Do you sleep with your light on, check under your bed for communists, and check your closet for goblins.
Almost skipped past this, but a great read and I will work through it tonight while I follow the returns.
I second that!
If we’re going down it will at least be on our feet, with middle fingers extended in full salute, rather than on our knees with bowed heads.
"A good read. A lot of background in the history over the last few decades. Thank you."
"This young man has great insight."
Yes and Yes!
This kind of actual journalism, which is in parallel to the guy at CTH, is very rare these days. Nothing like it appears at Fox or any MSM outlet, and the closest I can think of is with Michael Barone in years past, but nothing to this level of detail or honesty ( since Barone was at least partially owned by the GOPe ).
Cruzers better wake up to the fact that all of this firepower arrayed against Trump was meant for Cruz and all other Reagan pretenders. It could easily have been George Allen or Newt or Keyes or West or Bachmann or anyone else challenging the powers-that-be, the only reason Trump is receiving fire is that he is walking point. Cruz would have been toe-tagged already had it not been for Trump, that was the plan all along, and we would be far worse off today since not only would the immigration invasion have been back burner'd, but "conservatism" would have been vampire staked dead.
The truth is that thanks to Trump, Conservatism actually gets to live another day. Had Cruz been crushed by the Jeb roadmap, or worse, had he been nominated and crushed by Hillary, they would have their Goldwater part-2, the mother of all scapegoats to use to run Conservatives out of town on a rail again, for two decades like in 1964. Now Cruzers may or may not choose to face the reality of today, or continue dreaming that (C) has a fair chance against this massive (D)ummycrat and (R)epublicrat opposition. My guess is they will follow the idiocy seen in that pathetic Cruz speech earlier today.
These smokey backroom (R)epublicrat politics as a part of the uniparty is THE story to concentrate on. It is them versus us, but unlike years past, this is not just another battle. This scenario has played out many times in our history, notably 1796-1800, 1824, 1860-1865 and 1876. The only clear win for America there was after that 2nd American Revolution in 1796-1800 when Jefferson and Madison trounced the (F)ederalists, a close parallel to the uniparty of today, and ushered in republican values for a quarter century. The others, not so much. But this one today is different because after this one, it is all over but the crying because they will have solved all their ( uniparty ) problems with more amnesty and naturalization which replaces traditional natural-born American voters with 3rd world replacements. They have gotten their massive electoral college advantage in place, they have packed the cities with blue votes, they have the Supreme Court and they have almost the entire media. They also have taken enough states ( just 13 required ) to block nation-saving Constitutional Amendments
We are at the precipice today because the uniparty enemy has plugged almost all the holes now that can bring them down in the future. They almost have their bulletproof European Union style bureaucratic central elitist government. And this article as well as those at CTH demonstrate the lengths they are willing to go to achieve final victory. It is time to hit the "reset" button. And it really is now or never.
If I thought for a moment that Trump is actually a sincere convert, and not a uniparty kayfabe candidate deployed against Ted Cruz, I might be open to his promises. But, to my ear and my sensibilities he looks like nothing more or less than someone designed to co-opt the genuine Constitutionalist in the race and ensure the continuing ascendancy of the statist cabal.>>> you may be right but trump plans to win. and i like cruz except for the goldman sachs connections.
good read. A lot of background in the history over the last few decades.
It certainly is.
Perot had his shortcomings, but he did sound the warning about NAFTA and what the two-party monopoly was doing to the nation’s industrial infrastructure. The “giant sucking sound” of jobs into Mexico, as he put it.
What would America have been today, had Perot won in 1992?
Posting HTML .. i voted for perot

Hard to say because the uniparty was much less strong back then, the amnesty and naturalization invasion was less complete and there were 70 million less people. Perot would have faced a smaller enemy than Trump is facing.
1992 is now a retroactive IQ test, which amazingly, some of our FRiends still fail despite having the answers to that test right in front of their faces. Like most, I also voted for Bush41 a 2nd time, and it clearly was the mistake of a lifetime I will never make again.
Perot accurately identified the Social Security timebomb and pounded the forthcoming NAFTA treaty. That makes the guy extremely prescient if not clairvoyant. And there were shenanigans back then with Bushbots smearing him and his VP Stockdale, allegations of disturbing his daughter's wedding ( or someting like that ) and then everything getting swept under the rug of conspiracy theory and the incessant lie that Perot cost him the election ( as if those votes belonged to the elitist plutocrat Bush in the first place ).
Instead, some still think those Perot voters were the traitors in 1992, when we actually were the fools. We pulled the lever ( yes, it was a real lever back then ) for the GOPe natural-born republicrat, Bush41. If we had pulled the lever for Perot, his 19% could have been a majority against Clinton's 43%.
That's why things are different this year and why the GOPe is so apoplectic. They are worried that Trump will succeed where Perot and all others failed.
P.S. I just saw the replay of that idiot Cruz saying Trump wants to expand Obamacare and then this: As President, I will repeal every single word of Obamacare. I want to hear some Cruzbots explain that one away. Mr. Cubanadian Constitutionalist must have found some more invisible ink in the Constitution that I missed. How does a President repeal a law? The guy is now a full fledged liar and I'm sorry I ever took him seriously.

Spot on analysis. Thanks for adding that.
The long knives have been out for Cruz since the beginning from the GOPe, as they have been for any challenger to their cushy operation. Trump is the only candidate that has withstood that onslaught to date.

So true! If I remember correctly; in addition to all the strategies used against Perot, there were threats against his family that were the final blow to his persuance of his goals. Things are really coming to a head now for the Elites. I have a distinct forboding about how far they will actually go to save themselves.
Thanks onyx for the post. Just got around to reading. Insightful and accurate. BTTT.
I could well have written this myself.
Consider yourself highly commended.
Thank you my FRiend. But your posts are among the best around, and I do read them.
P.S. which one were you replying to?

The damn article is almost as long as war and peace. lol
Great article
