January 20, 2017. President Trump takes his place behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office at 1:45 p.m. and opens a note from Barack Obama. "Good luck. Have a yuuuuuge day today, because the next four years are going to suck. --Barack"
Propelled to office on a campaign of "making America great again" without ever explaining how he will do it, Trump rides high on a wave of gnosticism: The belief in secret knowledge. One of my favorite writers, Jonah Goldberg, posited that both Sanders and Trump's campaigns are based on a political version of a religious heresy (Gnosticism, with a capital "G").
In an era when everything was suffused with religious meaning and orthodoxy, the heretical Gnostics argued that the official story of Christianity was a ruse. They claimed special insight and secret wisdom. They knew the real deal. If the Gnostics were alive today, they might send you e-mail spam saying, "Click here to learn the five things the Church doesn't want you to know about your eternal soul."

Far from overturning this empowerment, Trumpolitik will further entrench it and shield it with the benighted conspiratorial tones of political gnosticism. If Trump takes office in 2017, after one yuuuge party, we will all wake up the next day to a four year hangover, with repercussions felt for many more.
Trump: The GOP's 2008 Obama.

The Ministry of Propaganda can’t believe we’re not listening to them.
Let's see about that....
Obama: Harvard Law School grad, first-term Senator.
Cruz: Harvard Law School grad, first-term Senator.
It would seem that Cruz has that angle covered.
Rush Limbaugh interview Erik Erickson for the February 2016 isssuuue of the Limbaugh Letter. In the interview, Erickson actually said in answer to about Christian persecution: “Well, not in ways that we see overseas. No one here is going to be beheaded because they’re a Christian.”
So his powers of observation are .... ?

LOL!
Jonah Goldberg, one of the Heavyweights of Conservative Thought.
Not. :)
You’d think they’d give up on the failed tactic of obsessing about Trump 24/7, and maybe try espousing some reasons to vote for their preferred candidate.
Oh well. Train keeps a’ rollin’.
NO!!! You don't understand, JoSixChip!
