The establishment does not want a fix. It is happy with the way things are. A perfect set up. Distract the cattle with promises and pretense while you rip them off from the side. Keep them unsteady and off side. The last thing the Rino-Dino Party wants to do is to fix things in a way that would restore the republic, get Progs out of school and prison and off welfare, promote individual competence and independence, and end dependence on DC.
As things stand, Pols get contributions and votes by promising to do stuff, then get kickbacks for not doing the stuff. Often by voting to reduce obstacles to stuff, and then casting fake votes against the stuff. They all get rich. Why would any corrupt Pol want to vote against his gravy train?
If Americans really want to fix the republic, they will somehow have to seize power away from the corrupt gravy addicts -- both from the Dino looters and the Rino grubers.
The establishment wants most of all to ensure it can satisfactorily deal with Trump or Hillary in order to preserve its crisis-milking hedge-rights. In no way does it want any fix that would put a stop to its abuses. If you don't like that, the establishment is anxious for you to understand it is because you haven't checked your white privilege. That is, your "privilege" to carry the dead weight of the rino-dinos. Whatever you do, you must not do the un-PC thing and actually notice what the axis of corrupti-ignoranti is doing. At least, not until the demographic has been polluted (imported and indoctrinated) to such a point that it no longer matters what you think.
*****************
Americans and their parents were unfairly privileged with the
initiative, fortitude, competence, and courage to make a nation out of a
wilderness. Other societies have not been so privileged. This is
unfair.
It is unfair of Americans to fail to lift their lamps to
parley their produce to less privileged people, including the panorama
of: parasites, pinkos, predators, perps, pervs, pimps, purveyors,
prostitutes, pederasts, peasants, pigmentskins, phobes, phagocytes,
pipers, priests, posterior-lifters, pansexuals, peckers, punks,
pacifists, and proles, Evil Americans! Sarc.
What is so "smart" or "fair" about using immigration policy to create
a majority of ignorant voters in order to teach them that they are
entitled to vote for stooges making the kind of ridiculous promises that
are fronted by cronies who are bent on converting the world into one
gigantic people farm? The only domestic promise I want from the central
apparatus is that it will do hara kiri to its belly.
Every decent
person who cowers before political correctness and stands for the
foolery propagated by the central apparatus is making easy the path of
evil. I don't begrudge anyone working to make more money. I do
begrudge everyone who uses ignoranti to leverage power for corrupti to
replace the republic with a people farm. We need justice that draws
hard lines to make corrupti pay for unpardonable crimes. Cronies ought
to be cowering and hiding, not brazenly gadding about sponsoring $30,000
a plate conspiracy dinners and polluting us with imported idiocy.
Given a choice, would you want to emigrate to any Dem stronghold,
such as California, Illinois, Michigan, or New York? As more people
figure out that such places are not worth emigrating to, more people may
figure out that such places are best quarantined or severed. Before
their gangrene kills the entire republic. Otherwise, their gangrene
will vote to infest and reduce every human being to a corrupt, ignorant,
Dem humanoid.
A reincarnated version of Ronald Reagan could not win with today's
electorate. The demographics have changed too much. Presidential,
polite, and principled speeches were effective with the demographics of
Reagan's day. Today calls for stuff that is blunter, more right between
the eyes, more emotive. The Eleventh Commandment has fallen by the
wayside. Given all the corruption and filth the NWO crony-commie
rino-dino axis has produced, much more is now at stake.
Jimmy
Carter was and is UN/NWO enamored. As is everyone in his wake --
excepting Reagan, Trump, and, less so, Cruz. If Cruz, given our modern
electorate as it is, cannot inspire the committment and ferocity that we
need, then we need to give full and fair consideration to Trump. Like
Patton, he says things that are rough going down. But he also gets
needed things done. If we want to hang the paper hanging bureaucrats in
DC, we need someone like Trump.
Soldier: Where ya goin', General?
Patton: Berlin. I'm going to personally shoot that paper-hangin' sonofabitch.
Tough love is one of the first steps towards individual freedom and
dignity. And all the Libs say, in Greek chorus: "The horror!"
***************
The electorate is not really attuned to follow debates. It is more into wanting to be sold. Trump is a salesman. You may not always like him, but he is relentless.
I am too far removed from typical college products to have much of a clue about how they twist or think. Or how easily people can be twisted after years of mind abuse under the media/academia apparatus that is in place. I have considerable schooling, but I always learned the most by teaching myself and reading a lot. If a person needs profs to learn simple sociological and political stuff, then he probably does not belong in college except as a useful idiot.
I rely little on other people to form my opinions. I do not watch commercials and probably cannot be hypnotized. Like a lot of AT people, I have actually read the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers. I don't watch much TV.
So I am by no means a barometer of social trends or conventional wisdom. But when I converse with otherwise apparently smart and competent people, I sense that most of them are far gone in their political outlooks. I am still suffering from a double dose of PTOE -- post traumatic Obama election. So I would not bet much on what our modern demographic will vote for.
I think the powers that be are more powerful in shaping preferences than most people can imagine. Yes, they may often be wrong in predicting who would be the best front man for their operations. However, once they settle on their front man, I think they can make or break him.
The present disarray is because they have not settled between Hillary, Sanders, Trump, and Kasich. They may well come to see that there is no profit in 4 to 8 more years of Obamanism through Hillary. They may see Bernie as too strange. They are sensing that Americans will not sit still for Kasich or Ryan. And they do not love Cruz. So who's left standing?
My admittedly limited intuition suggests that most voters will not follow a detailed and substantive diagnosis, analysis, or prognosis about what is needed to restore the health of the republic. I do not sense that Cruz has what it takes to thrill them with the kind of immediate excitement they crave. Nor can he pander to them without losing credibility.
They understand that the system is corrupt. But they don't understand how it got that way. They don't see their own stupefaction as part of the problem, and they aren't willing to invest any long term effort or sacrifice to fix it. They want easy villains to blame, and they want to be promised easy solutions.
Their solution is to tax the rich, redistribute their wealth, and everyone will be happier. Promise them that, and they will dig their own graves -- cluelessly but contentedly.
Cruz' slogan has been a time for truth. That does not sell to the modern demographic. They think they know the truth and they have easy answers for it. Bernie preaches bs that is easy to say, that means nothing, but plays to the young and clueless demographic. Trump's slogan is make America great again. That slogan sells well to a clueless generation that just wants to be taken care of.
Trump is a successful salesman. I think he will prove better at doing what is needed to sell his slogan. By the time he plays with the powers that be and the clueless dupes, I think the polls will come his way. Now, as to whether he will be good for America, I cannot say. But I believe he would have to be an improvement over what we have had. I detest seeing people farmed like cattle, but the system is what it is. Trump, at least, seems to prefer American cattle.
