President Obama on 57% job approval - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " President Obama’s approval rating is now at 57 percent, the highest it’s been in his second term, according to a new Gallup poll. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the question will be asked, WHY did Hillary Clinton lose an election she should  have won on the back of Obama's high approval rating.   In 1988 Reagan helped his VP, Bush 41 get the job, thus it can be asked , was Reagan a better campaigner for Bush 41 than Obama was for HRC.  Did the HRC send the President to the right States, what in their campaign lead to the loss, did the campaign become glued to the polls, and not look at the reality.   This Campaign will be debated for ages, many a book will come out on 2016 and the Trump victory.

Bill vs. Hillary Clinton - The Election failure - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " In the waning days of the presidential campaign, Bill and Hillary Clinton had a knock-down, drag-out fight about her effort to blame FBI Director James Comey for her slump in the polls and looming danger of defeat. "

Lets Get Real:

BILL CLINTON knows about winning elections, he is a two term President, okay he is not the same man as he was then, having heart surgery does change people, but he is a natural pol, he wants to feel your pain.  HRC has no one to blame but herself, she had the idea of a private email server, and used it for secret and top secret information, no wonder the FBI had to investigate her, any one else would be JAIL by now, in a black hole of jail with the key thrown away.   This is the time second time HRC has lost an election to be President, if she wants a third run whe will have to listen to Bill, if she did not listen in the past that is HER fault.

Giuliani for State Department - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports 3.36 pm post the following, " Nomination watch: The New York Times reports that former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, a loyal backer of president-elect Donald Trump during even the darkest days of the campaign, is the frontrunner to head the state department under Trump’s administration. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog would have thought that the former Mayor of the New York would be better placed as Attorney General were he could find ways to lock up Hillary Clinton.   Of course the Giuliani was Mayor of New York at the times of 9/11 thus has shown himself good in a crisis, this is a developing story.

Trump on the Popular Vote - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump says he could have won the popular vote against Hillary Clinton if he had campaigned differently. "

Lets Get Real:

The electoral college and the popular vote have gone differently twice in the modern era, we recall the 2000 election were Bush 43 won the electoral college but the popular vote went to Vice - President Gore.   Thus we have 2016 were Clinton will win the popular vote while Trump gets the Presidency.   The founding fathers understood if there was no electoral college the candidates for the Presidency would not move from the popular areas, thus the smaller States would feel left out, thus the college.   One can argue that in fact it was the US Supreme Court that gave Bush 43 the White House, that was a first.   The Trump Presidency will be interesting, a complex man but intelligent, he is a billionaire.   Interesting times ahead.
