Obama on EU Vote - EU VOTE

BBC News: Reports " US President Barack Obama has said Britain would go to the "back of the queue" for trade deals with the US if it votes to leave the European Union. "

Lets Get Real:

With all due respect to POTUS, he should keep his nose out of UK internal affairs. The UK does not go on about the level of African - Americans in US jails or the level of gun violence in the US.   It is up to the UK voter to decide ALONE on the role of the UK in the EU.   The President is a lame duck President, IF the UK votes to leave the EU, the issue will be up to the next President.   The President should be concerned about the Middle East and the threat from Daesh. 

Hillary Clinton on Gun Control - Election 2016

Lets Get Real:

On this policy HRC and the Democrats are right, there needs to be a tough law on the owning of guns, in fact outside of the Police Force, the Army and Sport events NO American should have a need of a private gun.   If you remove the guns from the civic society and from daily use then guns will not be the first answer to problems.   NEED FOR TOUGH GUN LAWS. 

Troops for Iraq - Daesh War

BBC News: Reports " The US is to send 200 extra troops to Iraq to help fight so-called Islamic State (IS), officials say...Alongside the additional troops, Apache attack helicopters will be deployed for the first time against IS in Iraq. "

Lets Get Real:

IF only President Obama had done this at the start, it would have prevented the growth of Daesh in Syria and Iraq, the City of Mosul would have been kept out of the hands of Daesh, now that City has to be fought over, in the wait Daesh has been able to create numerous IED's in Mosul, also they will make it hard for the Iraqi/US forces to fight house to house, street to street, one can hardly use Apache attack helicopters in close city quarters.    The fight of Mosul has just began, it will be bloody and has to be successful. 

More US Forces for Iraq and Syria - Daesh Threat

The New York Times: Reports on increased US Special Forces for Iraq and Syria,  " The Obama administration is preparing to broaden its military campaign .... by increasing the number of Special Operations forces who advise Syrian rebels, and it is also considering the addition of Army attack helicopters to the fight against militants in Iraq "

Lets Get Real:

IF only President Obama has listened to his military in 2011, but his ego was to much, he thought he knew IT all, and thus the birth of Daesh, and the moving of a secular revolt in Syria in to a religious fight.    Long after Obama  has left the White House to do paid speeches his successor will have to deal with the results.    At the end of the day the retaking of Mosul will require US ground troops, the US and the Baghdad Government can not afford to lose when they try to retake Mosul.   Thus house to house fighting and street fighting will require troops, it is only a matter of time before the US places ground troops back into Iraq, the Oval can call them what he wants, but they will be troops fighting. 

Clinton on Trump - TV Advert - Election 2016

Lets Get Real:

This hard hitting advert is the type of advert the Democrats will run if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, thus the Republicans must grow up and smell the coffee, they need to select a candidate that can beat HRC, that is Governor Kasich.  The Democrats have the money to fight a dirty election, lets not give them the political arrows at the start. 

Republican Delegate Count - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live:  Reports on the following Republican delegate count, " Trump 744, Cruz 559, Kasich 144  ".

Lets Get Real:

The Cruz Campaign is getting the delegates while the Trump Campaign is a big white shark out of its depth.  The only way the Republicans can win in November is for there to be a contested convention, with neither Trump or Cruz getting the right number of 1237 and the delegates finally going for a vote winner in the shape of Kasich, he would bring in Ohio, while he could pick Rubio has his VP.    Thus you have the road through the electoral maths to the Oval Office.   This long contest is starting to get slightly tedious. 

Cruz rolling in Republican Delegates - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " US Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz has won all 14 delegates in contention at a state party convention in Wyoming.  "

Lets Get Real:

Donald Trump calls Senator Cruz, lying Ted, well it seems Ted understands the rules of the Republican Party, the Republican Establishment loath Donald Trump they just hate Cruz.   Let's be honest the Establishment would like to to see both Trump and Cruz go on a one way trip to Mars together, they have the ego for the power thrust.   The Donald does not seem to care or want to understand the rules of the Republican Party, it does make one wonder how Trump become a billionaire, he did, he must understand Hotel construction better than politics.   IF it is a contest convention this blog is supporting Governor Kasich of Ohio.
