One summer's evening, a skinny, not-particularly athletic boy, perhaps eleven years old, scored the most glorious touchdown of his life. This was not a real game. My friend and I, along with his older brother Phil, were just tossing a ball around in the park. But it was a memorable triumph because I scored my touchdown by outmaneuvering Phil with a head fake, and then outrunning him for half the length of the field. It was almost too easy!

...today, addressing myself to any Trump supporters who are not already lost to the irrational anger he feeds on -- please don't scream about "righteous anger," as if I don't know the difference between justice and wrath -- I pose three simple questions:
(1) Don't you get the strange feeling that this has all been suspiciously easy?
snip
(2) Don't you find it odd that Trump, who habitually says the harshest, crudest, vilest things he can think of about anyone he perceives as an opponent or threat, never substantively criticizes the key players in the establishment at all?
snip
(3) If you were Rove, McConnell, and the rest of the GOP elite, and you wanted to end the growing grassroots threat to your power and influence once and for all, how would you go about it?

You misspelled "eCubans"... :)
It is to laugh. :)

I think also that they have picked sides and interfered a few times too many. They are in short a liability to all of us, elite and unwashed masses alike. My hope is that we can lose these nitwits and get back to common sense.
Excellent post. :)
It was asked why I supported Trump, I answered...I don’t need to hear negative about Trump....go support your candidate with as much fun, love, and grace as I do, and then maybe people will listen..
Thank you NOT for your comments....
That's as good as you're going to get.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Give that man a cigar!
ROTFLMAO! Trump has done almost nothing but criticize the key establishment players. They hate him for hating them and dissing them.
I think our time for Sulla is past. Obama has crossed the Rubicon, we are being asked to choose our Octavian.
No. Check your history. G.W.Bush + Obama = Marius. Sulla “fixed” the Latin problem for a time.
Rove, McConnell et. al. are not that smart.
HYPOTHESIS FAIL!
Oh really.
However, when such stalwart titans of financial establishmentarianism as the Council of Foreign Relations and "The Economist", who until now had been largely ignoring Trump's ascent in the political hierarchy finally unleash an all out assault and go after Trump on the very same day, you know that the flamboyant, hyperbolic billionaire has finally gotten on the nerves of some very high net worth individuals.
From the zerohedge story linked to in another thread.
I should have written Latins instead of Latin. I’m guessing you know the difference, but others might not.
And, BTW, I agree that many who favor Trump are thinking they’re choosing their Octavian. Problem is in the details — “And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? “ — and recognizing that an emperor is what the Progs have wanted all along. The GOPe is filled with Progs.
I’ve recently become a praying man.
And just to be clear, I’m not yet convinced that Cruz is not one of them whereas I know Trump has been cooperating with them his whole life.
You are right. All they can do is copy what has worked for power brokers before. You know me a long time. In this season I have reverted to my very first tagline.
How better to assure a victory large enough to retake the senate and maybe they even the house? Just speculating.
Why thank you :)
YEP
the Gop/Rino candidate Rubio cant WIN amongst “republicans”....
hint nint hint..... he cant win a national election, but he can win rigged polls... hahahaha
the next AND ONLY “real conservative” comes in second and beat T once....
but not acceptable to the new world order crowd.... CFR crowd...
hillary is a wall street whore who bambuzzles blacks with her jive talk and will be indicted and probably pardoned by her fellow benghazi lying traitor....
SO WHEN ESTABLIMENTI CANT UNDERSATND WHAT IS GOING ON..... YEP BECAUSE THEY PLAY BOTH SIDES VIA THE UNIPARTY AND TRUMP AINT PLAYIN WITH THEM IF HE GETS ELECTED.... hopefully they wont scalia him....
Don't worry! Almighty Government can save you! They can provide for your every need! Until they don't.
Wake up. America is in decline for a reason, and it isn't because we don't have a strongman in the Presidency. This is systemic, and will not change until the moral values of this people that has been destroyed are rebuilt. And that will never happen while people are looking to the next strongman in power to make the trains run on time.
I think a lot deeper than your average Trump supporter. Have you ever seen Warren Buffet, George Soros, or any other financial elite criticize Trump? No, and you won't, either.
But, it doesn't matter. Time and again, people around the world have elected a strongman they thought could solve all their problems. And he did, too-- he made the trains run on time. Right up to the gates of the death camps. Laugh it up.
You need your meds checked
And you need to figure out who is really in power. Hint: it isn't GOPe. Romney DID NOT GET ELECTED last time, and won't this time.
And by the way: I would NEVER take psychotropic medicines in today's America, because of the threat to my right to keep and bear arms. Hmm, wonder if Trump does?
Like I told somebody else on this thread, learn who is in power. It isn't the GOPe. It is the financial types and the one-worlders. Tell me ONCE that Warren Buffet has criticized Trump. He hasn't, because Buffet knows he can profit from the chaos that Trump will bring.
And my the way-- Cruz can't fix it either, because there is no political solution at this point.
