The decision by huge masses of Republican voters to defy
D.C.- thinkfluencer types like George Will and throw in with
a carnival act like Trump is no small thing. For the first
time in a generation, Republican voters are taking their
destiny into their own hands.In the elaborate con that is American electoral politics,
the Republican voter has long been the easiest mark in the
game, the biggest dope in the room. Everyone inside the
Beltway knows this. The Republican voters themselves are the
only ones who never saw it.
Elections are about a lot of things, but at the highest
level, they're about money [ Actually, it is now about
the mass Immigration
of Third World
aliens - Editor ]. The people who sponsor election
campaigns, who pay the hundreds of millions of dollars to
fund the candidates' charter jets and TV ads and 25-piece
marching bands, those people have concrete needs.
They want tax breaks, federal contracts, regulatory
relief, cheap financing, free security for shipping lanes,
antitrust waivers and dozens of other things.
They mostly don't care about abortion or gay marriage or
school vouchers or any of the social issues the rest of us
spend our time arguing about. It's about money for them, and
as far as that goes, the CEO class has had a brilliantly
winning electoral strategy for a generation.
They donate heavily to both parties, essentially hiring
two different sets of politicians to market their needs to
the population. The
Republicans give them everything that
they want, while the Democrats only give them mostly
everything.
They get everything from the Republicans because you
don't have to make a single concession to a Republican
voter.

The little man gets screwed on time, every time.
Donald Trump told the voters that Goldman
Sachs was a bunch of crooks making the Mafia look
like small time amateurs. Now he is taking their top management on board to
run America. Are they going to screw the huddled
peasant masses? Have they ever done anything else? See
