Playing a Rigged Game
“You can lead a fool to water, but you can’t make them drink.”
The DNC rigs their election process so Hillary will win no matter what. Is anyone actually surprised? Would you want a 70 something socialist with a list of accomplishments so paper thin that they’re barely visible to the naked eye as your candidate? Not if you were rational and wanted to win.
Bernie Sanders has had a quarter century to leave a paper trail of legislative triumphs. I mean, the guy wants to remake the world, so a reasonable question might be “Where’s your record?” Sure, Bernie takes stances. But legislation means you need to actually get things done by negotiating with the enemy. The stance, by comparison, requires no effort. It’s a pose. The protest also requires little real effort. But, apparently, you can tell where Bernie stands by looking at his stances. For young people (both the chronologically young and the mentally young) the pose is good enough.
This doesn’t change the fact that the democratic honchos lied and finagled to get the outcome they wanted, regardless of the will of the people. They weren’t alone. The media overwhelming ran interference for the DNC because they wanted Hillary too. And, make no mistake, they will continue to play that role, making excuse after excuse why lying and finagling on behalf of Hillary was and is necessary.
Now, this might be the point where some people begin to question why the media’s incessant attacks on Trump aren’t more of the same. Meaning, planted stories, lies, and general finagling of a high order in order to smear Trump. But, no, they are sure that Trump is like Hitler. If Trump has a dog, you can be sure that the dog, like its master, is also like Hitler.
Yes, the party of slavery and Jim Crow, the party of big government = freedom, the party of high taxes means you’ll have more money, the party of the status quo—is really the party of James Dean-like rebels—who favor the poor, the minority and the transvestite. Yes, the democrats have got your back Mr. and Ms. Average American. How do we know they care? Because they have a category for everybody. Division = unity.
But, at least they’re not Donald Trump, who basically beat back the status quo in his party like Hercules unchained—and, without taking bribes from every pimp and political fat cat in Washington. If you can tell a lot about a man by his enemies, then, Donald Trump is the real James Dean, and his victory could be America’s victory. Maybe. I don’t know for sure. But I do know that Hillary is just one more in a long line of pimps who’d sell her soul (and probably has) to get elected. One minute she’s a war-hawk, the next she’s the champion of the downtrodden, railing against the 1 percenters, even though she is, in reality, a 1/10 of 1% of the economic elite. She is a faux-Marxist in a $12,000 dollar jacket. Socialism for thee, but not for me, is the democratic mantra.
Finally, people will argue that Donald Trump has less of a political track record than Bernie. Of course, that’s because he’s not a politician. He has however, spent a life actually building tangible things, creating jobs and wealth. Not just for himself either. Long-term financial success simply doesn’t work that way. In the real world, if you fail, you fail. Yes, Trump has failures, as does every long-term business person. His successes greatly outweigh his failures, though. In politics, unlike business, however, you can fail incessantly and just pass the buck by blaming the other side and then raise taxes to pay for your bad ideas. That is the real difference between business and politics.
Admittedly, my little diatribe is probably like trying to batter sense into a boulder. But hey, you’ve got to try.
As I said, you can lead a fool to water, but you can’t make them drink.
