Trump and Wisconsin - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports on the failure of Donald Trump to gain support in Wisconsin and his constant attacks on Governor Walker, a Republican, the article notes the following, " Trump's decision to repeatedly attack Walker has angered large portions of the party base and left many political analysts dumbfounded. Despite his early exit from the national contest, the governor remains an immensely popular figure among Wisconsin Republicans...."

Lets Get Real:

IN politics you do not burn future allies, after Governor Walker got out of the Republican race the Trump Campaign should have tried to get a peace deal and the support of the Governor, the Campaign should have stated that Walker was up for VP if Trump become the nominee.    In one thing Trump has said that is TRUE, he is a new pol, he is new to the game, but he is a rich pol. he should have hired the best staff and after winning a few States and made less critical remarks about Walker and other subjects.  Thus this blog ends up supporting Cruz in Wisconsin, it is  a odd World. 

Is Doctor Ben Carson a racist? - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " US Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson says he does not believe a Muslim should become president. "

Lets Get Real:

The above remark is racist, one will be interested to see if the liberal press in the US go after Carson because of the remark, the liberal press is loathed to go after African - Americans if they say something racist, of course the exception could be if its a Republican African - American.   This blog had moved to support Dr Carson after the last debate, that is revoked, one should judge a candidate for President by his or her character, not the colour of their skin or what faith the follow.   Thus this blog is going back to supporting Jeb Bush, just wish Bush had more fire in the belly.   Otherwise at the end if its a choice between Trump or Clinton, this blog will support HRC. 

Trump leads after Republican Debate - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " The survey finds Trump with the support of 24% of Republican registered voters. "

Lets Get Real:

Donald Trump is still leading the Republican pack after the debate, with Jeb Bush 2nd on 13%, while third is Doctor Ben Carson on 9%.   One does not have to be that clever to see that Republicans want a non political type to be their nominee for President.   But this and reality are two different things, a candidate needs to have a staff operation in Iowa for the first real test of the Republican field.  As noted in my previous post the Bush Campaign is buying air time in the early States, will the Donald use his 10 BILLION to fight back, and how will his immigration policy go down with the rest of the Country, those illegal immigrants and their legal friends and family can be expected to vote against Trump in 2016.   There is no way the US will throw out millions of illegal immigrants and split those families, that would have appalled President Reagan.   This is why Trump is not fit to be President. 

Trump vs. The Bush Super Pac - Election 2016

Guardian: Reports " Jeb Bush backers to spend at least $10m on TV ads in early voting states..‘Eight-figure’ buy is Right to Rise USA’s first big expense as Super Pac plans promotional spots in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina "

Lets Get Real:

The Bush Super Pac should start to hit Donald Trump, his views on women as shown by the Kelly row shows that he will turn off half the population, also the Pac should force Trump to spend HIS money.   As the article notes the Bush Pac has over a hundred million with change, so force the Donald to spend his 10 billion in the race, he might be a great business man but his thin skin shows that he is not fit to be President.    Everyone with that amount of money has enemies, the Bush Pac should go after them, leak damaging stories to the press, since the press is obsessed with the Trump they will run with the stories.   The Bush and Walker Camps need to hit Trump hard before its to late in the Campaign. 

Jeb Bush on Donald Trump - Election 2016

Telegraph: Reports the following, " Jeb Bush 'called Donald Trump an a******' in private rant..

According to a report Mr Bush made disparaging remarks about his rival for the Republican presidential nomination "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that Jeb Bush might not be ready for prime time, if the above is true is shows that Governor Bush allows others to get under his skin, Donald Trump was supposed to have blown it  by now, but he still in the race.   It depends how Trump and Bush do tonight, after his mistakes with Clinton and Trump, one would think that Governor Bush would be more careful and not allow the big persona of Tumper to get under his skin.   Lets recall Bush 41 was Vice - President to Ronald Reagan and was a very loyal VP, being in that spot means always being in the shadow of POTUS.  It was rewarded with the Presidency in 1988, Jeb Bush should learn from his father.  The attack dog of any campaign in the Vice - President, the candidates have to shown they want the job but also that they can be Presidential. 

The Two Republican Debate - Election 2016

Fox News: There are two Republican debates tonight, one at 5pm and one at 9pm, the main one is at 9pm, this has ten of the candidates with the best poll ratings with Republicans, the article states the following on the first debate, " Syndicated columnist and Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York wrote that the 5 p.m. debate provides opportunities for candidates for several reasons. Namely, Trump won't be on the stage dominating attention, it will be less personality-driven, and the winner of the debate will get momentum.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog will be watching both debates to see how Governor Perry does in the first debate, after his disaster the last time when he could not name the Government Departments he wanted to close down, lets hope he is up to speed, he could be a real challenge if he ups his game tonight.  Then we come to the main EVENT, how will Donald Trump do with the rest of the pack at his heels, will he remain cool, and above the fight or will he allow the other candidates to get under his skin.   Also it is time for Governor Jeb Bush to show he can hack it, he has gotten in to a fight with HRC that did not need to happen, he has to to ready to take the fight to Trump, or Senator Rubio could come from behind as the main challenge to Trump.  The Debate is late in the UK, you will need a lot of coffee, its a two hour debate.  

Trump LEADS Republican Field in a new Poll

CNN - Politics: Reports " The new CNN/ORC Poll finds Trump at 18% support among Republicans, with former Florida governor Jeb Bush just behind at 15%, within the poll's margin of error. "

Lets Get Real:

It is early voter, no need to worry yet, one can see the ego of Trump fraying after months on the Campaign trail, and then there are the debates to go through.   The Republicans should choose either Governors Bush or Walker as their nominee, this blog favours Jeb Bush, he has been a Governor and has a family that he can fall back on in a crisis.   Thus watch the race its fun, the serious business starts later on in the year. 

What does the US voter think of the Iran Deal - Iran Deal

CNN - Politics: Reports " Because President Obama has already pledged to veto any bill to block the deal GOP leaders would need to convince enough Democrats to join with them to override his veto -- a heavy lift. How the public views the deal will be critical, as Members of Congress will be back home for several weeks this summer before any vote. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republican supporting groups should start to pay for adverts in the seats of Democrats, just show old footage film from the 1930s with the picture of Neville Chamberlain morphing in to President Obama, Jewish groups who support Republicans should start to hit the emails, phones, web forums to get the point over that Obama is following the appeasement policy of Chamberlain and of his Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax in the 21st Century.   The Republicans will not win but the can make any Obama victory look hollow.   Winning and being right are not the same thing, history is against Obama, it will help Republican candidates in 2016. 

The reality of a NO vote by Congress - Iran Deal

Guardian: Reports on the real impact of a symbolic no vote by Congress, " While a vote of disapproval – based on anything less than a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate – would not kill the deal, it would undermine it politically, raising difficult questions about the longevity of Washington’s commitment to an accord intended to last at least 15 years...Such a result would also embolden Republican contenders for the White House, such as Florida senator Marco Rubio and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, who are making bold pledges about their reimposing sanctions to unwind the deal if they are elected. "

Lets Get Real:

That is the flaw in the Obama governing strategy, this blog support a strong Presidency, but when Obama leaves office in 2017 the could hand over to a Republican who with a stroke of a pen could throw the Obama legacy out of the window on the first day.   Also Obama does not control Israel and the Gulf States, they could form an un-official partnership to take out the Tehran nuclear plants and other buildings and Obama will not be able to do a dam thing about it,  in less Obama is 100% sure of a Democratic President, he playing with history, and history can bite back, Churchill guided the UK to victory in World War 2, but was thrown out of office in 1945, and Winston Churchill was great, Obama is up his own hubris. 

Is Gov Scott Walker the new Reagan? - Election 2016

The New York Times: Reports the following on  Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin,  a Republican candidate for President in 2016, " Expressing reverence for Reagan has been almost a requirement for Republican presidential candidates since 1988, but Mr. Walker has taken to it like an apostle to his creed. As he prepares a White House run, and envisions competing against candidates named Bush and Clinton,.. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog sees Governor Walker being a good VP for Jeb Bush, the right wing would be happy. he has taken on the Unions in Wisconsin and faced a recall election pushed by Democrats.   As for being POTUS it can be argued that Walker needs few years of national attention before running for the Republican nomination, lets recall the Great Reagan won the Republican nomination at his third attempt, Reagan ran as a dark horse candidate in 1968 and nearly took the nomination from President Ford in 1976, also Reagan views were well known by 1980, this is not the case with Walker.   As the nightmare of the Obama Presidency has shown, you need a few years at the national level so your views can be tested and be seen to be the answer to the problems faced by voters.   Thus Walker for VP under a Bush nomination for President. 

48% Job Disapproval for POTUS - Gallup

Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking on the job performance of President Obama, today its bad news for the Oval, President Obama has a 45% Approval rating, while 48% of adult Americans Disapprove of the Obama record.

Lets Get Real:

The Oval faces a crisis it cant deal with folks, that is the Euro, if Greece leaves the Euro and Spain needs a major bailout, then the US will get hit. If business thinks between ObamaCare and its tax hikes, the new Obama business regulations, and the fact that the US cant help with the Euro crisis it might be safer not to hire that out of work person, as the costs will eat up any profit margin. Also a blue State of Wisconsin has shown that it will re-elect a right wing Governor who slashed public spending and stood up to the Unions, not good for the Oval. Also a dark horse crisis could be an independent investigation in to the recent national security leaks, this does recall the last season of the West Wing, don't the people in the White House recall what happened to Toby, the threat of prison for leaking security material, one can assume that Obama wont pardon anyone if the leaks get to close to the Oval.

Mothers Milk of US Politics = MONEY

BBC News: Reports that Governor Romney the Republican Nominee for the Presidency raised seventeen million dollars more than President Obama in May.

Lets Get Real:

It what makes the system go around folks, raising and spending more money that the other Campaign does not mean you WIN but it helps, just ask Governor Walker of Wisconsin. The real money will be in the Super Pacs folks, this forthcoming election will be fun for the VERY, VERY rich in US. One can expect liberals with the help of their arts friends to raise millions for Democrats and President Obama, Wall Street on the other is fed up with the Obama regulations of its workings, thus expect big money to flow in to Romney and Republican Super Pacs. At the end of the day folks its about the message, what do US voters want, a European broken welfare system, or a US that allow people to aim for riches, it is that simple folks. This is a major election for Americans, will they return to the Reagan model of small government, low taxes, and excellent defence, or follow the liberal path of President Obama, the future of the US hangs on the answers of US voters.

Is Walker Romney’s VP

Guardian Live - Wisconsin: Reports the prospects of a VP slot for Governor Walker, the article states the following, “ Republicans have been talking about him as a future presidential candidate for some time – and he has now shot into the party's superstar league. ”.

Lets Get Real:

It has to be a serious consideration folks, Governor Walker has had the kitchen sink thrown at him by the Democrats, thus he has been through the elite review and they could not sink him. In the VP debates he could take on VP Biden, and ask a simple question, how many jobs have you created, how many Unions have you taken on, when have you stood up to the liberal base of the Democratic Party. The Unions and the Democrats would go bonkers with such a choice, the Tea Party movement would support the choice. Thus the Romney Campaign should think about this, also the Governor gave a very good victory speech, VP Walker does have a ring to it folks.

Bill Clinton vs. Obama - The Real Fight

Telegraph: Reports that former President Clinton has stabbed President Obama in the back with remarks stating that the Bush 43 tax cuts should be kept, the article states the following, “ That makes him the most senior liberal in the nation to cast doubt on Obama’s economic strategy. ”. As the Oval wants to repeal the Bush 43 tax cuts for the wealthy.

Lets Get Real:

If the Oval really thinks that Bill Clinton wants Obama to win November then they need a stiff drink. The only game that interests Bill Clinton is getting back in to power, end of subject. Also lets be very direct here, the former President will never forgive Obama for using the race card on him in 2008. Thus Bill Clinton is playing an excellent game, on the one hand he is loyal to Obama, doing TV adverts for him, on the other he calls Romney’s business record sterling, also states that the Bush 43 tax cuts should be kept, in essence folks he is the Iceberg to Obama’s Titanic, doing damage below the surface, Obama should bench Clinton for the rest of the season, that is the best advice Obama is ever going to get from this blog.

Wisconsin Recall - Result

BBC News: Reports that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker won his recall fight with 53% of the vote, while his Democratic opponent Mayor Tom Barrett gained 46%.

Lets Get Real:

Folks this is a great day if you’re a Conservative, it shows that Conservative politicians can take on the power of the Unions and win. The Governor has cut public spending in the State and revoked the great Union deals, this had turned the State around, the State is now is surplus, while previously it had large deficits. One has to think could there be a Romney/Walker Ticket in 2012. The Democrats will go bonkers, but the Tea Party movement will rally behind Romney. The US and Wisconsin won last night folks, the losers were the Unions and the Democrats.
