Another Brilliant Analysis on Why Trump Will Beat Clinton

Michael Krieger | Posted Tuesday May 24, 2016 at 10:37 am, Max Keiser's Liberty BlitzKrieg


A Clinton match-up is highly likely to be an unmitigated electoral disaster, whereas a Sanders candidacy stands a far better chance. Every one of Clinton’s (considerable) weaknesses plays to every one of Trump’s strengths, whereas every one of Trump’s (few) weaknesses plays to every one of Sanders’s strengths. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, running Clinton against Trump is a disastrous, suicidal proposition.

"WHO is Max Keiser. He refers to 9-11 being a hoax, he exposes the “black boxes” of non accountable controlling banks, even the controlling nexus, the Bank of International Settlements, and shouts very loudly about their perfidy, blackmail, “financial terrorism”, theft from taxpayers, “unconscionable huge bonuses stolen from taxpayers”, the IMF causing trillions of dollar global debts, their “economic hitmen”, which are the same people as Goldman Sachs, and other Wall Street banksters. He is permitted to rake them all over the coals. Why? But he doesn’t mention the Rothschilds, the nexus, who control the Bank of International Settlements.

Max promotes a gold standard, to turn back the tide to some kind of “honest free and fair, entrepreneuring Capitalism“, because he “loves his USA and its Constitution.” In that respect, he’s a Rhino, as he should realise, in all his expertise, that that is not the way the World is going at all!

The World –inevitably– is gonna go Socialist, a global Socialist super-state with a One World Currency, whatever that is going to be based on. The Euro? Special Drawing Rights? Or gold, silver and commodities? We shall see."

I am so impressed (not ) with this guys opinion. I wonder how many people lost their shirts in gold listening to his nonsense...no doubt he is a Trump...funny how you all keep posting this stuff which only serves to help Trump...Bernie lost. No matter how many pro-Trump articles you post, that won't change...especially with this kind of guy.

And if not that, certainly in wisdom.

Simply a form of narrowmindedness and hatefulness really.

At the same time you ignore anything of value in what was said, either by the quoted author, the poster or myself. Instead, you like to live in the bubble of your alleged reality and all-knowing wisdom. There simply is no having a conversation with you.

These are not good traits. They are not even good traits for survival.

We joke that you lot can't find fresh Hillary hate stories without squeegeeing crud from rightwing websites... and here you are! There are forums that debate his rightwing conspiracy theories and he's quite popular with Alex Jones fans. He boasts that he's some sort of financial guru even he went to drama school and only briefly worked part time on Wall Street, but he recommends buying gold because... the end is nigh!

C'mon... didn't you get even a teesy bit suspicisous when he says stuff like "Trump’s (few) weaknesses"???

I've been following Max Keiser since the 1990's when he spoke on "The Oracle" each week. He worked in Wall Street in the 80's and has been analyzing first hand the experience of what casino type trading has done all these years, due to de-regulation. He and his co-host and now wife continue a program that is used on RT (which I do not get, but all of us can visit on the internets). I've gone to his website, "The Keiser Report" for years since.

Check out people? You should maybe take your own advice.

Thanks for kicking my post again!

The guy is a gold shill...and 9-11 Truther...so I don't care how long you listen to the guy...he is not an expert on anything. I see no point in your post other than to broadcast your hatred of Hillary and your indifference to the fact that 30 years of progressive work will be wiped out should Trump win ( and you sure sound like you are rooting for Trump) and pack the courts...and you scraped the bottom of the barrel with this guy in my opinion. Bernie Sanders is one guy who lost a primary...not a good reason to destroy the progressive movement.

Nice try, but that is not what this guy is about. He also interviews guests from all financial walks of life in the entire world of finance, but the first part of his program is to discuss real financial news. The second part of his show is where guests come TO his talk about things you'd never had heard of, unless you work in the world of finance. E's even had numerous people tout bitcoin. You want to say now that I believe the news about bitcoin? Nice swing and a miss there...

Anyway, thanks again for kicking my post!

That shows a lot of arrogance with your comrade comment to anyone that insinuates anything pointed out like this is not to be tolerated but, "for a few weeks longer". Do you hear yourself?

If you find the notion that Hillary will be easily defeated by Drumpf so offensive, then perhaps you should look into the reason anyone would say this on a Democratic Discussion Board. The entirety of it stares you right in the face. You don't need to deal a characture to judge the acceptability of the message. What is this? Are we in the novel, 1984?

The one on Hillary (the presumptive democratic nominee) is something she has never remotely said, and a clear negative frame.

This is posted on democratic underground.
