He’ll likely lose - but Trump is the final warning to elites

Donald Trump will probably lose the election. But he is a final warning. Unless political elites of both the left and the right become more humble, unless they once again ask themselves how their agendas will play in Peoria, the next rough beast might slouch over the corpse of the republic.

I would think at that point there would be a strong desire to just leave.

AND take our toys with us.

Let the leftists hang with their utopia.

“- untold millions of illegals will be made citizens
- untold millions will be let into this country from every hell hole on earth
- the rules for elections will be completely rewritten in their favor
- the new overlords of the internet will effectively squash any opposition to those in power”

worth repeating

This article is yet another Hillary push poll designed to demoralize Trump voters. No sale. The effort will backfire by suppressing the D vote. The thinking will be why bother to turn out for Clinton when the election is over.

Keep 'em coming.

If we do not prevail with Trump in 2016, I believe there will be chaos, insurrection and violence by 2018.

I do not advocate for this. I believe it will happen.

voter fraud.

The uniparty is so very evil.

The voter fraud is a given to me.

Yet, my fellow citizens are sleeping...I really mean it what is important to most of them, from what I hear warrants their living with the dictator crooked hillary.

They dont care.

Oh Made the mistake of turning on Levin between the gym and home....what an idiot carrying on how terrible the Trump choice is....Ugh!

And we know Hillary is ahead how? Because the mediots say so and are in agreement like they have been all year?

LOL, you know what’s amazing? We all know the polls are not informative in their intent but rather intended to shape opinion and yet so many here take them to heart as being absolutely true and valid.

My guess is 99% of all voters here do not even understand the importance of the cross tabs which show methodology used. They simply look at the top line and proceed to freak out.

Ignorance is not our friend folks.

Everything....and I do mean EVERYTHING in the MSM right now...is some sort of PsyOp intended to dispirit us and get us to stay home.

Tune out cable news and the mainstream media, folks.

I don’t know about that. This article is from the Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper.

I'm thinking this will happen on 11/9 after the Trump victory is blamed on Russian hackers. Prepare.

The accommodation between left and right started unravelling in the 1980s.

Because that wasn't accommodation, it was domination by the left over the moderate right. It unraveled because a conservative cowboy rode into town and told the left to bleep themselves, that they didn't get to call all the shots. When he did that, the war was on between the left and their moderate right allies against the conservatives. It has yet to abate.

If Trump loses, it will be due to voter fraud.

Absolutely agree.

In response to the MSM counting him out, I say don’t.

I disagree with the author completely. Trump is a once-in-a-generation type of candidate who has the ego, the name recognition, the entertainment value, and the money to mount a campaign like this. You probably won't see another candidate like this for decades, if at all.

Trump is one of only a handful of people in his position who would be willing to mount a campaign like this. Anyone else already knows that it's much easier -- and more respectable -- to buy politicians than to be one. Ross Perot wouldn't have even bothered running in this race if he were in the prime of his career.
