The Democratic Race in New Hampshire - Election 2020

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.57pm post the following, " A new poll shows Pete Buttigieg in third place among Democratic voters in New Hampshire, after Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden.  "

Lets Get Real:

A Century ago, well it seems like that, Beto was the golden boy, the man to take on POTUS, well he seems to have dropped to POLITICAL EARTH.  The fresh face and with a good war record is Mayor Pete, he also happens to be gay, that works in the Democratic field.  The Democrats could have the first openly married gay as their candidate.  On the plus side, Mayor Pete has managed a big enough town, thus has management experience, he has served in Afghanistan, and comes across as clever without being cocky.   The downside is the fact that he talking liberal talking points, wants to get rid of the electoral college etc.  The UK Guardian had scathing article about him, in essence the charge that was thrown at Gary Hart in 1988, Where is the beef?, the the Guardian article suggested he was a empty suit with no firm ideas.   In essence he does not pass the liberal purity test, liberal since birth.   It is expected that former Vice - President Joe Biden will get in to the race on Wednesday, it is about time, Sanders is starting to look like the leading candidate, he leads in the polls. Biden will have to hit the ground running, he needs to spend a lot of time in Iowa and New Hampshire, being a former VP does not cut it, he has to re-sell his brand name, and move the political talk to the centre, he has to make it clear if Sanders is the nominee then Democrats will lose in 2020, no way in God's earth will the US vote for a Democratic Socialist in 2020.  It would be another four years of Trump. 

Impeachment, The Democratic Base vs. The Leadership - Election 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Democratic leaders prepare to hear from rank-and-file lawmakers eager to impeach Trump in first caucus-wide call since the Mueller report  "

Lets Get Real:

CNN has been pushing impeachment since the Mueller Report came it, the problem is that voters on the whole seem disinterested, you have the fanatical liberals who just want to impeach, the wiser heads the LEADERSHIP establishment know what happened to the Republicans when they impeached Bill Clinton 1998, they lost seats in the Mid Terms of that year.  Speaker Pelosi after getting her old job back does not want to lose it because some political fanatics just want political porn, the House with a Democratic majority could impeach, the question is will a new members from Conservative States support the move, could it lead to a split within the Democratic Party.   If the Democrats do impeach, it could be a bonus for POTUS, he could argue that the Mueller Report and the US Attorney General found his innocent of collusion and obstruction of justice and that liberals have gone more unhinged after that.   Even if the House does pass Articles of Impeachment, the Senate will say NO, then POTUS will be found innocent.   Then Trump will tarnish those Democrats running for President who support the move. This could lead to the Republicanas retaking the House and keeping the Oval Office.  ARE THE DEMOCRATS THAT STUPID. 

President Trump increase pressure on Iran - Middle East/Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has decided to end exemptions from sanctions for countries still buying oil from Iran.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval goes after anything with a Obama trade mark on it, thus its assaults on ObamaCare and to the deal between the US and Iran over its nuclear plans.  For a President very much following an isolation policy, trying to get the US out of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Trump Oval is placing enough pressure on the Iran regime to force them to take action against the US, then one assumes the US will take out the Tehran Regime, that is only a guess, but a good guess if you follow the logical road map.  This blog supports the Trump policy, it does not trust Iran for a second, one assumes that they are building some kind of nuclear structure, out of sight of US intelligence.  One assumes that the CIA has a operation in IRAN to follow any Iran breakout in the nuclear field.   The White House does not want to be surprised one morning with the news that Iran has tested its first nuclear bomb.   When it comes to intelligence in the Middle East, this blog trusts MOSSAD, Israel's intelligence network.  A couple of years ago this blog read an article that stated that Israel with Saudi Arabia had plans to attack Iran if it ever got the stage when it could test a bomb, one does wonder if there are talks between Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia for a joint attack on Iran if it passes the nuclear stage, it would be better if they did it, rather than the US, they have the money and military knowhow and will be given fresh weapons if they run out.  This is a story to watch this YEAR. 

The LAST WORD on the Mueller Report!! - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 7.48pm post, " White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway told reporters that the publication of the Mueller report is “really the best day since he got elected”. She reiterated Trump’s insistence that there was “no collusion, and there was certainly no criminal conspiracy with any Russians”...“We’re accepting apologies today, too, for anybody who feels the grace in offering them,” Conway said.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can expect the uber liberal press to force the House Democrats to impeach President Trump, not because they will get rid of him, just because they can, as long as the economy is going well and the Republican base is with him the Republican Senate will find him not guilty.  The Trump Campaign of 2020 will use the impeachment move to get donations in from the base, also remind voters that while it was Conservative districts that gave the Democrats a majority in the House, it is being run by far left liberal such as AOC.  In 2020 the Democratic nominee will have to defend the actions of the House, this could sink any Democratic campaign in Congress and for the OVAL.   In this 24/7 media age, the fight never stops, CNN and the other liberal media networks will ask why the Democrats have not impeached Trump, they want to create the news, thus FAKE NEWS. 

POTUS on the Mueller Report - Trump Era

The White House: Remarks by President Trump on the Mueller Report " I’m having a good day, too.  (Laughter.)  It was called, “No collusion.  No obstruction.”  (Laughter and applause.)  There never was, by the way, and there never will be.

And we do have to get to the bottom of these things, I will say.  And this should never happen. ...But I say it in front of my friends: This should never happen to another President again.  This hoax — it should never happen to another President again.  Thank you.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is Easter, only political nerds like this blog will read most of the Mueller Report, most normal people will take their news from their trusted source as stated before.   This blog is no great fan of Trump, in fact this blog supported HRC in 2016, spinning for the Clintons was ironic to say the least.  This blog wants POTUS to be treated as you would treat other President, otherwise you have MOB RULE, depending on who is in power.  The Vice President has already called for an investigation of the investigators, to see if the Mueller investigation was lawful.   The Democrats in the House will be pushed by their very liberal base to impeach Trump, and then the Republican Senate will find him not guilty.  In 2020 the Democrats could LOSE the House and the Democratic nominee will have to defend the actions of the House, thus creating more points for the Trump to hit the Dem nominee.  Where are the grown ups?, when in 1968 during the Presidential election LBJ found that Nixon was sabotaging his peace talks with North Vietnam he did not make it public, he could see a crisis developing from the release of this information.   The Republicans and the Democrats have become petty and are owned by the base, we need another Reagan in the Oval Office, a President that could unite the US. 

Vice - President Pence on the Mueller Report - Trump Era

The White House: Has released the following statement by Vice - President Pence, " Today’s release of the Special Counsel’s report confirms what the President and I have said since day one: there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and there was no obstruction of justice.

After two years of investigation, conducted with the full cooperation of this Administration, that involved hundreds of witness interviews and millions of pages of documents, the American people can see for themselves: no collusion, no obstruction.

Now that the Special Counsel investigation is completed, the American people have a right to know whether the initial investigation was in keeping with long-standing Justice Department standards — or even lawful at all. We must never allow our justice system to be exploited in pursuit of a political agenda.

While many Democrats will cling to discredited allegations, the American people can be confident President Trump and I will continue to focus where we always have, on advancing an agenda that’s making our nation stronger, safer, and more secure.  "

Lets Get Real:

In this modern world of social media, you live in your own political planet, if you watch CNN you think that POTUS did colluded with the Russians even after the Mueller cleared the Trump Campaign of that allegation.   Also you think POTUS tried but failed to obstruct justice but was prevented by his staff from doing any damage.  If you are a Fox News watcher you will take the words of AG Barr, the President was cleared of collusion, by the way for liberals, collusion is not a crime. Also the AG did not agree with the special prosecutor when it comes to the legal theory of obstruction of justice, and thus cleared the President.   Let's recall Mueller works for AG Barr not the other way around, the AG calls the shots on the final interpretation of the law for prosecution.  Thus those that are sane, just want the matter over with, Mueller cleared POTUS of collusion, however many ways CNN try to say it did not happen, and the AG, and the Deputy AG, are the top law enforcers in the land have cleared Trump when it comes to obstruction.   One will postulate that the Democrats will try to impeach the President on obstruction, but they will fail because it will be seen as partisan, and no Republican is going to go against the AG when it comes to a matter of law.   Again to Democrats, impeachment is not about the law, it's is about the art of politics. 

Mueller Report - Trump Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.01pm post the following, " Mueller's team said obstruction by the president failed because others refused to "carry out orders"...It states: "The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests."  "

Lets Get Real:

This morning the AG Barr stated the main points of the Mueller report, that the President did not colluded with Russia and while the Mueller report could not clear POTUS of obstruction of Justice the AG and the Deputy AG did clear POTUS and stated that they disagreed with some of the legal theory of Mueller when it came to obstruction of justice.  On the whole CNN types are still talking about this case as if it is a legal case, it is NOT, its politics. Speaker Pelosi does not want another impeachment process, in less the Republicans buy in to the process, and they will not, this report will not change any minds.   The hard left base that watches CNN will want an impeachment process, if nothing else just to add Trump to the Impeachment process, so Trump joins Bill Clinton as the only elected Presidents to be impeached.   Speaker Pelosi knows that might make the base happy, but it could cost the Democrats the House in 2020, thus she will stall for as long as possible.   At the end of the day politics is an art not a science, in art anything is possible, apples sometimes do not fall with gravity.
