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. 

The Day of the Wisconsin Vote - Election 2016

The New York Times: Reports " Wisconsin’s highly engaged voters routinely post some of the highest turnout numbers in presidential elections. On Tuesday, they will play an important role in both major-party nominating contests.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Primary fight in Wisconsin will show if Trump can bounce back from a bad week, the mess of his abortions views and his disaster on the future of NATO shows that Donald is unfit for the Oval Office, even Obama has not doubted NATO in public and it is a given that Hillary Clinton could be more hawkish when it comes to foreign policy.   This is time for the anti Trump Establishment to help push Cruz in to victory, a contested convention would be a disaster for the Republicans, either Trump or Cruz have to win, it can be argued that either will be defeated in the general election.    Out of a population of three hundred million the US has ended up with either Trump, Cruz or Clinton for President, how far can a State fall. 

Trump BURN OUT!! - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican front-runner Donald Trump has said he would easily win the Republican nomination if John Kasich drops out of the contest. "

Lets Get Real:

The quick victory that both Trump and Clinton wanted has been delayed by the stubborn opposition of Cruz and Kasich on the Republican side, and Senator Sanders in the Democratic case.   The Dem race is an illusion, Clinton will be the nominee, the Sanders campaign is just a fly in the Clinton web, it does not matter in the long term.   This can not be said of the Republican side, the very FACT that Cruz and Kasich staying in the race means that Trump might not get the majority he needs before the Republican Convention.  If Trump can not win on the first ballot then the delegates can vote for whom they like, thus Trump could LOSE.   How will the Trump cope with losing, he faces that prospect in Wisconsin on Tuesday, its not how lead that shows character but how you lose and how you react. 

More Special Forces for Syria - Daesh Threat

CNN - Politics: Reports " The number of U.S. Special Operations forces fighting ISIS could increase in the coming weeks, two defense officials told CNN. "

Lets Get Real:

The US will need a lot more Special Forces in Syria and Iraq to take down Daesh, there will need to be house to house, street to streets searches and fighting.  One is under the impression that POTUS just wants to make sure that it does not lose in Syria and Iraq and will leave the problem to his successor.    This writer must admit it has been impressed at the success of the drone strikes and the US Special Forces helping in Iraq and Syria, if only President Obama has left them in place in 2011 then we might never have heard of Daesh.   If's are the curse of history, there is one thing that the left and right agree on, there can be no talks with Daesh, its a cancer that has to be removed. 

Kim Philby in his OWN Words - Spy Craft

BBC News: Reports " A previously unseen video of one of Britain's most infamous spies describing his career as a Soviet agent has been uncovered by the BBC. "

Lets Get Real:

The only regret that this blog has about the death of Kim Philby is the fact that he did not live long enough to see the fall of the USSR and ALL his work had been pointless. This traitor cost the lives of many good agents for a World viewpoint that is now on the ash heap of history.   The West should learn from the actions of Philby, always be on guard against treason for faith or money.

The US hits Daesh in Iraq - Iraq War Part 2

BBC News: Reports " A militant from the so-called Islamic State (IS) believed to be responsible for a deadly attack on US troops in northern Iraq has been killed in a drone strike, the US military said. "

Lets Get Real:

The drone strikes have been a successful weapon of the Obama Administration, BUT is it the answer the question of Daesh, the answer is NO, the removal of Daesh will take US and UK Special Forces, in the big cities of Syria and Iraq it will take door to door and street to street fighting.   The West is VERY wary of placing ground troops in Iraq, but as the Bush surge showed it worked, is only when Obama removed the troops without leaving a security force behind did Daesh start to grow.   Thus far a good day for Western security.  

Troops for Libya - Libya Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Crispin Blunt: Britain has moral responsibility to train Libyan army..Foreign affairs select committee chair backs limited intervention but warns against sending British forces to Tripoli "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has an obligation after it helped with the removal of Gaddafi to solve the political and economic mess that is Libya, in this it should be helped by the French and the US, the EU Countries need to help also, if Libya was one country again it could help stop the refugees coming from Syria and heading to EU Countries such as Germany, thus Berlin should also send troops, neither the UK and Germany are new to Libya, many a tank battle was fought there during World War 2.   If you remove a government from a Country you must do something about it when it falls in to a mess, this blog is still opposed to the idea, as Iraq has shown it never works when you leave.
