid to boot.

Of course, the poisonous cobras and scorpions that have moved in as well do not make the job the least bit easier either.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m tired of trying to ‘explain’ the appeal of Trump to the elitist snobs.

eff em. They will never get it. They. Don’t. Want. To.

You burn the house down if that last hope option can't fumigate the place.

Just sayin'...

elitist snobs.

BY elitist snob, I presume you mean crony capitalist sell-out incompetent holds a position of power or influence because they have learned to go along to get along and never done anything useful in their lives not even changed a flat tire, or, horrors, replaced a length of cracked pipe after a bad freeze.

And the resurgent grass roots needs to understand that the Elites are cornered and will fight back just like cornered animals. The Elites are at risk of losing everything that they value: their power; their sources of income (aka bribes) and their cushy lifestyle. This will not be a walk in the park.

Exactly right. I’m sick of the elitist snobs. All they need to know now is that we’re coming for them. Our pitchforks are sharpened, and it will be very soon now. The time for talk is over. Like our soon to be President Trump, we are doers, not talkers. RINO GOPe, Sore Cruzermen and Foamboy lovers, your days are numbered.

Just latch on to the first glib bastard who looks as if he knows what he’s doing.

Raccoons, like members of the GOP-E, have masked faces.

I agree. While getting rid of some vagrant raccoons might be a good outcome, having a house full of skunks as the ultimate result may not be to most people’s liking.

I think it's as simple as "we no longer want what the GOPe is selling."

The harder they try to force us to accept what we're selling, the more we don't want it.
