After Donald Trump’s defeat, the U.S. will have to contend with a ‘war’ between the states
Market Watch ^ | October 13, 2016 | By Darrell Dalmeide

Hillary Clinton’s “dream” of a common market throughout the American hemisphere is a dystopian nightmare to many in this country.

This dream was featured in one of the excerpts from her paid speeches to financial institutions released last week by WikiLeaks.

My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future,” Clinton said in a 2013 speech for Banco Itau of Brazil, “with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.”

John Kass of the Chicago Tribune wondered this week if Clinton would explain what she meant with these remarks of a borderless Western hemisphere. “An America without borders? That’s not a dream, that’s a nightmare,” Kass wrote in the Tribune. “Ask the Europeans. They know.”

Kotkin, an expert in economic geography, says the Electoral College map “reflects an increasingly stark conflict between two very different American economies.”

One, concentrated on the coasts and largely Democratic, he calls the “Ephemeral Zone,” because it deals primarily in digits and images, the movement of software, media and financial transactions. The other, mostly Republican, is the “New Heartland,” which produces tangible things like food, fiber and manufactured goods.

In his view, Trump should and probably will lose, but that will not put an end to this divide. “The new war between the states will not end in November,” he says. “It will have hardly just begun."

In this economic climate, Kotkin contends, Republicans could still make progress in this election, even with Trump at the top of the ticket likely to lose.

“Once Trump is gone,” he says, “there will be enough political will and money to mount a counter-offensive” against the blue-state digital economy.

Not to worry.

The “War between the States” will be overshadowed by the war that she and the other warmongers in D.C. will start with Russia.

LOL. What a day dream. Patriots are not sheep. The GOP will be destroyed if the GOP establishment manages to throw the election to Hillary Criminal.

No. Not a war between the states.

A war between the willfully enslaved and those that yearn to breath free.

Putinist Russia doesn’t seem to have any problem starting wars without Hillary Criminal.

If Hillary wins, elections won’t matter anymore. Her SCJ’s will override any American legislation and will fully support the globalist collectivist vision. It will be the day America died. The stench may take a few years to permeate.

This is why our Government is trying to start a war with Russia right now. They need to make us enemies with Russia and quickly in case Trump wins. Trump will work with Putin to annihilate ISIS and Obama/Hillary cannot have that, they are with Islam. If Hillary wins she can back off from the conflict, but they are going to start it up with Russia, you can count on that.

There will be a personal “war” I know.

If Hillary assumes the throne I will “secede” from the United States and declare it an enemy. I will never again pledge allegiance to the flag, or to the government of the United States.

The United States of America will be dead.

Exactly...maybe they don’t understand, but let me be clear. I am DONE if Trump loses. This is it folks. This is our one chance to turn things around for us and our children. We’ll never see the likes of a Donald Trump ever again.

Yeah, he's probably an expert in a lot of things < /sarc>

says the Electoral College map “reflects an increasingly stark conflict between two very different American economies.”

Which states?

Look at the county-by-county election map. It's more like a war between the country folks and the big city filth.

The GOP will be destroyed

They don’t care. Isn’t the GOP essentially the alternate wing of the DNC?
Why else do they keep giving us losers. Why else do they lose in the face of victory. Why do they concede/compromise when they don’t have to?
Why do they act like Trump is a radical? He wants to stop invaders? Build a wall? He want to lower taxes on corporations? Help inner cities?
Doesn’t sound radical to me....maybe i am a radical?
