The LAST chance for the US ? - Trump Era

The Hill: Has this opinion piece on the electoral college, the article states the following, " Donald Trump has demonstrated a predilection for tyranny at home and chaos abroad, and the Electoral College is our constitutional safety valve that can keep him out of the White House.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is very much the last chance to STOP Trump becoming President, it is what called a Hail Mary Pass, and the result, it will not work, liberals have to accept and concerned Conservatives also that Trump with be the next President of the United States.  One has to be fair to the Trump, he has saved jobs even before becoming President, that is more than President Obama can claim.   On foreign policy he will have a Cabinet of Generals, one might say top heavy in Generals, but as long as they keep US foreign policy on the road, that is the main thing, also external pressure on the Oval Office will start at once when Trump is President.  One can only hope that he wants to be become another Reagan and not another naive Obama.   IF Trump sets a red line in foreign policy he has to carry it through, the Obama reversal of policy when it came to his read line was a disaster for his Presidency and for the US as leader of the Western World.  One is crossing one fingers and hoping that Trump will be  a lucky and wise President.  

VP Biden on 2016 Presidential Election - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " Vice President Biden on Thursday voiced disgust with the tone of the 2016 presidential campaign. "

Lets Get Real:

At a base level the 2016 Presidential Elections was the lowest the US has seen in years, it was ALL about the personality of the candidates, and how far down the toilet they would go, the Democrats went after Trump in the most horrid way, yes it can be argued they used his own words against him, but still, it was not about actual policy.   On the Republican side, the Trump got the base of the Republican to see HRC as a criminal who needed to be sent to jail, neither side smelled like roses.  The problem is that the US election cycle makes the politicians in D.C wary of crossing the base of the Party, as the base funds elections, thus actual government tends to lose its focus, the next election in the 2018 Mid terms, the pols in D.C are already looking forward to it and getting the cash in ready for another election fight.

Recount Process - Part 12 - The Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Michigan recount stopped after judge says Jill Stein has no legal standing...The Green party candidate finished fourth in Michigan and didn’t have a chance of winning even after a recount and therefore isn’t ‘aggrieved’, the court said "

Lets Get Real:

IN less there something new that the Green's and Democrats can try in the legal field this recount process IS over.  Thus even this concerned Conservative will have to get used to a President Trump!  How BAD can it be, pretty bad, Trump has a very thin skin, he allows petty things to upset him, then goes to Twitter to start a War of Words.    As POTUS Trump will have to control himself, it's not going to be boring, the White House will become interesting again, the press will NOT fawn over President Trump, there will be no Nobel Prize for doing nothing, politics will be back to normal, of course that depends if you think US politics is normal, the election of Trump might have thrown that out of the window.

Trump and the Trade Union Boss - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has blasted a union leader who accused him of lying about his deal to stop an air conditioning maker from moving jobs to Mexico. "

Lets Get Real:

PLEASE, will someone take away the President-Elect's cell from him, as President in January HE can not have these fights with individuals, there will be REAL threats to the US from the Middle East; Daesh in Syria, Eastern Europe; Putin and Russia, Asia; China's land and sea takeover in Asia.   Once in the Oval Office President Trump can not allow these personal fights to take up his day, thus the importance of finding a good Secretary of State, someone who does not outshine the boss but give structure to Trump Foreign Policy.  TAKE AWAY THE CELL.

Recount Process 11 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Recounts barely making dent in election results; Trump gains in Wisconsin "

Lets Get Real:

IF the Greens and Democrats want to overturn the November result they have only a few days to go, they need to find a hundred thousand votes in three States to beat Trump, so far not so good.   The process has moved to the Courts, even the Federal Courts can not move the deadline of Dec 12.    Thus if you're a liberal or a concerned Conservative you just might have to accept the fact that Trump will the be the 45th President of the United States, it going to be a rollercoaster for the US and the World.

Recount Process - Part 10 - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " US elections: broken machines could throw Michigan recount into chaos..Over half of Detroit and nearly one-third of Wayne County could be affected, and the recount won’t happen if discrepancies can’t be solved by recounting by hand "

Lets Get Real:

This will confirm the view of the Greens and liberal Democrats that there is something WRONG with the counting machines, but then you have FEDERAL LAW, the count must be finished by December 13th, as the electoral college meets on December 19th.  If by some reason neither candidate get 270 it moves to the House of Representatives, as this is under the control of the Republicans the victory will go to Donald Trump.   The liberal left has thrown a hail mary pass by arguing that the counting machines are wrong, but they can not change the FACT that the Republicans control the Congress.

Trump on Air Force One - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Trump says Air Force One Boeing order should be cancelled "

Lets Get Real:

The President - Elect does not need another plane, he has if this blog's recall is right two already, when he become President he will have Air Force One.   This is a good move by President Trump, it will go down well with the rust belt States.   The costs always go up, that is the nature of a government relationship with industry, if this was a private business affair the costs would be kept down or charges would have to be paid for the delay and the extra costs.    It should be noted once President Trump become President,  he will have to fly by Air Force One as to secure the Oval.   On whole wise move by Trump.
