Nowhere close. There is panic not just in the Democrat Party, folks. There\u2019s panic at the upper levels of what we now call the ruling class or the establishment or the elites.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The election was supposed to be over months ago. But certainly this week it was not supposed to be in question. Hillary should have been&#8230; They\u2019re already planning inaugural balls and all the other trappings that go with victory. This is not where they wanted to be, and with the possibility Trump could win, they are in abject panic. And it\u2019s being demonstrated on TV.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve reached a crossroads here. I mean, in the 29 or 28 years I\u2019ve been doing this, I\u2019ve had massive attitudinal shifts about government and about people in it and about how the country works. I used to have a misguided perception.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re in a battle with people who don\u2019t care what kind of country this is because they\u2019ve got it made already. &nbsp;They\u2019ve got it jacked. &nbsp;They\u2019ve arranged things so that they benefit no matter what happens &#8216;out there,\u2019 and by that I mean in the rest of the country.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have noted on several occasions what\u2019s at stake here. &nbsp;The establishment, who they are, why they will do anything to hold onto power.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obamacare premiums are of no concern to people in the establishment. &nbsp;Same thing with illegal immigration, same thing with trade deals.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This group of establishment types, the elites, it\u2019s an incestuous group, it\u2019s a small group, everybody knows everybody. They go from media to Congress to legislative aide back to media, to think tank, to lobbyist. &nbsp;They change jobs and they change roles but their objectives are all the same.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To me, the world is the next eight days. &nbsp;I don\u2019t care about 15 days from now. &nbsp;The world is the next eight days, and we got people in the next eight days who apparently are okay with Hillary Clinton winning, people on our side who are apparently okay with Hillary Clinton winning. &nbsp;I don\u2019t care the reasoning. &nbsp;I don\u2019t understand it.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Isn\u2019t it interesting, I\u2019m supporting the party nominee and I\u2019m the bad guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I happen to get the sense &#8212; I\u2019m pretty confident that I know this &#8212; that the vast majority of you firmly believe that the country\u2019s on the wrong path and has been for a long time largely because of Democrats and establishment types, and you want them stopped.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don\u2019t want Hillary elected because you don\u2019t want a continuation of the last eight years.&nbsp; You want the Democrats out of power.&nbsp; You think the Democrats\u2019 priorities are not the best to maintain this country as founded, so you don\u2019t want Hillary elected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;John Kasich does not think that it\u2019s important to defeat Hillary Clinton. Since he\u2019s the governor of Ohio, he has the mechanisms to get ground game activity going to facilitate the Republican nominee. f he wanted to, he could do a lot to help Trump in Ohio. Instead, he is choosing not to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s really hard to separate your desire, your prejudicial desire from static analysis of what\u2019s actually happening. But I can just tell you that where we are right now is not where anybody of expert status anywhere thought we would be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people of this country have gotten a sense that this is not how the country is run, that it\u2019s not fair, that there\u2019s not a level playing field, that certain people get certain advantage that others don\u2019t in the justice system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You use the tax law as it\u2019s written, and if it results in you not paying any taxes, there hasn\u2019t been any loophole, and there\u2019s nothing dubious. You\u2019re following the law. Legally means follow the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Victor Davis Hanson back with a brilliant piece about the Clintons and who they are and what motives \u2019em. It\u2019s at National Review Online, and I just love it because it essentially, in his own words, makes points that I have been trying to make about the Clintons since I first became aware of them in 1990. There\u2019s another piece, and this also is a piece right after my heart. It\u2019s by somebody named Thomas Frank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Hillary Clinton hadn\u2019t thought that laws don\u2019t apply to her, if she had not believed that she was above the law and traditions that everyday people have to follow, she wouldn\u2019t be in this mess. She\u2019s in this mess because of what she did. She is in this mess because of who she and her husband are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The New York Times has come out with a piece last night that says definitively there is no Donald Trump link to Russia. Now, they put it on page 21 so that New York Times readers on the Upper West Side won\u2019t see it and have their days ruined, but they still run it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How are you gonna feel if Wednesday or Thursday Loretta Lynch bops out or Comey bops out with another appearance and says they have wrapped up the investigation and they found nothing? How are you gonna feel?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The objective of the people who bring impeachment charges, if the Republicans do this on Trump, the objective will be to get one of them back in the power structure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s all about the political class, run by Democrats with Republicans just hoping they can be one of their little pets.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;This is not where the establishment thought they\u2019d be one week away from the election.
