The Lanchester Review: The Democratic Party’s Biggest Insurrection in Decades

Norman Solomon feels the Bern, and sets it in its historical context.

The nomination of Sanders would secure Jeremy Corbyn all the way to 2020. Even if Sanders lost, then he would have lost only to Donald Trump.

Absolutely no one in the Labour Party, or indeed in the Conservative Party, wants to be Donald Trump.

  1. It's either Donald Trump or its all over for America. The night Barack Obama was first elected President Peter Hitchens wrote from Washington "The Night We Waved Goodbye to America, Our Last Best Hope On Earth."

    The nation that had until then stood out against global warmism, welfarism, gun control, weak criminal justice and high taxes, and stood for Christianity, strong defence, national sovereignty and freedom that night embraced the things that have wrecked the rest of the West.

    Obama's Presidency has seen an executive amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, gay marriage imposed on every state by a Democrat-dominated Supreme Court, executive gun control legislation, globalist trade deals that export jobs and industry abroad, state-run healthcare and federal funding of abortion through Planned Parenthood.

    It's no exaggeration to say that another Democratic Presidency really is "goodbye to America."

    And all that it once stood for.

    1. Bless.

      Enthusiasm for Trump indicates that the online Right merely lives in Britain. It has nothing socially or culturally to do with the place.

      "State-run healthcare," indeed. The thing of which culturally British people are proudest.

      That, and being better than a country where anyone could conceivably vote for Donald Trump.

    2. Or Ted Cruz, or Ben Carson, or Jeb Bush, or Sarah Palin, or George W. Bush, or Ronald Reagan and his "pollution comes from trees". The Republican Party is the gift that keeps on giving.

    3. Trump has just hinted that Palin would be his running mate. Oh, please, let it be so!

  2. As you have just tweeted, Mr. L., Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star has been "defaced" with a swastika. No defacement, I'd say.

    1. The number of Americans who would vote for absolutely anyone against Trump is larger than the number that would ever vote for him.

  3. Swastika? Oh dear.

    Where have I heard that before?

    Usually from leftists, who are short on arguments, trying to smear patriots who opposes mass immigration.

    It's all rather boring now. Nobody buys it any more.

    Indeed after Paris and Cologne (where 820 women were assaulted in one square) who in Europe now doesn't think Donald Trump was absolutely right?

    1. It is very galling for the kind of people who could never make it in Europe because they take pride in never having read a book.

      Their consolation was that someone like them could still become President of the United States. But the defeat of Trump in November will indicate that even that is no longer true.
