Yeah, that obviously didn\u2019t happen. Over the last 6-7 months, we have seen the RINO and Establishment pundits, all claiming to be conservatives, belittle Donald Trump and ignore what was actually happening out here in \u201cFlyover Country.\u201d I recently found an old post on the VOX<\/a> web site announcing that the Trump\u2019s rise in the polls was great news for Jeb Bush.<\/p>\n Now, I do not read the Vox site. The link to the story was posted elsewhere and I followed it out of curiosity. The level of delusion the writer on the site demonstrates is typical of the Establishment Republicans. Here is what was written<\/a> with a few comments from Yours Truly:<\/p>\n Donald Trump\u2019s surge in the polls<\/a> has been covered as terrible news for the GOP. But it\u2019s fantastic news for one Republican \u2014 Jeb Bush. <\/b>The rise of the bombastic celebrity mogul and the saturation media coverage of his controversial comments on illegal immigrants<\/a> is a godsend for the putative frontrunner, who, in every area except fundraising<\/a>, has been underperforming so far.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There was a reason that Jeb Bush was underperforming, and it had nothing to do with Trump calling him \u201cLow Energy.\u201d Bush was the GOP(e)\u2019s choice to protect the Establishment\u2019s profits and sinecures. They totally missed, and continue to miss, the rage of the Republican Base, especially to illegal aliens and the H1B visa program, which is being used to replace American and lawful resident aliens with low wage serfs.<\/p>\n In addition to the fact that Trump poses no threat to actually win the Republican nomination, the purported billionaire helpfully sucks up all the media oxygen so none of Bush’s potentially more dangerous rivals can get any attention.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n At that time, the GOP(e) considered the potential threats to Bush to be Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Ted Cruz and Marco the Rubot. All the others in the race, with the possible exception of John Kasich, weren\u2019t considered to be worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n Trump also presents a wonderful contrast for Bush \u2014 making him look tolerant, professional, and adult. And if Trump stays in the race and remains popular on the right, it will show that yet again, conservative voters simply can’t get it together to seriously wield their influence in the presidential primaries.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n No, Bush always came across as a weak inside the beltway suckup. His campaign really ended when he came up with the comments that illegal immigration was an \u201cAct of Love.\u201d People took that to mean that not only would Bush not secure the borders, he was going to throw them open and push amnesty and a path to citizenship.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s remarks on illegal immigration and the crimes being committed by the criminal aliens front and center in the campaign. If Trump wasn\u2019t there, or didn\u2019t bring up illegal immigration, it would have been totally ignored by the GOP(e), which was their plan.<\/p>\n The race is young, and if the roller coaster polls in 2011-’12<\/a> are any indication, things are likely to keep changing quite a bit before voting actually starts. Debates, new campaign developments, or the Iowa caucuses \u2014 which look promising for Scott Walker<\/a> \u2014 could certainly elevate other contenders above Trump.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I love 20\/20 hindsight. As we know, Walker flamed out early. He was the first of the governors to bail out on the election when he blew all his campaign funds.<\/p>\n But <\/b>if<\/b><\/em> the race should happen to stay where it is in recent national polls<\/a> \u2014 a race with Jeb Bush and Donald Trump as the top two contenders \u2014 it would be a cinch for Bush to win. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And here we see the delusion of the RINO\u2019s. (Note, I have no idea of Vox\u2019s politics. I don\u2019t follow the site. A\/W<\/i>) Bush\u2019s high water mark in the polls was the day before he announced. Once he got started campaigning, he slowly sank beneath the political waves.<\/p>\n Trump’s candidacy is following a path that was very familiar in the last GOP presidential primary. He says outrageous things. He gets media attention. He moves up in the polls. Party elites get very nervous, because he’s considered outrageous and unelectable.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The GOP(e) has a wonderful track record of picking \u201cElectable\u201d candidates. We have President McCain, President Romney and President Dole, all choices of the RINO Elite. Oh wait, yeah, they all actually lost big time, didn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n This is what happened to Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, and Newt Gingrich last time around<\/a> \u2014 and it was followed by a steep decline<\/a>. (Though Gingrich had a brief resurgence after winning the South Carolina primary.)<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n These three went down for many reasons. The biggest one was lack of funding and support from the Republican party. All of them had some pretty big baggage they were hauling around as well. One big difference now is that Trump is self financing his campaign, and more importantly, isn\u2019t hiring all the K Street political consultants that have helped torpedo most of the GOP candidates in the past. (Whatever their stands on the issues were)<\/p>\n The reasons for their respective declines vary, but the larger point is that the Republican Party was never going to accept any of them as the nominee. Party elites have a lot of influence<\/a> in how the primary process plays out…<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Correction. Had a lot of influence. Trump\u2019s rise, along with the Tea Party groups are a response to the GOP(e) Elite\u2019s ignoring the base.<\/p>\n \u2014 plus a lot of time, resources, and knowledge of the rules they can use to help ensure that someone they strongly dislike and distrust won’t be their standard-bearer.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Notice how the \u201cWill of the Voters\u201d doesn\u2019t even enter into the discussion with the GOP(e)? In their minds, if they don\u2019t like a candidate, then that candidate is out.<\/p>\n And they strongly dislike and distrust Trump. They view him as a wealthy and unpredictable outsider beholden to absolutely no one in the party, addicted to the sound of his own voice, and heedless to the political damage that controversial comments like his assertion<\/a> that Mexico is sending “rapists” to America or his past skepticism that President Obama was born in America<\/a> can cause. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Trump not being beholding to the GOP(e) Elite is one major reason people are voting for him. His comments on Mexico sending rapists to America was soon born out with things like the murder of Kathryn Steinle<\/a> by an illegal who not only wasn\u2019t deported, but was actually being protected by the city of San Francisco.<\/p>\n The GOP(e) has been told repeatedly by the Base, as well as millions of others, that we want the border locked down and the illegals kicked out. The GOP(e) has ignored the base and Trump is the result. People hear Trump talk about building a wall on the border and making Mexico pay for it and it resonates with them. Compare this with Bush and Rubot pushing for amnesty for illegals.<\/p>\n If Trump keeps catching fire, GOP insiders will break the emergency glass so he’ll be extinguished. And that would be great news for the current leading alternative to Trump \u2014 Jeb Bush.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The GOP(e) is trying to break the glass, but they\u2019ve found that it\u2019s been replaced with a shatterproof version. And as we know now, Bush has been sent back to Juarez after blowing $100 million and winning all of 4 delegates.<\/p>\n According to the polls, right now Bush is the GOP’s default choice \u2014 but just barely. (And, importantly, not in Iowa<\/a>.) Being the default is really valuable. It means that Bush will be the one the party turns to to save them from Trump if the mogul stays in and still looks formidable in the polls going forward.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Amazing what 6 months can bring, isn\u2019t it? Bush was never the default choice, it was Ted Cruz. The polling companies have been blowing it for several election cycles and they can\u2019t figure out why. Now they are trying to find anything that will let them say that \u201cTrump can\u2019t win! Hillary Clinton will beat him!\u201d<\/p>\n The Vox article starts digging into things such as the huge Republican field we had last summer and fall. The article is full of polls and statistics from that period, all showing Trump blowing the other Republicans out of the water, and still, the Vox article said that Bush would be the beneficiary from Donald Trumps \u201cInevitable crash.\u201d<\/p>\n Yet the potential service Trump could do for Bush doesn’t end with the primary. He could help him look better in the general, too.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Does that work both ways?<\/p>\n Since 2012, Republicans have been extremely concerned that the hard-line immigration views supported by their base will hurt their prospects among the growing Latino population \u2014 and, potentially, prevent their candidate from winning.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And this is another delusion of the GOP(e) Elites. They think that throwing open the borders and letting all these illegals in will be good for the party. They\u2019re right, but not for them. Letting these criminals in and eventually becoming unassimilated voters benefits the Democrats and always has. One of the things shocking the elites is how well Trump is doing among the so called \u201cLatino\u201d voters. It\u2019s never entered their elitist brains that the \u201cLatino\u201d community, (God I hate this segregation crap done by both parties. You are American or you aren\u2019t), that they are just as upset as everyone else over the wave of illegals coming in. I think Trump got something like 30-40% of that vote in Nevada.<\/p>\n Yet it’s Trump’s very stridency and combativeness that make it so difficult for me to imagine this argument working. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You must be so disappointed that it actually is working.<\/p>\n Trump is <\/b>obviously<\/b><\/em> far more extreme than Bush.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n On that we agree.<\/p>\n Even more importantly, Trump is repeatedly and loudly arguing<\/a> that Bush \u2014 and most other candidates \u2014 do not<\/em> share his views on immigration. How can the Republican Party be full of Trumps if he’s denouncing all of them?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Because the it\u2019s only the Establishment Republicans that support Bush\u2019s views, (And Marco the Rubot\u2019s views), on immigration. The GOP Voters, as we are now seeing, support Trump\u2019s views, so I guess the Republican Party IS filled with Trumps.<\/p>\n And if, once Trump is dispensed with, a man who married a Mexican woman and who has part-Mexican-American children, who has called illegal immigration “an act of love,”<\/a> and who uses appealing and uplifting rhetoric<\/a> becomes the GOP nominee, how could the same outrage be channeled against him? <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n That question was answered about a week ago when Bush finally threw in the towel. This article on Vox demonstrates the complete lack of understanding of what is currently happening in this political season. All the governors, with the exception of John Kasich, (and he has no chance), have given up and pulled out of the race. The majority of votes have been controlled by the non-establishment candidates from the very beginning, with Trump at the head.<\/p>\n On the Democrat side, Bernie Sanders, (Who may be in the process of flaming out), has been beating Clinton and the other establishment Democrats upside the head. Only the outright rigging of the process by the Democrat National Committee is allowing Cankles any path to the nomination. The fact that she is under criminal investigation for both violating the laws on handling classified information and more recently, public corruption, (Selling her office as Secretary of State), means nothing to their Party Elites, and frankly, the fact that Sanders is such a blithering idiot is the only reason Cankles hasn\u2019t been totally \u201cBush\u2019ed\u201d by him. (Bush\u2019ed: To be seen as inevitable yet completely crushed)<\/p>\n Donald Trump will probably win most, if not all of the Super Tuesday elections. This was not supposed to be the case according to pundits like those on Vox, Fox News and other sites\/networks. Trump was supposed to be long gone by now and Bush would be cruising to the nomination and his inevitable defeat in November.<\/p>\n The GOP(e) Elites are panicked and are literally looking for any way to deny him the nomination, including rigging the Republican convention. They still refuse to comprehend just how furious the base is. They ignored Trump last summer, expected him to be gone in the fall and now are horrified that he not only will win the nomination, but might win the presidency. Thanks to the Internet, we can look back at their hubris and laugh at their blind arrogance.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n [yasr_visitor_votes size=”medium”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good day all.
