Political Establishments Getting Kicked Where it Hurts

This was quite well-written. I think the author could have added one more salient point: Voters on both sides of the aisle have actively begun trusting their parties to lead them astray, and therefore the voters stand in stark defiance of the advice given by the parties.

When you are continually lied to, eventually you start assuming that everything said is just another lie.

DEATH TO THE UNIPARTY!

There is an interesting underlying subtext here. Up until this election, the media would laugh at any suggestion of an “establishment” or a “uniparty.” This was our belief, developed from election after election where republicans deliberately ignored voters, or actively worked against our interests. In this election, this is now the “official narrative”. This is an important ideological battle that we have won.

Were they all to die, a mega party would result.

We could burn the carcasses, right after taking bodacious Obamas on them.

When only the oligarchs are represented can “we the people” claim that it’s taxation without representation?

Speaking of a certain establishment candidate:-)
U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras issued an order Thursday requiring State to release batches of the still-undisclosed portion of Clinton’s emails on Feb. 13, 19 and 26 with “all remaining documents” released by “the close of business” on Feb. 29.

I hate to say this but IMHO we are being played. Unless there a super winner from here on out the way its playing nobody will have enough to win the nomination outright with all the players still in the game. This will force a convention where back-room dealing and super-delegates can steal it for the one the GOPe wants.

Good for the judge

It is nice validation.

Thanks for the pings and the wonderful recaps, AW!!

Much appreciated :)

It is wonderful to see a long standing political system disintegrating right before our eyes. A system that hates Americans.

We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate instead of the GOPe and DEMe elites who hate us, selecting our candidates.

There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar is happening with the DEMes.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollers and focus groups, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.

We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations, and we are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment.

^ 10!

Thanks old FRiend.

PLease feel free to use any or all of my reply.

This is our last chance to leave something good for our children, grand kids, nieces/nephews and grand nieces/nephews.

Why would you even say that? I see no indication of it.

Borderline candidates are dropping out. Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Fiorina in the last few days.

Carson is only staying in for some strange reason but he has no chance.

I think Rubio is going way downhill. Even Fox didn’t mention his name much today.

So, it’s between Cruz and Trump. There will be a winner.

I’m all over it.

Cruz double maxed.

Excellent point.

Because its by delegates not states won and with super delegates its still up in the air. GOPe needs only keep the top one from getting 51% - with Cruz, Rubio, Trump and Bush in till the end, thats very doable unless Trump blows out a bunch of the States - which is unlikely with Cruz and Rubio in...

All well and good. However, they need to be hit harder STILL - so hard it hurts so bad. THUS - THE REASON WE MUST VOTE TRiUMPh

Give him a MANDATE. Without the majority of WTP, the establishment will never listen, never hear. GO get 'em TRiUMPh
