Is it just me or do others also detect a deep bitterness in the “farewell addresses “ of the candidates this cycle?
A bitterness, I don’t remember from the past. Or am I just looking back to the past through white and blue lens?
I think we are seeing a absolute hatred of Donald Trump and the voters that support him by the elite. They are not going to easily surrender their power and the money that comes with it.
I thought Jindal’s anti-Trump screed was particularly inflammatory. I guess in a week we’ll have 6 single-digiters nobody’s ever heard of writing a collaborative attack on Trump that nobody will ever read.
But yeah some wierd shenanigans going on, for sure.
They always hated the voters. It's just more obvious now that the voters have an alternative.
Just like Michael Corleone did to Tessio in The Godfather, Donald Trump is messing with all the elites’ “arrangements.” When there are 17 candidates and you are paying for at least ten of them for who knows how long, those paying tend to get upset. They don’t like uncertainty. They want to call all the shots. They want to be in control and just make it seem like the little people are making the choice. They had the system all planned out and it has worked in the past. Trump blew all their plans to bits.
As for the idea of “we the people’s” constitutional power, everyone with eyes can see that the Emperor is wearing a birthday suit when it comes to choosing presidents. Trump is a chance to alter things politically. At least for this election.
