Opinion: We’ll Save You If We See You Burning

By Frank J Biga III - 

His eminence Senator Cruz just recently described Trump voters for us…..

“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.” 

In other words, Trump’s supporters are stupid or ignorant or both. This sounds a lot like something a Democrat would have said about Republican voters in general. I heard it many times back in 2008 and 2012. How revealing of Senator Cruz.

Now there is no doubt that many of Trump’s supporters are formerly unengaged voters. Many of them have not participated in the process in the recent path, most likely due to feelings of hopelessness in the political process. Many Americans felt the same way during the Gilded Age when the US Senate stood in the way of many reforms. But this lack of engagement does not make them “low-information” voters.

In fact, one could argue that the American Versailles effetes are the ones suffering from “low-information”.  How many of Ted Cruz’ friends and colleagues ever had to train an immigrant here on a visa to do the job that he is getting terminated from?

How many of Ted Cruz’ buddies face the prospect of working two part time jobs just to make ends meet? How many of Senator Cruz’ buddies at Goldman Sachs have to worry about only getting 3 figure bonus checks?

How many of Senator Cruz’ pals have to worry about financing their childrens’ now six figure college educations because of all the immigrants we let in to the country?

I know Senator Cruz came from humbler beginnings. But he is now part of the country club set, even if he is only a parvenu late to the Great Game of merging the United States in to a globalist state controlled by the American aristocracy.

But just like the grandees of the Second Estate in 1780s France had little idea about the massive famine going on in rural areas or the severe poverty faced by many Parisians, our American technocratic elite (like Cruz) are unaware of the horrific effects of their prescribed policies on the American working class.

Senator Cruz may not feel the effects of free trade and open borders on his livelihood, but middle America does. His comments are really offensive to many and I would have a hard time voting for him in the general election if he won the nomination.   I would not have said this a few weeks ago. The funny thing is that Mitt Romney’s recent harangue was equally offensive.  One would think that the elites would learn something from their mistakes.  Maybe they are too insulated and haughty to even think they make mistakes?

No, Ted Cruz is now just another insider. He has a very impressive Rolodex of donors and if elected he won’t make any substantial changes to the path our country is on. He’ll put the final nails in the coffin of the actual nation we once had. He’ll talk a good game and might do some good on the pro-life issue. But if our country is gone, who really cares?

What about John Kasich? His recent comments at the Palatine Town Hall on Wednesday night indicate he understands that what is driving the Trump train forward is the horrific effects of both free trade and open borders on less-skilled middle class. But his prescriptions for solving it show him to be a standard politician. I mean more job training is going to do the trick? Really? Didn’t Bill Clinton suggest this in 1992? It didn’t work then because we were kept on the same path of decline. No, the Trump voters are demanding an end to the decline and a reinvigoration of our country. They want a different path. They do not want more morphine to make the trip to the terminus feel a little better. They want off that train of doom. They are the ones who have that information vital to our country’s future. If Kasich and company were paying more attention they might actually see it.

Rubio? His political career is now over. He exposed himself for the globalist liberal he really is and he has been summarily rejected by the American people at the polls. He did win Puerto Rico though so let’s give him credit for that.

Time to clean out the stables!
