Your slip is showing

[MrPots]

I've always sorta groused about the ruling class in this country. The small cabal of 1%'ers that rule over us. A democracy isn't really supposed to have a ruling class, that's for monarchies and dictatorships. the media is careful to keep up the illusion that we have some sort of democracy in the US of A. Today CBS slipped front page - acknowledges we have a "ruling class" in the country.

When you have a ruling class, you don't have a democracy or freedom. Todays headline:

Will GOP establishment rally around Ted Cruz?
To stop Trump, Republicans' ruling class may get behind guy they otherwise hate


It isn't what the voters want...it's what the ruling class wants. If the ruling class does not want Trump, how bad could he be?

Exactly!

+1

That's why he is my #2 choice for President after Bernie Sanders.

As for Hillary, the ruling class has donated tens of millions of dollars to her campaign.

And they've payed her hundreds of thousands of dollars to give talks to them.

I'd take trump over cruz any day. In fact if cruz is the candidate, I might even hold my nose and vote for Hillary.

The difference between Trump and Cruz:

Trump wants us to elect him driver because we like how he talks, even though he's crazy, prone to road-rage, and sure to crash into something.

Cruz lets us know he's rational and totally in control, and promises, if elected, to drive us over a cliff.

Then give me the bumper car ride. Mine, and many other's, favorite childhood amusement park ride. Trump's also like a roller coaster.

right now to me Trump seems like the lesser of two evils.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Lesser of two weasels also applies, tho it's too close a call to make. They both stink on ice.

I actually agree if the choice is Trump vs. Cruz.

Continuing the analogy, I pick Hillary as the driver over Trump. She's far from the best possible driver for the truck-of-state, to be sure. She'd drive it too much like a car, wreaking some havoc by scraping things with the trailer on turns. And a lot of the goods supposedly in the van will have been misdelivered at the end of some runs. Still, I don't see her totally plowing into traffic with it, or yanking the wheel and jackknifing. That's what Trump will do.

If you are in charge of the Navy, and you have an XO that is a prospective CO of a submarine, you would not promote him if he has done all the shit Trump has said. Trump has not behaved like a reasoned adult - that is all there is to it.

There was all kinds of shit tossed about when we had the Brown situation here in Ferguson, and some folks were hell bent to railroad Brown's stepfather for saying a couple of incendiary remarks.

Now Trump says virtually the same things, promises to pay legal bills, yearns for the days when people who disagreed were carted out on stretchers, and many of the same people feel this qualifies him to be President of our country?

Man, that sure is a strange shaped and sized shoe to make that convulated logic allow your foot to fit in it, but it fits. Bad riotous talk from a grieving poor black person = arrest and jail them, but bad riotous talk from a rich white person = support and elect him President.

Interesting.
