The political establishment still has plenty of cards left to play. If Trump is still stomping it in February, then he’d better hire a food taster.
The ironic thing is the Trump campaign could spell the salvation of the establishment in the long term. Realistically, Trump would only be able to pursue a few high profile felons as President. Those caught would get the benefit of counsel and a trial.
Now let’s say that Trump loses and the situation continues to fester. The people who come after Trump won’t bother with trials.
They don’t want salvation. They don’t want to win trump knows that it’s why he never runs around whining about their attacks on him.
posted this on another Trump thread. It is relevant here also:
The Donald better invest in security as good as the Prez. He should heed the lesson of the last ‘trouble making outsider’ in the US political process; George C. Wallace. This is not crackpot conspiracy mongering. There is a deeply held tenant within the political establishment that the system cannot be disturbed by forces emanating from outside the closed circle. The resources of the establishment will be deployed in any way necessary to see that its internal equilibrium is not disturbed. This is a tenant that is as important to the political class as the Resurrection is to believing Christians. If Trump can shake off or successfully ignore the wave of filth and misrepresentation that is being prepared for him then he is in real physical danger. I believe this has something to do with why Sarah Palin deliberately presents herself as a caricature of her true self . She has been warned and her first loyalty is to her family and her Downs child.
The uniparty political class have the same understanding of the temper of the nation as did the courtiers at Versailles did in 1788. They have no grasp of how deeply they are resented even hated by more and more of the great (mostly) white middle class who they see as stupid rubes and religious cretins who exist only to pay for the socialized costs of their schemes to keep lower skill work paid at less than nothing by flooding the country with wave after wave of illiterate unskilled and assimilation resistant turd worlders. Unless some accommodation is made to the tax paying class eventual armed turmoil wrapped in civil disobedience is the likely scenario.
