Unlike Sununu who talked Bush I into appointing Souter who championed eminent domain. Last I heard, the big corporation who kicked the people out of their homes with the help of Justice Souter now has the land sitting vacant because they moved their HQ to another country.

Nothing like projection, eh, Sununu?

The maggots are crawling out of the woodwork. Trump is exposing them all.

Trump can win whether the voters wakeup or not. I think the consequences of Obama’s piss poor judgment is beginning to materialize in very tangible ways where its hitting wallets where it hurts.

Sununu suffers from cognitive dissonance. Trump wins when the electorate WAKES up.

..."win anywhere if the electorate doesn’t wake up.”

Ping.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Andrew Jackson's 1828 campaign, there was a similar sense from J. Q. Adams and Henry Clay that a Jackson victory would send everything off the rails. Property requirements for federal elections had gone by the wayside two years earlier, and there was a fear that newly enfranchised laborers would elect Jackson if somebody didn't wake up.

But they phrased it differently. They focused on Jackson's military past, arguing that he would be an American Napoleon. "You shouldn't trust a general to run these things," is a paraphrase of a quote from the era. Of course, they conveniently forgot that George Washington had been a general.

Putting aside the fact that Van Buren viewed Jackson as his tool -- after all, Jackson viewed Van Buren as his tool -- I'm sensing a parallel here. The political establishment of that era feared that a populist outsider would wreck their cozy little arrangements, and I'm seeing a similar hysteria from the Republican Establishment. "He just isn't one of us," or "He's just not a sound man," is what I expect I'd be hearing if I were permitted to attend their three-martini gatherings at the country club.

As I mentioned to you in an earlier thread, if Trump succeeds, we're looking at the kind of realignment election that occurred in 1800, 1828, 1860, 1896, 1932 and 1980. The fact that Trump excites people who don't normally vote "because it only encourages them" would appear to form the basis for a complete political realignment against a Uniparty establishment.

I had almost forgotten about Sununu. I’ll bet he is upset this year.

Trump has thoroughly explained that he doesn’t support single payer health care. He may have said he did many years ago, but he’s evolved. Sununu hasn’t evolved at all, he’s still an establishment rino dipshit. Sununu’s so threatened by Trump he’s willing to bold faced lie like the democrats always do.

Where were any of these people when Obama was running?

The GOPe didn’t complain.

The DNC didn’t complain.

The MSM didn’t complain.

Academia wasn’t all aflutter.

The Pundits were calm.

The blogosphere was seemingly content to act as if there were two ideologies at work in our nation.

Now, every one of these entities are as solid as a single unit to take Donald Trump down.

Seriously folks.

I’ve never even come close to seeing this sort of a total melt down.

None of these groups complained about McCain.

The GOPe that wants to excommunicate Trump had no concerns with McCain at at all.

Our blogosphere wasn’t happy, but they didn’t unite to take him down.

Even the supporters of other candidates should be able to see this?

Wow...

Speaks volumes, doesn’t it? These DC elites are in it TOGETHER, for themselves.

Tells us why they ALL (UniParty) fear Trump so much. They’re both attacking him, unlike they’ve ever attacked any candidate before. They see their apple carts getting all upset, with a Trump upset ;-)

David Rockefeller runs the United States, at least he did. I’m sure someone else has taken over by now, but...

In 2014 two Princeton professors concluded that America is an Oligarchy:

“…Our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association, and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But we believe that if policy making is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America’s claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened.”

You ain’t seen nothing yet. This will be the nastiest presidential campaign any of us have seen since 1968 and much of the nastiness will come from the GOP toward its own base.

Conservativism as we know it may end up an underground political movement persecuted by a sick, degenerate society governed by a tyrannical central authority with unlimited powers.

Good call Jane. The money-changers outside the temple...

He has them absolutely terrified.

They know that if he and Cruz are elected, it will set back their one-worlder plans for as much as 20-30 years.

So does sununu support the real conservative Cruz instead, or the real leftists like chrissy?

I agree, that would be the real acid test. If he was foaming at his mouth that Republicans should be backing a real conservative like Cruz, I might think he was sincere. Instead he just comes of as the person he is -- a political hack who wants to keep the Washington establishment, and its cronyism, in place.

Sure, Trump is an uncertainty, and a blank slate in many ways, but if Cruz doesn't make it, I'll be voting for Trump. At least he has the right enemies (the Media and the GOP ruling class).

Yes, we better "wake up" and trust our "leaders."

We did so well trusting the out-of-control alcoholic weeper and the homosexual who got thrown out of the Army for sodomy.

Maybe. Maybe not. It might be harder than the uniparty thinks to shove the movement Trump ignited (and TEA started) underground. Look at the crowds. And many are older, armed and spoiling for a fight to save their country.
