Ben Stein: “I Have Not Heard A Racist Word” Out Of Donald Trump’s Mouth Stein: Trump Is “Not A Ranting, Blubbering, Fool, He’s Making A Lot Of Sense, And I Don’t See What’s Anti-Democratic About Him”

BEN STEIN: People talk about Trump as if he’s some sort of lunatic. What he’s saying makes a lot of sense. 

NEIL CAVUTO (HOST): But it bothers a lot of folks who say — even in the Republican Party, Ben, that he might be alienating Latino voters who he seems to be targeting. He says no, he’s just talking about illegals. It’s very clear in his statements and press releases that’s exactly what he is saying, but it’s sort of been morphed together, as sort of an anti-Hispanic rant. What do you say? 

STEIN: [INAUDIBLE] Morphed together by the Democratic establishment. There’s so much talk about the Republican establishment, and I don’t even know who is in the Republican establishment. I would think I would be, by virtue of age and the fact that both my father and grandfather were fairly prominent Republicans. But, what I’m looking at here is the Democratic establishment, is the one trying to cut off debate, trying to keep Mr. Trump from speaking. I don’t think there’s ever been a case before where a major political party in the US has had, on a systematic basis, an attempt to silence the other party’s leading presidential candidate. That is an outrage. That is the real anti-Democratic thing that is going on here. It’s not Trump, who is the anti-democratic here, it is the other side. My old childhood next door neighbor, dear friend Carl Bernstein, obviously on very different sides of the fence politically, says Mr. Trump is a neo-fascist. He’s the exact opposite of a neo-fascist. He wants government of, by, and for the people. It’s the other side trying to shout him down, and have government by a screaming, un-elected elite. 

[…]

CAVUTO:  Do you know, or see right now, Ben, any dangers for Donald Trump? I mean, you know, If he has a good night tonight, wins five out of the six, you know, big events here, he could be well on his way. And you hear the establishment trying to make overtures to him, kind of, Donald Trump trying to make overtures to him, kind of. Can they all get along and hug, when all is said and done? 

STEIN: I think they can get along and hug, and I think Mr. Trump is a rising star. I think he has caught on to the national mood, I think Mrs. Clinton is a falling star, trying to play race based, identity based politics. Mr. Trump is saying let’s all stand together as Americans. I have not heard a racist word out of that man’s mouth. He wants a peaceful, calm America, he wants a strong military. How’s he going to pay for it with his tax plan, god only knows, and I certainly don’t know. But I think people should be listening to him. He’s not a ranting, blubbering fool. He’s making a lot of sense, and I don’t see what’s anti-democratic about him.

A Rejection of Neocon Foreign Policy – American Military Members Prefer Trump and Sanders

Michael Krieger | Posted Tuesday Mar 15, 2016 at 10:07 am

Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz has said of the upcoming Concert for Valor:

“The post-9/11 years have brought us the longest period of sustained warfare in our nation’s history. The less than one percent of Americans who volunteered to serve during this time have afforded the rest of us remarkable freedoms — but that freedom comes with a responsibility to understand their sacrifice, to honor them, and to appreciate the skills and experience they offer when they return home.”

It was crafty of Schultz to redirect that famed 1% label from the ultra rich, represented by CEOs like him, onto our “heroes.” At the concert, I hope Schultz has a chance to get more specific about those “remarkable freedoms.” Will he mention that the U.S. has the highest per capita prison population on the planet?  Does he include among those remarkable freedoms the guarantee that dogs, Tasers, tear gas, and riot police will be sent after you if you stay out past dark protesting the killing of an unarmed Black teenager by a representative of this country’s increasingly militarized police? Will the freedom to be too big to fail and so to have the right to melt down the economy and walk away without going to prison — as Jamie Dimon, the CEO of Chase, did – be mentioned? Do these remarkable freedoms include having every American phone call and email recorded and stored away by the NSA?

– From the post: “Stop Thanking Me for My Service” – Former U.S. Army Ranger Blasts American Foreign Policy and The Corporate State

The U.S. presidential campaign in 2016 thus far has exhibited a dramatic and much needed public rejection of the status quo, aka “the establishment.” While a majority of the commentary has been justifiably focused on anger about the economy and how a smaller and smaller group of “insiders” have systematically accumulated more and more wealth via parasitic rent-seeking behavior, there’s another very important repudiation occurring. A total rejection of neocon, interventionist foreign policy.

Longtime readers of Liberty Blitzkrieg will be under no illusions about the fact that the Obama administration has represented a perfect continuation of the George W. Bush foreign policy doctrine, albeit with a more sleek marketing approach to placate the conscience of willfully ignorant fake liberals. Well the blowback from this one party foreign policy approach has arrived, with its evidence appearing in the form of military support of both Trump and Sanders.

As reported by the Military Times:

In an exclusive survey of American military personnel, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders emerged as active-duty service members’ top choices to become the next commander in chief.

The Republican front runner Trump was the most popular candidate in a subscriber poll that closed Sunday, with 27 percent saying they would back the business mogul if the election were held tomorrow. Sanders, the independent Vermont senator, was a close second at 22 percent.

The data also suggest that military personnel have not been dissuaded by political rivals who contend Trump and Sanders have weak foreign policy credentials and don’t have recognized experts as national security advisers.

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who has made national security issues one of the centerpieces of his campaign, was nearly last in the Military Times survey, with only about 9 percent of candidates favoring him.

Now here’s a graphic of the totals:

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 9.27.58 AM

The first thing that catches your eye is that the two biggest establishment neocons when it comes to U.S. foreign policy, Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio, have virtually zero support. While Trump sits in the top spot, this isn’t totally surprising given his campaign rhetoric advocating for both a military buildup as well as a more circumspect approach when it comes to interventionism. That said, what is downright shocking is how Bernie Sanders occupies a close second to Trump while absolutely crushing Hillary Clinton. Since the U.S. military is not known for being a bunch of socialist hippies, there’s something extremely significant going on here, and that something is a rejection of neocon interventionist foreign policy by the U.S. military.

The U.S. establishment can either fade away quietly or it can be tossed away kicking and screaming, but go it will. From all ends of the political spectrum, the American public has had enough and is beginning to forcefully reject the corrupt and criminal status quo. It can’t happen soon enough.

CARSON TO ENDORSE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT

Will announce at Trump’s Florida resort Friday

Jonathan Easley | The Hill – MARCH 10, 2016 236 Comments

Carson to Endorse Trump for President

Ben Carson will endorse Donald Trump for president on Friday.

Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who ended his own presidential bid earlier this month, will join Trump at a press conference at the businessman’s Mar-A-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., to make the announcement.

Trump and Carson both have homes in West Palm Beach and proved to be friendly adversaries throughout the nominating process.

Their campaigns colluded at one point to seize the debate negotiating process from the Republican National Committee, and Trump went strongly after Ted Cruz’s campaign for spreading the false rumor that Carson was dropping out of the race before the Iowa caucuses.

MASS EXODUS: THOUSANDS OF LIFELONG DEMOCRATS JUMP TO TRUMP

Thousands of Democrats also propelled Reagan to White House

Kit Daniels | Infowars.com – MARCH 10, 2016

Mass Exodus: Thousands of Lifelong Democrats Jump to Trump

IMAGE CREDITS: DARRONB / FLICKR.

Over 46,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched parties to vote for Donald Trump, joining thousands of other lifelong Democrats in blue states doing the exact same thing.

In Massachusetts alone, at least 20,000 Democrats have defected to support Trump and another 1,000 blue-collar Ohio Democrats are also jumping ship to Trump, and no Republican president has ever won the White House without Ohio.

The movement, called “Ditch and Switch,” was promoted in Sept. by the YouTube duo Diamond and Silk and explains why Trump is winning so many open primary states where voters don’t have register as Republicans to cast GOP ballots.

“For many years the Democratic Party has promoted agendas that most Americans did not agree with,” Diamond and Silk declared in a video. “Our country is deeply divided, and the silent majority has been bullied into silence by political posturing and underhanded agendas that favor the few while excluding the majority.”

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuUGu1igsyY]

The last time a similar movement erupted was likely during the 1980 presidential race when switchover Democrats helped propel Ronald Reagan into the oval office.

“The labor unions, who usually support the Democrats, a lot of our members, and a lot of their families, are supporting Trump,” said Keith Strobelt with the United Steelworkers local union in Canton, Ohio. “It could be that several hundred of our members will back Trump.”

“A lot find him refreshing. He says a lot of things they say around their dinner tables.”

And that’s scaring Democratic Party leaders.

“Trump put together a coalition in Massachusetts that elects Democratic governors,” Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh said, pointing out that Trump has won big in blue-collar, union cities across the rust belt. “He won among Catholics, a week after picking a fight with the Pope.”

“I absolutely think he can put the rust belt into play.”

TRUMP CALLS FOR GOP ESTABLISHMENT TO “COME TOGETHER” BEHIND HIM

“I’m a unifier. I get along with people.”

Steve Watson | Infowars.com – MARCH 9, 2016

Trump Calls For GOP Establishment To "Come Together" Behind Him

Following primary wins in Michigan, Mississippi, and Hawaii Tuesday night, Donald Trump called on establishment Republicans to quit the in fighting and rally behind him.

“I’d say, let’s come together folks. We’re going to win,” Trump said during his victory speech.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlZjhIwQX64]

When asked if he needs GOP insiders like Mitt Romney to get behind him in order to win a general election, Trump replied “Not 100 percent, but largely I would say yes.”

“Some people you’re just not going to get along with. … But largely I would like to do that.” Trump added.

“And believe it or not, I am a unifier. I unify. I mean you look at all of the things I built all over the world. I’m a unifier. I get along with people.” the billionaire frontrunner declared.

Trump added that “whether you call them the establishment or not, they should embrace” the popularity of his campaign.

“The Democrats would love to have what’s happening. … There’s no spirit there,” Trump urged.

“We’re way up with millions of people. So what I say to the Republicans is embrace it. We will win the election easily.” Trump stated.

“The turnout has been just massive, every week,” Trump said. “I actually think it’s the biggest story in politics today, and I hope the Republicans will embrace it.”

This past weekend, it was reported that scores of establishment GOP figures and major donors flew to an exclusive resort off the coast of Georgia on private jets to meet up and discuss how they can stop Trump from winning the GOP nomination.

Also addressing the aggressive campaign to compare Trump to Hitler this week, The Donald noted “I don’t think I’ve ever had so many horrible things said about me in one week… It shows you how brilliant the public is because they knew they were lies.”

“The bottom line is we have something going that’s so good,” Trump said, adding, “We should grab each other and we should unify the party.”

Trump reiterated the idea of unity Wednesday morning, telling CNN’s New Day, “I would love to see the party come together and unify.”

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw4wKBrDhOM]

“I am a uniter, but I have to finish off the project,” he said. “You have to finish off what you have to finish off.”

Speaking of Hillary Clinton, following her own primary victories, Trump declared that “She’ll definitely get the nomination… But losing Michigan is more than a bump in the general, because it’s just the people don’t want her.”

He added that Clinton is seeing “no enthusiasm.”

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey indicates, however, that both Clinton and Bernie Sanders would comfortably beat Trump in a general election by double digits.

The survey found that at this time Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz would both fare better against the Democratic front-runner, but would still be defeated. Could this be a possible reason for Trump’s calls for the GOP establishment to get behind him?

Full Speech: Donald Trump Press Conference in West Palm Beach, FL (3-5-16); A Populist Movement Never Seen Before; Donald Trump Has Awoken The Beast

Americans need to understand the enormity of this movement and the man leading it.  This is the biggest populist movement the corrupt political system has seen in well over 100 years here in the Republic of these United States of America.  The usurpers of the American political system and creators of the now perverted political system, along with its minions, are running ‘hysterically’ scared.  They are using every last dime of their ill gotten gains to try and silence the voice of the people by smearing, discrediting and silencing Trump!  Why?  Because Donald Trump has flat out, challenged the global elite – ‘INTERNATIONALLY’  – in their “scheduled” attempt to fulfill the final death blows to all sovereignty across this planet and replacing it with a one world governance!!  This is complete #CultureAssassination.

TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty); forced migration by way of intervention based on lies to the American people; the economy, jobs and the sucking sound you hear as that and your income continues to disappear; this along with the overall rape and pillage of America from corporate interests; to degenerate radicals; to the indoctrination of your children to turn on you.  Donald Trump thought America was still worth fighting for and is quite possibly our last chance to stop the total loss of a once great nation and its children.  He is a man of the people because he is angry about the exact same things Americans are angry about, but who simply do not have a voice locally, let alone from D.C.  He is pushing all the right buttons because he – like the rest of us  -knows we are getting the shaft! 

YES WORLD: Donald Trump has finally awoken the beast.  Americans ARE sick of Washington D.C. corrupt politics and it took ONE man to brilliantly awaken and give Americans a real voice right smack dab in the middle of a presidential election!  One man who had enough guts, along with the support of ALL those who know, love and are personally backing him, Donald J. Trump a self made business man and an American icon, stepped into the arena to speak on behalf of America simply because he loves this country and saw we are in danger of losing everything beloved about America!  But when he did he also took on the world against America and the enemy IS within. If you think that does not take a tremendous amount of courage you are clueless.  This man deserves 100% of our support and prayers.  Tell your friends.  America is at a crossroads and we have a chance to profoundly change things for the better of America,  for the better of America’s children and quite frankly for a much better future for humanity. 

Do not let the global elites win!  Do not let the sovereignty of this nation slip away.  If you are a true patriot of America, you must vote for Donald J. Trump.  There is no other candidate who is for America more.  ALL of the other candidates are bought by corporations owned by the global elite.  The two party system is a joke and we all know it!  Especially when you see the likes of the Republican party eating their own and supporting Hillary Clinton because they simply can’t support someone who represents the people because he cannot be controlled to change laws, regulations and make back room deals in their favor! 

A VOTE FO TRUMP IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA!

THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT AND THAT CHOICE IS DONALD J. TRUMP!

GET ON THE #TrumpTrain AMERICA, IT IS THE RIGHTEOUS PATH TO START CLEANING HOUSE AND REINSTATING TRUE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW!

TALKING-HEAD TWIT OF THE YEAR CONTEST

ELECTION 2016

Ann Coulter cites examples of punditocracy repeatedly blowing Trump predictions

Published: 9 hours ago

 

The cluelessness of the GOP pundit class is infuriating but may ultimately be our salvation. Nothing they say about anything is ever right, even accidentally.

This is making the TV news shows resemble Monty Python’s “Upperclass Twit of the Year” contest. The twits don’t notice the starting gun, run into one another, fall down, run themselves over with their own cars, and, then, the remaining contestants all shoot themselves in the head.

Anyone who talks about politics on TV isn’t going to win them all, but when your horse takes a dump in every single race, week after week, why should we listen to you next time?

If you tuned into ABC’s “This Week” the morning after Trump’s tremendous victory in South Carolina, you’d find George Stephanopoulos promising analysis from a “powerhouse roundtable,” by which I assume he was referring to the table itself.

He then turned to the sort of clueless morons who have gotten everything wrong for the past seven months so they could tell viewers “what’s next.”

I’ve picked these two “Republican strategists” at random for reasons of efficiency, but it could have been any of the Karl Rove-Matthew Dowd-Steve Hayes-Hugh Hewitt-George Will-Rich Lowry dream team.

Prepare to be dazzled by the analysis!

Republican strategist Sara Fagen:

  • July 26, 2015, NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “At the end of the day, (Trump) is not going to be the Republican nominee.”
  • Aug. 9, 2015, ABC’s “This Week”: Trump “just feels like that summer fling in high school that your parents tell you not to do, but you can’t help yourself. But by the time we get back to school, I think Donald is going to be fading well into the background of this race.”
  • Sept. 13, 2015, NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “Ultimately, I believe a governor, a Jeb Bush or a Chris Christie or someone is going to emerge.”
  • Nov. 1, 2015, ABC’s “This Week”: Jeb “has the most money. He has the most organization. He has the most endorsements, and … he’s been through the fire before. And that is incredibly valuable in the long run. … He will be able to weather this storm, and I think he’ll be stronger for it when he does.”
  • Jan. 3, 2016, NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “As this field continues to narrow and it’s Donald Trump versus one or two other candidates, that’s when this race will really come into focus. … After Iowa, this thing is going to jumble again. … Christie, to me, is one that I would watch.”

If you cut out words from a magazine and randomly pasted them on a piece of paper, you would produce a better analysis of what is happening in this election than anything said by Fagen.

Republican strategist Alex Castellanos:

  • Aug. 7, 2015, CNN’s “Newsroom”: “The Megyn Kelly moment … killed Trump’s opportunity for growth. The fire that is Donald Trump is now contained. It’s not going anywhere. He is not growing. He was just going to hang on to that white-hot core. His numbers may dip or rise a tiny bit. He is no longer a huge threat to dominate and control the Republican Party.”
  • Aug. 17, 2015, CNN’s “Anderson Cooper”: “In a general election, though, Trump is not going to be the nominee. When he leaves, he will be defeated by an anti-Trump. So, there will be a cleansing that will go on, once he is knocked out of primaries.”
  • Aug. 23, 2015, NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “And Donald Trump – who is not going to be the nominee … Look, the average winner of a Republican primary caucus I think, first of all, gets what? – 40, 41 percent. So Donald Trump is not going to grow to that.”
  • Aug. 24, 2015, CNN’s “Wolf”: “Frankly, Jeb Bush has a majority Republican position on immigration, on securing the border, on not deporting 4 and a half million children who are U.S. citizens.”
  • Aug. 26, 2015, CNN’s “Newsroom”: Trump’s voters are “not a majority in the Republican Party. This may be the summer of Trump, but we vote in the winter.”
  • Sept. 16, 2015, CNN’s “New Day”: Jeb is “still a Bush. He’s still got 100 million bucks in the bank and TV. We are moving to a new phase of the campaign. Candidates are going to have TV ads now. So it’s not just news media with Trump and debates.”
  • Dec. 6, 2015, ABC’s “This Week”: “It’s entirely possible that Donald Trump is the nominee.” (By then, Trump had spent five months at No. 1 in the polls, and even CNN was calling him “the undisputed leader of the Republican presidential pack.”)
  • Dec. 6, 2015, ABC’s “This Week”: “Marco Rubio is the future of the Republican Party, a different Republican Party, if there’s a little shot that if this is a Trump-Rubio race, we could see the beginning of a better Republican. … But it’s not about issues with Trump.”

You will find the exact same idiocy on any other political program. For hours of fun, take a week off, call in sick and search Nexis for the words, “Republican strategist” and “Trump.”

Chimps throwing darts at a dictionary would be right more often. Why are these people still allowed in the building? The FCC ought to force the TV networks into a massive settlement for promoting snake oil salesmen.

If I were a career counselor, I’d tell my students to become “Republican strategists.” You can be terrible at what you do – and the phone will never stop ringing! In no other profession, even fields that require a fair amount of speculation like oil wildcatting or weather forecasting, can you be so consistently wrong and never lose work.

“Adios, America! The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole” is Ann Coulter’s latest best-selling book driving the left nuts — hard, cold facts about immigration’s impact

After Trump’s huge victory in New Hampshire and then in South Carolina, did it occur to TV bookers to call any of the people who got it right?

Alex Marlow, editor in chief of Breitbart News, explained everything that was about to happen in this race back on the Sept. 14 edition of CNN’s Erin Burnett show.

While all the other “strategists” gibbered about Trump losing the Hispanic vote, Marlow said: “Trump is growing the big tent. … Trump’s policies are appealing to blacks. There are even some polls out there, like a survey USA poll, saying Trump is actually doing fine with Latinos.”

In the Nevada primary on Tuesday, Trump not only won the Hispanic vote; he not only won 17 points more of the Hispanic vote than his next closest rival; but his Latino vote nearly matched that of the two Latino candidates combined.

In one of the few times you might have heard this point expressed on television airwaves, Marlow said that the No. 1 issue for Breitbart News’ 20 million readers, “has consistently been – since last year – immigration. They are looking for someone who is going to seal the border and prioritize border security as No. 1.”

Obviously, Marlow was right about everything. According to Nexis, that was the last time he appeared on TV.

It would be as if, after discovering America, Christopher Columbus reported back to the king and queen of Spain, but the booker for Ferdinand and Isabella decided that, instead of Columbus, she’d get the guy who never actually set sail for the New World because he was afraid he’d fall off the edge of the Earth into a fiery pit.

Fantastic – that’s great. You’re going to be our go-to expert on the discovery of the New World. Can you be here early Sunday morning?

TRUMP’S VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS: A NEW MAJORITY

ELECTION 2016

Exclusive: Theodore Roosevelt Malloch explains candidate’s appeal with WWMC voters

Published: 21 hours ago

 

author-image THEODORE ROOSEVELT MALLOCH About | Email | Archive

After his resounding win in South Carolina, it is worth asking why Donald Trump is winning so resoundingly and will now likely become the Republican presidential nominee. To whom exactly is Trump giving voice?

In addition to the nearly constant personal attacks on Trump himself, the largest segment of his followers have themselves now come under rebuke. Although we shall not discuss them below, we want to acknowledge and emphasize that his supporters come from all walks of life, every community, ethnic group, gender, age and every race. The segment we wish to address is the so-called “white working and middle class” (WWMC) – 52 percent of all Americans in 2015. This is, to use a phrase employed by Coolidge and then Nixon, Trump’s “silent majority.”

This segment of the U.S. population is attacked from the left (Huffington Post and almost all mainstream media) for supposedly being xenophobic and racist. It is attacked from the right (WSJ) as being ignorant of economics and intolerant.

Let’s look first at the charge of xenophobia. Rather than hating foreigners, what the WWMC experiences at the gut level is fear, anxiety and distress at the erosion of American spiritual capital and the American dream. While the WWMC bases these conclusions on life experience, the same phenomenon has been identified at the scholarly level by Samuel Huntington (“Who Are We?”), Capaldi and Malloch (“American Spiritual Capital”) and Charles Murray (“Coming Apart”).

The essence of spiritual capital is high achievement and reward based on self-reliance, hard work and faith in a transcendent being, which created America as an exceptional place, a New Jerusalem, a shining city on a hill. It welcomes all people who come to America to share that dream – not those who come to turn America, either wittingly or unwittingly, into the place from which they have just escaped. It welcomes ethnic food. (Thankfully we are no longer limited to the bland traditional British cuisine our Founding Fathers knew.) This vision of spiritual capital embraces everything that enriches America – rejecting the culture of poverty and pervasive cynical political corruption as a norm.

A fascinating, can’t-put-it-down memoir describing the power cabal from the inside, Theodore Roosevelt Malloch’s brand new book, “Davos, Aspen & Yale: My Life Behind the Elite Curtain as a Global Sherpa”

Unfortunately, under the guise of multiculturalism we see the erosion of American spiritual capital, the emptying of the melting pot and the substitution of belief in God for an intolerant secular humanism. The Democratic Party currently sees immigrants as recruits, to the detriment of the WWMC. But despite the revolutionary ambitions of the militant far left now controlling the Democratic Party, the WWMC is not defeated or discouraged. The genius of Trump is that his rhetoric, considered simplistic by the urbane, sophisticated far left of New York City and Hollywood, sees the American dream rekindled in Trump’s enthusiasm. In Trump’s assertion he will “make America great again,” the WWMC sees hope a sound middle class income will once again be achievable in America, bringing with it the hope a secure future and a way forward for betterment may yet be attainable.

We move now to the charge of racism. There are lots of dysfunctional and wrongheaded people. How are we to understand them? Intellectual and media elites believe that everyone is a product of social circumstances beyond his/her control. As Harvard philosopher John Rawls once put it, those of us who are successful are products of the genetic lottery and happy family circumstances. If we work hard, that’s only because of our DNA and ambitious parents (who in turn are products of their DNA and their ambitious parents, etc.). There is a total rejection on the part of elites of the idea that internalizing success norms is itself an act of free will and a serious commitment to postponing gratification. This is consistent with the determination of the secular elite on the far left today to write God out of the picture completely.

In writing God out of the equation, the moral responsibility of each human being is ruled out of any consideration for their success. That’s where white guilt gets written into the picture as the central dynamics of the human equation. If some members of the minorities demand to be respected because they embraced the American dream and worked hard to overcome obstacles, they are to be ignored or charged with being Uncle Toms. The point of the far left is that white people succeed because white advantage is society’s addition to DNA and happy family circumstances explaining why white people are more likely to be included in the famous “1 percent” of the economic heap the far left rails against.

The American dream is seen as a farce; the successful members of the WWMC are perceived to enjoy what is termed “white privilege.” If there are dysfunctional people, they are to be pitied as victims who deserve an endless stream of resources, resources that do not go to the WWMC. The victims, of course, are the racial minorities and immigrants the far left of the Democratic Party sees as their constituents. When the WWMC objects to affirmative action they are called racist. When the WWMC is resentful of those who play the race card they are silenced by a pervasive PC political correctness.

We turn now to attacks launched upon the WWMC by the political right that controls the establishment GOP. Pundits aligning with George Will’s brand of Weekly Standard conservatism believe that the WWMC is composed of economic nationalists, not lassiez-faire economic actors in a free market economy. The free market is a great theory, but it does not exist in practice, certainly not in the international sphere – something that defenders of outsourcing tend to forget. It’s easy to speak about the long-term benefits of a so-called free market when you are already a Washington insider benefiting from the increasing income inequality in America, in which WWMC chronically loses ground to cheaper foreign labor, whether accessed overseas through free-trade agreements or imported as illegal immigrants.

When Democrats are in control we get crony socialism; when the Republican establishment is in control we get crony capitalism. The pharmaceutical industry is an interesting case in point, switching from crony capitalism when it blocked Hillarycare, to crony socialism when it embraced Obamacare.

Republican elites – who routinely make six- and seven-figure incomes, who benefit from “insourcing” (looking the other way when the domestic economy encourages illegal immigrants to work here at less than market rates rather than in their native country), who move effortlessly in a cosmopolitan cultural bubble far removed from the WWMC, who politely ignore affirmative action because their kids will get into the Ivy League anyway, who live in expensive gated communities, who really don’t care about the fate of minorities (they’ll vote for the Democrats no matter what), who are willing to pander to activist Hispanics – think they will get enough of the WWMC vote by throwing a bone to a few evangelicals (having learned nothing from Mitt Romney’s defeat).

While the supporters of socialist Bernie Sanders, especially the entitlement generation, want free stuff, supporters of Donald Trump in contrast want rewarding jobs. While the Washington elite in the George Will/Weekly Standard club hate labor unions, Donald Trump can claim to have hired in his various companies over decades more racial minorities and Latinos that all the other GOP presidential candidates put together. What a surprise it will be both to the current far-left establishment of the Democratic Party and the current William F. Buckley-descended “conservative” elite of the GOP when Donald Trump attracts the support of the “Reagan Democrats” that constitute a large percentage of today’s WWMC.

What the Trump supporters from the WWMC want is simply restoration of the American dream! They seek a voice for the “silent majority.” Truthfully, the American dream is bigger than any party or establishment, and it is more important than a narrow neoconservative ideology that loses elections and too often establishes only itself and the special interests that support it. The WWMC class needs a voice. Trump is the messenger of this voiceless group.

MONEY CAN NO LONGER BUY ELECTIONS

Exclusive: Joseph Farah notes inverse correlation between campaign spending, votes cast

author-image JOSEPH FARAH

Why haven’t we seen that headline yet in 2016?

It’s a pretty big story, don’t you think?

It’s been a strange and wild presidential primary campaign season in both parties. But the biggest story hasn’t yet been reported – that money doesn’t buy votes any more.

For example, the Jeb Bush campaign spent over $30 million in the South Carolina primary. For that, he couldn’t break 10 percent of the vote. He’d spent a similar amount in New Hampshire with similar results. Realizing it’s not a matter of how much the campaign spends, he bowed out of the race last weekend.

It was only about six months ago the know-it-alls in the Republican Party were telling me this was Jeb Bush’s year. No one else had a chance.

Now let’s turn to the other party. Hillary Clinton was also supposed to be Miss Inevitability. Why? She had all the money. Just as the 2008 campaign was to end in her coronation, so was the 2016 primary.

But along came Bernie Sanders. Apparently, no one told him his candidacy was just for show purposes. He actually put together a grass-roots organization funded by grass-roots donors. The results have shocked the Democratic Party establishment as much as Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have traumatized the Republican National Committee.

For the two party establishments, 2016 has been a double whammy.

The rules have been rewritten.

Conventional wisdom has been confounded.

The political sages have been discombobulated.

Even the media have been perplexed, thunderstruck, astonished.

It’s a whole new ballgame. Comparing this election season with those of the past may be a waste of time. What’s happening is historic.

And it’s not just a matter of personalities.

Of course Donald Trump shook things up in a way no one could have foreseen. But does anyone really believe that it’s Bernie Sanders’ personality that has thrown the Democratic primaries into chaos and confusion?

What’s happening this year is truly the result of a spontaneous voter revolt.

Faced with the possibility of a Bush-Clinton rematch in 2016, Republicans and Democrats have both expressed a shocking amount of anger, exasperation and rejection.

The money couldn’t overcome the passion. And just so you don’t tell me, “But Donald Trump has all the money in the world to spend,” consider this: He has barely spent any yet. While Bush was spending $30-plus million in New Hampshire and another $30-plus million in South Carolina, the Trump campaign spent only about $1 million in each of those races.

It’s amazing really.

And with that small level of spending, Trump has dominated the election news cycle every day since he entered the race.

If anything, voters have rejected the ads and cast ballots on what they’re feeling in their gut.

Something new is truly happening here.

I know the news cycle has reported everything I’ve told you here, but they haven’t written the headline yet: Money can no longer buy elections.

You would think this would be good news.

You would think this would be shocking news.

It’s even more unbelievable when you consider Sanders is running a one-note-johnny campaign vilifying how money is corrupting politics in America. Yet, the success of his campaign is evidence to the contrary.

Now Sanders may not win. But it won’t be because he didn’t raise enough money. He is raising far more than Hillary. He probably won’t win because the Democratic Party’s corrupt rules and its establishment pre-determined the winner. That’s the only way Hillary wins – that and her uncanny ability to avoid indictment.

In 2016, there’s almost an inverse correlation between campaign spending and votes cast.

That may not carry over the general election, but you have to admit, this is a big, amazing and as-yet unheralded story.
