Hillary is as big a neocons' wet dream as his brother. They love that Hillary is reviving the Cold War with Russia as a campaign strategy. A stroke of genius! A new arms race will be real tasty for the military industrial complex.<br /><br />Hillary's idea of unity: unify neocons and neoliberals, and bribe-taking Democrats with bribe-taking Republicans under a big tent that cuts out the American people. Something every cowering liberal should be proud of supporting!

Look at the rifts - ethnic, sectarian, economic, social, political - if there's any fissure into which a wedge can be driven it has been. Is that really a coincidence? Is it possible that today's advantaged interests saw gain to be had from social incoherence and turmoil? A coherent society can overcome minor differences but one split so deeply from so many directions is far more susceptible to manipulation by those who prey on their basest instincts.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44264696310404959762016-10-22T17:18:24.596-07:002016-10-22T17:18:24.596-07:00Off topic again.

The republican party could pursue a very mildly conservative agenda because the base will always vote for it because they hate the Democrats so much. One interesting thing that the Harper years demonstated was that the leader of the Cons could go way off track on a number of traditionally conservative areas and the base still voted for him. He never went after gay marriage, he never reopened the abortion issue, he completely abandoned traditional conservative notions of libertarianism, he ran deficit after deficit, but still held the entire conservative base of vote in the election. The Con loss was a result of the fact that Harper was an egoist like Trump and forgot that the elections are usually won with the swing voters. In the present context, if you alienate that group you simply can't win. The Harperites forgot this simple lesson and Trump seems to have simply never realized it. The dilemma for the Republican Party is simply that it relies on the whacky base in the nomination process so they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The real fear for me is the realization that there are enough xenophobes and closet fascists in the US that if the Republicans nominate someone with all of Trump's beliefs but with a better public persona, they could easily win.Kirbycairohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528654183160305877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-31057730446193388252016-10-22T16:05:59.489-07:002016-10-22T16:05:59.489-07:00The Republican demise probably started when Reagan...The Republican demise probably started when Reagan married church and State.<br />This was followed by the Tea Baggers who cannot; will not accept defeat.<br />America is a divided country ; too big and diverse to succeed.<br />The Confederate flag still fly's proud in many States.<br />Trump is just cashing in on what the main stream Teabaggers will not say out in Public.<br />Sadly ; it's all too popular.<br /><br />TB Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
