As you may or may not have noticed, during the past few months, I decided to take a brief political sabbatical, and managed to stay away from my passionate dissertations designed to kindle that American spirit which made this country the great nation it once was--a spirit which, I am sorry to say, has all but vanished amidst an incomprehensible wave of, again, unfathomable events. All pointing to a swift permutation to becoming a full-fledged communist state, albeit while many Americans succumb to a subliminal "denial"--one where the blindfolds makes them look upon the obvious as nothing short of a surreal aberration embraced by a conservative bourgeoisie; not to mention that the scoundrel in the White House, specifically made a commitment to carrying out said transformation back on October 30th, 2008, just before he was elected as the 44th president of the U.S.
Today, however, I am out to talk to you about, what else, but "the" only topic worth talking about at this point in time considering the magnitude and repercussions of our forthcoming presidential elections--one which as far as I am concerned may very well turn out to be not just another change in the presidency of the U.S., but an apocalyptic landmark to mankind. Yes, I can sense history being made on November 8, 2016. And I see you and I a part of it all, thus my incessant obligation to humbly share with the world my very own personal views and vantage point, in the way I see it all developing--my self-effacing predictions on the outcome of this momentous election.
Just in case that you don't know me or are not familiar with my political penchants, all of which I have amply shared with my reading audience throughout the years, I am a devout and passionate conservative from the old school; that dying breed of Americans who, like me, cherish democracy and capitalism as [the] greatest political system in the history of mankind, bar none. I shall also preface the rest of my essay today by letting you know that, come Tuesday, November 8th, I will be giving my vote to Donald Trump, no "ifs" or "buts" about it. With that out of the way, I am also going to go out on a limb and predict that Hillary Clinton will win these elections, hands down, and become the next and first woman president of the United States--you can also earmark this day as the beginning of doomsday and Armageddon for mankind, should my prediction come true.
Before you start your crusade to hang me, a la witches of Salem for my audacious prediction, just let me give you my side of the story. Before I do, though, let me just elucidate on the fact that my prediction is not one governed by pessimism nor gloominess, but it is, instead, evoked by a marked sense of realism as opposed to a romantic and passionate desire for the improbable - one that historically attempts against reality if only serving as a cause for major disappointments and let-downs in life, as, at times, we all tend to build hopes and expectations on improbable events--which as I see it, is exactly what is happening to candidate Donald Trump and the republican party in these elections.
Speaking of odds and notwithstanding all the national polls, anecdotally set out to give audiences like you and I all kinds of insights on how the rest of us think about the candidates and the elections, I say there are few and far between many other telltale signs which, as far as I am concerned, are far more relevant and insightful on predicting the outcome of the elections other than the polls, pollsters and political insiders. I am talking about plenty of innocuous, of seemingly irrelevant and extraneous happenings which day to day tell you a story far more discerning than national polls aimed at predicting electoral behaviors of universes; with predictable patterns of comportment, historically gathered from randomly sampling a group of our peers. Accurate? Maybe. Still, as far as I am concerned, I personally, feel much better served in the proposed objective by reaching-out for my own intuitiveness as opposed to letting myself be swayed one way or the other by what a few of my peers think how I or they are likely to do come election day.
Anyways, as I turn on my T.V. every day, to keep myself abreast in the continuing Clinton / Trump saga - you know Hillary's emails, Trump's supposed bigotry and so on, there is not a day that goes by where I do not sense what a dreadful future awaits us all. I can't help but feel sorry for Donald Trump in his dwindling chances of becoming our next president. If you ask me, I think the man is fighting an uphill battle of sorts. I see a man, that notwithstanding all his frailties and evident gaffs made along the way on the campaign trail, appears, nevertheless, wanting to do good by his country, regardless, if only we could all understand and come to terms with the realization that his opponent is not one Hillary Clinton, but it is a whole army of radical Americans determined to continue the path of transforming the United States of America into a communist republic, and kid yourself not, this is exactly where we are headed.
Reality, dear friends is that Mr. Trump, I am sorry to say, is not fighting Hillary Clinton alone for the post of president in the 2016 elections, but instead he is fighting a powerful, well-oiled ideological machine. He is fighting a culture that includes, our own native well-trained radicals--our own breed of socialists / communists, like Mr. Bernie Sanders, now proliferating the populous of our nation's top universities; the halls of Congress; the guilds of Hollywood; the nation's inner city communities of black and Hispanic minorities; the Black Liberation extremists groups, and a far-left mainstream media, hesitantly in control of the public opinion of the nation, and, yes, the rank and file of his own republican party--a sorrowful clan of quintessential establishment politicians who have all but let Barack Obama and his lieutenants such as Hillary Clinton, get away with murder, and I don't mean this just literally.
You can now begin to see why Mr. Trump, as bright a person as he is, has gone through three election campaign managers in the course of the last three months and, at this rate, will not surprise me if he goes through yet three more before this thing is all over. I have not a doubt in my mind that Mr. Trump foresees in these elections the very same dauntingly discouraging foresights that I do, thus his persistent reference to the fact that the elections are rigged. Having been a fighter and winner for the most part of his life, Mr. Trump finds himself for the first time ever as a potential loser. Mr. Trump, I dare say, has never before had to fight such a magnanimous opponent as is an entire nation of losers and underachievers-- a nation where class-hatred, bigotry and resentment have now become the nurturing and breeding grounds for a changing pattern of culture, unthinkable to many of us, in years past. Unthinkable to all born and raised loving everything that our country stood for.
