#1 The greatest evil in his world is losing access and perceived power. Exactly why Trump and Sanders are such a shock.

#2 This year’s primaries have been dominated by a “Fight Club” electorate, voters who want to blow up the system rather than work within it, but experience matters in a chief executive.

-For more than half of Americans, the current wink-wink agreement between the two parties isn't working, Mr. Weinstein and his political fellow travelers show no sign of helping to fix this (and in fact seem to be profiting handsomely and resistant to changing things), and we have been lied to too many times about commitment to resist inroads from the left.

-The Blue State model is dead. All Democrats are attempting to keep it alive as a zombie because it keeps them in food and shelter and status. The few Republicans who are also doing the same are people like Weinstein. Scratch a #neverTrumper and you'll find - 100% of the time - someone who doesn't give a damn about gun rights and who makes their living either in the government, media, education, or entertainment.

At one time Republicans like him were pro-business. Now they are only pro-BIG business. The rest of us can go to hell, or go work for the other half of the Blue State model, big government. Get it through your head, Mr. Weinstein - your life may have only been inconvenienced by Obama, and will only be inconvenienced by Clinton, but mine has been savaged. Get out of the city more often and see what has happened to your fellow Americans in the heartland.

If you want to see what Weinstein wants in a "leader", look at Gov. Charlie Baker in MA, a fussy bureaucrat with no intention of shrinking the size of government, no intention of rolling back the regulatory leviathan, and who, like Weinstein, doesn't want government shrunk to a size in line with what the founders want. Rather, he agrees with this existence of every alphabet agency clown farm the Democrats ever created, and thinks that "republican" just means someone who can run those clown farms slightly better than Democrats do.

The WWII peace dividend and dirt cheap energy are forty years dead. The socio-economic system that could exist with those conditions is a stinking corpse that Democrats and Republicans like Weinstein think they can keep alive forever.

We are at one of those crossroads in history where things MUST change. The push towards centralization over the past ninety years represents the pendulum swinging all the way in one direction. It must go the other way now or we will die as a nation. If Weinstein can explain to me how Hillary Clinton - along with her two or three SCOTUS appointments who will certainly prevent any reform of the government work force or public pensions and will certainly disarm citizens and will push for centralization as hard if not harder than Obama did and will certainly use regulatory agencies to harm any industry that doesn't give campaign donations to Democrats - will absolutely be better than Trump or anyone else, I'm all ears.

"Fight Club" is appropriate. Those who can't see it are the ones out of touch. Most of us don't work for a "communications company". whatever the hell that is. If you can't understand why people would vote for Trump, or Cruz, or a seasick flounder, before they would vote for Hillary Clinton, you need to do a lot more communication.

#3 Air is rare at his lofty level of self importance. Fight club? The contract between the citizenry and their government starts with "We the people..".

#4 I'm voting for the seasick flounder, myself.

#6 In other news, Donald Trump has demoted his proposed Muslim immigration ban to a mere “suggestion.”

#8 What's that old saying the Devil you Know vs the Devil you don't. Well what if the Devil you know is so foul the other option looks significantly better by comparison.

That is this election.

Interesting this guy worked for Newt who is in the Trump camp. Guy has no loyalties or more likely stand for nothing.

#9 I'll go with "stands for nothing more than himself and an uninterrupted gravy train". Rice bowl protectionist.

#10 Behind door number 1 there is the most hideous Gorgon ever seen in Greek mythology.

Behind door number 2 is an unknown that probably isn't great.

Which door do you choose?
I'm with rjs, number 2 can't possibly be worse and is probably better.

#12 I hate Trump - I think he is on so many things wrong, and not intellectually or morally fit for the office. These points are a must for any true conservative, pro-life, small government constitutionalist. But Vote for Hillary? No. HELL NO. This is something that would only unprincipled people do. When thinking conservative refuse voting Trump, then why the hell would you agree to voting someone probably worse, or just as bad?

#13 Mr Robot anybody?

Young, anti-social computer programmer Elliot works as a cybersecurity engineer during the day, but at night he is a vigilante hacker. He is recruited by the mysterious leader of an underground group of hackers to join their organization. Elliot's task? Help bring down corporate America, including the company he is paid to protect, which presents him with a moral dilemma. Although he works for a corporation, his personal beliefs make it hard to resist the urge to take down the heads of multinational companies that he believes are running -- and ruining -- the world.

#14 of course they could just vote for Mr Robot:
Fsociety among 2015 presidential candidates
Following the 2016 presidential election has been unavoidable this campaign season. But for fans of Mr. Robot, the race may have just gotten a little more interesting.

According to USA Today, fsociety has been entered into the race, against other new “candidates” including Darth Vader, Yoda, and Bye Felicia. A comprehensive list of who has filed statements of candidacy is on the Federal Election Commission website.

After watching Mr. Robot’s first season, we’re pretty sure that putting a stop to corporate greed would be at the center of fsociety’s campaign strategy. Are you ready to join the fsociety revolution?
