>As of 9:00 this evening, Mr. Trump has shown no signs of “Trexit”, heading not, my earnest advice. (Big surprise!). Despite a golden opportunity to punt, it looks like he’s going to run the ball on the fourth down. So, with this in mind I thought we might take a common sense look at the “scoreboard” as it stands at
In this essay I’d like to take a look at the Trump vs. Hillary “scoreboard” as it appears at the end of the “third quarter.” I will endeavor to leave out the b.s., so we’ll call it a “Common Sense Scoreboard.” Let’s see, we’ve learned, from a leaked 10 year old interview, that: 1) Mr. Trump, not in mixed company,
Dear readers, >If you have read my posts over the past few days, you’ll know that I am now advocating for Mr. Donald Trump to step down as Republican candidate for the Presidency and turn his energetic but flawed campaign over to Governor Mike Pence. (See “Win One For The Gipper” from 10/9/16). I will refer to this call for
>Numerous Republican Senators and Congressmen have, “boldly” and self righteously, raised their collective voices in a cacophonous chorus: “We Won’t Support Trump.” This slogan can be heard coming from the political rafters. While a small fraction of this chorus may be motivated by true moral indignation, the overwhelming majority is motivated, I believe, by the instinct for survival. Mr. Trump,
>The Democrats have worked very hard, right from the beginning, to make this election cycle a war of words. The reasons for this are straight forward: 1) Words are Hillary’s ONLY asset. She has NO positive record to run on. She has NO cogent plan for our nation’s most serious problems. And she has NO charisma. Words are truly her
>Some degree of political bias is probably inevitable in political reporting. When a reporter and his or her editor present material (in print or on video) of a political nature, it’s hard to see how some degree of preference or value judgement can be totally expunged. However, the blatant bias we see in main stream media coverage of this election
>You can tell that the 2016 presidential race has become VERY tight by one simple observation, and I don’t mean the polling averages. What I’m referring to is the increasing intensity of the invective hurled at Mr. Trump by: 1) The Clinton Campaign, 2) The Democratic Party, 3) college students, 4) Muslim Groups, 5) Liberals/Progressives in general, and, 6) The
Dear reader, >Please forgive the double entendre in the title. (I couldn’t resist!). Now, having said that, I really do have more on Kaine. More to discuss, that is. >In addition to advocating a continuation of the Obama/Clinton policies that have so weakened our country (both economically and militarily) Mr. Kaine is not terribly good at choosing his friends either.
>Well, I have to say, that he didn’t disappoint. He lived up to ALL my expectations! Yes sir, Mr. Tim Kaine came through like a trooper! >Dear readers, in my post yesterday (Can’t Shake It) I confessed a sneaky suspicion that Mr. Kaine was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. That, despite an impressive resumè, he didn’t strike
>I just can’t shake it….I just can’t talk myself out of it! Even with the vice presidential debate coming up this evening, there’s something I just can’t ignore about Democrat Vice Presidential Candidate, Tim Kaine. And it’s rather surprising that I can’t shake it, because, “on paper”, it shouldn’t be so. What I’m referring to is the creeping suspicion I
