This is a President who campaigned on bringing the various groups of American society together.

But, Obama, during his two terms, subtly stoked the flames of division in American society.

During his two terms, it became commonplace and acceptable for left-oriented student groups to violently shut down peaceful public talks by political leaders or public commentators on American college campuses, who did not share the agitators’ beliefs.

Obama, the so-called great leader and great orator stood by silently when the rights of American students were trampled by these violent perps.

The responsibility for shutting down Trump’s talk at the University of Illinois is clearly the fault and responsibility of the perpetrators. And Obama, for his negligence throughout his two terms, should also bear responsibility, because these people who prefer violence to dialogue are his supporters—and his people.

Shame on Obama. Shame on these people. By their actions, they are trampling on the American Constitution.

Lastly, to his credit, Trump, when faced with a very difficult situation not of his doing, acted calmly and responsibly under pressure and made the right decision in cancelling his talk. Trump showed great grace under pressure.

And he came across as very cool, calm, contemplative, decisive and above all, presidential.

Rubio just got killed on Super Saturday where he lost against Trump and Cruz in Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas and Maine.

And Rubio is 15% behind in the most recent Florida poll, his own home state!

Political pundits are suggesting that if Rubio loses in Florida, he has crossed the Rubio-Con.

Marco has already crossed the metaphorical Rubicon, when he was embarrassed on Super Tuesday.

Now Rubio and his elitist GOP Washington-based establishment types are doubling down.

They and Rubio are threatening to take the fight to stop Trump to the convention floor.

In other words, against the obvious democratic will of the people, they want to stop Trump in some brokered, behind closed doors sleazy deal.

Can these so-called GOP experts and these fat cat GOP politicos be any more stupid?

These idiots have handed Trump an even greater cause. The popular will of the people against the slimy back-room machinations of power-hungry Washington insiders!

Sanders was right.  There is a revolution going on.

It is the revolution of the people against the political elites. Trump is the agent of this change and of this political revolution. And all establishment figures will be swamped under this tsunami of change and anger, including Hillary, the archetypal Washington insider.  Because the majority of the American people don’t give a shite that Hillary will be the first female president.

You heard it here first. Trump is going to ride this wave of anger and revolution right into the Trump White House.

Nothing short of Trump being criminally indicted will stop this powerful, seemingly indestructible Trump train.

After three hard-fought and contentious primaries in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, we have a much better handle on who constitutes Trump’s core supporters.

The most recent South Carolina primary confirmed that Trump had retained the support of men, moderate conservatives, those without college degrees and older voters.

In addition—and this was a huge shock to Cruz supporters and mainstream Republicans—Trump also won the support of white evangelical voters by 8 percentage points over Senator Cruz.

This very powerful and influential Republican group in South Carolina made up approximately 70 percent of Republican voters in the state and had been the backbone of Senator Ted Cruz’s support. Obviously no longer.

Recall about a month ago, in an effort to bolster his support among socially conservative Republicans, while at the same time alienating Trump from this very same group, Cruz accused Trump of “embodying New York values”.

In other words, contrary to Republican socially conservative dogma, Trump was soft on abortion and gay marriage.  Cruz further implicitly accused Trump,  as a born and bred New Yorker, as being overly focused on money and the media.

Well, Senator Cruz-  Duh!!!  Donald Trump owes his very political and public appeal to being totally focused on success, money and the media. And Republicans—both social conservatives and moderates—appear to be fine with Trump’s positions.

Because Republicans, young and old, male and female, conservative and moderate, urban, suburban and rural, all appear to more concerned about the economy, the threat of terrorism and radical Islam, (both foreign and abroad),  America’s broken immigration system, and the fact that America has lost its way.

And Trump, above all the other Republican contenders, has clearly tapped into these issues.

My view is that if Cruz could not beat Trump in evangelical-rich South Carolina, then I don’t like Cruz’s chances in delegate-rich and socially conservative states like Texas, Virginia and Florida.

Cruz’s chances become even worse as the primary fight shifts to more moderate Republican states in the northeast, Midwest and the west.

In addition, as Cruz falters more, I predict that Cruz’s natural conservative support will gravitate to Trump,  followed by the remnants of Jeb Bush and Kasich supporters and not to the wishy washy Rubio, who has clearly failed to inspire and connect with the greater Republican electorate.

To me, Trump’s victory in the Republican primaries seems inevitable. To the clueless Republican political establishment – not so much.

Obama will forever be associated with the effeminate slogan, “leading from behind”.
His disappearing “red line in the Mideast sand on Syria”, was the final straw that broke the camel’s back, to mix Mideast metaphors.

From that time forth, Putin jumped in and overshadowed him. The Iranian mullahs mocked him. And Barry’s key allies in Europe, the Mideast (Israel), Asia ( Japan) and South Asia ( India)  began distancing themselves from him and America.

The result- a horrible and embarrassing near fatal blow to America’s confidence and national self-esteem, both domestically and internationally.

The feminization of Obama, both literally at home and abroad, is the reason for the rise of Trump and Sanders.

As the brilliant Ross Douthat , argues in Sunday’s New York Times, (see article) Americans- young, old, white, male, female and of color, want American to be great again. They are tired of settling for mediocrity. Of just getting by. They want to prosper. They want a better future for themselves and their children. They want to have a shot at what Trump has- and is offering.

As for the Democrats.  Sanders genuinely believes that government can be a force for good and can uplift all Americans, beyond mediocrity to greatness.

For the Democrats, Sanders is the change agent. Hillary Clinton is “Yesterday’s Woman”. A congenital liar and prevaricator. Scandals, lies and deceptions are embedded in her DNA. “Whitewater, Benghazi, destruction of her national security/private emails, Slick Willy selling access to Secretary of State Hillary,  for millions of dollars- the list goes on and on and on- with no end in sight. Until Sanders drives a stake in the primaries- once and for all- through Clinton’s cold-hearted chest.

Clinton is no advocate for women or women’s rights. She is a power-hungry Lady Macbeth, tainted by the blood of publicly humiliating and destroying scores of vulnerable women preyed on by her sexual predator of her husband.

I predict a Trump/Sanders fight to the death.  And a Trump White House in 2017.
