Good post. Yes, tear it all down, YES. With a house in such decay and disrepair, it's best to tear it down to the foundation and start over. This time, a fresh coat of paint just won't do it.
Donald Trump is that wrecking ball. He can not only bring in conservative and evangelical republicans and disaffected moderate republicans, but also disaffected democrats, many of them Reagan Democrats and union workers, especially blacks and Latinos after years of Obama talk and no action on jobs or better pay.
Donald Trump is not just running for president. He's running to lead a political movement.
Yes indeed. These last few post really sum it all up very well. I will throw-in with the burn it down meme.
Almost every major Republican has discussed things like abolishing the IRS, abolishing the EPA, abolishing the NEA and the SEIU, et al. However, it was a carrot on a stick. As we know now, they never had ANY real intention of doing any of that. Not even a single one. Nothing. In fact, these bureaucracies always wind up getting bigger and bigger each year.
From a strict point of view, these organizations are not only illegal, they are prohibited by the founding fathers. No unelected bureaucrat should have the power to make law. And yet they do it every day. Congress is supposed to create law by vote. However, Congress is feckless and corrupt and they want to do dirty corrupt things without having to be associated with them. This is where the bureaucrats come in handy. Congress has deliberately and 'illegally' ceded power to faceless bureaucrats to implement corrupt policies that benefit them personally and directly. Then they hold their hands up and say, Hey, it wasn't us. They did it. It is all a rigged shell game. And they know it. And they like it that way. That is why none of these organizations are going to go away. It will simply never happen.
However, enter Trump. Trump is the guy who do these major reforms that we have been teased with for decades. Trump would 'burn it down'. He has moxie to do it. And he would do it quickly. He doesn't procrastinate. He is a doer. This is exactly what has the D.C. rats crapping themselves and running about hysterical.
Trump represents the exact opposite of everything Washington is. Politicians love studies, and surveys, and sampling, etc. But never do anything. They hate action. The want everything the stay the same forever. Trump scares them to death.
And so many people in America HATE Washington D.C. and politicians, that they would vote for Trump only because the establishment does not want them to. Anything that scares them this much must be, by definition, a good thing.
When is a vote for Trump not a vote for Trump? When it is a vote to tear up Washington D.C.
Burn it down, baby, tear it all down. Let it burn.
P.S.
That is the mistake they keep making. That is the source of their confusion. Every time they criticize Trump, his numbers go up. It is a waste of time to focus on Trump, the man. Because what Trump represents is bigger than Trump. Trump is not a 'politician'.
Trump is a 'movement'. The Trump movement is what people are voting for, not the man.
