On Sept. 6, 2016, Neal B. Freeman of the National Review published an interview with Angelo Codevilla, the author of “The Ruling Class.” The bottom line was that Dr. Codevilla has concluded that what he has estimated to be two-thirds of the country’s citizens are increasingly falling in with the increasing number of those who intend to vote for Donald J. Trump as president, despite having an opinion that he has significant shortcomings and that they are doing so because of their dissatisfaction, as the “country class,” with the ruling class.

****

People have been able, with regard to one candidate, to obtain vast amounts of information, about his history, about what he has said and done in the past and what he is saying and doing in his campaign, and to intercommunicate about him amongst themselves to the point where, knowing his imperfections, they balance information and decide that, despite flaws, he is capable of relatively honest and competent leadership and worthy of their vote. Whereas, with regard to the other candidate, the massive amount of information and the intercommunication about it leads to the conclusion that she is incapable of truth and of leadership in a direction away from continuing unhealthy dominance of the old media by the ruling class.

Reagan faced the same problem. What he did and The Donald will do as well is to go over the head of the media straight to the people. Then the people will squeeze the tourniquet on their member of congress.

The first two years will be the toughest if McConnel and Ryan remain as leaders, but that is yet to be seen as these asshats did nothing to support Trump and he will do nothing to support them once the election is over with. The most turbulent times will be the next two months until the inauguration.

In the beginning, the Trump opposition to me seemed like a wind driven wild fire, with the wind being the corrupt D.C. insider establishment and their collusive media associates, driving the fire.

But Americans became increasingly suspicious and distrustful of the media with their endless Russian allegations, as they had zero evidence of anything. Month after month of this and for most Americans the media became a spectacle, a farce, one big fraud.

That media driven winds has obviously subsided and there seem to be only a few hot spots left, with the fire nearly 100% contained. ☺

Donald is doing awfully well for a former city slick at hailing US rednecks.
