The Year Is 1976...

...an establishment pick and a B Movie actor were up for the count. A man who was not a conservative and a man who would define modern conservatism. Counts started coming in at the convention. The man they would pick would be the establishment pick. With an impromptu speech, the crowd quickly realized they chose the wrong man. The establishment pick would go in to lose.

32 years later. 

A man who is far left than any past president is elected after an establishment pick and a conservative from Alaska lose. The Alaskan conservative said "it takes a Carter to get a Reagan". 

8 years later. 

A man who is loved by establishment and a constitutional conservative battle it out during the primaries. The establishment candidate bests the conservative.

The Conservative suspends his campaign......

Let that sink in for a moment. A brief history lesson from the not-so-distant past can be learned from. It's happening again. Instead of the impending '1984', we have 1976 happening all over again only this time the crowd doesn't realize, quickly, they chose the wrong man. Now, you're probably wondering why I didn't write about this yesterday. I wanted to collect my thoughts on this because I was one of the ones who quickly gasped. Even though it took me a moment to truly understand what happened, I do realize how monumental that event was. 

We will not be able to replace Scalia in the Surpreme Court. We will not be able to escape the clutch of the IRS. We will not be able to secure eminent domain; our private property. No more, will the threat of a nuclear war disappear. No more will the economy explode with vibrant ideas. Men, women can share the same bathroom in public. We will not be able to secure the blessings of liberty for our children and grandchildren. The constitution as we know it now, will be torn into more pieces from here on. 

When Cruz dropped out, the choice is clear when it comes to the future of this country: populism/progressivism is in. The history of the world will begin now. 

Trump will lose to Hillary Clinton. I firmly believe this. 40 years later, history IS repeating itself. However, I do have hope. 

As an Alaskan Govenor once said: "It takes a Carter to get a Reagan".
