We are surrounded, totally utterly surrounded by glittering jewels of colossal ignorance and absurdity.&nbsp;It\u2019s breathtaking to behold all of this. No, I\u2019m not talking about Trump.&nbsp;I\u2019m talking about the lockstep that everybody in the media is in.&nbsp;It is stunning!&nbsp;They all might as well be robotic pods being programmed by somebody.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could go to Fox, CNN, PMSNBC. You could go anywhere and the reaction is identical. Is there not one human being in journalism today that has an independent thought about anything?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it weren\u2019t for the fact that she were married to Bill Clinton, nobody would know who Hillary Clinton is today. She wouldn\u2019t be anything. And by that I mean she\u2019s demonstrated nothing in her life that would overwhelmingly qualify her to be president.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump is trying to wrest control of the country and the government from an elite cabal of establishment types who are trying desperately to hold on to it with everything they\u2019ve got. It is a real fight. It is a real brawl. And Donald Trump got into it specifically knowing why and what he was doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary\u2019s answer on the Supreme Court question last night was absolutely disqualifying, if you ask me, since we\u2019re talking about who\u2019s qualified and who\u2019s not.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump\u2019s political instincts just are not there. He didn\u2019t realize what he had. It\u2019s not that he blew it, it\u2019s that, man, it could have been so much better and it could have been so much different. He had the chance to bury her last night by throwing her own words right back at her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary Clinton is wrong about practically everything she believes in. The woman is a walking policy disaster. We\u2019re not allowed to say so because she\u2019s a woman? Well, three cheers for feminism, then.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m telling you, this question about accepting the results, thank goodness he kept to his instincts on that because that\u2019s the reason he\u2019s running. That is the reason for his campaign wrapped up in one question and answer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I maintain to you, folks, that they are still paranoid and scared to death of Donald Trump in this campaign. This reaction that they\u2019re all having to this is so out of proportion to what he said. &nbsp;All he said was, &#8216;We\u2019re gonna wait and see.\u2019 It\u2019s a commonsense answer to a question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party does not want photo ID because it\u2019s one of the greatest techniques to eliminate voter fraud they\u2019ve devised, and they oppose it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who stands in the way of purging dead people from the voter rolls? The Democrat Party.&nbsp;Who is it that is, as we speak, finagling in certain American cities, looking for a way to register illegal aliens to vote? It\u2019s the Democrat Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump is running in opposition to everything establishment. He is opposing the rigged nature of the entire game, not just elections. The rigged nature of the economy, the rigged nature of this or that, he\u2019s standing up to the establishment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there not a single person in the Drive-By Media anywhere that hasn\u2019t figured out who Trump is, what he does, and why he does it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrats are the ones caterwauling and whining and moaning about rigged elections every day. WikiLeaks, the Russians, Mrs. Clinton at the debate last night, dumping on the Russians for what? Trying to rig the election.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Department of Justice just announced that they\u2019re gonna have a certain number of poll watchers on Election Day. Why? Why do we have to have election observers? If everything\u2019s on the up and up and if there isn\u2019t any cheating and if there isn\u2019t any fraud, why do we need to have election observers?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why in the world would Donald Trump or any Republican willingly throw away an opportunity to contest an election if evidence is forthcoming that\u2019s indicative that something is awry? Why would he throw that option away? Nobody with a brain would.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This country\u2019s not going in the right direction, and a majority of people believe that. Hillary Clinton\u2019s not seen as a solution to anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump, whose fingerprints are not on anything, is being treated as the single greatest destructive force that has ever threatened this country. Does anybody find that way, way, way out of proportion? I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These people trying to say that Trump promised to blow up the country if he loses.&nbsp;It\u2019s not at all what he said. All he\u2019s doing is reserving the right to call for an investigation if it looks like some cheating went on in a close election.&nbsp;Everybody understands that, and they purposely try to distort this. It\u2019s unseemly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would wager that everybody acting so outraged over this knows full well that Donald Trump was not promising to blow up this country if he loses the election. He was not saying that at all. And for these people to try to characterize what he said in that fashion, they\u2019re the ones that have explaining to do. Not Trump.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party, the Hillary Clinton campaign has been trying to make it look like Trump supporters are unhinged, out of control, violent maniacs by buying and paying a bunch of maniacs to go in and provoke otherwise peaceful Trump supporters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary Clinton is a nasty woman. Why are you not allowed to say that about her? Just \u2019cause she\u2019s a woman? What happened to feminism? I thought there weren\u2019t any differences in men and women. So nasty guy we can say it and nobody would care a whit. Nasty woman, you can\u2019t say that?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am tired of having artificial methods used to shut people up, to shut up legitimate opposition. We\u2019re talking about the presidency of the United States here. This is not president of the student council. We\u2019re talking about president of the United States. For crying out loud, there are going to be policy disagreements, and the fact that we\u2019re not allowed to say so because she happens to be a woman?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve never seen people looking so stressed and pressured in the midst of what we\u2019re all told is a landslide victory. And the polls all say it\u2019s gonna be landslide. Where\u2019s the happiness? If Trump screwed up so bad last night, why don\u2019t they laugh and celebrate? Why are they acting so offended?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I\u2019m Putin I gotta be having the time of my life. I\u2019m sitting there in the Kremlin smoking a cigar, having some vodka, and I\u2019m watching the American Democrat Party give me credit for screwing them up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For once these people are having to deal with the stuff they dish out and there are a lot of people celebrating that. There are a lot of people on Trump\u2019s side applauding that. It\u2019s worth it for that alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anybody in their right mind knows that Donald Trump was not promising a civil war. He was not promising to blow up the country. He was not promising to not accept the results if he lost. And these people know it, folks. The people stirring this up know full well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It\u2019s worse than I thought.
