Poll Numbers the #Trump enigma

Poll Numbers

Poll numbers of the presidential hopefuls are all over the map. The media has been wrong since the inception of the Trump enigma. They have been wrong because and not unlike most politicians they have not figured into the equation how pissed off most Americans are at this administration and politicians as a whole.

The Democrats have been whacked in two successive campaigns and Obama looks at that and I quote “I hear you, you want me to keep going.” Instead of the truth of the matter; No, we want you to stop and turn around, you are taking us over the cliff!

Nobody could be this stupid, so I can only guess that with his pen and the phone, by-passing the House the Senate and the “people” is his way of doing those things which are so far out of his purview to do, that even the far left would dis-approve if they were not chained to the liberal agenda.

Politics interest me, as I have said in the past, this is all about manipulating the voters.

Democrats are pretty good at it and here is why I say this.

California is bankrupt, has some of the highest taxes in the country, hugely in debt with absolutely no rainy day fund, tons of crime and run solely by liberals. Chicago has some of the highest crime rates in the country with some of the toughest gun laws and is run by democrats. Detroit is just about a ghost town because of one failed progressive set of leaders, one after another and yes, liberals.

The voters are the people who suffer as the progressive leaders still live the life of luxury, and blame the conservatives, even though cities where conservatives run the city are thriving. The voters who voted liberal philosophies, in their cities and watched them go down the tube. If they have the ability move out where do they go; to red states where conservatives are and then do what, try to change it by voting their same old stupid way of progressive thinking! Don’t you ever learn!? Is liberalism a mental disorder?!

I would point out that Hitler was elected.

We as a people can no longer be afforded the luxury to sleep through this process. While most of the people are charmed with social media, and all of the gadgets that we have, the progressive agenda is alive and well. Bernie Sanders is a Socialist, and is gaining in popularity over Hillary. Young folks today have no idea what Socialism is and equate it with “free stuff!” Hillary Clinton the other day proposed making it legal for 16 year olds to vote. Is she that damned desperate that she needs the pimple faced easily persuaded children to vote!? YES, she needs those votes as well as the illegals as well as the convicts in prison, and even the dead!

Socialism only works until you are out of free stuff, and then someone like Stalin appears and the masses starve to death while the Stalin’s of the world sit back and watch from the tops of their ivory towers, sipping Champaign; and thinking with fewer people there will be less demand.

Trump is literally sucking the air out of the room. The people are paying attention to him. He is flamboyant and is saying what folks want to hear.

Does he believe what he says?

One of the things that interest me about him is, that there is no benefit for him to run for president. It takes a toll on your health, he already has ivory towers to perch upon. He can have the best of the best and most probably does, so why run for a job that pays $174K a year?

All of the other candidates have that “want the ivory tower experience” as part of their motivation. All of the other candidates would owe their allegiance to whoever their contributors were. Trump needs nobody’s money.

I think that the only thing that could screw Donald Trump up now would be if some other flamboyant billionaire decided to run on the other ticket. Those guys however typically get others to do their dirty work, so I don’t see that happening.

We still have a long way to go, and Trump could get bored of the media attention so it is still anyone’s game.

If I were the other candidates I think I would leave sparring with the Don off the table.

Mr. Trump did not get where he is today by putting up with crap from anyone so, I don’t think you stand a chance playing on his field.

My advice to the other candidates is to not engage him in any way. He thrives off of stuff like that and you won’t win. State your case, why you think you are they best for the job and stay in your weight class. Your only hope of winning is if Donald gets bored, and figures out that there is no financial gain for him.

To Mr. Trump, I hope you are serious and that you can find humility in your demeanor, as this is job for a serious contender. A person like Reagan or even Washington. A person who really does not want the job; but loves the country and the people enough to sacrifice 4 plus years of their life to put us back on track.

It really is about character, not charisma, or color, or ethnic makeup.

Political Correctness, All lives matter and Trump

Political Correctness

Americans are being duped by a complicit media and a very progressive bunch of politicians that PC is the new accepted way to speak.

In other blogs, I have spoken about how politicians “manage” the voters, PC speak is yet one more way of manipulating you.

Progressives hate the 1st amendment which says: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Political correctness abridges your freedom of speech and the technicality in that is, that congress is not enacting it, you are by allowing yourself to be shamed for thinking anything other than the progressive agenda.

So, to those out there that are afraid to say that “all lives matter,” shame on you!

“ALL LIVES MATTER!”

If you think about it, white folks are not “white” in the truest sense of the word, they are pink or as I like to say, as an artist; a mixture of titanium white, yellow ochre and a little alizarin crimson.. You will notice that those are all colors, or as my European friends type it “colours!” Beneath that very thin veneer of pigmentation, we are all red…

This is my main problem with the NAACP. How has this group been allowed to exists? To me, that is a very racist group and needs to be abolished as does any group that promotes one breed or race of human over another.

If I were to go out and create the NAAWF, Al Sharpton and every other race baiter out there would be calling for my head on a stick! Mob mentality would surely rule. Indeed, it would be every bit as racest as the NAACP

“White is a color!”

The next president of this great nation needs to recognize that white is a color too, and find ways to mend the fences between the people of this nation. Diversity is one of the things that make America a great nation, and looking at the evidence, this president has gone out of his way to tear this country apart; picking at race, much like picking at a scab, is an easy way to do it. A lot of white folks voted for Obama so he has no ground on which to stand, regarding his assertions.

I would call for the disbanding of the NAACP! I would also call for the disbanding of any remnant of the KKK. The Confederate Flag is much more than a symbol of race and to target it as the cause for the hate from one young person who is mentally ill, is a huge miss-direction of the problem, and I would guess some politician somewhere thought, directing the anger of the people to something that is inanimate would be much easier than allowing the growing divide between the races to be the “focal point” as this young person wanted!

We have more that unit us, than divide us but yet, we focus on that which is most destructive rather than those things that bond us a people. It is past time for change; and we the people need to lead by example.

The Trump Enigma

I have followed Donald Trump for years.

Why? Simple, anyone that is that successful is worth studying.

How did he get there, what did he do to get there, how does he continue to do it?

Unlike most of the Billionaires’, Trump is more transparent thus, I believe that most of his business dealings are more transparent than say those of the Koch Brothers, or Mr. Soros.

Trump is a shaker and a mover and not afraid to make decisions.

His recent flip remarks about John McCain were just that, flip remarks and if you listen, he was entertaining an audience. The audience loved him. His remarks were not PC but I seriously doubt that he meant any dis-respect to the veterans. As the matter of fact, he is fighting for them by all accounts.

Much like any comedian is not PC, Trump had them laughing; and I think took on the role of entertainer, as much as dealing with Frank Luntz. Trump is no stranger to the lime light, so this is very likely the case.

So why is the media, and most of the GOP; and even the White House weighing in on this?

I am including this on this particular blog because this goes to the heart of the topic at hand… PC…

Can you imagine if you had to carefully weigh each and every thought that came out of your mouth? Each and every utterance is subjected to some sort of litmus test, of how it will poll! How will the masses respond to it? What will the media do with it? What will your opponents do with it? How will they spin it to make you look undesirable?

Take no prisoners!

One of the things that attracted me to Chris Christie is his outspoken demeanor. As the matter of fact, that happens to be one of the reasons I like Joe Biden. Obama talks from carefully written speeches prepared for him by someone from the bowels of the white house and it is only when he goes off script, can you get a sense of who he is.

I believe that whoever is pulling his strings, could make Barney Fife look presidential, as long as he can read and emote….

Donald Trump however; has no “string pullers.” Donald has “no handlers.” Donald is the “real deal” who is far from perfect but, he is who he is, and is not some puppet propped up in front a teleprompter to sell you on the idea that feces is actually edible, and you can trust it if the government puts a stamp of approval on it!

The rest of the hopefuls get their funding from people who would normally bet on the horses, which horse will come in first. They are always in campaign mode to get more money, as becoming president is a high stakes game!

Donald owes nobody anything! If Donald says that if you vote for him that he will take care of the veterans, he has nobody but the voters to answer to! No political favors to repay!

In my humble opinion, that is why the media, and the other politicians are running scared! Donald is a loose cannon in their eyes. He cannot be controlled by those who support him financially, because he does not need their money!

We know that he is smart, and a hell of a business man. How will he deal with Putin? Will he take his shirt off and ride some horse in the middle of the forest with a rifle in one hand and some dead animal in the other to show the Russians that he too has “balls!”

I think it is time we elect someone with balls, and not necessarily anatomical balls; just someone who can stand up to the world leaders and, flip them off if need be. I am not suggesting a truculent attitude towards the other leaders in other countries, but i am suggesting that it is time for another Reagan. We really need another “tear down this wall” moment.

Trump

As a science fiction writer it should be no small surprise that my focus is usually physics or other science things instead of politics.

Yes, I write about things that I notice that I think might be helpful but, I would much rather be talking about “Space, the final frontier…”

If we as a world did not have to spend so much money and time on all of the BS in this world, that we currently do, life would be so much better.

Instead of spending billions on wars, entitlements and bailing out other countries; we could be doing meaningful things like they are doing at CERN.

Russia and the US and other countries have a space station for Pete Sake!

Tonight I broke routine and watched the news. I usually do not watch too much if any TV, because I am a firm believer in Garbage in Garbage out. Too much Garbage in the form of “entertainment” that comes from Hollywood and we as a country nay a people, are consumed with it and controlled by it.

We have people who know everything about who is sleeping with whom in Hollywood, but have no idea who the VP is.

Watching trends in Twitter, you can see where people are focused, usually stupid shit!

Trending top on the list currently is USMNT (soccer). At least it is not about someone sleeping with someone.

Politics fascinates me only in that it is full of lies, half-truths and manipulation usually aided by Hollywood and the media. Hillary for example has a list as long as your arm of untruthful tales that she has told. She and her husband are the King and Queen of prevarication and yet 47% of the country will vote for her because 47% are Democrats and that is what people do. People vote the party rather than character. It takes little thought process to pull the D lever…

What is interesting to me however is not Hillary. She is part of a dynasty that we know all too well, and yet because of name recognition she stands a good chance of winning the Democratic nomination. The person who currently interest me is Trump.

The Donald

Donald interest me in that he is taking a huge financial hit for basically speaking his mind. Now think about this for one second. Obama has handlers which basically tell him every word or utterance that comes out of his mouth. Without his teleprompter and his ability to read with feeling, he would be lost.

I find it fascinating that both the democrats and the republicans, are attacking Trump!

The media, both sides are attacking Trump.

How refreshing would it be to have someone in the White House that is not owned by special interest, lobbyist on Ave K, and of course handlers!

The more that he is trashed by the republicans, the more that I like him. I was surprised to see Governor Perry trash talk him. I know it is a political move but Perry has been dealing with these issues a long time. He knows firsthand what we as a country face.

The simple facts are that we have some serious problems to deal with, and it is going to take serious people to solve them. The debates should prove interesting as the republicans tear one another apart, doing the job for the democrats.

We are already hearing about stuff that Bernie Sanders (the other democrat) wrote 40 years ago or so regarding cervical cancer and why women get so much of it. I am certain that was leaked by the Hillary campaign; Bernie is actually getting traction. He is a Socialist, left of Obama and is gaining traction!

The game is afoot and the next 16 months ought to be interesting if you follow such things.

If not, keep in mind that we are close to getting our probe to Pluto, so there will be more “science” to talk about instead of politics.

Sleep tight, another day is around the corner and more “stuff” will happen; giving us much to talk about.
