Donald Trump has had an uphill battle since the day, over a year ago, when he announced his candidacy for the Republican Party presidential nomination. Against long odds and endless naysayers in the media and in his own party, he secured the party nomination for president and in the process received more primary votes than any other previous Republican candidate. Ever. Sharing votes with 16 other primary candidates.
Now that he has the GOP nomination, one would think his main opponent would be Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. If only it were so. Mrs. Clinton is a flawed candidate, corrupt and dishonest, running as the third term of the disastrous Obama eight-year presidency. This should be a cakewalk for any Republican candidates regardless of their experience, temperament, personality, hairstyle or any other distinguishing factors.
But it is not. Not only is Trump running against the Democratic Party, but he is also running against virtually every major media outlet as well as his own Republican Party. Donald still has strong support from “We the People,” those viewed with disdain and contempt by both political parties, big media, Hollywood, academia and all the other self-appointed, know-it-alls. Will that be enough to win the election?

Being surrounded means you can counterattack in ANY direction:
PERFECT.
GOP goes full retard.
Proof positive that neither major political party cares about what the American people want.
Matt Drudge will decide this election and reality. Sit back and relax. It started yesterday.
It’s interesting that RINOs are still referred to as GOP in election years.
Finally, somebody actually said it.
We who love freedom and hate unlimited tyranny are on our own, probably where we should be. Washington loathed and despised party politics. So do I - it is the incubator of corruption.
The GOP has been full democrat for decades. Reagan was an aberration from GOP orthodoxy. Both parties are globalist. Trump is not.
The entire GOP is RINOs, so why not?
I greatly admire your reaction! Splendid. We all need to become card carrying activists, but it would require us to get off the keyboard and going to work in the field.
Thanks.
I hate the Democrat Party, but I hold the Republicrat Party in contempt!
Exactly! It is nationalism vs globalism.
“If he had that kind of power Slick Willie would have been impeached.:,... UH Clinton WAS IMPEACHED 3x.
You'd think W rubber stamping everything Tedward handed him would have been a tip off.
re: We all need to become card carrying activists, but it would require us to get off the keyboard and going to work
Bingo
The article summarizes the situation very well.
The good news, though, is that with the slipping of the mask of the gop, the willingness of lots of folks to be all nice and polite and willing to take a big bite of the sh!t sandwich being served up is slipping as well.
The GOP is half globalist...consisting of 60’s dopers who eventually got through college and became teachers and politicians....they learned little to nothing about America’s history and glumed onto books like “The Ugly American” activists like anti-American Stokely Carmichael; songs by Joan Baez...a cross roads for America that drowned out American values. Most of us have been there, done that but never lost our values or love of country and freedom, faiths; Hilary’s blast from the past rings hollow while Trump’s life line for the future rings of truth, honesty, and freedom from oppressive government rules and regulations!
