Ordinary members of the rank and file like you don’t have a clue about high stakes games. You might argue that simple survival is high stakes– making a living, battling illness, flushing life’s many demons. But these challenges are child’s play compared to the Presidential War. Don’t be confused. This Presidential primary is not a contest, a competition or a campaign. And it’s no crusade. It’s a Gang War. Nothing more. Nothing less. It won’t play out exactly like a Mario Puzo novel but the stakes are the same. The GOP organization will marshal all of its loyal soldiers to prevent an Outsider from snatching what they believe is rightfully theirs, just as Michael Corleone conspired to protect his family’s organized crime empire. The tactics may differ. Blood may not flow in restaurants, barber shops and city streets. But don’t underestimate for a second the coercion, threats, bullying and bribes that are hell bent to derail both Trump and Cruz. Inconceivably, should an Outsider become GOP Party Boss, the party’s over for lots of fat cats and loyal soldiers. Should an Outsider inconceivably win the election, both Republican and Democrat Establishments will fiercely denounce the outcome before entering the sniveling phase of their bereavement. Taken at their word, dozens of Entertainment celebrities will then flee the country — a promise, if fulfilled, would gratify millions of thankful citizens. Some will say Cruz is not an Outsider, a declaration based on fact. Despite being branded a “miserable SOB” by a former Party General, he does have certain Congressional alliances and rather robust donor obligations. However, to his credit, he picked an Outsider in Carly Fiorina. In one swift stroke, he placed a CEO and ferocious Hillary Assassin on his ticket, appealing to men and women alike. Meanwhile, Trump truly remains the sole trespasser — a political squatter, a party crasher, a rude, clumsy outlander. Pundits predict either candidate would lose big to Hillary and, in the process, leave Congress and the Supreme Court in control of the Nationalist Socialist Democrats for at least a generation. You have no choice but to agree with that outcome . . . unless . . . unless a dubious coalition falls into place: One, all Conservative ideologues and evangelicals who will put America before their pet issues. Two, all liberal and moderate Republicans — the Establishment — who will put America ahead of their spite and individual ambitions. Three, Democrats who consider themselves integral members of America’s Silent Majority. Four, a majority of American women who this time around will vote with their brains instead of their genitals. Five, a majority of Millennials who are smart enough to realize their future is down a rat hole under Socialism. And six, 30 per cent of African Americans who decide to wake up and escape the plantation in favor of a new birth of Freedom. Inconceivably, a documented criminal, a serial liar and thoroughly corrupt person would be President of the United States — if she’s not indicted for high crimes — or if a New Coalition fails to coalesce. The odds for the Outsider? Not at all good. Consider: Democrats elected Obama — twice. In doing so, American voters proved the definition of insanity. In 2012, millions of Conservatives refused to vote for Romney because he couldn’t measure up to their precious standards — proof that Democrats don’t have a monopoly on lunacy. Now your most recent pessimism rests on a visceral distrust of the political Washington Establishment. The people who occupy the Beltway have little, if any, interest in lofty ideals. Their interest in the American people is primarily influenced by their interest in reelection, not in some sort of heartfelt allegiance to some ethical code. The ultimate driver in politics is money. Not for one second doubt it. The Obamas will leave the WH with untold wealth — unearned wealth — for doing nothing of consequence. Hillary Clinton, unaccomplished, unproductive and ignoble, is wealthy for doing nothing of value during a lifetime of treachery. Congressman who live by special rules are set for life, by dancing the Washington Two-Step. If your leaders cared more for your country and its people than they do for their personal enrichment, America wouldn’t have a $21 trillion debt, wouldn’t have Obamacare, wouldn’t have an immigration crisis, wouldn’t have a bloated bureaucracy, wouldn’t have a corrupt Justice Department, wouldn’t have millions of citizens out of work and wouldn’t be buried under food stamps. Many millions of people finally are getting the message and beginning to understand that corruption is simply a money grab by the very people entrusted with the keys to the vault; and many millions believe only an Outsider can purge the contamination. Many millions. Without total unity, it won’t be enough.
