I watched some of Mitt Romey's flailing, rabid histrionics today against Donald Trunk in a last futile attempt to deny Trump the nomination. It used every innuendo and outright falsehood to support the case that Donald Trump is not a 'conservative' and not a 'Republican', and would mean a Hillary Clinton Presidency, a Democratic Senate, and Liberal Supreme Court for a generation.
It goes to show the arrogance.. and the fear.. of the NeoCon establishment, that small group of elites of have profited grotesquely from Global Free Market Capitalism.. who see their ill gotten, untaxed gains at peril. They fear so much losing control of the Republican Party that they would rather see the Republican Party defeated than to see Donald Trump win the Presidency.
The Republican establishment has destroyed the Party. It's policies, beginning with the arch NeoCon pawn and quisling Ronald Reagan and its trickledown, untaxed, unregulated, free trade, monetarist, privatized, nonunionized economy controlled by financial and trading trusts (essentially classic economic liberalism) has driven the American economy into desperate straits.
It has cynically used a conservative social agenda, to which it has no allegiance nor understanding nor authentic desire to implement, to lock up a political demographic to support its economic agenda.
Donald Trump is a Conservative Populist (with some progressive ideas). Against Hillary Clinton, an Ideological Liberal he has a very good chance of winning, and bringing like minded moderates into Congress. That's what the Republican establishment.... and the Democratic establishment fear more than anything.
America has a long history of electing Populists in troubled times... FDR, Abraham Lincoln (as the Populist originator of the Republican Party). There are many others. The last Populist President was LBJ (who annihilated Conservative ideologue Barry Goldwater). Every President since has been a political ideologue and beholden to special interests who finance their Party. America might be in the mood for a change.
Hence you have these ravings by a failed Presidential candidate.. and the panic in NeoCon ranks. Their program has been revealed and a failure and scam.. and the chickens are coming home to roost.
