Do you believe all, part or none of what Bennett relates or that he even said it? To me it may or may not be exaggerated but it does have a ring of truth to the educated ear. heck it may be even understated.

I received this as an e-mail but there was not a cited authority as a reference. However, I share it because there are many forces publicly attempting to remove Trump from the campaign. The author's description of our corrupt and compromised political system is well established

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency

By Bill Bennett

They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don't be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.

It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We're the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared.

The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won't change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone. There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help. That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed.

Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They survey everything.

Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you're a good old boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump.

Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.

Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That's why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth

I had thought that Trump wouldnt live to be president but with the backing that he has and the fact that people are smarter and fed up with the country I dont think he would be killed. The powers working behind the senses know that something happens to him the could go into a civil war sorta speak. No they will just keep trying to discredit him. What will be worse if he does run independent and we end up with a democrat but in that case I dont think it will matter.Every thing is already been predetermined.

Dear Guest: Apparently both he and Ben Carson had multiple serious threats that they were provided with bodyguards compliments of Uncle Sam.

I do not believe Trump would be assassinated but it is obvious GOP Establishment is so done with him that they want to broker the convention.

What I find delusional about the GOP Establishment is that they haven't figured out that conservatives voters are becoming so alienated and distrustful of their party leaders that a guy like Trump can rule.

Its why I believe there is truth in the Bill Bennett piece

Personal Best Regards:

If given a choice between Trump and the criminal Hilary, I believe that most voters will hold their nose and cast their vote for Trump. They may not like it, but they know what it will be like if Hilary is elected. Another 8 years of American regression.

Do not worry. The choices will be among some traditional G'Noper like Bush, an independent loon (Trump), and Hillary Clinton. Hillary wins! America wins AGAIN!!

Don't forget that Barack Obama won TWICE. Americans preferred him over your McCain and Romney. We now will have our first female President!!!

And the Dems will have proven once more that they are ruled by avarice, not for country. They will also prove once again that their decision making is equivalent of the monkey that they think they evolved from. They will also prove once again that they chose the worst possible candidate, first black failure and then again with the first woman failure. Democrats have no scruples, no morals and no ethics and will elect a criminal for no other reason than to win, regardless of damage to the country. Marion Barry(drug head and mayor of D.C.) was proof that their judgement is impaired. And Dems are so stupid that they rejoice in their ignorance and are proud of it. What a pathetic group, well deserving of the communism that they are working so hard to produce. Thank goodness my father is dead and can't see how far his party has regressed.

And you should either grow up if you wish to sit at the adult table, or go outside and play with the other kids.

i have read that Bill Bennett did not actually write this piece, but it is totally possible that it has some truth to it, nonetheless. let us hope the primary and the election are both run in an honorable way.

...and yet another Reactionary Republican who has smoked too much wacky tabakky. Seems to be a lot of them - but actually it is the Gang of Three talking to each other. Too bad their Gang of Six got demented and now is down to Three.

Not my post but did I understand you correctly calling this forum "the adult table"?

Sounds just like many conspiracy theorists...some truth, but mostly nuts.

It's not the Republicans that need your "wacky tabakky" as you call it. That is a liberal thing. Funny how liberals ALWAYS accuse the right of doing all the things that they fight so desperately for on the left. Next thing you will be doing is accusing us of abortion. Liberals seem to be on acid trips 24/7. The reason that there may be less conservatives on here now is because you trolls have come down to the Villages forum where you don't belong and have succeeded in chasing them away with your juvenile blather and childish name calling. You aren't allowed on the rest of the forums, only the political "anonymous" forum. You are just a small contingent of usually one or two, but run amok like the spoiled children you are. You act like you don't like it on here, but find that no one else will give you the attention that you so childishly need. Well, you got your attention, so why don't you quit embarrassing yourself and go play with kids your own age.

Dear Guest: I may have been one of those few back in the day that did not drop out, did not believe in free love and did not do drugs. Because I was too busy first serving my country. Then married and at the time of my discharge busy raising a family, working days and going to college nights.

I am against the legal recreational use of marijuana because I believe it is both physically and psychologically harmful to people and unfortunately witnessed the affects first hand having served on Board of Directors for an organization assisting youth...and so I have no sense of humor with comments such as wacky tabakky.

Dear Guest: Yes I agree I made that disclaimer when I originally posted the piece and began this thread. It is clear that this nation has its share of corruption to wit the two recent conviction of New York state politicians and the son of one the senators, Hillary & bill, etc.

Our saving grace is our U S Constitution, the rule of law and ethical and moral people who continue to beat down these barbarians at our gates.

Big money contributors want bang for their buck and will do anything I dare say to get what they want. Its what climate change is all about "big money" and power...no not the energy kind the controlling other people kind

The GOP Establishment is out of touch if they believe voters will stand for their brokering at the convention.
