As we creep closer to the beginning of the general election….there has been a wealth of backstabbing and out right confrontations…..
The Left is reeling from the Sanders challenge to the fave of the Wall Street crowd and mainstream Dems, Clinton……but on the Right is where things have gotten damn right nuts.
Big tent Repubs are really pissed at the success that Trump has had and they are striking back with different attempts to keep him from the nomination….(good luck with that)……
Most of the Mainstream Right is doing what the RNC wants it to do…..oppose the candidacy of Trump…..most are acting like trained seals…..
I read a good analysis of this situation on the site Unz Review…….
These are unusual political times but especially bizarre is the treatment of Donald Trump in many of today’s “conservative” magazines. I have not read them all, but of the three I do follow—The National Review, The Weekly Standard and Commentary, the treatment of The Donald can only be described as totally one-sided, sky-is-falling hysterical. Not the slightest semblance of balance, not even a tiny “horrible but the best we can do.” Everything is just pure, unadulterated vitriol.
Hating Trump per se is not the issue here (disclosure: I support Trump); the point is the ubiquity of the two-minute hate, and if each of these countless rants were an autonomous event, the odds of this uniformity occurring naturally must exceed a billion to one. Clearly, more is involved than just unmitigated aversion.

How far will these trained baboons go to sabotage the Trump candidacy?
Will the voting public go along with this blatant act of sabotage?
Will they do as they are told?
Or is this just an exercise in futility?
Good eample is the frustrated loser Bill Kristol (estabishment GOP) who wants to have an independent run to derail Trump. He would be willing to let the liberals win and lose generations of Supreme Court decisions, just so Trump doesn’t win. The one who make me angry is Mitt Romney. He ran against Obama in 2012, with a faltering economy and couldn’t win. If loser Romeny had won. we wouldn’t even be discussing Trumo because Romney would be up for re-election. By the way, good post.
Thanx I am glad you liked it…..Kristol is such a whiny butt….
Lol
He’s carrying on like a rat about to jump ship and land on Clinton’s shoulder.
We have the same situation over here……..between the parties…and it’s leaders..and the 2minute hates…
I try to look at both sides…..I do not follow the news….
If the trolls in Russia as you have mentioned…..are ‘heavy’ I suspect it is because the USA is far too close to their borders….shame that the USA cannot contain themselves …if they could, I suspect the trolls might be out of a job….. I am very aware of the USA ‘spin’ much like the UK ‘spin’…stirring up ‘hate’ is just a tool to keep people in fear…
I did not undergo the ‘hiding under the table tactic’ as a consequence of the cold war…and as a result have not been conditioned by fear….
for your interest….

If I stick up for Russia/Putin it is because I see an unfair situation…..propagated by the USA/ EU/Nato and it’s allies….
Who has the biggest military complex in the world,let alone the biggest prison complex in the world?
An interesting post chuq…..
I have in the past been trolled……and I have also,recently, had a post sent to me from Florida that said that ‘Information Clearing House’ was Russian sponsored…I blocked the tweet and the blog as it looked rather like an affiliate of the CIA….
Who knows….
Finally, it is all just a sad reflection on the human condition…….I side with the ‘dubious one’ in regard to that….
I shall be very pleased when the EU referendum will be over….The only reason I am voting ‘out’ is to stick 2 fingers up to the USA..and their global footprint called the American Dream…
George Carlin to you.;)
ps..
I am soon to retire…….shepherding in the Orkney Islands….far from the madding crowd…
😉
Orkney? Is that not the North? Damn remote I hear…love the idea….
Idiots have always said that this group or that is Russian funded…..of course they do not offer any proof other than there words….to me it means they are running scared.
Insanity can only breed more insanity; as long as we keep playing their games, it will all continue to get crazier, right up to our ending, which isn’t that far off, in real time….
Gird your grids, ffolkes; it’s only going to get worse from here on….
I still say, if Trump wins the election, he won’t live to move into the WH….
gigoid, the dubious
I’m old…..I would love to see the aftermath of this election…..will I find a new faith in the voter? Probably not…LOL chuq
Yeah, I’d have a hard time covering that bet…. odds aren’t good. LOL!
gigoid
It would be satisfying after my radical days and the predictions that no one listened to…..chuq
