Patrick Caddell: The real election surprise? The uprising of the American people
FoxNews.com ^ | November 7, 2016 | Patrick Caddell

Posted on 11/07/2016 7:06:29 PM PST by metmom

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.

And tomorrow isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. Americans aren’t going down easy. Like the Kenyan boy like to say, “That’s not who we are.”

THAT is the line-up for Kaine's Nov 5th rally at FLorida SouthWester University.

Just before the doors opened the line grew to a massive TWENTY FOUR people.

That’s right.

Whatever way it falls out, it’s going to be messy.

This is one of the most experienced pundits and pollsters in the business and this is one of the most interesting opinion pieces I have seen in a long time.

Definitely worth reading and sharing. Pray he is right and he has consistently said much of the same in his limited appearances.

Jerry Falwell, Jr. the Chancellor of Liberty U in Virginia, when introducing Trump at midnight this morning at the rally in Leesburg, Virginia; said, “Donald Trump truly is America’s blue collar billionaire.” He had given the example of Trump serving them Wendy’s hamburgers on the plane himself just like a regular guy and they were concerned there was going to caviar and champaign when they first met.

I am shocked Fox allowed this anywhere near their network. All night on Fox it has been, “gee wow, look at the bread and circuses in Philly” followed by “Trump is done!!!”

The revolt has been ongoing for more than 2 years. It’s been going on at least since the 2008 financial skullduggery that I know of and probably longer than that.

“most closely resembling the Jacksonian revolution of the 1820s”

I trust people that are students of history when they use it to make their arguments.

Yes it has and we were just waiting for that spark that set the whole thing ablaze and Trump is it.

He didn't start it, he just was instrumental in revealing it.

“grew to a massive TWENTY FOUR people.”

These people become reverse “RainMakers” for Clinton. They spread the word how she has no support.
