TRUMP DEFEATS NEOCON MARCO, ENDS EVIL DALLIANCE WITH GOP



NEOCONS GO DOWN WITH MARCO

The disastrous decades-long dalliance the GOP has had with the neocons, is over. Trump savaged THEIR candidate, Marco Rubio, in Florida. Then Trump went on to win in Illinois, and North Carolina and squeezed out a slim, win-tie in Missouri. The tally of delegates he has and the map of upcoming states will eventually put him well over the 1237 delegate count he needs to win the nomination in Cleveland. Today he is the nominee. The remains of the Republican establishment will now have to come to Donald hat in hand or face another lost election and the end of their control of the Supreme Court.

And best of all..the neocon plague (Bill Kristol, Max Boot, the Kagans, and their ilk) is over. Thorough they never faced a voter or were elected to any office, the powerful and insidious neocon virus, supported by billionaire donors of like mind, insinuated and infected the halls of Congress like a staphylococcus aureus super bug. Their Rasputin-like control of certain weak minded leaders, controlled the party's foreign policy and led to the disastrous "three trillion dollar war" in Iraq. In that awful, unnecessary conflict of preemption and choice thousands of young American lives were lost, tens of thousands were horribly wounded, a half a million innocent Iraqi citizens were killed and millions became refugees. The disruption of the long Iraq conflict initiated a destabilizing wave which passed though the deserts of surrounding lands like an earthquake, overturning long held political stasis in nation after nation. Thus, misguided neocon policies in the US contributed to the today's contiguous series of failed states left in smoldering ruins across the northern part of Africa. It contributed as well to the downfall of Syria, in good part generating the awful refugee problem in the millions now shaking the political and economic foundations of Europe and America too.

Nearly singlehandedly, Donald Trump, who was free of the control of the MEGADONORS class and uninfected with "neoconism" or its controlling money, Thumbed his nose at the GOP establishment. He was unpolitical. He told the truth as he saw it. The American people enthusiastically responded to his message. And last night, weathering a storm of negative propaganda paid for by big money donors, while taking incoming barrages from the Democrats on the left, and the Republican establishment on the right, as well as potshots and trip wires set by the media...Trump came through a winner.

It gives one hope that our democracy is still strong enough to withstand the effects of influxes of massive amounts of money, powerful and sinister Washington influences, media complicity and cowardice, and still the people's will can be heard.
