Trump (R &#8211; Blowhard) manage to outsmart the pro politicians, the consultants, the pundits, the critical race theorists, welfare-unionists, and cultural Marxists? \u00a0Well it is a total mystery to the leading luminaries of the GOP, it seems. \u00a0Yet it is not subtle. \u00a0It is a bullhorn, wrapped in a freight train, inside a tsunami. \u00a0Trump told the truth to the American people, for the plain consumption of the American people, as felt by the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all of his small-fingered awkwardness, he is the President most comfortable and most wiling to speak to Americans as such since Ronald Reagan, and may become as magnificent a figure as Lincoln for very similar reasons. \u00a0Lincoln gave great speeches before being elected President, but they were not well regarded in his time, and one of them was a conspiracy theory about the three branches of government working to subvert the function of the Constitution to govern against the will of the people. \u00a0This &#8220;House Divided&#8221; speech launched his failed attempt to unseat Senator Douglas (D &#8211; Slavery). \u00a0Lincoln was mocked and derided as a monkey, an idiot, a bumpkin, a dirty, ugly, unkempt man, a fickle coward unfit to serve, incapable of organizing a meeting much less running a country. \u00a0None of this makes Trump great again. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t even make him fit for office. \u00a0But Americans determine what that fitness shall be, not the elites of anything.<\/p>\n<p>Americans are a largely acquiescent people except when provoked. \u00a0If the Marxist agitators of Ferguson and Baltimore, the racist terrorists of La Raza and the ISM, the fifth columnists who support importing terror-laced &#8220;refugees&#8221; and who oppose controlling our borders think they have been provoked, they need only wait.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the media will try not to notice \u00a0that the exact same thing happening to the Democrats already happened to the always one-step ahead Republicans. \u00a0Wait until the thought begins to settle on people that the Tea Party was quite legitimate, and pre-figured the Democrat version by a good six to eight years, depending. \u00a0Wait for the dawning awareness that a majority of each major party wants the country to move in a more conservative direction.<\/p>\n<p>When you start hearing about how the democrat rural rump is a bunch of homeless white supremacists, you&#8217;ll know the panic has set in.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-1\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-login.php\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"1355\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"user\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/balldiamondball.com\/blog\/wp-login.php\" class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"1355\" data-trigger-type=\"dislike\" data-restriction=\"user\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-down\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\"><\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/politics\/rural-democrats-ignored-suffer-consequences\">article in Roll Call<\/a>, describing the soup that the Democrats have landed in. \u00a0And that ain&#8217;t soup, baby.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats in rural America have a blunt message for the rest of their party: We saw the electoral disaster coming \u2014 and it\u2019s your fault.<\/p>\n<p>For now I&#8217;ll brush past the obvious snide rejoinders about the media treating this nascent &#8220;Tea Party&#8221;
