Midknight Review -- new and revised: There already is a third "party." It has no platform, no representatives, no formal organization . . . . just a whole bunch (the majority of Americans?) who work hard, pay their dues, patiently ignore broken political promises, until . . . . . . . they get pissed.

From the Hill:   Real estate mogul Donald Trump has run an outsider's juggernaut campaign, the likes of which nobody has seen in modern politics.

Democrats publicly say they are thrilled to face him in the general election. But, privately, they fret that the master marketer and media maestro is so unpredictable and so original and so fearless that they just might regret getting the match-up they had hoped for.

Trump has done all this in the face of unprecedented opposition from establishment Republican Party officials and many principled conservatives who make up the core base of the GOP.   At this point in the primary cycle, any other candidate with numbers like Trump's would have been granted "presumptive nominee" status by party bosses as well as any final remaining active candidates.

Editor's note: Nine months ago, I was laughing out loud at the very mention of "Trump for President."   As the reader knows, he is not my choice, but his campaign has been nothing short of genius, and just about everyone admits this.

But think that he just might win the nomination before going to the convention, something Mitt couldn't do, is beyond remarkable because it is a reality that is truly "against all odds."

If the Dems are not worried, well, maybe they need to rethink their complacency and retool their arrogance. There really is a "third party." It stands in the shadows and puts up with a lot of crap and broken promises from the political class.    Its called "the silent majority." These are folks in the middle, on the Left and the Right, who do not care about party politics and only take part when things get so bad that they have no choice. Well, this may be one of those times.

Time will tell, but this all makes for a very interesting time.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
