Ron Paul did start a revolution, didn't he.

No amount of Establishment backing and big money, is helping this time around.



As congress goes, so does the candidates to run for the highest office.
Looks like Conservatives, have had enough of the Establishment taking over the show. Bush, McCain, Romney, progressive socialist types, need not apply this time around.

Ron Paul was just the head of the recreational drug pushers mostly. Don't give him that much credit.

But yes, because Republicans ran on things they never did after elected it has come time for Republicans in the establishment to lose it all and be replaced for sure.

Democrat progressives who are socialists need to just die out as a party.
Trouble with them is when you are paying people to vote for you it is easier to buy the vote with slackers than it is to get votes for fiscal conservatism for the good of the country.

No shame and lots of ego these days in our society. Not a change for the better.

I definitely agree that the establishment isn't aligned with Trump. In fact, from the start, they publicly attacked Trump and distanced themselves from him. Now look how he's doing. Republican Party is in the throws of change.

I don't know what's more bizarre...

The republicans losing control and having Trump in the lead....

Or the democrats shoving the most corporate, wall-street, off-shoring insider the could find down the throats of their base.

You can rename the Republicans the "New Jesusland Tea Partiers"

The Democrats to Republicans and create a new progressive party where the Democrats used to be.

It's a sign of the times, and the political class wheels coming off. They've spent three decades shoring up their own wealth, through scalping the middle class and exploiting the lower class, and now people have had enough.

Time to bring back the servant part of public service.

Voters may as well get used to the idea that if they elect she, Trump, or Rubio we will be going to war, sooner than later. Less chance with Cruz, even less chance with Paul or Johnson, and I have no clue what Carson will do because he's all over the place.

I can't even find the planet you're on through the JWST!

All you need do is call Obama a conservative to complete the trifecta.

You can rename the Democratic party the "You Can Go To Hell Middle Class Party" since they only care about their rich buddies and those wanting handouts.
