Trump - the False Flag Candidate

[TheVictors]

I have been sort of wondering to myself if what The Donald is doing isn't just more self-promotion but after watching his stand up routine a bit last night, I am now convinced - Trump's candidacy is just about to ruin the GOP and the many jabs he took last night at Jeb and Rubio and the rest will sting for a while.

Then I found this ...a lot of folks agree with that view.

And so the question jumps out at us: Why now?

Although I have no concrete proof of my theory, there’s plenty of circumstantial evidence. His ties to the Clintons, his past pronouncements which are in such blatant contradiction to his current fulminations, and the cries of joy from the Clintonian gallery and the media (or do I repeat myself) all point to a single conclusion: the Trump campaign is a Democratic wrecking operation aimed straight at the GOP’s base.

Donald Trump is a false-flag candidate. It’s all an act, one that benefits his good friend Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party that, until recently, counted the reality show star among its adherents. Indeed, Trump’s pronouncements – the open racism, the demagogic appeals, the faux-populist rhetoric – sound like something out of a Democratic political consultant’s imagination, a caricature of conservatism as performed by a master actor.

If you Google "Trump False Flag" you get a ton of hits, ranging from FoxNews to other, alternative outlets...

I found his performance last night to be pretty damn funny honestly. But I don't think I could bring myself to vote for him as President.

Then again, maybe he doesn't really care ....?

I read this, but my question is so... the RNC is too clueless to keep a false flag candidate from becoming their own front runner?

Surely they bear some large portion of the blame for allowing the Clown Car to get so packed, and keep careening around the field.

I think the RNC is a complete dumpster fire right now and the leadership of past election cycles - the neocon component for Dubya, the Tea Party for McCain/Palin and the Koch Brothers for Romney/Senatorial - has no idea what to do about Trump.

And what do you do? The silly 'pledge' that Trump refused to make during the last debate ... Do you come out and decry Trump for his business dealings and expose him and risk alienating the voters that are gravitating towards him now..?

He's sort of a populist buffoon who has managed to capture the attention of the middle class voter who aspires to be Trump and who watched The Apprentice all those years as well as the wealthy voter who feels Trump and his Capitalist approach is superior to the old Beltway political machine..

I don't know ..it's only August 2015 but Trump got more laughs last night than any politician ever gets in a similar setting and he wasn't pulling any punches - he was openly mocking every single legitimate GOP Pres candidate and folks were eating it up!

I don't give Trump enough credit to pull this off and keep it secret, nor do I think Hilary is dumb enough to put her trust in him.

Yeah, I think we discussed how fragmented the GOP is between the Koch faction, the Tea Party, and the others, has resulted in this.

One might have thought - assuming they're an avg. voter, not a big time donor, or special interest lobbyist - that having less-centralized Party would be good for getting in a range of candidates with different opinions and spurring a legitimate debate on a lot of issues that would otherwise be tabled.

hilariously, it's all been a big negative in this case. The issues brought up are all different flavors of racist pandering, coupled with the GOP's ubiquitous calls for tax cuts. No legitimate debate has occured, and all the candidates that have emerged are terrible.

The "pledge" backfired badly on Fox, and I think shows how brainless they are. It should've been obvious that would just make Trump more appealing to GOP voters. But that's what you get when you actually embrace anti-intellectualism, and oppose education. Anyone who tried to make sense or stay consistent during the Super-Dumb Bush years was marginalized. Even Karl Rove has been kicked to the curb.

When Bill "God causes the Tides" O'Reilly is the brains behind your outfit, instead of merely an attack dog... you're in trouble.

And I think the article I linked (which is a tad dated now) mentions that there is absolutely no coherent policy at all when it comes to Trump and just a lot of disjointed soundbites.
