The oligarchs' super-PAC anti-Trump savagery
WND ^ | 3/7/2016 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 03/08/2016 6:36:57 AM PST by vekzen

Not in memory has the leadership of a party been so out of touch. The Republican rank and file are in revolt, not only against the failures of their fathers but the policies of their present rulers.

Fully 116 members of the GOP’s national security community, many of them veterans of Bush administrations, have signed an open letter threatening that, if Trump is nominated, they will all desert, and some will defect – to Hillary Clinton!

In every primary upcoming, Trump is under a ceaseless barrage of attack ads on radio, TV, cable and social media, paid for by super PACs with hoards of cash funneled in by oligarchs.

But Trump, who is self-funding his campaign, has spent next to nothing on ads answering these attacks, or promoting himself or his issues. He has relied almost exclusively on free media.

Yet no amount of free media can match the shellfire falling on him every hour of every day in every primary state.

Can millionaires and billionaires who back open borders, mass immigration, globalization and the disappearance of nation states into transnational collectives overwhelm with their millions spent in ads the patriotic movements that arose this year to the wonderment of America and the world?

This election is either the first death rattle of the elite’s vision of a U.S. with third world living standards for the bottom 99%, or the solidification of that vision. My money is on the latter.

Megan McCain on Stuart Varney this morning:

“We hated Ted Cruz before but now the GOP are backing him 100% to stop Trump. Anyone but Trump.”

“Mexicans are becoming American citizens right now just to vote against Donald Trump.”

The Ruling Class, just like the Islamofascists, is at war with us folks. The only question remaining is: Are we going to fight back.

In before the Establishment sellouts come in and attempt to discredit WND and Pat Buchanan.

Gotta keep that “work within the party” meme alive...

(title)" The oligarchs' super-PAC anti-Trump savagery " ,

Savagery is not limited to the hedonistic religious , Islam
but is already practiced in eGOP politics .

They crave anything - anything at all - except a government that actually responds to the will of the people who elected it.

Wonder how many of the defectors are Freepers, threatening to not vote or to vote for the traitor Clintoon.

Fully 116 members of the GOP’s national security community, many of them veterans of Bush administrations, have signed an open letter threatening that, if Trump is nominated, they will all desert, and some will defect – to Hillary Clinton!

How often have we seen this same bs posted on Free Republic since the Iowa Circus Caucus?

Trump is a populist oligarch who is intent on bringing down the current plutocracy. I like that.

What has horrified the Republican Establishment Oligarchs to the point of insanity?

Not only does the Trump Revolution threaten their power and positions, but it nullifies everything they believe, everything they stand for, their entire paradigm of reality.

This is no small thing. People will kill to protect their paradigms of reality. We see this every day in the headlines!

The Oligarchs believe their paradigms to be reality and anything that varies from them to be insanity. They think that they are sane and rational and that the Republican voters who back Trump are insane. In fact, it's the other way around.

In this respect, the Republican Establishment Oligarchs, like the Democrats and the so-called "journalists" of the Press, are living in the same paradigm of groupthink that has much of the world in a death grip and is an important part of the decadence of Western Civilization.

No matter what happens, the Republican base support--the voters--have repudiated the Republican Establishment already. They can (1) become Democrats, (2) support Trump, or (3) retire.

Note tagline.

Not lunacy, but audaciousness and alacrity.

Oh, by all means. Let’s let the Establishment pick our candidate. First they gave us Yeb!—total disaster. Next they tried to shove Marco down our throats—another complete disaster. Who’s next—Kasich?

This from the same people who foisted Romney & McCain on us. They sure know how to pick ‘em.
