Trumps: White Angry Middleclass

[Williamsmith]

All those Latino votes were employees of the Las Vegas elites. When choosing ....choose where your bread is buttered. In California and Arizona, New Mexico and Florida........but by then it will not matter. I still think Cruz might just lose Texas. Senior Cruz es el perdedor.

Did you hear his precious quote in his acceptance speech--"I love the poorly educated!" He is unbelievable. Really, what a P.T. Barnum. I think I might just go read The Art of the Deal for some insights on how to get a stampede of new clients.

Trump is the perfect politician for Americans. He really is. I am highly likely to vote for him if he makes it to the general election.

Don't you love the poorly educated?

The Donald's heart must have been full of love that night. He expressed it for evangelicals, Hispanics, Guantanamo and pretty much everyone in his extended family. It sort of reminded me of an Oscar acceptance speech, except perhaps less overtly political.

The right to be angry and take it out on anyone and everyone unrelated to the source of that anger (aka voting for the guy who advocates killing Muslims with pig blood drenched bullets), and to get an amazing pass for this, that no one else gets, seems itself an aspect of white privilege.

I wouldn't call it white privilege so much as immunity by repetition. Much like Joe Biden saying so many imbecilic things that people just sort of say "That's just Joe talking" and let it go, Trump has learned that if you insult everything on two legs, the insults over time lose their ability to shock (especially at a time when people are becoming tired of a sort of politically correct weaponization of offense-taking). He's positioned himself as a sort of Don Rickles of American politics.

The white angry middleclass knows it's coming. The silence is deafening. The establishment has gone past crisis mode on to full on freak. They are staring right at a complete humiliation and repudiation of their weak punk *ss politics. Trump is poised to take all and not leave any room for a convention debate.

Bush failed them miserably. Cruz won't go away after Iowa pumped him full of pride.....he's going down and taking whoever he can with him. The establishment is not surprised and more than a little pissed.

So what's a party to do? It can't wait until after Super Tuesday, by then it will be too late. Rubio is the only great Cuban hope with which to hang your hat on and he can deliver Florida if.......by Tuesday somehow they can create the illusion that he can get enough delegates to keep Trump from running the table and they have hope going into the convention.

Will Kasich be willingly to hang up his campaign for the promise of VP? You betcha. And deliver Ohio.... Is it wiser to ask Carson to quit or ask him to stay to suck votes away from Cruz? That's a tough one but I think they have to go all in for the river draw. Carson must endorse Rubio also.

There it is....Pickett's Charge. The angry white middleclass is waiting to see the whites of their eyes.

I hope Rubot does not pull off a comeback.

Trump! Trump! Trump!

While I appreciate your purple prose, I will decline your offer to panic at this time.

There are many votes yet to be cast and delegates to be allocated. As the GOP herd thins, it will be harder for Trump to hide in a fog of frothy rhetoric without being forced to say what he actually stands for. From his utterances to date, he thinks more like a Democrat than a Republican on a number of issues, and that will emerge.
