The American political class has failed the country, and should be fired. That is the clearest message from the summer surge of Bernie Sanders and the remarkable rise of Donald Trump.
“Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street. The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master.”
Yet the stagnation of workers’ wages as the billionaire boys club admits new members, and the hemorrhaging of U.S. jobs under trade deals done for the Davos-Doha crowd, has created a blazing issue of economic inequality that propels the Sanders campaign.
Between his issues and Trump’s there is overlap. Both denounce the trade deals that deindustrialized America and shipped millions of jobs off to Mexico, Asia and China. But Trump has connected to an even more powerful current.
That is the issue of uncontrolled and illegal immigration, the sense America’s borders are undefended, that untold millions of lawbreakers are in our country, and more are coming. While most come to work, they are taking American jobs and consuming tax dollars, and too many come to rob, rape, murder and make a living selling drugs.
Moreover, the politicians who have talked about this for decades are a pack of phonies who have done little to secure the border.
Trump boasts that he will get the job done, as he gets done all other jobs he has undertaken. And his poll ratings are one measure of how far out of touch the Republican establishment is with the Republican heartland.

Trump is a way to say FU to the GOPe
A way to say FU to the media
a way to say FU to the politically correct illegal lovers.
I hope he stays in it till the end, then endorses cruz for president.
Nothing but the truth.
It's why people like you, Mexico, leftist networks, leftist PC corporations, influence peddlers, frauds, corrupt professional politicians, NBC, Univision, La Raza, drug kingpins all hate him.
Ya got some interesting company Ms. MOUTH.
What conservative candidates? Other than Cruz they are all rinos.
Trump and Cruz are the only two with conservative platforms and Trump is going all the way, though the tough part is getting the nomination in the end with the GOP leaders running the show. He or Cruz will need overwhelming support to get nomination.
Cruz needs to find a much larger base of support to win nomination. Trump has that and will get more as the rinos start dropping. All the single digit rinos will be gone before long. It will be Bush, Trump and hopefully Cruz.
Trump will slaughter Hilliary if gets the nomination.
That would good too, but do you think Cruz can beat Hilliary? I don’t see that now but maybe it will start to show later after primary.
“I think even Buchanan underestimates Trump’s Dem support in a race vs Hillary.”
I think Trump has already been making comments designed to win those votes in the general election. It looks to me like he is already planning beyond the primary.
“...like the 2nd amendment...”
He has been packing heat for quite a while. I don’t think he would be that blatantly hypocritical.
Ugh, no. I voted for Carr in the last election and we are planning to run a Cruz like candidate against Corker in a few years.
right, so he can’t debate because he got his feelings hurt?
LOL...
Ok, tell me what of substance he has said recently?
There is one huge difference between “The Donald” and ALL the other candidates running for the Emperorship of America - he is NOT beholden to any contributor or PAC, and has NOT been created by the media.
He might carry, but he has voiced support for the so called assault weapon ban.
It was the popular thing to do in NYC, which most see to be a infringement on the 2nd.
There are a number of other things that are bound to come up when the candidates start getting vetted. There is a reason why conservatives always get uncomfortable with a East Coast candidate like Christy, Giuliani, Pataki, Trump and yes, even Romney.
I think I’ll just leave it there.
Woof, Dawg Brother...
Which is exactly why they need to be removed from the field of play.
I forgot, you’re all MOUTH, and unable to listen to Trump’s own words. And now you want me to explain it to you?
You’re also a fraud, very similar to the new sign up member called “z taxman”
LOL...
He explained his flip flopping position? funny, where was that?
We could always go back to the tried and true republican way of picking the candidate. It’s JEB’s turn, leading to at least four more years of hard Lefties/Marxists in the White House....
