thegatewaypundit.com WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: WHY TRUMP CAN’T LOSE
by Assistant Editor

By Wayne Allyn Root

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.

Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”

Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.

There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full- like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning…with Indian immigrants.

Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”

But these weren’t white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.

The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.

And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.

Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he’s the “King of Indian Immigrants.”

No politician in US political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.

More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.

Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

But it won’t work. Let me explain why.

Only three things can happen with impeachment. In each case, Trump wins.

First, House Democrats try to impeach Trump, but can’t muster enough votes to impeach. They look like over-reaching fools and sore losers. Trump wins by an electoral landslide in 2020.

Second, the House impeaches Trump. But the Senate acquits him. Democrats look like over-reaching fools and sore losers. Trump wins by an electoral landslide in 2020.

Third, the House impeaches. Then a jealous, bitter, backstabbing, sore-loser Mitt Romney leads a RINO revolt against Trump in the Senate. They convict Trump. He’s removed from office.

Guess what happens next? Impeachment removes a president from office, but doesn’t disqualify him from holding future office.

Result? Trump runs for re-election as an independent and is re-elected President of the United States when all 63 million Trump voters leave the GOP to support Trump.

Trump gets revenge by destroying the GOP. Mitt Romney and the GOP won’t get 5 million votes. The party will be finished, kaput. The GOP goes the way of the Whigs.

And Trump campaigns against every GOP Senator who voted against him- ending all of their careers.

In each case, Trump wins.

My advice to the GOP Senate: Cross Trump at your own peril. A vote to convict Trump is a vote to destroy the GOP forever and end your Senate careers in disgrace.

And my advice to backstabber Mitt Romney. Find a new party. You are a disgrace and embarrassment to me and 63 million Trump voters.

Newly uncovered tax documents from President Donald Trumpthat were obtained by ProPublica contain several inconsistencies that could point to financial fraud.The discrepancies in the numbers made some Trump properties look more valuable to lenders and less valuable to tax authorities, ProPublica said.At least one of the filings was made after Trump took office in 2017.The public may soon get a window into the president's closely held financial records after two separate court rulings ordered Trump to turn over years of tax returns to Congress and to New York prosecutors.An employee at the IRS also recently blew the whistle on "inappropriate efforts to influence" the agency's audit of Trump's taxes.

50% of this country thinks Trump will get re-elected, because we're going to vote him back into office. Your Democratic Communists are not what the American people want. They are just rehashing old Communist ideas and putting lipstick on the pig. Those of us in this country old enough to remember Socialism and Communism for what it actually is, not as it is being sold to you by those idiotic charlatans you call Democratic candidates, will never allow Socialism and Communism to take over this country. You'll have to go through us to make that happen. And that means you are going to outbreed us to win an election. You don't have the numbers yet to do that. So you'd better start making babies, because you have a ways to go. ----------- How the Presidential candidates rehash failed communist ideas by Joe Jarvis via The Daily Bell 171 years ago, the Communist Manifesto was first published. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels filled the book with bold new ideas for how the working proletariat could rise up against the monied bourgeoisie. At one point in the text, they write a check-list of the top ten goals of the communists. This list included things like free public education, a progressive income tax, and a state-owned central banking monopoly. That’s all been accomplished of course. Then there are a few other goals which you might recognize as coming back into fashion these days. For instance, Marx’s platform includes the “abolition of all rights of inheritance.” Marx also advocated “Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.” And number one on Marx’s top ten checklist was “Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.” Marx would fit right in running for President amongst the current crowded field of “democratic socialists” clamoring to one-up each other with the most communist platform. For instance, Bernie Sanders’ platform includes a top estate tax–aka inheritance or death tax–of 77%. But that’s far from the only stale old idea Bernie Sanders has dug up. Last month he announced his plan to overhaul housing and make it more affordable. This includes a 25% house-flipping tax. That, apparently to punish the people who buy crappy houses, fix them up, and sell them for a profit. You already pay property taxes on land, which means it’s not really yours, you’re renting it from the government. But now they think you should pay even more if you’re improving that property to sell. And Sanders wants an additional “empty homes tax” of 2% on the total value of vacant houses. Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigeig have both proposed one year mandatory national service for young people. Bill “your money’s in the wrong hands” de Blasio dropped out of the Presidential race, and went back to NYC where he’ll continue raising taxes on the people who have the nerve to invest millions of dollars in New York City property. The wealth tax, proposed by Elizabeth Warren, was abandoned by Sweden after it didn’t work. Virtually all the candidates are peddling some expansion of free education, whether it is giving away free college or erasing student debt. They all want the income tax to be even more progressive, with top rates of 70%+. Current Presidential candidates aren’t proposing bold new ideas. They are rehashing old failed communist ideas. But it’s not just communist theory that’s the problem. Countries have already tried putting the Communist Manifesto into practice. Abolishing inheritance of property was actually one of the first things the Bolsheviks did in 1918 shortly after they came to power in Russia. This, along with other policies to weaken the family, quickly created millions of homeless children. The effects were so disastrous on the economy and family, that even the Soviets reversed course, and restored inheritance rights by 1926. Communist China abolished land ownership, instead collectivizing farms in the late 1950s. It’s no coincidence that famines from 1959-1961 in China killed millions. China too reversed course, gradually at first, but eventually restoring private property ownership. The ideas in the Communist Manifesto have been tried by the likes of the USSR and the People’s Republic of China, only to be abandoned because of their abject failure. But now there are new generations of victims, indoctrinated in the public school system, ready to take the bait again, hook, line and sinker. We’ve seen how quickly the rhetoric has changed, even from just one election ago. Bernie Sanders was the furthest to the left by a clear margin. And now his fringe beliefs have become the standard rallying call of these politicians. Right now these candidates may be peddling “communism light.” But in another four years that could turn full-bolshevik. So it makes sense to protect yourself from the effects these proposed policies would have on you. For instance, why fix up American houses and get punished, when you could buy foreign real estate for cheaper? Then you have assets, and a living option outside the country. That’s especially important if they continue making their way down Marx’s checklist to, “Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.”

President Trump appears likely to win reelection next year, according to three different economic models Moody’s Analytics uses to measure presidential contests. Moody’s modeling, which has only missed on one presidential election since 1980, found that Trump, who won by a 304-227 margin in the Electoral College in 2016, could easily surpass those results in 2020. The three different models showed Trump winning either 289, 332 or 351 votes in the Electoral College over his eventual opponent. The projections are based on how consumers feel about their financial situations, stock market gains achieved under Trump and the prospects for unemployment. “If the economy a year from now is the same as it is today, or roughly so, then the power of incumbency is strong and Trump’s election odds are very good, particularly if Democrats aren’t enthusiastic and don’t get out to vote,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics and co-author of the paper, told CNBC. “It’s about turnout.” Of the three models, Trump performs best under the “pocketbook” measure, which gauges how people feel about their finances. “Our ‘pocketbook’ model is the most economically driven of the three. If voters were to vote primarily on the basis of their pocketbooks, the president would steamroll the competition,” the report said. “This shows the importance that prevailing economic sentiment at the household level could hold in the next election.” The report shows that high turnout would favor the Democrats and projects a narrow Democratic victory if there is historic Democratic turnout. The report is likely to be welcome news to Trump’s campaign, which has sought to leverage on a strong economy to try to offset an array of other issues, including the House’s growing impeachment investigation. “Impeached for what, having created the greatest Economy in the history of our Country, building our strongest ever Military, Cutting Taxes too much?” Trump tweeted last week. To help bolster its chances, the Trump campaign has also emerged as a fundraising juggernaut, announcing Tuesday that its joint fundraising committees and the Republican National Committee hauled in a combined total of $125.7 million in the year’s third quarter. Moody’s models have been backtested to 1980 and were shown to be correct for each presidential election, except for 2016 when it predicted a narrow victory for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
