He’ll likely lose - but Trump is the final warning to elites
The Globe and Mail ^ | oct 07, 2016 | John Ibbitson

Donald Trump will probably lose the election. But he is a final warning. Unless political elites of both the left and the right become more humble, unless they once again ask themselves how their agendas will play in Peoria, the next rough beast might slouch over the corpse of the republic.

So true. If Hillary gets in, she will finish what Obama started. We’re done.

Trump has 10,000 at his rallies and Hillary's crowds are so small she no longer holds rally.

The press doesn't get a vote on November 8th.

Trump is our last chance. There is no do over. It will take a armed rebellion to correct the error. None of us wants that so we must get out and vote.

To begin with, this election is being run by the American Voter, not the usual cronies that decide years ago who will be the leader...this is why nothing is working that they have tried to do to get rid of Trump...

WE, the PEOPLE have taken over, the old playbooks from Jefferson on though are not working, but the media thinks it can dig up 25 or 30 year old stuff on Trump and he will run away, not happening...

When Trump said he could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and we would still support him, he knew what he was talking about...WE SUPPORT TRUMP!!! Got it yet? or do you need to go back to First Grade and learn all over again???

If Trump loses, I will promote the forced bankruptcy of Fed.gov. Its best done now while there is still some respect for what remains of the Constitution.

Fed.gov is out of control. It and its statist/progressive masters create massive debt, at zero interest rates, which is their means of control and support for their social engineering schemes.

Congress has simply become a rubber-stamp organization.

Believe I heard HRC say that Trump voters want an “America that is gone”. That has been their goal since the Bush/Clinto/Obama takeover of sovereign Americans country.

Pray that enough of us are awake to not miss this last chance to change it.

"A vote for H->! is a vote for Islam in the US."

A vote for Hillary is a vote to give aid and comfort to the enemy and to betray the United States, as all Demonicrats have done.

The only good Demonicrat is a tried, convicted, sentenced and hanged Demonicrat.

Trump’s campaign is the last best hope we have of handing the ruling elites a well-deserved bloody nose, and we better stop the doom and gloom, and go out and do just that.

IF Trump loses, it will be the end of America, even the corrupted, almost unrecognizable one we have now, will be swept away and replaced by Hillary’s version of America. The elites will declare full and FINAL victory over the unwashed masses, and those masses may grumble and gripe a bit, but in the end we will lick their boots, and accept whatever crumbs they choose to toss to us.

I’ve heard here the comment that a Hillary win could very indeed be the worst thing to happen to the American people, but it could also be the worst thing to happen to her personally. At least Obama’s youth and idealism and that many people were fed up with a lot of what took place under Bush gave him (Obama) that little bit of leeway in 2008-2009, which certainly did not last terribly long (with the 2010 mid term election result).

I can not see Hillary being granted that sort of leeway, with her very bad personal optics and whole host of related issues. It could really be that not particularly pleasant spectacle even at the very start of her administration.

What does it even mean?

It's literary a take-off on Yeats' The Second Coming.

Trump is hardly a rough beast. He may engage in a form of verbalized street fighting, when he is insulted; but he is a highly intelligent patriot, who unlike the pseudo intellectual trash that has been dominating our Federal politics since 1992, he is an instinctive Conservative, who understands that the Constitution requires Federal Office Holders to put America & the Americans First.

Metaphor For American Conservatism

Trump: The Issue.

It’s nuts to say Trump will lose. The election will tell.

Or are you a Hillary cheerleader posting this author’s views?

“Don’t count him out.”

Don’t count him out? You must have fallen for the MSM spin whereby Hillary is the default position — and she cannot even draw a crowd.

The reason they are predicting a loss is because the cheat is in the bag. Everyone knows it and pretends it ain’t so.

Shrillary doesn’t bother campaigning because she doesn’t need to. She just does fundraisers because the money is needed for the cheat payoffs.

if Trump loses, the “Elits” will be embolden and know they will never be challenged again at the top levels of power.

Why do I say this you ask?

Here is why:
- untold millions of illegals will be made citizens
- untold millions will be let into this country from every hell hole on earth
- the rules for elections will be completely rewritten in their favor
- the new overlords of the internet will effectively squash any opposition to those in power

All these new “citizens” will owe their alliegence to the Dems and vote that way untill elections become nothing more than token polls that will have no meaning.
