For years the political establishment was like playing the game of chess and they were quite good at it. They had the money from the Political Action Committees, Wall Street, and the propaganda mill donated by the Media. Their electorate was contained and bowed to their will at call. Their strategies were really good and for every move, there was a counter move. The Elite could skirt the Rules at any time or completely disregard the Laws at will. The laws that they generated was never top of the line, they wanted an out at every corner. If you are elected to Congress, you are on the fast track to be part of the rich and powerful elite.
When it came time for re-election, you could almost have a free pass in the primary but if someone came out of left field to challenge your position, you would have a laugh. For an outsider or a complete unknown to step into the ring, the odds were stacked against him or her. It is amazing how easy it is to speak up and toss your hat into the political ring but once you are there you have to get the backing from some money source and galvanise the electorate. The Founders of our country wanted the elected leaders to be people who did well enough in their occupation or companies to want to set it aside for a term and step up help run a country, then return to their life knowing that they helped the country with their service. But over time, the only ones being elected where people who knew how to gather money and prestige without actually doing nothing or being at the top of their profession.
Now, along comes a person that is a successful business person which helped him accrue some great wealth and after looking around, throws his hat into the ring. This person is not some nobody. The people have heard about him. He is out-spoken. He doesn’t fall into the category of the established political realm or a Media darling. He speaks to the common people like he is at a family dinner table and what he says hits home. He does not use the Media to filter his message, he speaks over them. He is playing checkers with the common folks.
The political elite on both sides have been playing their game for ages and now this person has come along and worse than the running of the bulls, he is upsetting their apple cart. He forces everyone to follow the laws of the land that the elite have spent little time reading over before passing. He finds the loopholes that will make them scream. They have had years and many options to fix these laws and didn’t.
Now you look at all the campaign promises that was made, you will find that he has bucked the establishment at ever turn. He is following the laws enacted by the establishment and the previous administrations. He has asked and at times, demanded that both parties involved, step up and fix the problems that they both have made. They both have denied him. When will they see the error of their ways? Both sides of the Establishment think that their spines have been reinforced with iron, that it is their way of doing things, and they can outlast him. They do not think that the laws that they made need to be changed. They wrote them to keep the money pouring into their pockets. They wrote them to keep their supporters in the electorate docile and wanting the free things that others have worked for.
The common electorate on both the republican and democratic sides, as well as all the other fringe parties are starting to sit up and take notice. Those that vote really do have the right and duty to take the blinders off. The electorate does have the ability to soften iron or break it. They may not leave the center base of their parties but in the General Election, a person does not have to vote the party line. Hopefully they will vote for real leaders, not like the scum that conned their way to leadership.
