Trump on Muslims Coming to the US - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appears to have softened his stance on temporarily barring Muslims from travelling to the US. "

Lets Get Real:

The IDEA that you could ban Muslims from coming to the US is against US law and international law, it represents the worst aspects of the far right.  The fact that Trump is moving away from that shows that he does understand, he is not thick, he is a billionaire as he keeps telling everyone who will listen.   The HRC campaign have to use Trump's racist remarks against him, the US voter has its flaws, but on the whole they a small L liberals, they believe in the LAW, a Trump Administration would be a disaster for the US. 

The REAL Americans - KGB Era and Putin

Guardian: Reports " The day we discovered our parents were Russian spies...For years Donald Heathfield, Tracey Foley and their two children lived the American dream. Then an FBI raid revealed the truth: they were agents of Putin’s Russia. Their sons tell their story"

Lets Get Real:

This is an article you should read, the actual events are a few years old now, but it was shocking at the time, Russian Spies living the US dream.  It helped in the development of the The Americans spy show about Russians living as every day citizens.   The article and the TV series does make you wonder about the morality of the SPY parents, in less Moscow told them to have children it was their choice, and they get shipped back to Russia, while the kids are in LIMBO, the parents should have thought on how it would end, the CIA, NSA are not stupid, the idea that you can spend years as a intelligent operative working in the West and not expect to get caught shows a lack of thinking.   As to the fate of the kids it does seem harsh to remove their passports and their rights, on the other hand it was their parents that created this mess, one would think that the parents should feel very guilty at their choices. 

Trump and Taxes - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Presumptive US Republican nominee Donald Trump has said taxes for rich people may have to go up in an apparent reversal of his stated policy. "

Lets Get Real:

The above shows that Trump is not a REAL Republican and a Conservative.   The Republican Party since the time of Reagan has been about tax cuts, as it has been shown that tax cuts help the economy, and tax cuts for the rich help those on a lower scale.   The Trump Campaign is nicking the policy aims of the Sanders Campaign and liberal Democrats.  It might just be a good idea to run a Conservative candidate against Trump and Hillary Clinton.    

When will the Corbyn nightmare END - Corbyn Era

Telegraph: Reports on a Shadow Cabinet member on Corbyn, " .. is not credible enough to lead Labour to victory, a member of his shadow cabinet has said after the party suffered its worst result at the local elections for 30 years and was beaten into third place in Scotland. "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party has to learn to LOVE Tony Blair again, that is the only way it can win a election, it must get rid of Corbyn and his fellow travellers on the left and return the Labour Party to the middle of UK politics.  There needs to be a coup against Corbyn, a new leader needs time to bed in, the more that Labour waits the harder it will be to get rid of Corbyn, that was the mistake with Brown and Miliband, in election cycles Party loyalty does not matter, it is about winning. 

Bush 43 and Looking Back - Election 2016

Guardian: Reviews Bush 43 when looking at the success of Donald Trump, the article notes the following, " It’s not as though the Republicans lack any recent example of a politician who, while certainly not perfect, nevertheless attempted with some consistency and success to build bridges to new people outside the Republican tent, not just the guardians of purity within it, to be open to minorities and, in his own way, to look to the future. Plus, not irrelevantly, he won elections. This paragon’s name is George W Bush. "

Lets Get Real:

It said that a US President always looks good after his successors, it seems that the Guardian has come to this truth, let's be clear they see Bush 43 in the above light after Trump become the Republican Nominee.   What the Guardian fails to see that the success of Trump is DOWN to the Presidency of Obama, the political sides have become more extreme, just look at the success of Senator Sanders, he is trying to push HRC to the extreme left, this could hurt her in the general election.    The Obama of 2004 of bringing the sides together went away once he was in the Oval Office, he want left, as was shown with his agenda of ObamaCare and not taking the War on Terror as a serious event, the Obama ego was out of control.   This blog is ONLY supporting HRC because it could never see the Gipper supporting Trump. 

The Labour Party Destroyed in Scotland - Corbyn Era

Daily Mail: Reports " The SNP's independence dream fades as Nicola Sturgeon FAILS to win an overall majority and the Tories surge into second place in a devastating result for Labour  "

Lets Get Real:

The Regional and Council Elections showed that Labour has a long road to travel by 2020.  In Scotland the SNP won a good victory, but did not win a majority, while in Wales Labour was kept in power but without an overall majority.   In the Council elections Labour did not lose as much as they expected, while London has a new Labour Mayor.  The Corbyn Era has showed that without taking Scotland back it can not win the 2020 general election, this does mean the Conservatives have it easy, that would be a mistake, the Conservatives have to plan for a tough election in 2020, one would assume that Labour will have changed it leader by then, the Party does not want to lose a third general election in a row. 

Jeb Bush on Trump - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has said he will not vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump in November's presidential election. "

Lets Get Real:

This after the Primary fight it is a surprise, one would have thought that Jeb Bush would have been on the Trump short list for VP.   One can see why Jeb Bush has done this, Trump was less than flattering of Jeb Bush and has been critical of Bush 43 when it comes to Iraq.   The Republican Establishment, the elite leaders can see themselves doing deals with Hillary Clinton, while Trump is a unknown, has has never been elected Office and his game book would be different from theirs.   One does wonder will Senator Rubio now be considered for the VP spot on a Trump ticket.
