Establishment Powers Build A Wall…Around Trump (jeb! and Kasich alert)
DCwhispers.com ^ | 10-25-2016 | staff

It has been an increasingly caustic environment behind the scenes between Team Trump and GOP elites that has seen Republican power brokers effectively wall in the Trump campaign. GOP funding has been all but cut off, and so too has the institutionalized state-to-state ground game so critical in winning battleground states on Election Day.

Donald Trump, and his millions of supporters, are truly on their own.

The primary impetus behind this effort is said to be three-fold, coming in the form of House Speaker Paul Ryan, Ohio Governor John Kasich, and long-ago ousted, onetime GOP presidential front-runner, Jeb Bush.

The Bush clan’s animosity toward Trump is both deep and determined to see Donald Trump not only lose on Election Day, but be humiliated – which in turn the Bush family hopes, will humiliate Trump supporters as well, so that they might “learn their lesson” and leave the political matchmaking to the professional political class.

These elites view Hillary Clinton as a more than acceptable alternative, for she is of course, a respected member of the same elitist club. The choice was to be either Jeb or Hillary. Trump’s astounding rise within the Republican ranks pushed over that manufactured political apple cart, leaving the Establishment to now make certain it will be Hillary who emerges victorious in November.

That certainty will be achieved via wins for Team Hillary in both Florida and Ohio, two critical battle-ground states now being heavily influenced by anti-Trump GOP forces. Both states have in the past required significant ground game efforts. Trump’s ground game is modest at best, made more so by the GOP’s reluctance to allow the Trump campaign to plug into the Republican Party’s state-to-state get out the vote machine.

And while Jeb Bush and the remnants of his time as Florida governor do that work there, current Ohio Governor John Kasich is said to be doing the same in his state.

Instead of helping to get out the vote, the GOP’s ground-game machine is now working double-time to repress the potential Trump vote, even going so far as refusing to spend campaign contributions raised by Trump for the Republicans Party on pro-Trump ads.

Thanks for the money, Donald. Now go f*ck yourself.

The Establishment of both parties and the media want YOU, the Trump voter, to be punished for daring to think for yourself. Donald Trump put a significant scare into the status quo, and it is a scare that the powers that be feel there should be consequences for. They intend to have Donald Trump lose the election, have his reputation tarnished, and his fortunes greatly diminished so as to make certain that what has been in reality, the single most successful independent presidential candidacy in modern era of American politics, never happens again.

Here's the beauty of Trump Presidency. The laws he needs are already on the books! All he has to do is enforce existing immigration laws. The wall has already been procured but not built. We will build the wall in accordance with the original legislation. He can repeal all executive orders and make some of his own!

He doesn't need congresses help.

“He doesn’t need congresses help.”

He does need Congress to fund it. The law says they have to but they’ll find every reason in the world to not do so, legal or not.

Honestly, if Trump wins do you think they’ll just give up?

I do not propose destroying the party per se....but instead removing the leaders.

Good luck doing one with out the other.

Yes sir. Great turn of a phrase: "CRONY TYRANTS." Thy names are Bush, Ryan, McCain, Graham and too many others. Let's all indict and call to account all those from the Republican Party who've betrayed our trust and plotted OUR enslavement.

National Republican leadership (see "Bush Crime Family") is also responsible for condemning us to EIGHT years of 0bama's tyrannical regime -- one our nation barely survived. And NOW they collude with the Clinton Crime Family to condemn us to ANOTHER 4-8 years of tyranny? Like hell!

As you noted, this GOP Cabal of Treason *demanded* our undying loyalty and support for two weak hand-picked sock puppets (McCain/Romney) who rolled over and sandbagged their own respective elections (just like Poppy in '92) and played dead.

Now this same Republican leadership betrays us, turns their backs on us along with OUR choice for President, Donald Trump AND supports another Democrat Dictator? Damn these Republican traitors and their worship of power and greed. Their two-party charade will no longer be tolerated.

The day Trump takes office, Congress aided by the media, the Republican establishment and the entirety of the Democrats will rediscover how much power Congress has to rein in the President. Everything he wants to do, they’ll find a way in Congress to block it. Bank on it.

I have been saying that since Trump won his first primary.

I don’t think so. Not if he takes charge.The Constitution is not relevant now. To get back to the Constitution will require extraconstitutional methods. The COngress and the Republican and Democrat parties have erected a dictatorship. You can’t go back to the Republic as it is supposed to be using the Constitution properly Almost everything about our present government is UNconstitutional to start with. It requires a very forceful and capable dictator to, for instance, abolish all the Departments and Agencies which must happen if we are to regain the Republic. By Constitutional means the Congress, no matter how populated, will fight to retain the Bureaucratic totalitarian system which has grown up. Without the co-operation of Democrats and their subsidiary- the Republicans, the Republic cannot be regained. They will not co-operate. Not five members remain uncorrupted. All the new blood that might come into Congress in the election will not produce any more principled Constitutionalists.
The Executive Branch is a de facto Dictatorship and has been developing in that direction for a long time, accelerating dramatically with GWB and with the curve rising faster under OBama.

PATCO writ exceedingly large. EPA. DOE. DOE. FEC. DOC. Many many others. If they continue in existence the Republic is finished. Congress will fight any effort to abolish them, no matter who occupies the seats therein.

You’re missing it.

They (the Democrats, big government liberals in the Republican party, their financial backers) will forget the last 8 years ever happened. All the power that you’ve seen vested into Obama will magically disappear. The media will make it so.

Unless Trump can point to a phrase in the Constitution that DIRECTLY supports what he wants to do, Congress’ financial backers will force them to block him. 90-95% of what’s published in any media (TV, newspaper, internet) will support their point of view. As a result of constant advertising, stealth messaging on TV (e.g. Designated Survivor’s president more worried about one muslim kid in Detroit than the police). Most people will believe what they’re told.

There will be rumors of Articles of Impeachment within three months. It won’t matter whether he’s done anything worthy of being impeached. It won’t matter what Obama did for 8 years. We’ll hear endless explanations from “experts” using “serious tones” as to why “this situation is COMPLETELY different”.

They’re not going to give up just because he wins. They’ll just lie, lie and lie some more. They’ll enforce rules they’ve ignored, they’ll make up rules that don’t exist and they’ll use the media to sell it. And the media will sell it to a large chunk of people too (not you and me, of course. Our eyes are open).

The Government is the power
The Media is the message
Wall St. is the money

This is what we are up against. Trump will have to fight ALL of this. Honestly, his capability and willingness to fight all of this are his most endearing qualities.

Congress will attempt to Block Trump regardless of whether or not he can support his project with Constitutional citations. The reality is that Congress can block him only if he accedes. His fight is not with Congress.It is with the Agencies. Congress is an irrelevant appendage.

Yep. I am in total agreement with you. He needs to kill off the EPA and other “predator” agencies, end funding of the UN, and boot those dictators out of our country.
