Why Americans Are Backing Trump and Sanders Over the Mainstream Candidates Backed By the Political Machines

We’ve previously noted that polls show that Americans are in a “pre-revolutionary” mood, that less than 1 in 5 Americans think that the government has the “consent of the governed”, that government corruption tops the list of Americans’ fears, and that 3 times as many Americans supported King George during the Revolutionary War than support our OWN Congress today.

You might assume that such statements are over-the-top … or that the results come from partisan pollsters.

But a group of Republican and Democratic pollsters and political strategists reviewed polling data last week, and revealed some stunning results:

84% of all Americans believe political leaders are more interested in protecting their power and privilege than doing what is right.

81% percent believe the power of ordinary people to control our country is getting weaker every day as politicians of both parties fight to protect their own power and privilege

80% believe the federal government is its own special interest primarily looking out for itself

79% of all voters believe we need to recruit and support more candidates for office, at all levels of government, who are ordinary citizens, rather than professional politicians and lawyers

78% believe that the Democratic and Republican Parties are essentially useless in changing anything, because both political parties are too beholden to special interests to create any meaningful change

76% of Americans agree with the statement that America cannot succeed unless we take on and defeat the corruption and crony capitalism in our government

75% believe that the US government is NOT working for the people’s best interest

75% believe that powerful interests have used campaign and lobbying money to rig the system for themselves

74% see the biased and slanted coverage of the media as part of the problem

72% of Americans believe the U.S. has a two-track economy, where most Americans struggle every day, where good jobs are hard to find, and where huge corporations get all the rewards

72% believe that the reason families in our middle class have not seen their economic condition improve for decades and economic growth is stalled is because of corruption and crony capitalism in Washington

71% believe our government is not only dysfunctional, it is collapsing right before our eyes

70% believe the government in Washington does not govern with the consent of the people The majority – 56% – say they wish there were a third party with a chance of success to fight for their interests

Only 15% say the “values and principals of my political party are so important that I strongly prefer to vote for the candidates of my party…”

They concluded:

The country [is] in a prerevolutionary moment.

***

This election could mark the beginning of the end of two-party duopoly in the United States.

***

The people believe the real struggle for America is not between Democrats and Republicans, but between mainstream America and the ruling political elites of incumbent politicians, lobbyists, big business, big unions, big banks, big special interests and the big media.

***

The power elite asks, “When will this be over?” Although this is seen as a chaotic and temporary situation by most of the political and media establishment, our research shows a strong, evolving tidal wave of discontent and growing pressure for real and dramatic change.

***

Real change is what that the establishment fears most and fights hardest against. It is ultimately a losing battle.

***

This, in fact, is a revolution.

Vote for a third party or vote the incumbent OUT, Those are your only choises. If you do not vote, then they win.

My theory is that if you vote for anyone, you are agreeing with this corrupt system.

There are about 100 million Americans that are eligible to vote, but do not, for whatever reason.

Myself, I would like to see the voting age raised to at least 30 years of age.

Do you think they really care if they have consent or not?

I have rarely voted for any Republican since I decided to never vote for any member of the CFR, Trilateral Commission or Bilderberg Society. But this election is different. We are going into financial chaos and martial law. I will vote for Trump who is despised by the RNC and the RINOs. They are working together to steal votes away from him as the Democrats did against Sanders in Iowa. In short I want Trump in office over Biden, Sanders or Kerry when we have a collapsing dollar, Nationwide Food Riots and martial law.

He must be doing SOMETHING right to warrant that, and as there IS no other choice, I'll be voting for him as well.

I believe the system is so crookedly rigged that 95% of voters could vote Trump or Sanders and we would still end up with Hillary or Cruz/Rubio being inaugurated in 2017. Any wagers?

I might add another scenario for you.

I am very olde, lived thru the rise of Hitler and Churchill.

Trump as president, will follow in the steps of one of the above.

Myself I am betting on Trump to be a Churchill and will vote for him.

I think it'll be easier for the DNC to bury Sanders than it would be for the RNC to bury Trump, just due to his financial resources and his ability to stir the pot.

However, they COULD just dump Trump at the convention if so inclined, there's no law against delegates voting for a different candidate, is there?

Trump says he will seal the Mexican border and deport the illegals. The problem with this is the illegals, if they are working, they have to get a Social Security Number. This, then, makes them a part of the system.

Of course if they do not have a SSN, then they are being paid less than the prevailing wage for the work they are doing. That is known as a scab in labor union parlance. www.bing.com/search?q=scab&FORM=EDGEND ;)

We SHOULD have a clear choice between Sanders and Trump; I'll go with DJT.

Even Hitler would be better than Bernie.

Trump should write executive order for arrest of Obama, Clinton, Reid, Boehner and a few more on his first day.

One thing that I've learned is that NO new president ever, ever, goes against any previous regime, no matter how badly needed it might be. EVER

What we plebes hope for never comes to pass.

The country [is] in a prerevolutionary moment.

Before every election, the same consideration is revealed.

The election process occurs with few complaints. And, in the aftermath some Americans wave their POM-POMs as though they are winners and others pout and suggest the next election shall change everything. And back to work as little groveling serfs we go, to face the future knowing that there was and is large doubt about the presidential candidate we chose; did the little man we chose show principled behavior whether he was elected or not?

We even belive that our other elected officals, such as a Congressman or Senator might support the re-identification about their obligations to serve the citizenry. And it never changed in the past century after WW2 about the US political system that evolved right before our eyes. You see, the system is out of control. Now, the US government owns the US Constitution; the citizenry owns the debts of the US Government, iresspective of errors and omissions about the government working for us; the US Supreme Court declares the position; the US Congress declares the same position and the US President can do anything he/she wants without any principles at all exercised by any of the other two branches.

And nothing ever happens to actualize change away from a strong centrist government towards a relatively weak decentralized government that is all about the US Constitution that demands the federal government to operate with state's rights as the forefront of federal constitutional restraint as planned under the US Constitution by the founders.

And every four years later, we somehow wakeup to another nitemare that we collectively have voted for or not, believing some unprincipled bum off the street will shake things up.

Nope, America is a full-fledged fascist nation, now, because we did not exercise our GOD GIVEN individual rights over OUR US Constitution. The country is a complete police state with minor nuisance; few of us have the backbone to fight other than (perhaps) check a box at a controlled polling location that you are designated to attend. Believe what you want but you are ruled by an unelected few and you are controlled about your thoughts concerning your own rights, freedoms, and liberties.

America created Israel through the UN. So, whatever you do, don't go off half-cocked.

The Jews took over America in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve and the IRS. They got us into WW I and WW II. They own our government. We do not.

They killed JFK have owned the government ever since. Prior to that they had enough control of our that they got away with killing the President.

Israel Killed JFK And Has Ruled America Ever Since.

Too true.

My ideal would be Trump jail a few of present government.

If he does not, he will be a failure also.
