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.

We are borrowing the Republican Party to wreck the GOPE and the Cheap Labor Express, WS crowd who have given Obama everything he wanted.
Well said, Go Trump Go
What are we going to do with Paul Ryan? He has got to GO.
Ryan isn’t the only one. Lots of these guys lied on their application for the job and are there on false pretenses.
Primary them and even if they win then vote for the DEM and cleans the Rino TURDs out of the party.
Its the Donors who turned the GOPe into Anti American labor party.
1. Win the election.
2. Tear down the NE media elite.
3. Jail the entire establishment.
4. Fire every fed employee hired by a Democrat.
5. Profit.
Caddell is a Zell Miller, Scoop Jackson type Dem. I rember Zell Miller speaking at the GOP Convention.
See as you grow up, mature, get wisdom, you become conservative. Its a life long process.
Zell Miller (now 83 yrs old) did well with that speech.
“What are we going to do with Paul Ryan? “
Gitmo.
Removing the CONTROL and influence that Obola’s Washington-NYC-LAX national press corpse is the key.
When everything is propagandized through a socialist/communist eyes, Obola’s control makes sense.
Sage analysis from the Cookie Monster.
Lavoy and the others may have not thought out their plan or lack of one in any other way than to say to the feds” get off my lawn”.
And thanks to their action there has been a much greater awareness as to the likely direction the “oppressors” will take to resistance and further acts of disobedience.
The actions of Lavoy and others are not wasted.
While I agree with his comment 100%, the electorate is largely the same one that gave it all away 7 years ago.
I’ve always admired Pat Caddell. Like Nat Hentoff, he’s one of the old-school liberals that one can respect and learn a lot from even if you don’t always quite agree with them.

He seems to be having issues keeping his right eye open as of late. I can’t help but notice it, it’s consistently lazy and closing on him. He’s not a favorite of mine but I hope he’s having that looked at... something is definitely wrong.
Caddell makes some good points, but he loses me at 60% of the electorate being up for grabs.
There’s no way it’s even close to being that high. But it might just be high enough to get enough new/inconsistant voters to turn out to overcome the demographics and identity politics so deeply rooted in the Presidential year electorate.
What are we going to do with Paul Ryan?

Same thing we did to our weasel Eric Cantor
CANTORIZE YOUR WEASELS, AMERICA!
I miss Zell. (Never thought I’d say that about a Democrat).
just how far north can the old America plunge!???
Never mind.............
Dick.G: AMERICAN!

Semper FIDELIS
Planet: WTF!

Remember judges have no power beyond the will of the elected. We have allowed the judiciary too much power. Our political class has wanted it that way for a number of reasons. First, most of them are lawyers and are comfortable living in that world. Allowing the “judiciary” to make laws saves them from making tough votes.
A president can get around rulings in many ways if he or she chooses. Just look at Obama. I would love to see a President closer to my views who had the same attitude.
Zell was a great Governor and was Lt Governor before that for sixteen years. He was a good Senator but could not stand Washington, DC.,
I do too. Zell “spit ball” Miller.
Yep. I'd posted a graphic some weeks ago that I found online that expressed much the same sentiment: Donald Trump is a tool, to be used for the destruction of the GOP-E and to start taking America back.
Most people completely miss that. Thanks for your post.
