USA –  -(Ammoland.com)- Donald Trump’s mortal enemies in mainstream politics and media have shifted strategy. In the ramp-up to the Iowa, February 1, Caucasus, the culprits have been pushing presidential hopefuls Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio onto a defiant Republican base.

The Cartel has taken to discussing Trump as a nightmare from which they’ll soon awaken. Candidate Trump’s energetic, politically pertinent speeches, and near daily rallies—packed to the rafters with supporters—are covered by media only to condemn this or the other colorful altercation. Ted Cruz, we‘re being lectured, is poised to topple Trump in Iowa.

But what do you know? On the eve of January 12 2016, as if in recoil to the concentrated toxicity of Barack Obama’s last State of Disunion address, featuring the divisive Nikki Haley in the GOP’s corner, Trump punched through the lattice of lies. The media-political-complex was caught trousers down again. National polls have Trump at 36 percent, Reuters at 39 percent. A CBS/NYT poll placed him 17 points ahead of Ted Cruz, his closest rival. In Iowa, Trump leads Cruz 28 to 26 percent.

The central conceit that currently defines media’s self-serving surmises is that the Trump Revolution is confined to the Right and is thus self-limiting.

While the Right is always more courageous in bucking sclerotic authority, the Trump Revolution isn’t exclusively Republican or rightist.

I get the distinct impression that this Revolution encompasses Left and Right; Democrats, Republicans and Independents. As The Atlantic magazine cautioned, the polls are underestimating Trump’s support. The slow kids of media have yet to discover the methodological flaws inherent in survey methodology. Subjects are more likely to reply truthfully in anonymous, online surveys than in face-to-face or telephonic questionnaires. As if to confirm that Trumpites are coming out of the closet, a January 13, YouGov.com poll, courtesy of the Washington Examiner, catapulted Mr. Trump to near 50 percent.

Something else has made the special-needs media boil with bile: It’s the role of America’s much-maligned, white majority—65 percent and rapidly declining—in Trump’s meteoric ascent.

Trump’s supporters are disenfranchised whites, left, right and center (or in an ideological no-man’s land). The silent majority that dare not speak its name—other than to flagellate for collective sins and perceived privilege—is still the largest demographic bloc in the US.

Working class whites, in particular, have been led down a political cul-de-sac.

Omitted at last year’s November 10, Fox Business, presidential debate were two loudly whispered secrets. The one was Marco Rubio’s expensing the Republican Party for personal spending. The other: Terrifying data that a large segment of white America was … dying. …

… Read the rest. “Trump’s Invisible, Poor White Army” is the current column, now on WND.

People ought to be aware that regardless of what Trump says now he has been on every side of every position at one time or another. I like consistency in a candidate and a record to back it up. Remember Obama? If Trump wins what will you say in 2017 if he turns out to be the same as Obama? All great sounds and then does whatever he wishes.

Be careful folks. I’d like to hear one issue where Trump has been consistent on for the past ten years.

It is amazing to me that the author knows so many big words and supports Mr. Trump. The author sounds like a boot stomping manifesto puppet. Or one could say Gestapo or Communist publicist. For the sake of country, vote for any body but Trump. He is an egomaniac that cares only about himself and is laughing at his supporters.

Blah, blah, blah. Talk and wishful thinking doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. You folks need to get out there, with as many people as you can, and VOTE !!! That will also be the time to watch out for the dishonest and criminal cheaters that will show up at the booths and behind the scenes. Remember, if they can’t have their way (Demo-libs), they will stoop to anything.

It’s damn sure about time Whites explode and ‘take it back’ !

No, I would not say poor whites, but all whites. He’s going to blow away all competition no matter what the media or left says. We have had enough!!!

@Douglas A. Venters, first and foremost, thank you for your service, you enlisted in some very bad times, and its great you made it back in one piece. A lot of my high school friends had to go, and some never made it back, and some that did, seemed like they were another person, or still in shock from what they saw there, but I just have to say, everything that you wrote is 100% true, and there are a lot of Americans that feel that exact way. They are so totally fed up with lying, cheating presidents, and politicians,… Read more »

America does not need another politician, it needs a CEO.

Someone who can straighten out her financial house, bring industry back, stop the unjust discrimination against the people who are the backbone of the country, knock off the feel-good politics and get the outrageous spending under control.

Maybe someone who actually has a clue as to how to run a multi-billion dollar corporation and isn’t afraid to make tough decisions.

Is eight years long enough? Can it even be saved? God bless America.

Tell it like it is Eric! Always. I can remember when in this country, people used to speak up. Just about everybody I knew was like Glen Beck. Now, nobody says a damn thing. Now, it’s ok to be stupid. I can remember too, when you could drive without your headlights on. Back then, people could SEE you. Now, even in the daytime with your headlights on (not daytime running lights), people will pull out right in front of you (sometimes while even looking straight at you), without giving it the gas. When they do this, I drive with my… Read more »

Yes poor whites because we have been taxed to death for single moms, dope smoking food stamp recipients, Robbed by mortgage companies that artificially raised rates and created the 2008 housing market scandal. The government has taken billions yet mortgage holders never get reimbursed. Allowing tax deductions for more kids , making a single mans income effective rate higher, discriminating against him. Making us pay for a lifetime of school tax for 13 years of education. Failing to enforce the drug and banking laws of this country.. Blaming law abiding firearm owners for the criminal acts of a few.
