This piece is way off base.

A political party that can successfully run (twice) a jug-eared nitwit exchange student from Kenya as a candidate will never be out of power for very long. Trump is a unique character and an anomaly, not an indicator of a trend.

Not so these days. The slump in Democratic primary and caucus turnout, from 38 million in 2008 to 31 million in 2016, was due to a sharp decline in turnout by self-described moderates.

This misses a very important point: In 2008 the Democrats actually had a hotly contested primary, while 2016 was rigged for Hillary Clinton to win no matter how strong an opponent she faced.

And if anyone really thinks the Democrats would have a hard time recovering from a Clinton loss, just think about this:

When this election cycle began in late 2015, the Republican front-runner was JEB BUSH.

To me, that indicates a sclerotic mentality has set into the ‘Rat party in the manner of the Soviet Politburo. Because ‘Rats operate by way of factional special interest groups, I think they are more prone to internecine strife (much worse than, for example, never-Trumpers). They can only avoid it if one group buys off ($) the rest.

...Of course, the way they have raided the trea$ury these past 8 years, that may very well be possible, too.

I have even less faith in the (cough) "Dem political process" that "elected" Obama than you do.

Voter fraud was the one and only reason Obama got in.

Keep in mind, Dems are too stupid to win elections without utilizing voter
fraud. Crooked politics is the only thing they know. Besides, once exposed,
the cowardly vote fraudsters cut and run.

There seems to be a lot of wishful thinking going on.

The rats are driven by a long term strategic focus. They’ll win some, they’ll lose some, It’s all about moving forward with that focus. They never, ever, give up. And we subsidize a large number of their activists.

If they lose the 2016 election, they’ll regroup quickly. In a matter of months. Rest assured that chuckie schumer and the san fran witch will not give an inch voluntarily. By the time 2018 rolls around, they’ll be ready for it.

While I'll agree that it was rigged in Hillary's favor, that can still be overcome by people getting out to vote. There is no way to rig voter turnout.

Otherwise, I agree. The fight will have only begun. The enemy will not be vanquished as some seem to think. They have too much time invested, and have been able to successfully indoctrinate our youth that will take generations to change. In fact I myself see little hope in combating the damage that has been done to our future society. But try we must, and we must also not celebrate one minor victory.

After all, as soon as Reagan left office the process began again and in 4 short years Poppy Bush had undone all that Reagan had accomplished and paved the way for 20 years of even greater degeneration to a point where America is no longer even recognizable to many.

From citizen to President. A patriot could knock out the Bush cabal and the Clinton cabal in one cycle.

One of the greatest Americans in the last 200 years.

HOORAY Trump
