Trumping Those Elites

It is a rather amusing fact that some political elites didn't get the candidate they wanted this year. Ordinary Americans have experienced the lack of good candidates for President since Ronald Reagan. While people like Bob Kerry used to enter primary races, elites generally get their man or woman leaving dissatisfied voters looking at third parties.

Disgruntled Republican insiders and the media promote dissent from the Trump campaign. House Speaker Paul Ryan- the fulfillment of Tom Clancy's character Jack Ryan, continues to be less than enthused with the trump campaign. Voters might get the idea he would rather have the ultimate insider Hillary win than the sole pro-nationalist candidate in the Presidential race.

Ryan was quoted as saying he wouldn't ask anyone to go against their conscience in reference to anti-Trump candidates. It's good to know that Ryan was an ideological twin of Mitt Romney with nothing about being his running mate that bothered his conscience. Romney has been one of the most disgruntled Republican leaders, so much so that it seems as if he would like to run again for the office and wrest the opportunity from Donald Trump. Paul Ryan's conscientious objections to the Trump campaign were eventually overcome with pragmatism yet it seems as if the realpolitik of Republicans actually needing to work to get the office with enthusiasm rather than acting like frigid wives that must, if absolutely necessary, service their husband, hasn't occurred to them. They seem to think their is always a Monica that will take care of things.

The new Testament book of I Corinthians VI warns about sexual immorality, informing us that homosexuals, adulterers, fornicators, drunks, revilers, don't enter the Kingdom of God.

First Corinthians chapter six...

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but
ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God
shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for
fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also
raise up us by his own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of
Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make
them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an
harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is
without the body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body.”


Politically speaking the least bad alternative is far more likely these days than am actual ideal candidate. Because elites, the Clintons and Bushes, Obama and/or diplomats that want to bomb the Assad regime into oblivion and create an ideal Sunni caliphate state, anarchy or a corporatist vassal entity have corrupted U.S. politics since the end of the Reagan administration, it's worth remembering that the state and political candidates are not the kingdom of God that voters join with, as if they were joining with whores and debasing themselves individually. The democratic state is the best available way still existing for representative government to exist, and it requires pragmatic electorate participation even when the sky is dark and the way is murky since there are greater evils; Hillary, lurking in the darkness.
