“LOL - I love the sound of heads exploding”

One of the amazing things I’ve noted about tonight, whether it be all the talking heads on TV, the radio commentators, and even the more establishment or religious focused Republicans on various boards like this, they just are incapable of seeing that the world they thought they understood simply doesn’t exist anymore...they simply can’t grasp what is happening around them.

People are trying to save their economic lives...if not their lives period. They’re trying to save their country from becoming a part of some weird internationalist system that benefits only the uber-wealthy and the politicians who are their clients. Ideology is very yesterday, survival is today. And so many people in the system or around it just can’t see it even though it’s staring them in the face.

That’s why Trump is winning. Just open your eyes.

“Ideology is very yesterday, survival is today. And so many people in the system or around it just can’t see it even though it’s staring them in the face.”

That is a good way of stating what is happening. I hear the anti Trump long time republicans say how he’s not a true conservative. Well the so called true conservatives the party has been offering to us, both as presidential nominees and in Congress, have failed the people miserably.

It’s no longer about a checklist of conservative for a candidate, it’s about who can protect this country from the scourge of globalization. Trump is truly our last hope.

If Clinton gets elected, you can see the future of our country clearly by looking at the state Europe is in. And that’s just the beginning.

Very well stated. It's what I see happening too.

>>they simply can’t grasp what is happening around them.

Now they know how we feel when we send GOP majorities to both houses of Congress and they keep voting as if they are the minority party.

Now they know how we felt when Romney refused to call out Crowley in the debate or when McCain told us that Obama would be a good president during the election.

Now they know how I felt when my job got moved to Mexico in 1997 due to NAFTA or when a coal-fired power plant gets shut down in the US.
