Before we start, let's clarify something. Those who live and work in Washington, D.C., aren't in America. D.C. is not a state. Residents can't vote. The rest of us are required to pay taxes to meet your needs, which have become, shall we say, excessive. You don't live in America. You live somewhere else.
There are two political parties only in the minds of those who live inside the D.C. bubble. Every national election time, there is a series of ghastly contests stretching out two years where the two District of Columbia parties conduct hand-to-hand combat for the remaining colosseum spectators. The winner vanquishes the loser (until the next election), wins the contest and then spends the money for the next two or four years. During that time, the winner hands out the money collected across the nation to grease the hands of his friends and relatives, and to repay political debts.
Two political parties do exist in America, but they're not the donkeys and the elephants. The Establishment Party is comprised of old family monied interests and brash young tech founder wannabes. The old money goal is to hang onto what they have and elect one of their own. The wannabes "wanna" disrupt the old money and usher in the new world they are creating. Either will put forward the best figurehead that money can buy during the primaries. Neither will come out themselves and say they want the job. A figurehead must orate well but say nothing meaningful. Thus was born the professional political class.

A prosperous, happy nation will, for the most part, overlook this kind of leadership. As long as they keep up appearances and don't get too greedy. A nation sinking into despair will not. Washington, D.C., home to the Establishment Party, is now the most prosperous zip code in the nation. It makes nothing, yet it sells everything, including the lives and futures of every other American.
The Establishment Party has no idea how other Americans live. They thought everyone should have a college education, so they sold manufacturing jobs to China. The Establishment Party thought that natural resource industries were dirty and unbecoming for a great nation, so they cleaned them up, which closed them, exported those jobs overseas and then imported the same resources from other nations.

The Establishment Party thought it was unkind when ordinary people complained about their goodness and generosity, so they invented political correctness as a new religion and then used it to stifle discussion of their growing list of failures, because hearing about their failures was painful. Being the children of the children of the children of privilege, they knew they were the best the nation had to offer – and the rest of us had better be grateful!
The Establishment Party's contempt of an ungrateful electorate and nation outside of D.C. grew. Their godless worldview put them further and further apart from the ordinary Americans they sought to represent. Their response, as always, was to hire others to do their dirty work. Thus, they enlisted militant Islam to undercut Christianity's influence in the nation, which the enlightened Establishment Party finds so distasteful.

But the Establishment Party got greedy. It took the government "off the books" by running it without annual budgets. They began to use private email accounts to conduct government business, then refused to turn over their correspondence, which detailed further favors sold for cash. They tightened security on ordinary Americans to prevent Islamic terrorism. They increased illegal surveillance on ordinary Americans – to prevent Islamic terrorism. They increased economic espionage overseas – to prevent Islamic terrorism. They build a domestic police force – to prevent Islamic terrorism. Then they denied that Islam has anything to do with terrorism.
Their policies have destabilized other nations and opened the avenue to another world war. The looming death of political correctness means their failures will be on display for all the world to see.
America knows this is true. Americans know the economy outside of the D.C. bubble is in a shambles, with adult children living at home with their parents, unable to repay their college loans for that fancy education. They know the government's unemployment statistics are meaningless, because the unemployed have been shunted out of the workforce and put on disability or welfare, further increasing the tax burdens of working Americans. They know Obamacare took more money out of their pockets to feed the drug and insurance company executives who write checks to political candidates.
America knows. They know the Establishment Party's embrace of militant Islam to cripple Christianity is national suicide in the making. America knows and is ready for a candidate to deal with it.
The reason America knows is that the GOP half of the Establishment Party is at war with the most popular candidate it has put forth since Ronald Reagan. Rather than support the candidacy of Donald Trump, they would see a Democrat president and Congress elected, so great is their fear of anything that originates outside the beltway, where common and sense are at times still seen walking down the street together.

America knows she doesn't have a second chance.
America is not going to vote for the Establishment Party this time around.
Does God do things the way we expect?
