At the declaration by Donald Trump that he is a candidate for the presidential nomination of the Republican Party, media elites of left and right reacted with amusement, anger and disgust.
Though he has been a hugely successful builder-businessman, far more successful than, say, Carly Fiorina, who has been received respectfully, our resident elites resolutely refuse to take Trump seriously.
They should. Not because he will be nominated, but because the Trump constituency will represent a vote of no confidence in the Beltway ruling class of politicians and press.
Votes for Trump will be votes to repudiate that class, whole and entire, and dump it onto the ash heap of history.
Votes for Trump will be votes to reject a regime run by Bushes and Clintons that plunged us into unnecessary wars, cannot secure our borders, and negotiates trade deals that produced the largest trade deficits known to man and gutted a manufacturing base that was once “the great arsenal of democracy” and envy of mankind.
A vote for Trump is a vote to say that both parties have failed America and none of the current crop of candidates offers real hope of a better future.
The first book in Arthur Schlesinger’s trilogy about FDR’s ascent to power was “The Crisis of the Old Order.” That title is relevant to our time. For there is today a crisis of the regime in America — a crisis of confidence, a crisis of competence, a crisis of legitimacy.
People are agitating for the overthrow of the old order and a new deal for America. For there is a palpable sense that the game is rigged against Middle America and for the benefit of insiders who grow rich and fat not by making things or building things, but by manipulating money.
Americans differentiate the wealth of a Henry Ford and a Bill Gates from that of the undeserving rich whose hedge fund fortunes can exceed the GDP of nations.
Trump says America is becoming a “dumping ground” for mass immigration from the failed states of the Third World, that Mexico is not “sending us her best and finest,” that China is stealing American jobs, that invading Iraq was a blunder.
Politically incorrect and socially insensitive certainly, but is he entirely wrong?
Was not the Iraq war a disaster for which our foreign policy priesthood and journalist-acolytes never paid the price that would be exacted in other societies were thousands of soldiers to die and tens of thousands to be wounded and maimed in so predictable a blunder?
Is it not true that among the millions of illegal immigrants who have broken into our country the great majority has illegitimacy rates, delinquency rates, dropout rates, drug use rates, crime rates, and incarceration rates far higher than those of native-born Americans?
Is Trump wrong on this, or simply wrong to bring it up?
Has not mass immigration brought to America old diseases we once stamped out and new diseases we had never heard of?
Do Americans not have the right to decide who shall come to our country, how many, and whence they shall come?
Is there no correlation between a decrepit Maoist China rising to become the greatest manufacturing power Asia has ever seen — and the $3 trillion to $4 trillion in trade deficits we have run with Beijing — and the disappearance of a third of all American manufacturing jobs?
Who negotiated those deals? Who paid a price for the misery they brought to Rust Belt America?
There are precedents in U.S. history for outsiders — Norman Thomas and Henry Wallace on the left, George Wallace and Ross Perot on the right — to enter the presidential lists. And across the pond a similar crisis of the old order is calling forth new people and new parties.
As in America, dominant parties like the Tories and Labour in Britain are losing loyalists to the “a-plague-on-both-your-houses” dissident parties.
Millions in Europe now want out of the EU. Old nations are coming apart. Leftist parties like Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain have arisen to defy Brussels and Berlin.
The Scottish National Party is of the left while the Independence Party in the U.K. is of the populist right. In Southeastern Europe, there have arisen parties of the extreme right.
This endless proliferation of parties, like the welcome being given to Trump, testifies to the new reality: Everywhere, including here, old parties are losing the people in whose name they presume to speak.
And the specter of Republicans, who just won an historic victory by promising to do battle against President Obama, colluding with Obama to surrender Congress’ right to amend trade treaties and sign on to a Trans- Pacific Partnership pact that looks like another transfer of jobs and factories to Asia, has re-enforced these sentiments.
If Trump wants to stake his claim as a different kind of Republican, he will go to Washington and pound the Boehner-McConnell Congress until it gives up on Obamatrade and fast track.

I'm starting to think you are to dumb to post here.
Stone - Is there a way for you to calm down? Pete is not an issue and you are taking his comments in a personal way. Meanwhile, you are escalating invective remarcks.
I just did. When I changed Petes status.
Why did you do that?
Because Pete is to stupid. Anyone that thinks Christ was a communist is a moron. Communism is a godless belief system. Anyone who thinks Bernie Sanders is to the right of anyhone is a moron. Anyone who supports faggots being forced on us is mentally ill. Anyone for abortion is a murderer at heart or stupid.
Communism is an economic system, Stone. The idea was to eliminate the bourgeoisie by complete destruction of their power and influence to make way for a more uniform economic distribution system for the masses. The way both Engels & Marx discussed the implementation of the economic theory was to violently overthrow any existing or established institutions, government, educational and religious institutions included. But, Pete makes a point as Christ attempted to equalize the masses, too. It could be said that Jesus was a Communist and in fact has been argued for about 150 years.
Hey, stupid... it's TOO, when used like that! Yes that could be said. If you are a moron.
It could be said that Sanders is the mirror image of Mitt Romney. Lots of reasons for that, as an example: since Romney implemented medical insurance in Massachusetts. So, I don't understand your hard-lined point. Pete does not suggest that at all. Pete does not suggest that at all.
If the concept has been argued for about 150 years, are all the people engaged in the discussion, "morons?"
Yes he does. All the time. 24/7 365.
Pete like all his leftists com-padres support the snuffing out of innocent kids. It's like he has no conscience.
medical insurance Sanders ideals on government cheese insurance is closest to SHITlary's platform. You might wanna study a little better. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Sneaky Pete will be reinstated after today. If he wants to post then he will be able to. Or he can say screw stone and sliver away.
I have known Pete since Freerepublick days (since 1998) and I have not seen his posts on this issue. Give a link where Pete has argued the point.
I want to point out that knowing Pete, he would take the stance that it is the Mother's responsibility for any decision, here. He wouldn't encourage or otherwise. Show a post where Pete advocated such an activity.
Don't worry about it, GrandIsland. You are about as close to a GOD-DAMNED COMMUNIST AS ANYONE, with all the freebie government plans you participate in for eating doughnuts and slurping koffee for twenty years.
Grand Island isn't a communist. Why do you say things you know aren't true? Why don't you try talking to Grand Island reasonably. Then he would do the same to you. You two share a lot of views. You're not as far apart as you make it seem.
I'm surprised at your age, you never learned the difference between a mutual fund and a payment supported by taxes. No wonder you KAN'T spell... lol Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
It goes beyond my pension. He knows NYS retirement system is one huge healthy MUTUAL fund supported by employee contributions... not taxes. Bucky's problem with me is his prejudiced hatred towards ANY police officer. He has a mental sickness, like Tea Party Reveler had.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
You lived on a government welfare check for twenty years doing absolutely nothing but slurpin' koffee & dunkin' doughnuts. Your contributions (if any) into any program came from that same government welfare system paycheck. Taxpayers paid for your benefits while you did nothing for society at large.
A K A Stone: Yes that could be said. If you are a moron. Then tell us how the dogma of any Christian church absolutely rules overs our personal lives in a loving way. As you know, throughout history, the rules for disobedience to the church are personal suffering, excommunication and sometymes death. Explain away, pal.
You milked the government system for all you could get out of it. You based your cunning on doing nothing while reaping a modicum of benefits. You did not work in the private sector creating new products or services. You worked in a government office being directed to use violent FORCE against Americans; admittedly, there might be a few exceptions through a twenty year career wearing peelin' potatoes, but I doubt it. You stole from the taxpayers. Cheer up. If you want a method to contribute towards America, simply give all the money you stole back to the US treasury and other government affiliates. You will feel clean afterwards.
You are nothin' more than the potatoe peeler your infamous monicker refers to: tater. Fuck off. I saw and captured the contents of your edited post. You don't know nada, pal.
So, you’ve been living “high on the hog” off taxpayers money for many years….eh, Bucky?
The Land o' Milk and Honey is the truth. It doesn't get better than this.
I once read a proverb about people who live in glass houses, how does that go...
How dare you insult GrandIsland by calling him a COMMUNIST? As anyone here familiar with his posts can see, he's not one. A more accurate description would be "police state fascist". beats me, potatoe peeler .. please recite it.
I understand. I was giving GrandIsland the benefit of the doubt, however. Sometymes I make mistakes in relative perception about the trash around here.
Paraphrased, it says that if you are working for a company that has been receiving taxpayer funded government contracts for years, then you should not criticize. Have you been working for a company that was receiving taxpayer funded government contacts from which they paid your salary?
You keep up your childish moderating (s)kills, and I will call you on it. You're the one out of line here, pebbles.
Don't give me any shit, tater. This is DPAS rating stuff you are describing. Go fuck yourself.
You didn't answer the question, I will repeat it: Have you been working for a company that was receiving taxpayer funded government contacts from which they paid your salary?
Do you understand that when a privately owned and managed corporation receives a mandated requirement by Congressional Act, that we are subject to the torment of DPAS? This same requirement is true for all sub-tier suppliers for materials, methods and means that we choose. It is stressful, too. You are just a totally screwed potatoe peeler not realizing that your lofty US government does to all of us. And you can place a winning bet: I shall make a buck.
You didn't answer the question, I will repeat it: Have you been working for a company that was receiving taxpayer funded government contacts from which they paid your salary?
And I take all the risk for DPAS rated contracts while you little POS peel potatoes and reap HUGE benefits. Go fuck yourself, pal.
