The Biden problem for the Oval Office - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " Concerns inside White House about possible Joe Biden candidacy "

Lets Get Real:

The Oval Office has placed its future in the hands of Hillary Clinton, a Clinton Campaign can distance itself if the Obama polls go down, that is not the case with a run by the Vice-President.  The Biden Campaign team would want to make sure the White House did not cause problems for Biden when it comes to policy, so no risky policy moves that would cause the Vice - President to seek some distance from Obama.    This blog thinks Hillary Clinton could do with a real campaign, she is not that good on the campaign, a real threat to her nomination would make her fight hard for the prize.   A Biden win 2016 would place Obama up there with Reagan, yes dear voter it is that important to the White House. 

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. 

David Miliband on Corbyn - Election 2016

Daily Mail: Reports " Britain could become a 'one governing party state' with the Tories ALWAYS in power if Jeremy Corbyn wins, warns David Miliband  "

Lets Get Real:

Mr Miliband senior speaks the truth to the Labour Party, for this blog a one party State under the Conservatives would be fantastic, but if you're  a true Democrat you want to see a good opposition keeping the any government on its heels.   A Corbyn Labour Party would cause a civil war within Labour after a few weeks, the majority of the UK population is never going to be as left wing as a Corbyn Labour Party.   Thus real Labour voters have to vote for either Ms Cooper or Liz Kendall,  a vote for Andy Burnham would give the Labour Party five more years of  a Northern Ed Miliband.   The Labour Party faces a choice either get real or be thrown in to the dustbin of politics.  That is the choice for Labour. 

Donald Trump and Immigration - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he wants to end the automatic right to citizenship for all children born in the United States. "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that Mr Trump wants to rip up the US Constitution to get the Republican nomination for President.    This flawed policy should make sure who ever is the Democrat nominee has a easy run to the Oval Office.   There are million of illegal immigrants in the US, you can not throw them out, this would tear families apart, and is against the spirit of the US.   The Democrats should  hit Trump hard over this policy, they should be followed by the other Republican candidates, Trump is a joke as a candidate, the problem is that he might win. 

Burnham Waffle - Labour Leadership Contest

Telegraph: Reports " Andy Burnham: Labour's base has crumbled - we can't take anything for granted now..Andy Burnham, once the favourite to lead Labour, says his formidable rival Jeremy Corbyn isn't to blame for the party's crisis  "

Lets Get Real:

One gets the impression that Mr Burnham is a Northern Ed Miliband, the favourite at the start of the election he has seen his base of support move to Mr Corbyn.    IF Andy Burnham had fire in his belly it has gone very quite, you have to want the Labour leadership and you do what you have to do when it comes to taking the prize,  that means getting your hands dirty if you want to lead.    IF this blog had a choice it would be Liz Kendall, she comes from the right wing of the Party, but that base has become narrowed after Gordon Brown came in to power.   Interesting month ahead for Labour. 

Brown to ATTACK Corbyn !! - Labour Leadership Contest

Guardian: Reports " Gordon Brown to speak on Labour leadership as MPs panic over Corbyn..Labour MPs – among whom support for Corbyn is low – pushing for an intervention from Brown, who they believe has more credibility than Tony Blair "

Lets Get Real:

Lets see if former Prime Minister Gordon Brown can BRING the Labour Party to its senses, the former PM was very effective in Scotland when they had their vote if they wanted to remain part of the UK.   THE question is has the old New Labour hands left it to late to change the course of the leadership election.   The BIG MO is behind Corbyn, it almost like the Labour Party has given up on government for the future and is looking to be politically pure.   THERE is a cost to being pure, you're not in government and its not fun being in the opposition for two decades. 

New Labour Attacks Corbyn - Labour Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn is the political version of SUSAN BOYLE who people feel they 'have to back', says Alastair Campbell  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Mr Campbell strikes, his article of yesterday and now this, the old New Labour creators must be really worried, they have the Iraq Report to come and and now this, one can see Mr Corbyn throwing Blair etc out of the Labour Party if the Iraq report is damaging. If you're a Conservative you are having a good time, Labour tearing itself apart, lets have more fun, one can only wish that Mr Corbyn wins, then the Conservative Party will not face any real opposition in till 2025.  Even if one of the others win the Party has moved to the left, being left might make the Labour Party members happy but it will not win elections.  There is an old saying, be careful for what you wish for, it might happen.
