Their plan is
- for
Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio - TO GET THE "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS"
- TO A BROKERED CONVENTION !
The elites still don’t get it.
They are as far removed from knowing what the public wants as the nobility was at Versailles in 1789.
The election of Trump is the French Revolution sans guillotine.
Long live the people!
All the rest can be sorted out later.
Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio First and for most just look at the arena’s this is a peoples movement, an FU movement, a peoples revenge movement aimed at the GOP first and the rats second and they do get it.

Mmmhhmmm

Oh, there's still time for them to build a guillotine.
I think you are right. And all the traitorous politicians, press, and pundits are due their comeuppance.
More like Italy circa 1936
What the public wants?? If it’s Trump v. Hillary they want the Hildabeast. The Public HATES Trump esp those that will vote.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a French Revolution. The French didn’t think it would lead to all the beheading either, what happened was certain people hijacked that revolution and took it somewhere else. Founding Fathers like Adams and Jefferson went to France to help their republican (form of Government) brothers, and where sickened by what they saw. That is the problem with revolutions and why one must be very careful about starting one. Because sometimes you get the American Revolution type, and most often you get the French Revolution, or the Bolshevik one. It is not until after it is too late that one realizes which you get.
The election of Trump is the French Revolution sans guillotine.Wow, this is the first time I've agreed with a Trump supporter!
I would just add regarding the "sans guillotine" part: not yet.
During the French Revolution, the guillotine ended up being used on tens of thousands of people who's only crime was to not support the leadership feverishly enough. See "Reign of Terror" for more information.
And, of course, this lead directly to the dictator Napoleon.
Yup, I think we may be playing out that scenario again. The only difference is that I am not rooting for "Emperor Donald duh First" as a final solution.
How did that turn out, or do you recall that bit about Napoleon declaring himself, "emperor." Then what happened?
Actually, this is pretty accurate. And frightening.
What is the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution? Why did ours work, and theirs devolve into chaos and the guillotine? Because ours was built on the idea of limited government and that the systems of government were the basis of freedom, not the people in government. People will always be flawed. They will always seek their own interests. The only way to defeat that is with a system that constrains them.
The French was a traditional "revolution." Replace them with us. Send the evil men to the blade and institute a government of good people. And that is why it failed, and failed so bloodily.
Donald Trump can do nothing that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or even Barack Obama can't. He's not a "savior," or even a good man. What matters is the principle behind him. What matters is how our next president is going to reign in (or, more terrifyingly, expand) the size and scope of government. What matters is how he is going to approach the federal beast that rules us through regulation and unelected bureaucrats.
And, honestly, that is where Trump is most wanting. He doesn't want to shrink government (at least not anywhere I've seen him say so) as a general principle. In fact, he seems perfectly happy to use government for his own ends. He has a "New York" attitude towards government; the same kind of attitude that has spawned our present problems!
A RINO is a RINO because he is happy to use the power of government, even if it is to do the opposite of what the Democrats want. They believe in the same structure, just to different ends. That's why we are in this mess today.
The only way out is to shrink the size and scope of government. This is hard and slow. There was a thread on FR the other day where a Freeper got very angry at the suggestion that government should not force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. She had a child with one, and would be damned if she was going to let him suffer by going back to the old system of health care. This is the problem we face!
Conservative principles is like free speech. The 1st Amendment doesn't protect free speech in order to guard the speech you like. It exists to guard the speech you don't like from you. Likewise, conservative principles don't exist to give us want we want. They exist to help us reject what we do want, but shouldn't have government provide. And I see no understanding of that by Mr. Trump.
So, usher in our own "French Revolution." Just remember that Robespierre went to the guillotine himself...
>>>The election of Trump is the French Revolution
Yeah, that turned out really well.
