Speaking of voters, said Caddell, They are so angry … I shouldn’t just say angry, they are so alienated from their government in a democracy … they are so believing in the corruption, numbers in the eighty-percentile and higher, they believe the country is in decline and the political class just doesnt care.
Citing voters concerns for both themselves and their childrens futures, said Caddell, “They have really disdained both political parties now.†Caddell said the great American middle has become about 60 percent of the electorate who vote non-partisan and want real change.
“And they want their country back, he added. This is the swells versus the American people, he added. when you get to economics it’s the ‘global citizen types’ who believe in free trade – it’s all great for them – and the rest of the people in this country who are really taking it in the neck when it comes to jobs and wages.â€
Caddell pointed out that only Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% and Donald Trump are willing to say that they see that America is in decline, which Caddell feels resonates with approximately 80 percent of American voters today. As for Trump invoking a populism and nationalism that perhaps runs contrary to the traditional Wall Street-aligned view held by the Republican establishment, Trump has essentially borrowed the Republican Party to run for president and they don’t much like it,
When asked if he was concerned about the suggestion that Republican front-runner Donald Trump comes with an authoritarian streak that should give Constitutionalists pause, caddell said he knew Trump personally and wasn’t concerned. He cited the administration of Andrew Jackson as one in which the American people took their government back for themselves, as opposed to the “swells†mentioned above as perhaps a more fitting comparison.

Many of us wanted our country back long before anyone ever heard of Obama.
I like the part where TRUMP has “ borrowed the Republican Party “ to move on populism and nationalism, contrary to the liking of Wall Street and the Republican Establishment.
That is how we all feel.
We are borrowing the Republican Party to wreck the GOPE and the Cheap Labor Express, WS crowd who have given Obama everything he wanted.
What are we going to do with Paul Ryan? He has got to GO.
We are at that point in history where we need those few, those precious few, those little band of brothers.
A return to tarring and feathering politicians who lose sight of who elected them and who they are supposed to represent would likely change the culture of political elitism.
Most likely, most politicians would need only need to be ‘reminded’ once.
Never forget Lavoy Finicum!!!
The judges and bureaucrats will run things in exile if the Democrats accidentally lose. Then the media will present howls of pain every day until the Dems are elected again.
Have watched this stuff for 50 years.
If we don’t forget to vote on the “NO King but Jesus” ballot, then our votes might get us even better than “our country back.” They might get us our self respect and our optimism back too.
Finicum is a lesson on 2 levels, that of government overstep and that of personal drama-queening overstep. A fool fell into the hands of fools. Not something we want to see repeated from either end.
There are going to be casualties. There will be “rivers of blood.”-Thomas Jefferson.
TRUMP!
bump!
Will they wear blue or grey?
Same here, actually the disintegration of America started in about 1954 and accelerated in the 1960’s.
Don’t we see time and time again from posters here they really don’t feel like they are Republicans anymore. I don’t believe in the GOPe.
So saying Trump hijacked the party to reach out to Americans who are pissed off it is a pretty good turn of phrase.
One thing to sit in your powdered wig and pen that with your quill.
Another thing to try to countenance it.
The sacrifice from Calvary still stands effective. The blood this time around doesn’t need to be of mortals unless we are truly foolish in insisting upon it.
I wonder if the democrats have booted Caddell out and yanked his membership card.....
He’s always been kind of an outlier.
Sort of a 1950s type Democrat
Yeah, sure. I’ll bet every illegal alien that votes says they want their country back.
