Cruz's VP Choice - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports in its 9.23pm post the following, " Ted Cruz picks Carly Fiorina as prospective running mate..If I am nominated to be president of the United States, then I will run on the ticket with my vice presidential nominee, Carly Fiorina. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a bold move by Senator Cruz, it allows Fiorina to be his attack dog while he can fight on policy.   Also it has already annoyed Trump, the friction between Trump and Fiorina is well known.  In declaring his VP choice he is following what Ronald Reagan did in 1976, lets see if it is more successful now than it was then, there will be pressure on Trump to declare his VP, to state so would be a mistake,  Trump needs to think careful about this choice, he needs someone to balance him, what about Kasich, that would end this long running game.

Trump on Foreign Policy - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Mr Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican candidacy in the 2016 presidential race, said he would pursue an "America First" policy. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump foreign policy would be a disaster for Western security, his American First policy would weaken NATO, the EU countries can not afford to pay 2% of their budget to defence and NATO.   The Middle East allies, well those left could not be sure that Trump would come to their defence, while Eastern European allies in NATO would be concerned that Trump would sell them out to Putin's Russia.   THIS is why Hillary Clinton has to win in November. THE  Trump policy sounds of a Isolated US, the very same policy that lead to World War 2.

Another Super Tuesday - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Voters in five north-eastern US states are casting ballots in a series of primaries that could cement the leads of presidential frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump....Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are holding primaries on Tuesday. "

Lets Get Real:

The QUESTION that must be asked are we going to have to accept that Donald Trump will be the Republican Nominee, as of now it looks like Trump will be the nominee, it is expected that he will have a good night tonight, will the deal between Cruz and Kasich do any difference, it might annoy voters, they do not like the idea of back room deals, it looks like the Establishment is trying to pull a fast one, thus voters if your a Republican and you supported Reagan the only way out is to VOTE for Hillary Clinton in November.   The domestic agenda of a HRC Administration will be LIBERAL, but one can expect a tougher foreign policy, in life you have to make the odd deal, and this is the case with HRC, hope that the supposed hawk turns up, no one with any honour could vote for Trump.

Hail Mary Pass by Cruz and Kasich - Election 2016

Telegraph: Reports  Trump's "  rivals have begun an unprecedented last-ditch attempt to stop him winning the Republican presidential nomination by co-ordinating their campaign efforts in certain states. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the LAST throw of the dice by Senator Cruz and Governor Kasich, if it does not work then Trump will be the Republican Nominee, and it has been suggested that a Trump ticket would lose as big as Barry Goldwater lost in 1964 to LBJ.    Let's recall the only bright spot of the Goldwater Campaign was the birth of Ronald Reagan as a serious candidate for 1968, 1976 and finally winning in 1980.   Thus from the ruins of 2016 we might to see a 2nd Reagan come along, not holding my breath but it is a hope. 

Trump on Syrian Refugees - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports the following in its 7.17pm post. " Donald Trump warned attendees of his Warwick, Rhode Island rally today that Syrian refugees could break into their homes - a racist-fueled line since there’s no evidence of crimes by Syrian refugees in the area.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus more racist remarks by the Donald, one does really wonder what is happening to the Republican Party, Ike and Ronald  Reagan must be turning in their graves at the thought of Trump in THEIR Oval Office.   The Democrats should have an easy victory in November, IF Trump wins then the most darkest aspects of the American character will be on show for the World.   Thus HRC has to move to the centre, from there she can win the Presidency. 

Special Forces for Syria - Daesh War

BBC News: Reports " President Barack Obama says he is to send up to 250 more special forces troops to Syria to support local militias in the fight against so-called Islamic State (IS). "

Lets Get Real:

The Oval Office can call the troops whatever it wants, as long as US Special Forces are there to fight Daesh and train the local rebels, even if the battles in Syria are confusing, as to whom is fighting whom.   The Obama slow policy has worked, one should always give credit when its due, the Oval has taken its time, those caught up in the 24/7 news cycle wanted faster action, the best action is action that is considered.   Let's see what happens with the extra troops. 

London Mayor ATTACKS POTUS on EU - EV Vote

Daily Mail: Reports " Boris Johnson branded 'racist' and likened to the right-wing Tea Party after his attack on the 'part Kenyan' Barack Obama  "

Lets Get Real:

The left wing Establishment always use the race card when it comes to attacks on President Obama, in the case of the EU they understand that POTUS is on thin ice, the norm is for Foreign Governments to be neutral during internal elections.   Thus one can expect that Boris Johnson to be attacked by the BBC and the Guardian, they understand that he would be a popular leader to take over from PM David Cameron when he leaves, thus they want to punch holes his leadership before he comes PM.    This blog has not covered the EU vote that much, it's early, there are weeks to go, it has not even made a firm decision on how to vote, thus being told by POTUS how to vote is irksome in the extreme and not good politics for the Oval Office.
