The American political class has failed the country, and should be fired. That is the clearest message from the summer surge of Bernie Sanders and the remarkable rise of Donald Trump.
“Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street. The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master.”
Yet the stagnation of workers’ wages as the billionaire boys club admits new members, and the hemorrhaging of U.S. jobs under trade deals done for the Davos-Doha crowd, has created a blazing issue of economic inequality that propels the Sanders campaign.
Between his issues and Trump’s there is overlap. Both denounce the trade deals that deindustrialized America and shipped millions of jobs off to Mexico, Asia and China. But Trump has connected to an even more powerful current.
That is the issue of uncontrolled and illegal immigration, the sense America’s borders are undefended, that untold millions of lawbreakers are in our country, and more are coming. While most come to work, they are taking American jobs and consuming tax dollars, and too many come to rob, rape, murder and make a living selling drugs.
Moreover, the politicians who have talked about this for decades are a pack of phonies who have done little to secure the border.
Trump boasts that he will get the job done, as he gets done all other jobs he has undertaken. And his poll ratings are one measure of how far out of touch the Republican establishment is with the Republican heartland.

I really cannot argue with that logic..
I think he will continue to sail on until something stops him or slows him or someone else gets the spotlight.
I think the Toup has peaked too early he will be out by Christmas
He hasn’t gotten his second wind.
Well, The Donald could certainly split the Republican/Conservative vote, leading to at least four more years of hard Lefties/Marxists in the White House....
Get him in the debates & grab the popcorn!
Thanks for posting this. It was a good article.
I agree with you...
And I agree with the post that he has peaked too early.
The debates will end Donald...
Don’t they wish. Trump can go as far as he wants since money is not much of a question or does he care what the GOPe and the Media think.
Pat Buchanan in the mornings? Again he may not wear well, but we need someone with his clarity. We got Kuhner and Levin we need a morning talker....
You’re right. And he hasn’t even gotten mean, yet.
Donald Trump has set the tone and tenor of the Presidential campaign. And for that, he should be thanked.
But, Trump cannot win the nomination or win the General Election.
Hopefully, he will leave the race, rather than draw off Primary votes from conservative candidates, and thereby give us Jeb Bush.
Like maybe finding out he's really a liberal.
LOL...Well there is that......
Big dough usually is the key in the long slog of a primary season.
So far the big dough looks like the Cruzer, Trump, and Jeb.
Your Thoughts?
“When Trump ridicules his rivals as Lilliputians and mocks the celebrity media, the Republican base cheers and laughs with him.”
He’s the latest example of the celebrity media in action.
How? Do you really think Cruz would have a chance in hell of overcoming the machine if Trump weren't in it?
Without a Cruz nomination, or perhaps Trump himself, I predict the greatest Conservative "no-show" of all time.
The only way there will be a "split" is if Trump goes Independent, and the GOP actually nominates Cruz...and that ain't happening.
