But I have a feeling that if enough money and political momentum can be marshaled against them, then that might do the trick. <br /><br />But we're up against the toughest of odds. All the big money, and even bigger money that used to be on the right, the Bill Kristols, the military, the neocons, the lobbyists, no matter what party they were with, they've now thrown in with her. <br /><br />So we'll need those on the right who understand their threat to get on board. Hell, we'll need anyone who wants to come aboard.<br /><br />Joining forces is fun, when it's for the right cause.

Let's assume for moment he is for real. <br /><br />Everyone is saying "nobody cares until after labor day" - which is wrong - I think plenty of people are paying attention - but ok. lets go with it.<br /><br />Trump needs to go sit quietly in a room with some good books and let Hugh Hewitt visit him once a day for a pop quiz. Relax. Relax. and Relax some more. Take that pre-labor day vacation. Trump looks exhausted and like his already limited speaking skillz are running on one brain cell. He needs to go away for a while. Run some great ads while he's gone. *where are his ads?* then come out and pretend he wants to win this thing. No more weirdness, no more sarcasm. yeah sure he can be Trump - but he needs to be Trump on fire. <br /><br />Beat Hillary, you old fool.Joe Biden, America's Putinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802605309593881825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-82520420405078153892016-08-13T22:31:32.141-04:002016-08-13T22:31:32.141-04:00I'd say you've got something there.I'd say you've got something there.edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-10260577582655625622016-08-13T22:03:39.622-04:002016-08-13T22:03:39.622-04:00Nah - it goes beyond just the media.

They were already limited with just two. So now it goes to the differences just between their personalities. Still not enough of a difference, for most people. Trump's crazy and Hillary's nasty. Or Trump's nasty and Hillary's crazy. Take your pick. And of course Trump can pick up the pieces of the traditional left with economic nationalism and a stance against just making our boys cannon fodder. It was a good flanking maneuver. He wanted to recover what he thought was rightfully Reagan's. <br /><br />But overall it still goes to the two parties (at least as the DNC stands in Hillary's hands) paid off by the same interests and not being able to differentiate enough. The people are resorting to sorting out their own coalitions. Cultural-political coalitions. We're working out our own arguments because the pols no longer even have ideologies - and they sure aren't being practical when it comes to America's long-term strategic interests. Not ideological, not practical - no use. The shifts you see are just the people working out their own fluctuations before the pols can put the lid on us. The people are coming together. The media just don't know it because all they care about is kissing ass; basking in the politicians' glory. But that glory's coming to an end.

The NYT has basically become an in-house propaganda arm organ for Hillary's DNC. We see it now. Those stories about intentionally colluding against Trump - it's transparent. NYT subscribers knew it as of this fall. Their comments sections were wild during the Democratic primary - still they didn't care. But the big media can't be taken on just as one thing. You can support independent media but they're easy for the MSM to ignore and marginalize. Support WikiLeaks, support anyone who can do credible damage to the DNC - and destroy their ridiculous operation that way. The media are a phantom ghost, but they're still just shadows. They will not be destroyed, but if you destroy their false idols in the DNC, then they can be embarrassed and marginalized that way. They have no substance, only shame. Make them go back to lurk in their hideouts.

Yes, she has momentum but she's not quite as articulate as Gary Johnson (but almost) - with whom I see enough convergence - and may not get enough momentum as him to cross the 15% threshold. Further, her progressive policies need to be better thought out or articulated if they're not going to be consigned to the ridicule that most government programs merit. <br /><br />But yes, I have much more respect for her than for most politicians this year esp. Hillary and would be happy to vote for her if her momentum challenges the Libertarians'. <br /><br />Now her own VP pick? I know nothing about that guy and probably would prefer to maintain my ignorance on him. The Libertarians did a great job in their Anderson Cooper interview and the both of them together have enough conventional experience and credentials to credibly challenge the system. <br /><br />But she does make a better dent on the MSM nonsense than they expect her to and for that I think she deserves my support.
