When George Bush said he feared he would be the last Republican president everyone thought he was talking about the effect of Trump being the nominee. In my opinion that's not what he meant at all.
IMO, What he meant is that he fears the level of corruption is at the point where the election is irrelevant. Hillary will win as will all socialist/marxists from this point on. I think he believes his election for his second term was the last one where the actual vote of the people determined the winner.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't see how anything else can explain the actions of so many in our government that allowed Hillary to be cleared of any wrongdoing.
IMO, Bush knows the fix is in.
This is a very unique situation. One side consequence IMO is if he wins it might lead to more celebrities and billionaires getting in to politics on both sides. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is already talking about it generically for the future, for example. Most seem to think he is a Republican, but obviously there are more celebs on the other side. It will affect them too.
As for the issues, He’ll either win and hopefully do something about immigration and globalism, or lose and the issues are essentially over to the political class. Not to be overly dramatic, but I think we are at the final exit on the interstate for immigration. If he loses, we are going into never never land....same with globalism.
Even if he wins, what will he get accomplished? Hard to say.
I recently reviewed through my family’s history in the Civil War. Lots of my ancestors and their brothers died at Gettysburg, at Antietam, and in other battles, in both sides of that war. I’m hoping we’re not headed there again.
The cost of a second civil war would be extremely high. Then I look at the alternative as big government clamps down on freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the individual right to keep and bear arms, protections against unreasonable search and seizure, protections against excessive fines, states rights, and the rest of our constitutional protections. The alternative to civil war may be even worse than war itself, and our ability to protect ourselves from tyranny will only shrink over time.
Whatever else, it’s time for prayer. As Frank Loesser sang, “Praise the Lord, and . . .”
