HRC BLAMES Obama for 2016 Defeat - Post 2016

Fox News: Reports " Hillary Clinton said in a new interview that her inability to run on an "agenda of change," coming off of President Barack Obama's two terms, was a significant problem for her 2016 campaign. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus far Hillary Clinton has blamed everyone from the FBI to the Russians for her defeat, it is not fair to blame President Obama, this blog had issues with the Obama Administration but it has to be said that President Obama stated his legacy was on the line in 2016 and supported HRC as best he could.   Let's recall that in modern history only one VP has been the successor to his boss, the President, that was Bush 41 who took over from President Reagan.   In 2000 Al Gore the sitting Vice President lost to Bush 41, in 2008 Senator McCain lost to President Obama, and it can be argued that Bill Clinton and Obama are rather good politicians.   It would be interesting to study what President Reagan did different from his successors that allowed his VP to win, a Ph.d of worthy of study. 

Conservatives AHEAD by 4% over Labour - Poll

Daily Mail: Reports " New poll puts the Tories four points ahead DESPITE a torrid spell which saw the party engulfed by the sex harassment scandal and lose two Cabinet ministers in a week  "

Lets Get Real:

This is good news for the Conservative Party after the scandals and forced resignations.  The left wing media pundits are fighting the next election as if it was the last election, the same mistake that old Generals do in Wartime.   Of course the polls could be wrong or the UK voter does not have a tax death wish and does not want Corbyn anywhere near No 10.  The Budget today was good for first time buyers with houses under three hundred thousand, no tax on them, but what about TAX CUTS for the wealthy, that is how you increase money in the economy.   The Government should have taken a swing at taxes, personal and business rates.   The Conservative Government is walking on hot coals, best to make a run for it, low taxes etc, than just go coal by coal.  TAX CUTS ARE THE FUTURE. 

POTUS and Roy Moore - The Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has backed a beleaguered Alabama Senate candidate who is accused of preying on teenagers. "

Lets Get Real:

The Office of the Presidency is more than just a political office, it represents the US to the World.   The fact that POTUS has come out in support of Judge Moore is appalling, LBJ once was told that he could lose the Presidency over supporting civil rights, he replied it was the right thing to do, never mind the political costs, and LBJ WAS  as political as anyone could have been.   The Presidency is a MORAL Office, what POTUS has done will cause damage to the Presidency for years to come, no other President would have done this, today POTUS has lost the respect of those who might have had a slight fondness for the man.   Bad day for Democracy.
