Let me be clear ... it is essential for the recovery of the free American republic that Donald Trump should be the next president. This realization alone should be the foundation of the campaign this summer and autumn.
To some extent, the election turns on the issue of whether or not Hillary Clinton is even minimally qualified to be president. The current office holder was not and has not become qualified, but protected by an elitist class of apologists, he has clung to that bare minimum of public support required to avoid stronger scrutiny that would surely lead to impeachment.
This has been an eight-year crisis for the survival of the United States of America in a recognizable form. Of course, the nation will not disappear just because it is poorly governed. But it could be so reduced as an economic, military and political force that it would become "de facto" a sort of colony of the globalist elite which is partly located within its boundaries and partly in the rest of the world.
This is what some other western nations want for themselves and they can have it. For example, in my home country of Canada, the people have essentially surrendered self-government to an unelected globalist elite who run just about everything by secret committee, the parliament is used simply to rubber-stamp their decisions. And most people know this, and refuse to lift a finger to change anything, because they have been brainwashed to accept that elitist policy is right for them, that their own political class is irrelevant and should just take orders.
This is also essentially how Barack Obama governs. However, there is an overtone of excessive denial of the radical Islamist agenda. Globalism may or may not choose in the future to oppose the Islamist agenda. At the moment they tend to get along because both are working to weaken the national sovereignty of free nations.
This is the world that Donald Trump enters, and proposes to change. The problem so far has been an insufficient articulation of what that problem is, and how he would change things. People who already support Trump get most of this (or all of it) and instinctively recognize that Trump would be their only viable option, not so much because of what he has declared as the sure probability that he could not be anywhere near as big a risk as Hillary Clinton.
Make no mistake, Hillary Clinton will accelerate the reversal of independence that underscores the sellout of the national sovereignty of America (and any other free country) to the globalist elite. She will dress it up as a progressive agenda to "modernize" the country, which is just code for completion of the colonialization -- it is no longer the case that the United Nations has an office in America, but that the United States is run from the United Nations, in effect.
Trump, therefore, needs to stand very firm on this central principle -- America is a free and sovereign nation, a republic with division of powers, but all of these resting with the will of the people. Not a globalist elite or their business front on Wall Street, but the American people from coast to coast. This may take more than just an election, but it must start with that election of an alternative kind of president, one who is aware of the meaning of the constitution, who is ready to defend the constitution, and who is able to unite the American people against their prospective overlords.
The situation has been described as revolutionary, but any sensible analysis will show that it is actually counter-revolutionary. There is an ongoing revolution against the established constitutional order. That is what Democratic politics since about 1964 has been all about, and the trend accelerates with every change of leadership.
Republican politics have been too much concerned with accommodation, with moderating the pace of change, rather than confronting the trends and reversing them.
Special interest groups, including tiny but very influential sexual-deviance groups, demand that all levels of government bow down to their demands, sometimes within days of them being first enunciated.
A false scientific principle, overinflated and hyped up well beyond its limits of uncertainty, is used to push the economy off track so that taxation can be increased to fuel an ever-growing public sector. This is really the only actual justification for the climate change myth.
The national government blindly seeks to pull in hundreds of thousands of unsuitable migrants from war zones in Asia and Africa who have shown no large potential to integrate into American life. When anyone complains about this, they are labelled racist, but at some point it becomes a matter of national survival rather than political choices. The same can be said for the rapidly dissolving border between the U.S.A. and Mexico. No great nation can survive the wound of an undeclared and undefended border especially when, on the other side of that border, one can easily see that there are millions (more) prospective migrants with no loyalty whatsoever to the constitution or values of this country
Trump needs to be very clear on these points. I think he has been on some, and certainly is in a good position to launch a full scale campaign on them.
Some things are not negotiable. Bringing in thousands of unsuitable, potentially violent migrants is national suicide. Allowing millions of economic migrants, most of them illegal, will further undermine the economy and social services. It all needs to stop, and in this next presidential term. And we need to stand up to the climate zealots and explain, patiently but forcefully, that their bluff has been called and that we can live with the climate we already have, thank you very much. The alternative is to pave over most of the country with unproductive wind farms and largely useless mega-projects for solar energy. Wind energy is a harmful and destructive concept that has done far more harm than good. Solar energy might work one day on a large scale and experimentation should be encouraged, but there is no panic on this, oil reserves are still quite large, natural gas is in abundant supply.
Basically, the foundation of Trump's path to victory is pretty obvious -- restore adult supervision, respect the constitution, make rational decisions -- the three Rs.
With Clinton (or Sanders) it would be the three S's ... socialism, sexual dysfunction, and stupidity.
And as somebody who started out the political season supporting Ted Cruz (and I still admire the man's core political principles), I am calling for a total coming together of all forces within the conservative movement.
It is too important to the survival of the free American republic to take any other position.
No Repub would have won in 2008 post-market crash.
Was a Cruz supporter. Now Trump all the way.
He will seal my approval if he just blows up some of the cancer that is Bureaucratic America. One of the true scourges of our time.
No, the election turns on who gets the most votes. Thus, Trump needs to win big the Independents, keep winning with White males, increase his White female vote, get some Blacks and Some Hispanic and the youth vote. He does this with a simple message with 3 main issues and then another 7 or so down the line. Number 1- The economy and jobs, we're in the 7th year of the great Obama recession - Trump should do very well here. Number 2: Illegal immigration Number 3: Reduce the size and scope of government and taxes. 4-10 are fairly obvious where he beats Hillary. Next GOTV Get out the vote.
Trumps’s loss will square fall at the feet of the RNC!!! They had an agenda from the get-go and that was to destroy trump and make a mockery monkey out of him.... Romney ,Ryan and the rest will never ever see a damn nickel from me ever again!!! I will never vote for a Republican again. I am so finished with the Republican Party and I know millions feel the same way I do! They haven’t seen nothing yet! The Republican Party is SO cooked, roasted, done for !! They single-handedly gave us Hillary for president ! I will never forgive nor forget ever!
Oops meant to say “ they will single handedly give us hitlery for president in November!”
There is only one man who can defeat Trump, and he is doing a heck of a job.

The guy has an IQ of 157, and yours..
Strikes me that the actual campaign will be vastly different from this current silly season discussion.
I think Trump is the one candidate with enough strength of personality to withstand the firestorm of Democrat-media distraction from the real issues.
I believe this will become self-evident in September.
But what happens now to the convention is important only in terms of taking advantage of any opportunities to broaden the base slowly but surely. If there isn’t much traction in the summer, it won’t be a fatal blow. But it’s a good time to practice being presidential.
It’s pretty clear from facial expressions and body language that on CNN, staffers have been warned by powers that be to give Hillary unwavering support without hints of doubt or criticism. Somebody will break from those ranks at some point. That in itself may be a game-changer.
We are a long way into this revolution without seeing any dissident movement from within. Sure there are dissidents from the natural opposition, but in our case, it’s a choice between spiritual death and speaking out. For the palace guard, it’s a choice between job security and the truth. That’s a harder choice to make.
