In Democrats minds they\'ve done it before. They got rid of Richard Nixon and they rendered George W. Bush irrelevant. They think they can do it. The thing that they don\'t understand is Donald Trump is not Nixon, and he is not George W. Bush. And he is not a traditional politician affected by these kinds of assaults the way most politicians are.
You will agree that the Duke Lacrosse team raped and damaged or whatever, even though it didn\'t happen. You will be made to agree. You will understand that there is going to be amnesty and you will love it and you will stop speaking out against it. And until you do, you are in our crosshairs. It\'s who they are. That is the modern-day Democrat Party, and certainly that is the attitude of their major donors.
There isn\'t a sense of well-being and optimism about the nation\'s future, but that hasn\'t attached itself to the Democrats for some reason. They are not accountable. It certainly hasn\'t attached itself to Obamacare. That\'s why Hillary Clinton can run around and talk about the need to improve the economy. She ought to be dead politically on that score right there. She ought not be able to cite the economy at all as a positive. She ought not have any credibility at all on the economy.
We\'ve got communism. We have Bushism. We have Clintonism. But there isn\'t a Trumpism. Bullet-point for me what the Trump political philosophy is and you can\'t do it, because he\'s not a political guy.
You can\'t bullet-point Trump\'s political beliefs because he doesn\'t have them. He\'s got various things he wants, needs, wants to accomplish, based on circumstances at the moment, not based on a philosophy. Now, there\'s a foundation. The foundation for Donald Trump is \"Make America Great Again.\" It\'s the greatest place on earth and we\'re gonna build it back up and it\'s gonna be the greatest no matter what, compared to whoever, it\'s gonna be the greatest. So, I mean, you can say that. But that\'s not a political philosophy. That\'s an objective or a series of goals.
There isn\'t a specific Trump philosophy. That\'s why you\'re never gonna be able to pin Trump down on. He doesn\'t have a political philosophy like conservatism or liberalism or moderatism. He\'s just day-to-day whatever he wants and needs, he\'s got a behavior pattern and a process to get there, pure and simple.
The Electoral College is justified and right.
Liberalism is never gonna be that tiny or small.
In America, we do not have a democracy. It\'s not what we have. We have a representative republic and therefore the rules and regulations that have been written to maintain it are not truly democratic - not purely democratic - in origin. They are about protecting and defending the establishment of this republic.
The Constitution says Congress has complete control over who is and who is not a US citizen.
I\'m not opposed to reaching out Hispanics. I\'m all for reaching out to everybody! As Americans. Not as members of groups, and not treating people as though they\'re legitimate members of some grievance group, but reaching out to them as human beings.
To me there\'s nothing to get excited about with Hillary Clinton. I mean, maybe there\'s things to get excited about in terms of, scared of, opposition. But I don\'t think Hillary has this large army of devoted fans willing to go through fire for her.
Campaigns are conducted specifically because of the Electoral College, and people accept it and they understand it. Whether they know it or not, they accept it.
Tip O\'Neill, even after Ronald Reagan became president, called him \"an amiable dunce,\" which is what the Democrats always do.
Health care is in as bad a shape as it has ever been after eight years of Barack Obama and the Democrat Party running it and running the US economy. It\'s an absolute disaster. Other areas of the economy are a disaster. Economic growth? There isn\'t any. It\'s 1% per quarter, a 4% growth rate per year if we\'re lucky. There is no expansion. There is no productivity increase.
Look at the global warming issue. Why are the left so angry? They appear to be getting everything they want. The Pope\'s on their side. Big governments are on their side. The United Nations is on their side, but we aren\'t and they\'re lived. And who do they focus on? The deniers. And who are they trying to destroy? The deniers. They cannot tolerate. They will not tolerate. They cannot handle dissent. They don\'t want it.
The polling data in 1980 had Jimmy Carter nine points, winning by nine points, four or five days out. I will never forget that election night. In 1980 it was so bad for the Democrats - they got skunked so bad - Jimmy Carter conceded before 10 p.m. Eastern time.
I don\'t detect any animus or lack of caring from Donald Trump on anybody in business. Trump knows where most of the jobs are created in this country. I don\'t think there\'s any evidence that Trump is uninterested or has any kind of an animus against small businesspeople. I think it\'s just the opposite, in fact.
Democracies are not very stable.
I think things are imploding on the Democrats, and I actually think this is one of the reasons why the media is so desperate, because despite all the minutia and detail here, in the real world, the things the Democrat Party believes in are failing all over the world, not just here in the United States. The Obama administration was an economic disaster, was an economic failure. Liberalism, socialism around the world is imploding.
The Democrats are losing power in every election. And I think that\'s part of the panic. They want us to believe that the behavior and panic is rooted in an absolute outraged offense over this president that we have, this is just unacceptable and some maniac like Trump is so out of the ordinary, out of the norm, has to be stopped. I don\'t think that\'s what it is. I mean, it\'s part of it. But I think there\'s a much larger panic that is taking over the Democrat Party. And it\'s gonna implode on \'em.
The active Trump supporter is the Trumpster who can tell you exactly why. And if you tell the active Trump supporter that you don\'t, he will try to convince you to change your mind. That\'s an active Trump voter or supporter.
Ronald Reagan fought for America. He loved America. He feared where the left, based on history, wanted to take the country.
I think the arrogance of people who think or actually are in the establishment, think they\'re part of it or actually are, they cannot help themselves, apparently. They take this guy, Trump, who is not a politician, in the career sense, and they plug him into their system and analyze what he does and what he says the way they analyze professional politicians and what they say and do, and they miss it. Which is not news. The news is they\'re not even getting close to understanding it yet. Despite the never-ending efforts on the part of people like me to help them figure it out.
The Obama administration was filled with people that had deep resentment for people successful in the private sector, in business or what have you, with no way of understanding them or relating to them at all, and no desire to. Much of the Washington establishment, particularly the Democrat side of it, has the same view of American business and the private sector. And here comes Donald Trump entering their world, and they are not equipped to understand how he operates or what he\'s doing. They\'re plugging him and his business techniques into their political models, and it doesn\'t work.
The people are doing everything they can to stop Democrats! The problem is, the media is running the opposition, not the Democrats. You want to stop this? Stop the media. How do you stop the media? Turn \'em off, don\'t believe \'em, don\'t let \'em affect what you think and do. Beyond that, get creative.
I\'m not living under false delusions myself.
I think a lot of the energy that the media and the Democrats are bringing to this is rooted in a belief that they can get rid of Donald Trump. I really think that that\'s something they think they can do.
It\'s precisely because America is not a democracy that we have survived! It\'s precisely because majority rule does have checks and balances on it. It\'s precisely because this is a representative republic that we have survived.
This guy [Steven Lerner] is a pure anti-capitalist. He despises America. He is on a personal crusade.
