Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan were great and heroic American leaders, who would be disgusted and saddened with their Republican Party today. It has deteriorated into a clique of whining, puny “establishment” ciphers like Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, George Will, Bill Kristol and Peggy Noonan[2]—who have never done anything great or heroic in their collective lifetimes, and are the worst of American politics.
They traffic in fear and implicit hatred of everything that Donald Trump stands for; they have been brutally divisive; and they are doing everything in their power to demonize and block the presidential candidacy of Trump[3], who is leading in the polls[4]. They are the reason why lots of Americans left the GOP years ago, and will never return except to vote for Trump, and only Trump.
If they were to succeed in preventing him from getting the party’s nomination, many Americans would vote for him as an Independent, or literally hold their noses and vote for Hillary Clinton[5], or not vote at all in the general election. This would effectively “gut” the GOP, like Ross Perot did in 1992. The American people are angry; and this includes very conservative GOP women, Independents, and Reagan Democrats.
One needs to work on or with Capitol Hill to realize fully how bad both national political parties are. If one truly cares about our great nation and its future, the rejection of both parties is an easy and necessary decision. This is why lots of Americans have become Independents[6], and will never become members of either national party again. These Americans do not care what happens to the GOP. If it goes down the drain, so be it. The same is true of the Democratic Party. Sometime in the not-too-distant future, an Independent will be elected as America’s president.[7]
However, the criticism of Trump is not limited to the Republican party, or the Democrats, but extends abroad as well, in countries such as the UK.[8] Most Americans do not care what the Brits think about anything, much less our electoral politics. The country is descending into irrelevancy; and that process will be accelerated when Scotland leaves and the Trident program is canceled[9]. The sheer stupidity of some Brits is mind-boggling though—until it is remembered that the UK might be speaking German now if the U.S. had not been its “salvation” in World War II.
They ridiculed Reagan too. Lest they forget relatively-recent history, Reagan and George H.W. Bush set their sights on destroying the USSR, and it is gone now, without a shot being fired. The Brits and others in Europe would still be cowering at the feet of the Soviets but for the United States. How many young kids today have ever heard of the Soviet Union or the USSR, or the Cold War? Yet, in elementary schools in Los Angeles, as an example, students were taught to hide under their desks and cover their heads, and shield themselves from “falling debris”—stemming from a Soviet nuclear attack.
At some point, Trump and his lovely wife, Melania, may ask: “Do we really need this?” The answer is clearly “no,” and he might drop out of the race—although hopefully not. If he does, many Americans will never vote for a GOP candidate again, as retribution. Perhaps Trump gains satisfaction from “fighting the system,” and trying to make America better, just as Ronald Reagan did before him. Clearly, the “establishments” of both parties scream and “claw” at those who dare to challenge their power and orthodoxy. It is like belonging to a private club that discriminates.
Trump is admired by vast numbers of Americans, from all walks of life, just as Reagan was. Who would have thought that Reagan and Bush could have brought down the USSR’s thoroughly “Evil Empire.” Russia and its KGB-trained brutal killer and dictator-for-life, Vladimir Putin, must be next.[10] Reagan truly changed the world, which is why he is deified and “Teflon-coated” today—much to the disgust of the Democrats who hated him, just as they hated Richard Nixon and now Donald Trump. The Neanderthals in the GOP are too stupid to recognize the parallels.

Mr. Naegele,
One of the very best articles I have read in a long time.
Both major political parties have morphed into an oligarchy that cow-tow to the special interests of the Wall Street/Bankers/Corporate Establishment. Both parties differ only in political rhetoric that is designed to keep the electorate duped and divided. Once elected, the establishment (controls both parties) ensures that their interests are protected via their puppet politicians.
The average American citizen is increasingly informed (due primarily to the internet) and outraged. In my lifetime, I have never encountered so much pent-up frustration being expressed by people regarding our “establishment” politicians … hence Donald Trump.
I agree with you, if the corrupt establishment of the GOP is successful in thwarting Trump’s nomination, that will be the death knell for this party. Personally, I would rather stay home if given the choice between establishment types such as Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush or a Marco Rubio. I have voted far too many times while holding my nose (literally), I will not do it again. I sense that millions of American voters are in agreement with us.
Thanks again for a great article. Keep the good work!

Thank you, Ray, for your very kind words.

By the way, the highly-respected Rasmussen public opinion polling announced today:
See http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/trump_change (Rasmussen public opinion polling: “Trump Change”) (emphasis added)
Second, it has been reported:

See http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/Buzzfeed-Mitt-Romney-Loyalists-Launch/2015/12/11/id/705430/ (“Mitt Romney Loyalists May Launch WH Bid at Convention Floor”)
I voted for Romney last time. However, he has had his chance and that is it. I would not vote for him again.
More importantly, the so-called GOP “establishment” are like a “circular firing squad”—destroying the party completely.
Since I do not care whether the GOP survives or not—and feel the same way about the Dems—it is a bit “fun” to watch, if our great nation’s future was not at stake.
Imagine Trump and Carson running together as a team of Independents—and being elected.
Fourth, building on the disgraceful Peggy Noonan’s tripe, the Wall Street Journal‘s editorial staff has the gall to release an editorial that tries to assert Trump has Mafia ties.
See http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-and-the-goodfellas-1449877685 (“Trump and the Goodfellas”)
More anti-Trump “trash” from the Journal.
If it is not the insufferable Peggy Noonan, then it is someone else. One attack after another, all in hopes of scuttling the Trump candidacy.
What a hatchet job, but it is expected from the Journal these days, which has lost all credibility with respect to this issue and the deal with Iran.
Needless to say, the Journal has “fawned” over the murderous Netanyahu to the extent that it can, even though he and his ilk killed an estimated 2,200 Palestinians in Gaza last year alone.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/ariel-sharon-is-missed/#comment-7737 (“Netanyahu Sets Off Firestorm Of Criticism”)
In the Journal “hit piece” about Trump, the editorial notes:
“[W]e have no new revelations.”
The Journal‘s work on this subject should have ended there, but it didn’t. This too speaks volumes.
What about the Kennedy family’s involvement with the mafia? Joe Kennedy was a successful bootlegger, but were their ties ever investigated by the Journal?

Tim, I apologize but this is one of the most ridiculous opinions you have written to date. In fact, this is twice in a row and the rhetoric doesn’t match previous blogs you’ve written. IN fact, your complaints about Putin can be directly related to Trump and his behavior.
You cite a lack of “great” and “heroic deeds” in regards to Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, George Will, Bill Kristol and even Peggy Noonan. Yet you do not list Trump’s “great” and “heroic deeds” that somehow places him above these people. Was it his bankruptcies? Was it his lust for his own daughter? Or is it his desire to blow stuff up the first chance he gets?
You are 110% incorrect in your assertion that Trump does not stand for Republican values. He in fact embodies the current-day Republican ideologies to a heightened, beyond the comical stereo-types we are used to seeing in political cartoons. He exemplifies fear, hatred, and racism. In other words he is exactly like all his Republican counter parts except he has no tact. He can’t disguise his racism, his hatred, and his fear mongering the way career politicians do. People love him because they no longer have to guess whether Trump hates Mexicans, Muslims and Black people. He’s come right out and said it without any care for the repercussions his words will have. Career politicians have seen what unabashed, ideological speech has done.
It doesn’t matter whether Trump gets the nomination or not. He has failed before he has even begun, regardless of his current polls and popularity among white, racist, gun-toting, males. He has alienated two-thirds of the United States population: The Latinos, Blacks, and Muslims. Even the Governor of Florida doesn’t want him there and Florida is a MAJOR battle ground state for electoral votes. Hell, if I didn’t know any better I would have said Trump was a Democrat plant, sent to destroy the Republican’s Presidential bid for 2016. It makes perfect sense. Before you dismiss this “conspiracy theory” as tin foil hat rhetoric, remember that the last time a Clinton was in the Presidential race….there was a Billionaire who brought down the Republican’s presidential bid.
The Republicans should have followed the 2013 Memorandum given by Reince Priebus. Inclusion of ethnic and minority groups commonly shunned by the Republicans was what would have been needed. Republicans racist hatred towards a darker skinned President has lead them wildly out of control in every facet of Government in the United States. The rest of the world is laughing at us more than usual because we cannot even run our Government properly.
I don’t know what you think a President Trump would accomplish. I would try to contemplate it, but since I know it will never happen in my lifetime (which extends to Trump’s lifetime as well) I won’t waste my time on it.
Good luck.
P.S. The only thing GOOD I can say about Trump, is his beautiful lack of theocratic, religious, bible-thumping statements. Separation of Church and State forever!

Thank you for your comments. They are a “mouthful,” needless to say.
First, you have said:
There is no linkage at all.

Second, you said:
Trump has done more already than they will ever accomplish in their lifetimes, individually or collectively. He may be a historic figure. They will be mere ciphers or less and forgotten.
Also, it is too early to tell whether he will be elected our next president, either as a Republican or an Independent. Frankly, I do not care which.
The possibility that Hillary may be indicted is still hanging over her head. If she is, it is “game over” for her and the Democrats—certainly if Trump is the GOP nominee, or if he runs as an Independent.
Third, your third paragraph speaks for itself. The same things could have been said about Ronald Reagan. He was maligned and belittled in every way that Trump is, yet he is deified today and untouchable.
Fourth, your fourth paragraph becomes irrelevant if Hillary is indicted, or her health problems truly surface, or the scandals swirling about her take wings. She makes Donald Trump seem like a choir boy or saint.

Someone has commented recently:
I understand that; however, her indictment, serious health problems and/or other issues may trump such considerations.
Fifth, you stated:
Who cares what the rest of the world thinks about anything? I certainly don’t, not at all.
Among other things, they are being suckered in by the so-called man-made “global warming” or “climate change” swindle, which is a total hoax and simply wealth redistribution to the tune of $34 trillion or more. Yet, they seem too dumb to know or do anything about it.
George Orwell was right on target when he foretold of this madness in his Animal Farm, where the “Pigs” reigned supreme and were masters over—and subjugated—the other animals.

The GOP Establishment Is Unhinged [UPDATED]
This is the “paraphrased” title of an article by Pat Buchanan, which is worth reading:

See http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/murdoch-gop-mad-to-try-dumping-trump/article/2578229 (“Murdoch: GOP ‘mad’ to try dumping Trump”)
In another hatchet piece from the Journal with respect to Donald Trump, the author refers to Trump as a demagogue, and goes on to say that he is exploiting “[e]conomic anxiety, demographic resentment and fears for physical security” for his own purposes.
See http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-bleak-reality-driving-trumps-rise-1450221431 (“The Bleak Reality Driving Trump’s Rise”)
The Murdochs need to clean house at the Journal; and they can begin by firing the author of this article. Peggy Noonan should be fired too, along with those at the Journal who defamed Trump in an editorial entitled, “Trump and the Goodfellas.”
The U.S. continues to “bestride the world like a colossus.” We have the strongest military in the world by far; and we are the largest energy producer globally once again, and essentially energy independent.

It’s Time For The Other 13 GOP Candidates to Drop Out [UPDATED]
This is the title of an article by the always-outspoken American conservative social and political commentator, writer, syndicated columnist and lawyer, Ann Coulter.
Without saying so directly, she is talking about the “Tweedledums” and “Tweedledees” of the Republican party, which includes all of its presidential candidates except the frontrunner, Donald Trump—and inferentially all of its so-called “elite,” “establishment” and “leadership” members.

They are far worse than the public knows. I have seen GOP staffers on the Hill who would literally turn stomachs, they are so bad.
Perhaps it is a stretch, but they might have found a home with Hitler’s SS, and fit right in and never missed a beat.
Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan would not be members of the GOP today. They would probably form a third party.

I agree with your comments 100%. I always appreciate reading your astute take on current events, especially being aware of your extensive background in Washington.
In my opinion, the East Coast Rockefeller Establishment is having a hissy fit over Trump, as are the Neo-Conservatives, who have recently put out feelers for creating a 3rd. party if Trump is nominated. If the psychopathic Neo-Cons get THEIR candidate elected (Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Kasich, Christie and yes … Carson) as POTUS, another major war will be waged in the Middle East, possibly even two (Syria & Iran), which could easily morph into World War III, being that Russia is allied with both Syria & Iran. Turkey has a long history as a warrior nation and as a member of NATO, it feels even more emboldened to confront its neighbor Russia. In the past, major wars have begun over lesser issues than the recent shoot down of the Russian plane by Turkey (along with its brutal execution of the Russian pilot). As far as his overall Middle Eastern policy is concerned, Trump stands in opposition to the Neo-Con/Israeli plan to “remake” the Middle East according to their agenda. So far, this “agenda” has produced nothing other than the deaths of millions of innocent people, bankrupted the federal government, and caused utter chaos in an already unstable Middle East (Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, etc.).
When foreign nations (i.e. the USA) begin to force their geo-political agenda upon other sovereign nations, they are usually met with an escalated response, provided of course that the nation that is on the receiving end has sufficient military capability to respond. In this case, Russia has clandestinely modernized its military capability (to the “surprise” of many “experts”), and seems to believe it can successfully engage any potential enemy (i.e. the USA). Also, Russia remains the one nation on earth that has the unfortunate nuclear capability to destroy the mainland of the USA in a single afternoon.
Trump understands the late hour of our overall situation. He sees that our unemployment is far worse than the reported statistics and that the manufacturing base has been crushed. He sees that we have an oligarchy in the two parties that have turned a deaf ear to American citizens. He understands that massive trade imbalances are draining the wealth of the nation, and that future generations are being sold out by both parties in DC, etc. In response, the Wall Street/Mega Bankers/Corporate/Military Industrial Complex all fear Trump because, as an astute businessman and apparent patriot (AND a non-career politician to boot!), he recognizes the deep problems that we face on multiple fronts (AND as POTUS just might rally the American people enough to DEMAND real change). Trump stands in opposition to this evil, self-serving cabal on virtually every issue, and THAT is why the attacks on him are increasing exponentially. So far, the numerous attacks on Trump by the corporate controlled main stream media have failed. When all else fails, some type of “label” must be applied. I personally see the “anti-Semite” card being flipped over very soon (which will resonate with the millions of uneducated pro-Zionist “evangelicals”). Due to the fact that more and more people rely NOT on the main stream media, but rather the Internet for their news source, these attacks on Trump seem doomed to fail … precisely why blogs such as yours are so important!

First, I spent time with David Rockefeller when I worked in the Senate and he would meet with the late Senator Edward W. Brooke. Only four of us would be together: the Senator, David Rockefeller and his aide, and me.

He was very nice; and I viewed him as anything but a far-Right ideologue. This is not to say, however, that lots of people who have benefited from the Rockefeller family’s largesse would not fit that bill.
As you may know, David’s nephew Jay retired in January as the Senator for West Virginia. He is married to Sharon Percy, the daughter of former GOP Senator Chuck Percy of Illinois.
Also, I spent time around Win Rockefeller, who died all too soon. I remember being at a fishing tournament in the Bahamas, and he had the smallest boat there, and he was very unassuming.

Second, I do not believe the true Neanderthals aka GOP “establishment” will be able to prevent Donald Trump from getting the nomination. If they did, it would tear the GOP apart, and the party might never recover.
Are they willing to engage in political suicide? I do not think so; and I am pleased to see that Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan and Rupert Murdoch are standing tall. In a very real sense, they are the “conscience” of what is best about the GOP.

Third, I agree that the United States needs to stay out of the Middle East, which is imploding. In many ways, perhaps Donald Trump said it best when he talked about letting the parties in the region fight it out; and when the dust settles—or the nuclear clouds part—we can then see who is still standing, if anyone.
The Middle East is not our fight, just as the Iraq War and the Vietnam War were tragic mistakes.
The U.S. is the largest energy producer in the world again, and essentially energy independent. We do not need the Middle East anymore, including Israel.
Fourth, you stated:
Both China and North Korea have that capability too, inter alia, with an EMP Attack. The greatest risk in that regard, however, would be for terrorists to obtain that capability.

I do not believe Putin is suicidal. He wants to retain his life, power and perks. However, at some point we might wake up and learn that he is gone, having succumbed to a fate not dissimilar to that of Italy’s Mussolini. I do not believe Putin will live to a “ripe old age.” Most dictators don’t.

Fifth, I agree with your last paragraph; and again, I appreciate your kind words.
I do not believe Trump is an anti-Semite at all; and I do not believe attempts to label him as such will resonate.
Anyone who dares to defy the “rules” and not march in lockstep with certain Jewish groups is labeled as an anti-Semite—which of course is absurd.

National Review Is Desperately Leading Campaign To Stop Trump [UPDATED]
The once-proud but now “down-and-out” National Review and its editor, Rich Lowry, are trying to galvanize their fellow GOP “Neanderthals” in an effort to stop Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy.
This group includes those who crusaded with Israel’s murderous Benjamin Netanyahu, AIPAC, the AIPAC-bought GOP lackeys in Congress, and un-American Islamophobic “Israel Firsters”—against the Iran deal. Israel and its “neocon” surrogates pushed us into the Iraq War, just as Netanyahu and his ilk have been trying to push us into a war with Iran.
According to media coverage, the National Review‘s group includes William Kristol, Israel-born Yuval Levin, and Jonah Goldberg. Arguably, the Wall Street Street Journal‘s resident Islamophobe from Tel Aviv, Bret Stephens, should join them.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/boycott-the-gop-and-ignore-foreign-naysayers/#comment-7960 (“More Trash Talk About Donald Trump From Bret Stephens“); see also https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/06/islamophobia-is-un-american/#comment-8013 (“Is The Wall Street Journal Islamophobic?“)
A National Review article entitled “Against Trump”—which is subtitled “Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism”—states:
See http://www.nationalreview.com/article/430137/donald-trump-conservative-movement-menace; see also http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/22/us/politics/donald-trump-ted-cruz-republican-establishment.html (“Donald Trump or Ted Cruz?

The National Review should be boycotted, shut down and put out of business.
The mindset of these Neanderthals is exactly why lots of us left the GOP years ago, and will never come back except to vote for Donald Trump—and only Trump.
Republican giants like Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan would, in all likelihood, categorically reject this group and its screed.
. . .
The same thing is true of the once-great Wall Street Journal. The Murdoch family that owns the newspaper should fire the Bret Stephens and Peggy Noonans, and replace them with a new generation.
Donald Trump has tapped into a political vein and “Mother Lode,” much like Ronald Reagan did. Yet, the Reagan “faithful” are tired old souls today, who are out of touch with America. Yes, they followed in his footsteps, but they never understood who he was.
In his own way, Trump does.

I have cared about the Catholic Church for a long time, and agree with many of the things that it stands for. Ancestors on both sides of my family have been Catholics for hundreds of years; and I attend its churches (including California’s lovely and historic Missions) much of the time.

However, the Church is not perfect, by any means. Wading into American politics is unseemly for the Pope, especially days before an important election.
With all due respect to his Holiness, he is another foreign naysayer who might wish to keep his mouth shut at times. Surely he has bigger issues to deal with, such as pedophile priests.
Also, why isn’t he “housing” all of the migrants at the Vatican? Of course I am being facetious. But the immigration issue is ripping Europe apart; and it is very contentious in the United States—which is a nation of immigrants, and the greatest “melting pot” of cultures on the face of the Earth.
The Pope has been an outspoken believer in so-called man-made “global warming” or “climate change,” which is fraudulent, a hoax and the “Great Green Con”—so at the very least, his judgment is not infallible.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/30/a-34-trillion-swindle-the-shame-of-global-warming/ (“A $34 Trillion Swindle: The Shame Of Global Warming“) and https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/america-a-rich-tapestry-of-life/ (“America: A Rich Tapestry Of Life“)

To his credit, Trump is a fighter, and so is Bernie Sanders. Obviously they come from different ends of the political spectrum, yet they are capturing the anger of the American people with respect to government at all levels. They are riding a wave; and it will be interesting to see how far it carries both of them.
My guess is that Trump will be the GOP nominee . . . or the party will be ripped apart like at no other time in its history, since Lincoln. My guess too is that Hillary will be indicted, which would mean “game over” for her presidential quest for the second time.
She has way too much baggage. Among other things, her health is a serious issue.

This will be a revolutionary year in American politics, and/or it will be the “year of the payback” bigtime.
If Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are denied their parties’ nominations, their dedicated and fanatic supporters may bolt from their respective parties and not vote—or they may demand that Trump and Sanders run as Independents.
This would be nothing new for Sanders. He has done it before. Similarly, Trump has let it be known that he is prepared do so too; and he certainly has the money.
Two “wild cards” may come into play; namely, (1) Hillary Clinton should be indicted—which would mean “game over” for her candidacy—and (2) another New York City billionaire, former mayor Michael Bloomberg, might enter the race as an Independent, which would siphon away votes from the Democrats.

Trump need not “unify” the GOP to win. He is bringing in Independents and “Reagan Democrats” already.

Clearly, they are thinking ahead. No one should underestimate him—or them.
While Trump has been a great success in business and in getting things done, those who live in his shadow speak highly of his fairness and, indeed, his generosity. These are not hallmarks of a tyrant. He has made gifts to people and never sought credit or recognition for having done so.

If Hillary Clinton is indicted criminally, it will be “game over” for her presidential aspirations.
Buchanan is correct that the EU may be on the verge of fragmenting. The wave that is rolling American politics seems to be washing over European shores as well.

If he is not the party’s nominee, we will bolt and vote as Independents, or we will not vote at all. We do not need the GOP.

MITT ROMNEY: NO CLASS! [UPDATED]
Finally, like the long-asleep Rip Van Winkle, the Republican Party is coming to grips with the fact that Donald Trump is likely to win the party’s presidential nomination and be the party’s standard bearer in November.

I voted for Romney in 2012. However, in trashing Trump, I am ashamed that I did so.
Romney had his chance. He picked Paul Ryan as his running mate; and Ryan did not even carry his own state of Wisconsin for the Romney-Ryan ticket.
Romney’s time has passed. He is yesterday’s news. Enough is enough.
Donald Trump is in the process of creating a new and more vibrant GOP.

Hopefully Romney will join us, instead of trying to be a spoiler.
Lots of us left the GOP years ago, and will only come back for Trump. Otherwise, we will not vote; or we will vote for the Independent candidacy of Trump—or some may actually hold their noses and vote for Hillary Clinton.
Mitt Romney is pathetic; and the GOP “establishment” consists of neutered Neanderthals.

This is probably the most interesting election cycle in my lifetime, and one in which I hope will result in REAL change. I do sense a very deep resentment (amongst fellow Americans that I speak with) against the “inside the beltway” business as usual, power elite. One very informed gentleman that I spoke with the other day, agreed, that the internet has played a gigantic roll in informing people. We both were of the opinion that unvarnished truth and information are what despotic governments have always feared.

A war against the police is underway, fostered in large part by the hoods, thugs and criminals who have burned, looted and killed innocent people, destroyed their businesses, and engaged in hate crimes. When the police are gone, who will protect the elderly and inner-city blacks?
Today, these ugly “protestors” intended to stop a scheduled presidential political rally, and shut down free speech. It is not the fault of the Trump campaign, but CNN and other far-Left media outlets have predictably blamed Trump.
These thugs should not have been allowed within miles of the event venue. They are the very worst of America. Their lives do not matter!

Most Americans are very insular in their thinking, and view their country as bounded by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Many have not traveled far from where they were born; and most have never traveled abroad.
They do not care what others think. Having saved Europe from the Nazism, as well as the Orient during World War II—and having been the world’s “policeman” until recently—most Americans want to stay home and leave the rest of the world to its “chaos.”
For many Americans, the loss of lives and vast economic treasures in the Iraq War and Afghanistan was too much, especially after the Vietnam War. Yes, they want America to remain strong and vigilant, but only for the protection of our own nation and its citizens.
This is the tide that Trump is riding, which may carry him into the White House in less than a year.
Also, it is a reaction to Barack Obama’s failed presidency.
To our friends in Europe and elsewhere, many Americans think or say:
The United States remains the strongest country in the world, both economically and militarily. We are the world’s only Superpower. Yet, we yearn for more. The rise of Donald Trump embodies those aspirations.

Is Lyin’ Ted Cruz A Serial Cheater? [UPDATED]
Does anyone believe this man about anything? Would you buy a dog or a used car from him?
At the very least, Ted Cruz comes across as a phony, and not likable. He is too plastic for words. Yes, he is smart. But there are reasons why essentially none of his colleagues in the U.S. Senate support him.
Having worked there, I know a collegial spirit exists that cuts across political party lines, even in the worst of times. It is an exclusive club, and its members treat each other with respect if not genuine affection and admiration.
But not so in the case of Cruz. His colleagues seem to loathe him, which speaks volumes.
Lyin’ Ted’s latest and most vicious attacks have been directed at Donald Trump, for having planted rumors and stories about Cruz’s infidelities. Trump has denied any involvement; and in fact, the media is reporting that Trump is correct. Former presidential aspirant and Cruz’s Senate colleague Marco Rubio is apparently responsible.
For example, the UK’s Daily Mail has reported:
See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3509366/Trump-aide-s-fury-100-false-claim-one-five-women-affair-Ted-Cruz.html (“Now the RUBIO camp is implicated in Cruz’s alleged sex scandal: Rumors of FIVE affairs ‘came from an ally of defeated rival,’ claims report as Trump taunts his rival on Twitter“) (emphasis added); see also http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/25/ted-cruz-affair-rumors-peddled-by-marco-rubio-s-allies.html (“Ted Cruz ‘Affair’ Rumors Peddled by Marco Rubio’s Allies”) and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3510455/How-Chris-Christie-Trump-s-right-hand-man-debate-coach-fundraiser-possible-vice-president.html (“How Chris Christie ‘is becoming Trump’s right hand man, debate coach, fundraiser . . . and possible vice president’“) and http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/trump-denies-ties-to/2016/03/27/id/721064/ (“Trump Again Denies Any Involvement in Enquirer Story”—”[Trump] did accuse Cruz of maligning his wife, Melania Trump.

What goes around comes around. People in glass houses like Cruz should watch what they say . . . and do. If anyone believes Lyin’ Ted, there is a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, in which they might wish to invest.

The Congress has been a “haven” for sexual dalliances; some known, while others are kept under the tightest wraps. As I have written previously:

It is time for this wretched human being to return to Tel Aviv, from whence he came. The Murdochs—who own the Journal and FOX—should put him out of his misery and terminate his services. He is frothing at the mouth about Trump, with every word that he writes.
With respect to Barack Obama, I have been a strong critic and a supporter regarding some issues (e.g., his treatment of Russia’s Putin and Israel’s Netanyahu as moral equivalents).

Donald Trump’s Abortion Comments Spark Furor From Both Sides [UPDATED]
The heavily-biased, anti-Trump Wall Street Journal has reported:
See http://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-abortion-comments-spark-furor-from-both-sides-1459371715 (emphasis added)
Politics is a brutal game; and it is not “softball” for amateurs. When it is played at our national level, it is vicious, and seldom are any prisoners taken. Add in the issue of abortions, and it becomes electrified.
Of course Trump was correct, with his first response; and he should not have changed his tune to pacify the spineless with no morals.
When a woman gets pregnant, she relinquishes her rights over the fetus. It has a life and rights of its own from the moment of conception.
Any woman who has an abortion is a killer, period. The argument that she has a right to do with her body as she sees fit is true—a woman’s body is sacred and inviolable—but it does not apply to the fetus.
An abortion is a criminal act: infanticide. Each of the mothers and the doctors and others who have participated—or participate in the future—in the taking of human lives should be arrested, tried, convicted and . . .
Abortion is the taking of a life!
See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/abortions-and-autos-kill-more-in-america-than-guns/#comment-3298 (“55 Million American Babies Killed Since Roe v. Wade“)
There is no question that this is a highly-charged issue, both politically and personally. Years ago, I believed that women had the right to choose; and I never thought twice about it.
Then, I watched a film about the growth of a fetus, from the moment of conception to the moment of birth. I defy anyone to suggest that a fetus is not a human being at each stage of the process.
Also, I read an article about a doctor in Los Angeles who carried out large numbers of abortions . . . until he began to have nightmares; and he stopped doing them.
Both the film and his article began to change my views about abortions. And then along came Ronald Reagan, who championed the sanctity of life.
All three developments changed my views completely.
Imagine the contributions to mankind that might have been made by the 55 million American babies who have been killed since Roe v. Wade. The costs to the world have been truly staggering.
One can only conjecture as to the contributions they would have made, which are forever lost like the contributions of more than 60 million human beings who were killed by Hitler, Stalin, Mao and their thugs.

I agree completely. The only group that will truly save Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are the American people. The long political knives of the so-called “establishments” are out to get both of them, and paint them as extreme radicals who must be defeated at all costs, if not destroyed.
Trump speaks from the heart and so does Bernie, which is why so many Americans are drawn to each of them. They are real and genuine, which is refreshing—certainly for those of us who have worked in national politics.
I saw the Neanderthals of both political parties on Capitol Hill, in full display, which is why I became an Independent more than 20 years ago—after being a Dem. and then a Republican. The “true believers” of both parties are unreal, which is the only way to describe them. And yes, those on the right would prefer to fall on their swords rather than to see Trump in the White House. Those on the Left feel the same way about Bernie.

While the readers of this blog have been kind enough not to shove the words and predictions down my throat, I am mindful of the risks of making predictions—much less bets—in a volatile political climate such as this one.
Having said that—and putting a full list of disclaimers upfront—I believe Hillary will be indicted and forced to abandon her aspirations for the presidency a second time. There are too many things against her.

This would leave Bernie, with the possibility of a late entry by Joe Biden, although I doubt it.
With respect to the GOP, they will be fighting Trump all the way; however, he has the money to fight back. I would be surprised if he and “Lyin’ Ted” reach an accommodation. They have said too many things that are very personal. However, having said that, Cruz might be willing to take the vacant spot on the U.S. Supreme Court, rather than go down in flames.
I would never vote for Cruz if he was the only candidate running. I just do not like him; and apparently his Senate colleagues feel exactly the same way.

To say this is a fascinating—if not bizarre—political year is not to miss the mark. The world must be looking on in total disbelief.

Thank you, Rick, for your kind words.
Trump is shaking up the foreign policy “establishment” and world; and my guess is that he will do it even more if he is elected.
Barack Obama was a “stealth candidate” who did not display his true self until after he was elected in 2008, except in his book “Dreams from My Father” that few Americans ever heard of, much less read.
It is a real shocker, but nonetheless a blueprint with respect to his true beliefs and how he would govern, to this day.
I summarized the book—quoting directly from it, with page cites—in the first article of this blog. Indeed, I started the blog because the article was too long for the Wall Street Journal; I could not figure out the right venue for it; and I was tired of having my articles edited by others. Also, I liked the idea of publishing them the instant that they were ready to go.
See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/is-barack-obama-a-racist/ (“Is Barack Obama A Racist?”)
I have cited Dick Morris’ take on Kasich in my latest set of comments below.
I agree with you about the Supreme Court being crucial; and I agree too with your assessment of Hannity, O”Reilly and Kelly.
The “odd situation at Fox news” with respect to Kelly is that they cannot fire her, albeit some might like to see her go. Hence, they are giving her more responsibility (e.g., specials), and she seems to be “toning down” a bit.
She has an ego as great as the great outdoors.
Lastly, I tweet all of the articles here and most of the comments. The one below is catching on immediately, especially with women, which has been true of lots of them. However, the abortion comments did not elicit any reaction. It is a “hot potato” issue, as we know.

America Will Survive
What is wonderful for lots of us who left both political parties years ago is that they may be in the process of imploding before our very eyes. This may be a truly historic moment and turning point in American history.
The GOP is imploding; that’s for certain.
And if Hillary is indicted as expected, the Dems are apt to implode too.
A run by Trump against Sanders will represent two Independents—yes, Sanders has run as an Independent before—with real guts running against each other.
And yes, the Trump campaign and the Sanders campaign are genuine movements, just as Barack Obama’s quest for the presidency was one.
Without disparaging Obama, he probably knew less about American politics than either Trump or Sanders. And yes too, America has survived his presidency thus far.

The GOP Died Years Ago [UPDATED]
For lots of us, the Republican Party died years ago.
We left because of Neanderthals like Karl Rove, and will never come back except to vote for Donald Trump, and only Trump.
Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in their graves, angry at what the Wall Street Journal‘s editorial board and the likes of Rove, Bill Kristol, George Will and others have done to their once-great and respected Grand Old Party.
Large swaths of the American electorate are very angry, and rightly so. If Hillary Clinton is not indicted, many Americans may reject the nation’s political and judicial processes, as unfair and unjust.
If Trump is denied the GOP presidential nomination, a majority of his supporters will leave the party en masse, and never look back. If Bernie Sanders is shunted aside by the Democrats, his supporters—especially new and young voters whom he has drawn into the American political process for the first time—are likely to bolt as well.
2016 is a year of movements; and anger and turmoil; and changes that may be historical and breathtaking.
Hold on tight. We have not seen anything yet!

Indeed, never mentioning his own criminality or that of his wife, Bill Clinton has spoken of putting “the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us.” This is what Donald Trump’s campaign and movement are all about.

Many of us are Independents or “Reagan Democrats,” who do not care what happens to the GOP, as long as Donald Trump is elected as America’s next president. He has “slain” GOP hopefuls like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio already; and at best, the GOP is in tatters.
Assuming that Hillary Clinton is indicted and her presidential ambitions end, the Democrats will be in even worse shape as November’s elections loom. If she is not indicted, one of the first official acts of the Trump Administration may be to move forward with her prosecution and indictment—which may prompt Barack Obama to pardon her before he leaves office.
Whether as a Republican or as an Independent, Donald Trump may be America’s next president!

If he is not the GOP’s nominee, his supporters may exit the party en masse, and seal its fate for years if not decades to come.
Hillary Clinton may be indicted, which will mean “game over” for her presidential aspirations again, after being trounced by Barack Obama in 2008.

Buchanan is correct as far as he goes. But even he does not recognize fully the deep anger of the Trump and Sanders supporters toward government at all levels, including the American judiciary.
Their supporters are likely to walk from the two major parties, and never look back. The GOP is on tenterhooks already, and it will not take much to tip it overboard. Indeed, Presidents Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan would be ashamed of what their party has become.
Lots of Americans left both parties years ago, and became Independents, whose ranks are likely to swell even more.

If any Republican thinks that Lyin’ Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney or some other hand-picked “establishment” candidate will waltz in and dethrone Trump, they are likely to see the GOP suffer staggering defeats in the coming election. Trump’s supporters may express their anger and rage in ways that no party officials can envision today.
The same is true of Sanders’ supporters—albeit if Hillary Clinton is indicted, it will likely be “game over” for her presidential aspirations; and Bernie Sanders may have smoother sailing to his party’s nomination.
Whatever happens, this November’s elections are likely to be historic and chaotic; and the world may look on with utter amazement and disbelief.
As I have written above, it is time to reform the GOP completely; or let it atrophy and form a third-party—the “People’s Party”—which will bury it once and for all.

Who Are The Trump Voters? [UPDATED]
First, they are Americans who are angry about the direction of our great nation, and the lack of leadership in both political parties. They are fed up; and Donald Trump has captured their spirt, hopes and aspirations.
He is not a “Johnny-come-lately.” He has been saying the same things for years, as interviews stretching back over several decades demonstrate. The difference today is that his views resonate with a growing number of Americans.
See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/boycott-the-gop-and-ignore-foreign-naysayers/#comment-8676 (“Donald J. Trump: The Long Road to the White House: 1980-2015“)
Second, he is not alone. He has been endorsed by a growing list of prominent Americans from all walks of life. Moreover, if Presidents Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan were alive today, they would be ashamed of what the GOP has become.
See, e.g., https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign_endorsements,_2016 (Wikipedia: “List of Donald Trump presidential campaign endorsements, 2016”)
Third, Trump’s supporters consist of (1) “Reagan Democrats”; (2) Republicans; and (3) Independents whose ranks are swelling, as Americans desert both political parties.
See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/the-rise-of-independents/#comment-3244 (“Record-High 42 Percent Of Americans Identify As Independents”) and http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/karl-rove-donald-trump-221926 (“Karl Rove-backed PAC warms to Trump”—”The strategist publicly questions Trump’s electability, but privately his PAC tells donors Trump can win”)
Fourth, Trump supporters and voters are American patriots, from all walks of life. They are the colors of a beautiful rainbow, and believers in the American promise and destiny. In short, they are the very best of America.
Fifth, if Trump is cheated out of the GOP nomination, his supporters are likely to leave the party en masse and never return. The so-called “establishment” Neanderthals are sufficiently stupid that they are willing to commit political suicide rather than see him succeed, inter alia, because their power structure is at stake.
Again, Presidents Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan must be turning over in their graves, watching their party destroy itself.
Yet, each of these great Presidents put America first, which is why our country remains a beacon to the world.

Why The GOP Can’t Take The Nomination From Trump [UPDATED]

Much more than simply losing to the Democrats in November, the GOP will likely suffer losses across the board—in state-wide and local elections—and be devastated as a political party if Trump is denied the nomination.
In short, it would be political suicide for the GOP. Vast numbers of Trump supporters would work actively against each and every one of the party’s candidates nationally; and it would likely end in a party blood bath.
Lots of us left the GOP years ago, and we would love this result: the GOP destroyed completely, and a new Independent “people’s party” formed in its wake!

Yes, I agree that Hillary’s indictment should happen much sooner than November, and before the Democrats’ convention.
My understanding is the Comey is being very careful. More than 100 FBI agents have been involved; and he wants an “iron-clad” case against her, so that neither Obama nor Lynch will have a leg to stand on.
Also, I believe he and others at the FBI and DOJ will resign en masse if Hillary is not indicted, which would send shock waves through our political and legal systems, and around the world.
With respect to Bill, apparently he does not use e-mail. Hillary is likely to be “hung” legally and politically. He is not.
Because he is not healthy, this may be the end of the Clintons, once and for all.

My first ancestor came to the States in 1760 from Bristol, England. Others came from Scotland, Ireland and Germany. Indeed, my German ancestors—a husband and wife who had 16 children—landed at your New York on September 18, 1849.
In 1860, the husband served with his fellow Minnesotans in the Union Army. The assimilation had taken only 11 years, but he was proud to serve; and I am sure many other immigrants felt that way who served with the Confederacy.

Thanks so much as always.
Donald Trump has come a very long way; and he is one step away from living in the White House for four-to-eight years. Also, he is taking off his gloves for some bare knuckle fighting with the Clintons. My sense is that neither of them are in good shape physically.
Just watch Bill. As I have written, he is a mere shadow of his former self. He is not articulate; and his much-touted charisma is gone. Hillary is not in great shape physically either. In a very real sense, they seem to be on their last political and physical legs; they are being pushed to perform by their sycophants; and their audiences are relatively small and not energized like the Trump and Sanders “faithful.”
By attacking Bill as the rapist that he is, and Hillary as the enabler that she has always been, Trump is honing in on exactly what will turn female voters away from them. The two of them have denigrated women, and used and abused them, and yes Bill has even raped them.
I believe Donald Trump will win, possibly in a landslide, in no small part because I believe Hillary’s Achilles’ heel of criminality will bring about her downfall. I believe she will be indicted; and that Comey and his cohorts at the FBI and DOJ will resign en masse if this does not happen.
Thus, however this is sliced and diced, I believe Trump will win. He has slain all of his dragons aka opponents so far; and Hillary may be “easy pickings.”
Having said all of this, I am mindful of the fact that I predicted here that Barack Obama would not be reelected in 2012. I believed in Mitt Romney; and I no longer do, at all.

Like his other articles, this one by Stephens is total rubbish. Ronald Reagan was disparaged as being a “B-movie actor” and far far worse. Yet, he went on to become one of America’s greatest presidents; and the Soviet Union is gone because of him.
The thoroughly-detestable Islamophobic Stephens’ beliefs about the United States and the American presidency are set forth in clear relief. He is a Democrat, or at least a Clinton sympathizer. And if Trump wins, perhaps he will feel most comfortable in retreating back to Tel Aviv from whence he came.
What is crystal clear is that once the Trump presidency begins, the Murdoch family should sack Stephens unceremoniously, and the Journal‘s editorial board, Karl Rove and others. Day after day, they have used the pages of the once-distinguished publication to campaign against Trump.
Considering themselves to be members of the “establishment” elite, they have failed to realize that Americans are angry at and reject their kind categorically. They and their “neocon” fellow travelers brought us the Iraq War in which thousands of Americans died for nothing, while others were maimed for life and trillions of dollars were wasted.

Trump genuinely likes Mexicans and other Hispanics; and he has employed vast numbers of them. However, those who are in the U.S. legally find that their jobs are in jeopardy because of the illegals. Hence, they may become Trump supporters before the November election.

First, there is no such beast as a “progressive” in American politics. The Democrats have tried to co-opt the word; whereas, if it means anything at all, it refers to the far-Left in the United States. They are anything but “progressive.”
Second, a third party is exactly what many of us want. Formerly, we were Democrats and/or Republicans, and we left both parties because neither represented us. Many of us feel most comfortable registering as Independents, whose ranks have been swelling.

Indeed, many of us do not care what happens to either political party: and we would just as soon see both disappear. They do not represent us. Having worked on Capitol Hill and seen both up close and personal, I have felt that way for many years.
Third, those in the Trump “movement” or yes, revolution, consist of so-called “Reagan Democrats,” Independents, and Republicans. It is an alliance that is shaking the political foundations of America’s two-party system, which is long overdue.
Republican presidential giants from Abraham Lincoln to Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan would be proud of what is happening.

The phone calls went on for about six months, she stated. ‘I was shocked to say the least that he would have the audacity to call me after what he did to me’”—”Speaking publicly for the first time in nearly a decade, Broaddrick in November told this reporter that Hillary approached her at a fundraising event three weeks after the alleged rape, and Broaddrick says Hillary implied that Broaddrick should stay quiet about the incident”)
Coulter neglects to mention that Bill Clinton declined Secret Service protection when he flew on convicted pedophile and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express,” the infamous Boeing 727 that ferried Clinton 26 times with victims of child sexual abuse to Little Saint James, Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Clinton Rape Accuser Blasts Biased NBC Anchor, Andrea Mitchell, Wife Of Disgraced Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan [UPDATED]
[Alan Greenspan and Bill Clinton]
WND has reported:
See http://www.wnd.com/2016/05/clinton-rape-accuser-blasts-biased-nbc-anchor/ (emphasis added)
What this article does not report is that Mitchell’s husband was responsible for the economic “crash” of 2008, and the suffering of so many Americans up to and including today.
Indeed, as I wrote in an October 17, 2008 article for the American Banker, the daily newspaper of the U.S. banking industry:
See http://www.americanbanker.com/issues/173_212/-365185-1.html (“Greenspan’s Fingerprints All Over Enduring Mess“)
Thus—along with Bill and Hillary Clinton—Greenspan and Mitchell are two of the most corrupt and odious people in the nation’s history; and their corruption continues with Mitchell’s distorted interview of Juanita Broaddrick.

Trump Is Right: Too Many Judges Are Pathetic Hacks
Pat Buchanan—an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, and a former GOP presidential aspirant himself—has written:

Lots of American judges are hacks, who should be removed from the bench permanently.
Americans are angry, and they should be angriest at the depths to which our judiciary has sunk. The proceedings in most American courts today are remarkably close to “Law West of the Pecos by Judge Roy Bean,” the hanging judge.
In Bean’s court, the law was what he said it was, and nothing else mattered. Too often in U.S. courts today, very little has changed. Judges have become the law unto themselves.
They are imperfect at best—and often egotistical, callous, mean-spirited, power-hungry, self-righteous, condescending and, yes, incompetent, arrogant and tyrannical.
They can smile at you, just as easily as they can slit your throat and never think twice about it.
Shakespeare’s famous quotation—“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”—must have been written by the Bard in some light-hearted, clairvoyant moment with the dark and sinister characteristics of judges in mind.

Thank you again, Rick.
At the outset, he was not my first choice either, but he has mellowed and knows where the GOP “bodies are buried” on the Hill, and how to deal with the Dems too.
I wonder, however, whether his latest comments have cost him the nod. Again, time will tell.
My guess is that Chris Christie will be offered and will take the AG’s position, and that Dr. Ben Carson will be offered and accept either Education or HHS. Both have been Trump loyalists, and they will be rewarded handsomely.

Very nice post, glad I got your link through Twitter, there are not enough articles out there backing Trump, I think he is much smarter than they think and I do believe all his insults or calling out individuals are not accidents, meaning he has been planning his moves years ahead of time.They under estimated Trump and the RNC-GOP,DNC and Media never saw it coming, from day one they kept saying Trump will not make the mark or to the convention and here we are today facing a crap load of incidents against Trump and I do believe he rocked their world in a way they did not expected.
The best part why I vote Trump is it’s not his vulgar words he spats at the mainstream whosoever’s, but the way his enemies who America been so fed up with over 30 years or so are doing everything possible to destroy and rid Trump and to date whatever was attempted or said it failed horribly, on that note it failed because they are the system who has failed way before Trump was a public figure.noting good has come from of up till Ronald Reagan and he too was nearly taken out and its in my darkest fears all these Globalists are soon going to take Trump out, but I think first they are banking on Trump failing at the convention and in the meantime all these #NeverTrump fools will keep digging and finding new possible fail plots to take Trump down.
After reading your article it really has opened my mind to a deep sinister plot going on under our very noses and many are too blind to see our Govt. officials and medias are on the train to bring Mexicans in because just maybe we slept too long and never noticed the Latino’s or Hispanics waltzed in and got educated and took many top political positions and now are top key figures taken control of America and now that they most likely have higher commands they are taken steps for a Hispanic takeover, we always been told our worse enemy lies within and boy we are in for a huge surprise if Trump does not win. Obama recently starting from 2013 till now has released dangerous repeating criminals back into our society and the scary part of it a large portion of them are Hispanics, and I do believe many of those criminals will come to light soon as pawns to start even bigger riots and crimes to use against Trump and I just don’t understand why our law is not stopping Obama breaking laws, why our law standing down, why our President is committing these crimes and is still in office doing it. Whatever happened to America The Brave? I sadly believe RNC and DNC are a bird of the same feather, In my own opinion I strongly believe both sides are desperate to destroy Trump at any cost. Trump is a huge threat to something more than a racial threat to illegals or to current parties and medias, you have to admit Trump has exposed so much since his presidential run and I think the Globalists are afraid the real Truth of it all soon will be exposed and I think they can’t afford to allow Trump to win and try to eliminate him, I think they chance the GOP convention and if Trump wins I do believe it’s time to pull out the “WE Need To Physically Eliminate Trump” attempt. I feel he is in grave danger and I hate to feel this way but my gut tells me the Globalists are desperate and Trump just has way too much power that can bring down the NWO Globalist agenda, After the 9/11 recent demands for missing 9/11 papers they fear he may expose every little dark secret and the whole global cabal will crumble before their very eyes and this is why they are desperate to stop Trump at any cost.
You have opened my eyes to a greater danger than I ever imagined and knowing the Bush family having thousands of acres of land in Latin America I would not be surprised during Bush seating at DC they may already plot to take America down because the bush,Clintons and Obamas have a very strong bond with latin america and using them for an American take down. I really hate feeling like this but it seems very obvious so many links are coming to light connecting our leaders to sinister plots especially 9/11. Thank Yu for writing this post. One note I am not racist to any race or religion, I just dont like them using it against us. Our nation is crumbling, our flags are burning and our freedoms and rights are being destroyed, we have to hate, we have to be aggressive and we have to make sure we don’t lose America.

Thank you, Roland.
I agree completely with your first paragraph.
Second, the #NeverTrump crowd seems to be on their last legs. Many among them have done enormous damage to the United States and the American people.
For example, the “neocons” and their state sponsor pushed us into the Iraq War in which thousands of Americans lost their lives, while others were maimed for life and trillions of dollars were wasted. Now they continue to want an American war with Iran. They are our enemies, not our friends or allies.
Third, you wrote:
I agree. The same “vested interests” lobby both the GOP and the Democrats. It is insidious.
I agree too that “they are desperate to stop Trump at any cost.”
Lastly, I appreciate your comments, and taking time to write them.
