He’ll likely lose - but Trump is the final warning to elites

Donald Trump will probably lose the election. But he is a final warning. Unless political elites of both the left and the right become more humble, unless they once again ask themselves how their agendas will play in Peoria, the next rough beast might slouch over the corpse of the republic.

A conservative activist told me that Obozo won the second time because evangelicals didn't show. Romney got the independents but at the same time, lost the base. They just couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Mormon. Almost happened with Bush 43 with the October DUI revelation. The base was turned off. Secondly, there is entrenched voter fraud. Even in states that are usually red, like Indiana, they are trying to turn them blue. We know that this is a current running factor in Pennsylvania and Florida is saturated with fraud.

However, I do not remember EVER hearing of a candidate who has thousands waiting outside and parking lots taking hours to get everyone out. Clearly, somebody is going to vote for Trump!

I've heard this slur against evangelicals again and again, and just don't understand why it persists. Evangelicals voted for Romney in higher percentages than even Mormons did.

But the oligarchy would do ANYTHING to remain in power and Hillary is their girl.

This is absolutely true -- there are trillions of dollars at stake here. The Oligarchy (which is globalist in nature) simply cannot let an outsider win: and Trump (a nationalist) is certainly an outsider.

They've spent so much time and energy on destroying anything nationalistic here that a Trump presidency would be serious egg-on-the-face. (As an example, consider how the last few rounds for Presidential elections seem designed to set up precedence for ignoring the NBC requirement; one reason I think they were pushing Cruz so hard.)

At this point we ought to bring out the big guns they have no defense against: pray, frequently and earnestly. -- But instead of laser-focus, try the 'shotgun' approach: pray about justice, destroying the corrupt, putting those that fear God and love mercy and do Justly into positions of authority/power.

Trump got sidetracked in the last debate because he took Hillary’s bait and wasted precious time defending himself instead of talking about issues.

If he talks issues, he wins the debate.

And yes, I changed my ID to Trumplican because I denigrate him every chance.

I have been a Trump supporter since the beginning.

The last debate, I swear, Hillary and Donald sounded like a married couple arguing.

If anything Levin has become more insufferable since Cruz lost. While nominally supporting Trump I listened to one hour of his show and it was 100% Trump is losing, Trump is running a bad campaign, etc.

He is highly invested in Trump losing. I don’t even see how his show continues should Trump win.

He may have to follow Glenn Beck into retirement.

THAT is the way of a True Republican!

That's funny. (True though.)

Back when it was Romney v. Obama, OneWingShark called it the Tao of Republican Orthodoxy and made a brochure here.

He’ll only lose because the election is rigged with voting machines that flip votes, the dead are rising up to vote, demwits are voting early and often, noncitizens are voting and RATS are voting for the impaired.

Just a note on logic. The posters claim was that many evangelicals did not turn out.

You respond by noting how high the percent of evangelicals voting for Romney was.

You might both be right. Just because the overwhelming majority of Evangelicals who voted supported Romney does not prove that millions didn’t stay home.

Heritage Fdn. claims that only 25% of evangelicals show on Election Day. It was also said that Romney got less than this 25%. They are a force strong enough to move a mountain in they ALL voted in sync.

Romney received almost a million more votes in 2012 than did McCain in 2008. Look at the final vote tallies and show me where this myth of evangelicals refusing to vote for Romney due to his Mormonism can be demonstrated.

All these new “citizens” will owe their alliegence to the Dems and vote that way untill elections become nothing more than token polls that will have no meaning.

I agree with what you said, except this: it isn't Republican vs. Democrat anymore, it's Nationalist vs. Globalist and Patriot vs. 'Elite'.

This election is over. There is a 98% probability that Trump wins in a landslide. People do not see it yet but it won’t even be close.

Given a government where the director of the FBI can give a speech detailing and enumerating Hillary's wrongdoings, as to the laws involved, and then recommend "no prosecution", do you think that the corrupt and elitist government will feel any obligation to honor such an election result?

If Trump loses I will be voting for anyone who promises to put the entire political class on the gallows.

Well, read this and this and tell me how well I fit your requirements.
