Trump's Secret Weapon

The secret weapon of the Republicans is George Soros and the elite Democratic leadership.  Possessing power jealously, they simply will not allow any others to ascend to leadership.  They demand any pretenders to power be rather far to the left.   In proof, a large number of the cabal of power-Democrats come from three states: New York, Massachusetts, and California.  

You can bet many Democrats feel like they are also forgotten. 

This continues with left-like movements such as the current protests against the Trump win, but also in the Occupy Wall Street push.  No leaders seem to be emerging.  These elites still control everything, no matter how much soul-searching or analysis seems to be forthcoming.  

If anything, this election showed that internally controlled progressive agendas may not work.  They have spent their power capital.  Exhausted for now, they must appeal to moderates within.  Can they do it?  Probably not. Power is so very hard to give up.   Republicans should encourage leaders like Nancy Pelosi to stay in control, as that will assure they stay in power. 

A final point, made most often by Democrats, is that Trump won because the non-college educated, thus ignorant voter.  This is an implied fallacy. To be non college educated simply means you have not been indoctrinated by college professors.  You must think for yourself. These days a college education does not automatically confer or imply intelligence - so weak is the college educational process over the past couple of decades.
