The real election surprise? The uprising of the American people
FoxNews.com ^ | November 07, 2016 | Patrick Caddell

For more than two years the American people, in a great majority, from left to right, have been in revolt against the political class and the financial elites in America. It is a revolt with historic parallels, most closely resembling the Jacksonian revolution of the 1820s. It is an uprising. It is a peaceful uprising of a people who see a country in decline and see nothing but failure in the performance of their leadership institutions. And they have signaled their intent to take back their country and to reclaim their sovereignty.

Unfortunately, the analysts, the pollsters and most importantly the commentariat of the political class have never understood, and in fact are psychologically incapable of understanding what is happening. And for the entire cycle of this presidential campaign they have failed to grasp what was happening before their eyes – for it runs counter to everything they believe about themselves.

In truth, they are suffering from cognitive dissonance believing in their righteous superiority and are not capable of realizing that it is they who have become the adversary of the American people. And therefore they have been wrong, in this entire election cycle, every step of the way.

For them, American politics only began yesterday. They know little history and have no appreciation of the collective consciousness of the American people. Whether it is the campaign of Bernie Sanders, who came within a hair’s breadth of knocking out the coronated nominee of the Democratic establishment or on the other side, the emergence of the total outsider Donald Trump, the most improbable candidate of all. In truth, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, sucked from the same trough even if it was from opposite ends.

I’ve been saying it for a year and a half. Trump’s not running a campaign, he’s leading a revolt!

Yep and no matter if they manage to lie, cheat and steal Hillary into office, she will have zero ability to govern. The issues of the Sanders/Trump voters will continue to fester and boil while being exasperated by the corrupt lawlessness of the Clinton political machine. Tomorrow is not an end, tomorrow is a beginning. The choice is does the USA go the soft road or the hard road?

"neither Sanders nor Trump created this uprising. They were chosen vehicles – they did not create these movements, these movements created them."

In less than a day we will know how far this revolt has come. But, make no mistake, whatever the outcome, this revolt is not ending, it is merely beginning.

"he’s leading a revolt!"

Absolutely. The man has turned DC upside down in the last 18 months. The potential is incredible.

“Jacksonian revolution of the 1820s.”

That’s why he’s on the 20. Not surprising O wants to change the pic. Good timing. Can put Trump on there now if he wins.

Pray for the safety of Donald Trump. The same ruthless globalists he is running against will not stand by and watch.

They understand. They are not stupid. They are gaslighting and should be held in contempt as such.

So many have lost so much. They have nothing else to lose. That is why they’re fighting. I’ve talked to people who’ve lost everything because of the retards in office and their social experimention with people who had great jobs, savings, insurance, nice homes, and now have nothing because of the Satanic run Rosemary’s Baby cabal intiated in 1961 to present day hell on earth. The NWO Illuminati BS is going straight down into the pits of Hell at one point or another.

Liberalism is the most deadly form of cancer. Hillary is the final fatal strain that ends the republic as established.

“In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy .” Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928)

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged." --G.K. Chesterton, No 15

"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." Mark Twain

"Make America Great Again."
--Donald J. Trump

Yep. He deserves a great deal of credit for being so honest as a dem. I try to watch him every Sunday on Fox Report, he should get much more time to speak.

After the last election, did they think the TEA party people were going to just go away?

They came back, but they had a leader this time.

I wish that were true, but she will have the courts and amnesty and that's all she will need to put the final nail in America's coffin
