Wayne Allyn Root article on why they fear Trump

This is not an endorsement of the Donald. It's a good must read. Explains one view as to why he is shaking things up. Here’s why Obama and Hillary must stop Donald Trump at all costs.

Hi. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few. And I know why.

I wrote a book titled “The Murder of the Middle Class” about the unholy conspiracy between big government, big business and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all and all for one.

It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich — everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies.

But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. I’ve never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated or this coordinated. Never in all my years in politics have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

When white supremacist David Dukes ran for governor of Louisiana, even he wasn’t treated with this kind of outrage, vitriol and disrespect. When a known fraud, scam artist and tax cheat like Al Sharpton ran for president, I never saw anything remotely close to this. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened like never before.

Why? Duke was never going to win. Sharpton was never going to win. Ron Paul was never going to win. Ross Perot was never going to win as a third-party candidate. Those candidates either didn’t have or couldn’t spare the billion dollars it takes to win the presidency. But Donald Trump can self-fund that amount tomorrow and still have another billion left over to pour into the last two-week stretch run before Election Day.

No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. No, this is a coordinated conspiracy led by President Barack Obama himself. Obama himself is making the phone calls and giving the orders; he’s the ultimate intimidator who plays by the rules of Chicago thug politics.

Why is this so important to Obama? It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the “old boys club.” They talk big, but in the end they won’t change a thing. Why? They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations and multinational corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary with their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there’s one man — and only one man — who isn’t beholden to anyone. There’s one man who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teachers union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the bar association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

Well, first, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. Trust me: The NSA, the SEC, the IRS and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They know everything.

Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called “racists.” So they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.



Fourth, why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a “good boy,” you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides — but not Trump.

Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.

Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; questioning why the border is wide open; questioning why no wall has been built across the border; questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are not deported; and questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question.

I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. He will ask if Obama himself committed fraud when he said, “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.”

Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.

How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop this. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant.

Trump’s election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at “the cooked books” and Obama’s records, the game is over. The gig is up. The goose is cooked.

Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of custome

Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails, or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while secretary of state, or for “misplacing”$6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi

The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be defunded and dismantled. The Obama crime family will be prosecuted for crimes against the American people. And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.

Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved — just for fun. That will all happen on Trump’s first day in the White House.

Who knows what Trump will do on Day 2? That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week. God bless America.

How does he know what trump will do on his first day? even trump can be bought. he didn't get filty rich by seeking enough money. he wants it all, just as many other lovers of gold. yes, he could do or try to do many good things for this country. but all we have to go on is his record and his record isn't so good. are we being foolish, even blind to the truth and reality when i comes to trump. look at what this country did by electing, twice, obama. any country stupid enough to elect him twice must do some serious soul searching before selecting our future.
i'm still set on ted cruz.

Donald Trump stated today that he would consider running as an independent, so if the Republican Party don't make him the candidate he will pull a Ross Perot and split the conservative vote and give Hillary the election? How many on here think he would do that?

Right now today Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary, he is a Socialist running as a Democrat. Calls himself an Independent in congress.. Many on the left say Hillary isn't liberal enough.

Trump is gonna give the election to Hillary. I honestly think they're working together. If he doesn't get the republican nomination he'll run independent and split the vote. If he's nominated he'll throw the election. It's almost a no win for republicans.

We are being Trumped

I will give my opinion of what Trump is doing.

He has been a long time supporter of the Clintons. With that being said he is coming out hammering on all issues that the american people have issues with and jumping up and down on all partys including the Republicans.
He is doing this so he will not get the Republican nomination, stating that he can and will run as an independant. This is exactly what he wants. This will split the votes betweeen him and the republican party and giving the Presidential election to Hilary.

Make no mistake about it. This is his plan from the beginning.
Trump is not about anything other than putting another Clinton in the office.

Trump is saying what the majority of the conservative Americans would love too say, but feel they can't and stay politically correct. Is he electable? I seriously doubt it myself, but that is just an opinion. Yes, it would be very nice to see a leader in the white house again, one that speaks and the world listens. I don't care what name is on the desk, as long as respect and due place in the world order is restored to our nation. Can Hillary do that? He** NO! The world will not respect, or listen to an old beat down hippy. Would she be strong? We have already had the chance to see her in action, and that is no action. A vote for her is the vote of a coward and one that signals to ISIS and the rest of our enemies to do as they wish.

We need to take a long look in the mirror when we cast our votes this time, and ask one simple question: Is this what I want for my children and grandchildren to have to deal with? We need and deserve a strong and safe America, and leader who will keep her that way. Think before you vote, and vote for the best strong minded and America Loving candidate.

A write in vote or not voting is like voting FOR the worst candidate or the one you just don't want in office period. You are only helping their cause by not voting, and making their vote count numbers look all the better. ONE LESS AGAINST THEM.

Not sure if you understand how a president is elected. The popular vote does not matter for anything other than an elector to use as a measuring stick as to the wishes of his or her constituency. An elector is not bound by any law that they must abide by the popular vote, unless you are from the great state of Nebraska, or that other state Maine, where your electors are divided up according to the popular vote of congressional districts, and the last two given to the winner of the popular vote.

Most states vote for a group of electors in a primary. These electors do not campaign or are selected by ballot, but rather are nominated by their own parties.

So let's suppose you are a Republican from California, how much does your vote matter? Now look at the voting statistics from blue states over the last 50 years, and tell me if the popular vote actually provides a good representation of the populous.

Each state holds the right to decide how their electoral votes are cast, if you want your presidential vote to matter, then all 50 states need to change their constitutions, and do something different with the 3 electors given to the District of Columbia.
