The Trump Phenomona

By Jeff Simpson

Like most big organizations, sometimes someone can come in and take control and sink it before you can stop it.   We are watching that happen to the Republican party right now.   In this Presidential election cycle, we have seen numerous front runners, 17 people total and one of the all time "strangest" election phenomenons ever in Donald Trump.  

People, especially people in the party, thought that Trump running for President was just a way to feed his ego and he would get bored eventually and go back to his life and start working on his fourth wife.   Then something happened, Mr. Trump rose in the polls and started winning primaries handily.  
While Donald Trump has done many outrageous, misogynistic and racist things, the GOP is panicking because he is winning and he is NOT part of the establishment!!  

That scares everyone involved.  If Donald Trump were to actually win the election(forgetting the pure devastation to our Country), but in the Republican party the people who are used to running the show would not be invited to the table.   That is unacceptable for the Michael Grebe's, Sheldon Adelsons, Karl Roves, Koch Brother of the party.  They know that they give enough money to the pure ambition politicians like Scott Walker/Ted Cruz, that they will do whatever they are told.  Donald Trump wont take orders and then brag about openly defying party directives.   Reince and the boys are scared.

When they get scared or things get out of hand, they have a plan.   They use Frank Luntzs focus tested lines and hand them out to their minions and give their right wing media echo chamber marching orders.

The GOP plan to try and take Trump down, is blame everyone on the liberals(I know they do this with everything, I never claimed they were genius).   For example is Grebe's gopher, Christian Schneider.

But Republicans are likely getting a little push on their road to obsolescence. There's evidence Democrats may be showing up to vote for Trump, which would significantly loosen up the ballot box for Clinton in November. If you're a Democrat who likes both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, you can pick one, or, in states with open primaries, you can cross over and vote for a Republican who will guarantee the election of either Democrat. It's not that hard of a choice.
This is perhaps why turnout records are being broken in state after state that is holding Republican primaries — because non-Republicans are showing up to stuff the ballot box for Trump. On March 1, Alabama, Oklahoma, Vermont, Virginia, Massachusetts, Georgia and Tennessee saw an astonishing 52% increase in turnout over 2008. At the same time, voters in Democratic primaries in those states dropped by 20% in the same time. Where are all those Democrat voters going? I have a guess.

  The problem with his theory(beyond being ridiculous as usual) is events like this happen regularly at  Donald Trump rallies.

Nothing says a room Is full of liberals, like a bunch of white men shoving and spitting at a young black woman.   Fortunately, there ARE people in media who actually do some research and to whom facts actually matter.  

Shaun King was rightfully upset about this video and did some research on who was doing the shoving.

No surprise what he found out!  

On Tuesday, in Louisville, Ky., what happened to young black protesters at another Trump rally wasn’t just racist — it appears to be outright criminal.

While we have already widely reported that white supremacists are openly proclaiming that they are fully emboldened and energized by Trump, the natural progression of their romance with Trump is now on full display.

We now know that those Trump supporters are open bigots, Neo-Nazis, and white supremacists belonging to many different groups including the Traditionalist Worker Party — a well-documented hate group. Their social media profiles are full of Nazi photos, KKK and white supremacist references, and some of the most insulting, despicable hate speech you'll ever see.

"I was called a n----- and a c--t and got kicked out," said Shiya Nwanguma, a respected student at the University of Louisville to a local interviewerin a video posted on Facebook.

"They were pushing and shoving at me, cursing at me, yelling at me, called me every name in the book. They were disgusting and dangerous."

What a group of intelligent nice men.  Does anyone anywhere think these guys would be voting for Bernie???  

I guess anything they can do without taking actual responsibility for the Monster they have created.  

It is impossible to fix a problem when you can not recognize it!  

Since Christian Schneider is propagandist who is not real interested in research or facts, I feel the need to help the poor guy out!

Hey Christian lets compare and contrast a GOP/Democrat rally!

Here is the GOP:

Here is a Democratic rally:

I know they are not the brightest bulbs on the tree, but I always find it hilarious when "Tea Party Patriots" whine about people protesting.   The irony is too thick!  




PS: ICYMI, it is not just the Donald that thinks its cool to have his supporters beat up protesters!

America - We HAVE to do better!!!  

Milwaukee Gets Short End On Protests Too

As any Milwaukeean will testify, Milwaukee has always been treated like the unwanted stepchild by the rest of the state.  When we were fighting Walker, we were on our own and got no help from the rest of the state.  When it comes to money disbursement, Milwaukee never got as much as we gave.  The best of anything usually went to Madison where the politicians were, then other parts of the state got their share and Milwaukee was lucky to get the scraps.

Now we're getting the short end of the stick in regards to protests.

In Madison, there were hundreds of thousands of people gathering together in a common cause - to protest the outrageous power grab from the radical Republicans as well as the assault on working families across the state.  They came together to demand that those in charge treat Wisconsinites with respect and in a fair manner. People became close friends, as tight as any family.  People treated each other with respect, admiration and even love. In fact, some of the people new to the struggle still are reliving those days and are pining for them, trying to recapture that feeling.

The local businesses thrived as these hundreds of thousands turned to them for food, beverages and other supplies.  In fact, some places, like Ian's pizza, were getting orders from all over the world!

It was a time of camaraderie and solidarity, the likes Wisconsin has not seen before and might never see again.

Now, Milwaukee, or to be specific, West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, will be seeing another sort of rally.  But this one will be bringing a message of hate, intolerance and possibly violence.  While Madison had people coming to fight for equal rights and fair play, we will get people rallying for suppression and prejudice.  While Madison business thrived and made good money, West Allis Police are telling businesses to consider closing their stores for the day.

And while not one Madison protester was arrested for violence, the neo-Nazi group coming to my old home town has this message:

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups and domestic terrorists nationally, the Detroit-based National Socialist Movement "is one of the largest and most prominent neo-Nazi groups in the United States."

"Schoep's group is known for the crudeness of its propaganda, the violence it works hard to support, and the faux SS outfits that have caused many other neo-Nazis to deride NSM members as 'Hollywood Nazis,' " the law center's website says.

The local representative said she hopes that 50 to 100 members and sympathizers of her group will be present at the rally and said all participants have been told not to bring guns or any other weapons.

She said, however, that if push comes to shove, members will have no problem "returning to the good old days of duking it out."

Well, isn't that special?

But the only thing that surprises me is that it took them this long to get here.  When you have the "leadership" brought by the likes of Scott Walker, The Fitzgerald Boyzzz, Glen Grothman, Alberta Darling and the rest, it's not surprising that they attract other people which share the same asocial and amoral lack of values.

I also but can't help but notice that the same bloggers and squawkers who call art teachers, social workers and firefighters thugs and worse, have nothing to say about this group.  Interesting, no?
