True.
"At which point power mongers will have thoroughly usurped the power of the Presidency and entrenched themselves."
Yup, they always do and to hell with the best interests of the republic & the republic's citizens.
He'd be standing on some mighty tall shoulders, in that regard.
"He would truly be an empty suit then with no accountable person/s holding the reins."
*Not* so, grasshopper. {g}
You and I will not see the strings suspending this puppet, but they'll be there alright.
"He is one of two candidates that is perfect to become a controllable puppet..."
HA!!
Yea! :o)
...and one who will be subordinate to no one. Fine fix we’re in, Ollie."
What gets us to [that] point will actually be the worst part.
The author spoke of the *roles* each of us have been assigned, racially speaking, and he's correct to that extent.
Buttttt if we think we've seen the "race card" played, if we thought --D or R-- by electing a black anything will put a stop to the racial clubbing?
We aint seen nothin', yet.
Any criticism whatsoever will be labeled an overt, or covert act of racism.
What else could it be? ;^)
"To be clearer; the third one is one who will not subordinate to others."
Should've left it unclear, my friend.
At this stage there's only one *entity* to blame for this predicament, the GOP.
Not that they care.
What bothers me most is I cannot, however hard I try, figure out the reasoning, the motive(s) behind this.
...& neither has anyone I've read, saw or heard.
That depends on certain things. We are speaking of an unknown quantity here. Is he as naive as some think he is? If so he may bolt, like a startled horse, when he sees it and try to expose those strings. Lots of interesting things could happen then. Of course the gap in the continuity of the status quo reality will be quickly covered over...but there will be a brief moment when the works are uncovered.
But he may be much more street wise than he appears to be. He may be prepared to deal with the most malevolent forces that come at him without even a hint of breaking character. So far he has barely acknowledged the existence of the mighty power of Clinton Inc. Innocent prey or crafty hunter?
Or he could be in the middle. Youthful idealist who will come around after a crushing dose of reality sets him on his butt. We just don't have a good idea yet of how big is his ego, how good is his jiu jitsu and how pragmatic he is. It's a given that he's jumping into shark infested waters. Maybe he will use sharks as surfboards.
We aint seen nothin', yet. Any criticism whatsoever will be labeled an overt, or covert act of racism.
He can use that to herd sharks pretty effectively or kill them if he wants to. He has proven to be pretty skilled so far. That poison well is a huge aquifer and he has tapped directly into it. That power is his to lose now.
At this stage there's only one *entity* to blame for this predicament, the GOP. Not that they care. What bothers me most is I cannot, however hard I try, figure out the reasoning, the motive(s) behind this.
The only rational conclusion I can find for that is unspeakable. No one wants to even think it.
