Republican and Democratic strategists marveled at the phenomenon of Donald Trump on Monday as they debated where to lay blame for the success of the political outsider who pundits originally wrote off as a joke.

He’s speaking truth to power.

What’s hard to understand about that?

It’s because they haven’t a clue what goes on outside the beltway...They haven’t a clue as to what the American people (the unwashed masses to them) want or think...

When Trump is elected President, he will pick his advisors and some cabinet members from OUTSIDE the beltway...They won’t be “establishment elites”...They’ll be people with clear minds and common sense...Something that has been lacking in Washington for quite some time....

That Kevin Madden Boehner stooge is on CNN. His contempt of Trump just oozes from every pore on his face.

That answers itself.

They are clueless as to how things are in 'fly-over' country. They have been for decades. And they continue to respond to fly-over country with the one-finger salute.

They have managed to push their selectee presidential contender on the party and nation for decades.

==

But, that is all preaching to the choir. Ironcially, Donald Trump has spent more time in fly-over country this year than most of the beltway establishment ever has.

Several months ago, I watched Trump on Jimmy Fallon. Fallon would ask him what he thought we gotcha questions...when Trump answered he spoke directly to the American people, staring directly into the camera, and I was actually stunned by how well he did this. It reminded me of Ronald Reagan (no not his message or conservative credentials - just his ability to communicate).

Fallon was literally doubled over in laughter at how absurd he thought Trump’s answers were, and Trump just ignored him, and continued communicating with the camera.

Right then, I knew he was no joke. Fallon certainly thought he was a joke...as does most of the media. But he isn’t, and IMHO the only person who could beat him is another populist like Bernie. If its Hillary, he runs away with it.

I know the GOPe thinks that it is all about Donald Trump but it is mostly about them. The GOP is a pack of lying, losers who cannot fathom why people they have been deceiving since Reagan want them gone.

It's quite simple.

Americans want "Illegal" to mean "Illegal" again.

In other words...

Dear Beltway Insiders...

"What do we want?"

"The WALL!"

"When do we want it?"

"NOW!"

There have been a few dynamic changes in presidential races over the years. Reagan, Carter, Wilson, one good two bad. Maybe if Trump is elected we even the score?

What irks the power brokers the most is a candidate they cannot control, Trump is at the top of that list. That may be good, may be not so good, but it is a fact. The one thing they will fight against till the end is they do not want to lose the perception they have some control because it is through foisting that image they obtain their money and status.

A good case in point is that jerk George Will. Note how he completely switched allegiance when O Hula became president to the point of hosting a dinner for him and then extolling his virtues (needing a microscope to find them). He is still on TV, still writing his columns, still making dumbass commentary but he has the image of having access. Once that image goes, and it surely will if Trump wins, he will be an outsider and has been. This goes doubly for the lobbyists. The K street firms need to have that image, the one where they can get things done. If Trump wins, they will double down on their minions in the Congress and create a completely disorganized government i.e. the one that O hula supposedly has now albeit no one ever stands up to his ideas. With Trump look for it to happen in spades. While Trump like Reagan has the power to go to the people over the unaligned Congress, Reagan had some of the media on his side. Trump shares no such "help" from them. It is going to be a very stressful next four years if he wins IMO.

It will be far more stressful for ALL of us if that Marxist she-devil wins.

“Americans want “Illegal” to mean “Illegal” again.”

Yep. Clue question for GOPe:

“Why is Hillary not in prison?”

And we don't like seeing illegal lawbreakers and invaders waving foreign flags while they yell foul insults and attack our citizens and police.

And we don't like hearing TV talking heads and politicians spinning it to place the blame on Donald Trump.

"Clueless Beltway Insiders Remain Stunned at Donald Trump’s Rise"

That put an image in my head of a dinosaur calmly chewing on a plant while in the background, a meteor plunges towards the Earth.....
