The Clinton campaign's wobbly performance over the past 72 hours has set off a rash of behind-the-scenes handwringing among professional Republicans as they confront an unnerving new possibility: What if their nominee actually wins the White House?

For months, the prevailing wisdom within GOP political circles has been that Donald Trump stands little chance to win in November — and a large number of the party's consultants, fundraisers, and operatives privately preferred it that way. Though many of them are reluctant to say so in public, they argue that a Trump presidency would fracture their party, decimate the conservative movement, and wreak havoc on the global economy (not to mention their own industry).

These are the people hardest hit by Trump’s campaign strategy. He is not spending money on consultants, advertising, polling, etc. Thete are a lot of people in both parties that make their money that way. If Trump wins, it is a new campaign paradigm, and these people need to get a new job.

“Trying to blow those clowns out, beginning with the 2018 Congress will be tougher still.”

All Trump needs to do is align himself with the states to thwart all federal intrusions into state affairs. Congress and the bureaucracy are no match for the states invoking the 10th amendment.

If you even for a microsecond consider Trump for President, you should be executed.

The left would gladly build political prisons, make no mistake.

“As you say, the conservative movement is long gone, never to be seen again.”

What begins as a movement, becomes a business, and ends as a scam.

Establishment Conservatism, Inc. being a prime example.

The movement elected Reagan.

The business figured out how to make money with the conservative media entertainment complex.

The scam colludes with the Left to share power and control of the government and keeping American voters powerless.

You're right... all the totalitarian red flags are there for anyone to see... from 'thought crimes' legislation, to Big Lies, criminal classes propping up elites, legal 'double standards'... a ruling class on-the-take... contempt for everyday citizens... I'm amazed more people can't see it.

The little nazi’s coming out of college are particularly scary.
What’s good tho, is the pushback they are getting from those in their same age group (millenials). There’s still good values in America despite the brainwashing of schools.
