The only thing flying higher than the economy is Trump’s MAGA Army. And, as predicted, the members of that Army are soaring like eagles thanks to the impeachment three-ring circus. They are thrilled because they give credit to “Pencil-Neck” for assuring Trump’s reelection in ’20. What’s more, the smart money is all-in with The Donald. Just as the smart money behaved in 2016. Oops, back up. Come to think of it, that was the year the smart money anointed a career criminal to win in a landslide and instead slid down the drain with her. So, if you believe DT has 2020 locked up, you haven’t paid attention. Your First mistake is thinking that the majority of voters are well informed. Your Second mistake is not realizing the naked truth — that when someone is charged with wrongdoing, the majority of people always believe that very someone is guilty. Ask Brett Kavanaugh or George Zimmerman. It’s a reality called “the court of public opinion.” Put another way, “where there’s smoke, there must be fire.” Put more frightfully, it’s called lynch mob rule. Your Third mistake is believing that Democrats really think impeachment can run the Trumps out of town before 2021. No, they don’t believe that for a second. Impeachment is dedicated to one simple goal: put just enough doubt in the mind of the average bewildered voter. Your Fourth mistake is believing this strategy can’t work because the average bewildered voter is overjoyed with Dow Jones, the S&P 500 Index and trickle down economics. Your Fifth mistake is assuming that a booming economy means a growing majority of Americans really want to see Trump reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government — to drain the polluted swamp. You really think so? A news report of a recent Gallup poll might raise your eyebrows a skosh:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ reaction to the term “socialism” remains more negative than positive in new Gallup polling . . . At the same time, Americans are expressing . . . greater support for activist government across a range of measures, suggesting a more conducive climate for socialist-style policies taking root than has been the case in recent years. Since 2010, the percentage of Americans saying government should do more to solve the country’s problems has increased 11 percentage points, to 47%, and the percentage wanting government to take active steps to improve people’s lives is up eight points, to 42%. Gallup also finds a nine-point increase — to 25% — in the percentage who would prefer to have more government services and higher taxes rather than the alternatives of less government services and less taxes . . .

Typical of any “news” report, and typical of “polling,” the contradictions confuse everyone and satisfy no one. Concluding that Americans don’t like the term “socialism” means absolutely nothing, because most Americans would never admit to approval of socialism. It’s un-American. Well, poppycock. The statistics tell a different story — the poll says the people do approve of an increase in socialist policies to “solve the country’s problems . . . to improve people’s lives . . .” What does that language tell you, Matilda? Please try to grasp it: if you want an increase in “socialist-style” policies, that’s the $#?/&!# definition of Socialism. That’s your Sixth mistake — thinking that the Gallup Poll is some kind of scoop. America is already way past halfway to outright Socialism. Your Federal Government, even with Trump at the helm, runs your Healthcare system. The DOE runs your Education system. The Federal Reserve runs the Financial system. Every business in America operates under strict Federal regulation. Fifty-one — count ’em — major agencies exercise absolute power over energy, transportation, housing, welfare, labor, environment and every other aspect of commercial and personal life. Deny it all you like. There is a deep, Deep State. The inevitable final step toward institutional Socialism will be the nationalization of Energy, Healthcare, Transportation, Education and other critical enterprises. Some would say Media already is “State-owned.” Very soon, a Socialist demagogue will step to the stage and suggest ever so sincerely, so logically, that no private company should have authority and control over life’s basic necessities. Millions will nod in agreement. Then, when the Federal Government controls education, healthcare and electric power, you can kiss your free ass goodbye. And just in case you have a spark of delusional optimism that four more years of The Donald’s robust economy will drain the swamp and wipe out $24 trillion of debt, consider this statistic — spending under the Trump administration is eclipsing the master of all spending — one Barack Hussein Obama. Finally, like a deadly sin, your Seventh mistake is believing that Republican Party officials — those elected and those appointed — will lock arms, mobilize and march in unison to lift up one Donald John Trump to his 2nd term. What nonsense. You must remember — the GOP establishment is part and parcel of the Deep State, along with their cousins on the Left. The GOP is King George, 243 years removed. DT is the blacksmith, the farmer, the brash, uncultured rube who dares spit in his eye. The GOP doesn’t want him. Never wanted him. Wants him to go away. Prissy loser Mitt Romney is one who doesn’t hide his aversion. Except for DT’s small group of loyal congressional soldiers, the GOP wears the mask of toleration and the NRC is in frenzy mode, using Trump for the party war chest. Use him and lose him, they think secretly. Once again, 2020 is up to the rabble — the hayseeds, hicks, blue collars — the ordinary people Hillary called “deplorable.” Make no mistake. Despite appearances, Trump lives out on a limb.
