Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Prize. Unfortunately, no category exists for his achievement. The Academy proffers awards only in Literature, Medicine, Peace and Physics. The time has come to add the Nobel Prize for Politics. Donald doesn’t merit this honor for anything as mundane as winning a nomination or an election, assuming either one happens. His accomplishment goes much deeper if neither one does. Trump has marched himself into the Washington DC gated community and blown it sky high. Like Caddyshack’s<\/em> Carl Spackler, aka, Bill Murray, Trump has the inhabitants scurrying madly, attempting to avoid the latest bomb. No other politician (he isn’t one)in anyone’s memory could pull off this achievement — finally exposing the underbelly of the GOP. For decades, the dumb peasants thought the GOP was an opposition force, battling courageously against the forces of Big Brother Government, against erosion of capitalism, against the creep of socialism, against stifling regulation, against suicidal spending, against crony capitalism and against pernicious taxation. For years, every GOP candidate pulled out the RNC playbook to recite the game plan and talking points and to promise action — if elected. Sorry to be profane, but it was, and is, bullshit. Without even trying, Trump has “pulled the mask off that old Lone Ranger”(thanks Jim Croce). The GOP and Democrat Parties are kissing cousins and perhaps more. Both couldn’t care less who becomes President as long as it isn’t Trump. They prefer Hillary — at the very least, she will keep the gravy train chugging, chugging right along. They could even tolerate the hated Cruz since he’s a member of the Club and does have political self interest and ambition. But Donald? He’s a wild card, a firebrand, a (gasp) reformer. He won’t dance the Washington Two-Step. He doesn’t need the influence peddlers. Get it? And the mask is also off other special interests. With Trump, The Media Elitists lose their precious leverage because all these self important commentators and pundits care about is celebrity status and consulting fees. The Establishment feeds them. He doesn’t like, fear or need them. Good for him. The majority of Evangelicals claim to covet conservative principles. Don’t look now but they’re out of the closet, too, with only one true goal — a theocracy — ironically like those they condemn who espouse Sharia. No group bashes Trump more than moralistic, virtuous Christians whose single issue is a religious litmus test. They close their eyes and listen to Ted — and easily imagine sitting in the front pew. Along came Trump, and out of the back alleys and other big city streets come professional Socialist Mobs whose ancestors rioted in 1930’s Berlin and dozens of other fascist countries across the globe. Recently, you saw them in Ferguson and Baltimore and on college campuses. Freedom haters never go away.\u00a0 Trump, a capitalist poster boy, is their five-star enemy. Foreign leaders also can’t seem to contain themselves. Could it be they worry Trump might visit the value of U.S. foreign aid? In 2017, one of two things will happen. America either regains Her Constitutional footing to achieve health and prosperity, or She submits to European style Socialism. It’s a clear choice. But, thanks to Trump, win or lose, the American people forever see the two-party Establishment for what it is — one party rule. And they will not be fooled again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
