Donald Trump and 2015 / 2016 Considerations…

by sundance

Make no mistake about it, Donald Trump can win the GOP nomination and the White House in 2016 – But it will take a herculean amount of support from ordinary Americans to do it.

Like many others, I initially found myself doubtful that Donald Trump was going to actually mount a campaign. Now however, I’m increasingly and cautiously -even happily- optimistic he does actually intend to win the nomination. However, it’s going to take a huge amount of support from the body electorate to help Trump withstand what is in front of him.

Trump is the absolute nightmare of modern liberalism. In many ways his unabashed and unapologetic free market capitalism is the antithesis of everything progressives hate, and we do mean HATE.

However, in addition to the easily predictable supernova of hatred from the left, Trump will bring out a similar level of never before seen hatred from the professional political class within the Establishment Republican party, the GOP.

For those who have chosen to ignore years of indicators of such a strain of anger, bitterness and spite within the GOP, you are going to see it like never before.

While many within the Republican party generally present themselves with a friendly outward demeanor, there lies a deep seated spitefulness within the GOP that is every bit as vitriolic and hateful as identified within the Occupy-movement Democrats surrounding all their candidates. The acceptance of the GOP hate strain is what brought us to coin the term “Decepticons”.

cornyn_graham_roberts_cochran_mcconnell_apTry, just try, to push one of their protected political class candidates away from the trough, and you’ll soon see just how false is the construct of humility; and how mean-spirited, hateful, and bitter their self-serving approach will be.

Reference Chris McDaniel and Decepticon Thad Cochran’s 2014 race in Mississippi for a mild example – Remember, Cochran lost – yet that didn’t stop the GOP machine from forcing another primary election until they got the results they desired.

Oh yes, most assuredly the Bush campaign, and the Bush family, will wage a very public tear-down campaign against Team Trump. The former group openly visible, the latter with more subtlety but by no means less vitriolic.

The Chamber of Commerce has already constructed the ground rules for their chosen GOP candidate. Again, it is known to those who pay attention, and the entire nomination race is in large part a total farce while they maneuver toward their goals – Outlined Here.

You really don’t think that Marco Rubio would give up his Senate seat, and mount a campaign without an exit strategy (ie. Golden Parachute), do you? Team CoC, aka Team Bush, aka Tom Donohue, aka The GOP, are the ones financing that aspect of the ruse.

So along comes Trump, who the GOP, like us, never actually thought would do it.

As the campaign of Trump now comes complete with ever increasing polling support, the industrial media complex has activated their Defcon 5 level campaign to tear him down.

When you get beyond Defcon 3, otherwise known as the Todd Akin threshold, Republicans are utilized to amplify the marginalization. Remember the approach has three distinct goals:

Isolate – Ricidule – Marginalize.

The attackers are three fold. ♦ The GOP professional political class; ♦ the Democrat professional political class; ♦ and the ever present liberal Main Street Media. In essence, EVERYONE. Everyone, that is, except middle America – the common man/woman; or what punditry call the “broader” electorate.

They’ll seek destruction with attacks on several fronts. They’ll attack his financial empire, seeking to destroy his wealth and businesses (just like they attacked the Oregon Christian Bakery who refused to participate in a gay wedding). They’ll attack his family, friends and supporters. And they’ll attack him personally and relentlessly.

The bigger question is: can Trump withstand the attacks specifically intended to destroy him? Can a man, even a man as confident, cocky and filled with moxy like ‘The Donald’, withstand the firestorm which will lay afore him like a flea looking into a furnace.

Will Trump remain a successful, unapologetic, free-market capitalist; or, will the potential for complete financial destruction be too much for even Donald Trump to carry? Is it possible to stand up against decades of creeping cultural Marxism, advancing liberalism and massive left-wing influences in both the body politic and pop culture?

All of these aforementioned challenges are what’s brought so many people to the place where you continually hear things like: “we’ve passed the point of no return” etc.

Here’s my shortened retort.

If Donald Trump can’t do it, NO-ONE can.

Right now he’s go my full support. Not because I specifically appreciate the persona that is Donald Trump; rather more because unfortunately, I’ll admit, we need a persona like Donald Trump to fix this mess.

Beyond all other things I would customarily and historically disagree with him on (and there are many), I hold no reservations that Trump could actually be the guy to polish the beacon and make it blaze again.

But even a guy with the self confidence of Donald Trump needs to know they have support; that’s actually the point of writing this.

Whether or not you like Donald Trump – if you don’t want to see Jeb -V- Hillary, perhaps you should consider sending Trump a message to let him know you support him….

You don’t get it.

You have no idea what I "get".

As for you, professing to prefer communists and alinskyites over a free market capitalist is ridiculous.

I would rather vote for Hillary or Bernie the commie.

You don't mean that.

Remember the tagline: "live free or die"

Hillary and Sanders are the road to slavery. You are certain of it.

Given your preference for commies over capitalists, your opinion on anything else at this point is worthless.

Trump says what he means, and means what he says.
He doesn't mince words!

And maybe, just maybe, if some groups feelings are hurt because of something he says, well it might be that they deserve it!!!

Ever think of that?

Yeah, because a Marxist and a sociopath with communist background are SOoooo much better than trying to fight the slide into the abyss.
Real comfy in that handbasket!

Trump is not a quitter. His individual business parts went through 4 bankruptcies. Trump did not give up, he doubled down and made much more money.

Is Trump perfect? No! Is he bold and courageous? Yes!
The problem of 30 million or MORE illegals flooding the country is a problem which requires a bold leader. The professional politicians are incapable of solving this problem. They must obey to their sugar daddy rich donors, and the rich donors love the cheap labor to increase profits.

Nothing wrong with increasing profits, but everything wrong if it is done at the expense of middle class American citizens.

There is no way that Trump will take second position to anyone. And no way that Cruz could trust Trump to support administration positions if he did. Trump is the Herman Cain of the 2016 campaign and I expect him to self-destruct in just as spectacular a fashion.

You are honestly equating Donald Trump with Winston Churchill? Really?

There are no rumors of Trump philandering outside of his marriage. There will be no bimbo eruptions. That was the main reason Cain dropped out. But you must keep your hope alive that Trump will self-destruct. Because that is the only hope you have for your preferred candidate to win, whoever that is.

Mrs Trump:

Trump has a shine that I think will wear off and when that happens Cruz will be there to own the issues that Trump has brought to the forefront of the battle.
That is my hope.
As for today, go Trump.

Marriages, plural. I think he's on his third. And it's still early in the campaign.

But there are other ways of crashing and burning in an election campaign other than infidelity. And Trump is capable of finding any or all of them. He is incapable of controlling his mouth and now that people are paying more attention to him he's finding out that the slightest slip will make the media for several news cycles.

Trump passing gas would make the news media for three cycles if they though it would lessen him in the public’s eyes.

Trump is giving them all the ammunition they need.

Well, it certainly is working to keep his name on the front page.

It seems to be backfiring though, as far as the media is concerned, as his support is increasing, rather than waning.

I’m willing to bet Ronald Reagan, and you, don’t give the kind of money Trump did to Democrats. And I’m willing to bet you didn’t support Obama.

Yes, people can change. But Donald Trump is nobody’s conservative.

He’s.
A.
Democrat.
