Booker for President ? - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Cory Booker says he's nearing 2020 decision as he swings through key southern states "

Lets Get Real:

Senator Booker is NOT Barack Obama, he does not have "IT", HE does not have the charisma, the left leaning voters of the Democratic base are not going to HELP the Democrats in 2020.   The FACT that former President Jimmy Carter endorsed him is not going to help the Senator, one can see the Republican Adverts already, do you want another Carter in the Oval Office.   One can see Senators Booker or Harris as VP, the question is who will be the nominee, not Senator Warren, President Trump would love her as the Democratic nominee, her attempts to explain why she thought she was a native American were foolish, even the Native American tribe she claimed to be part of disavowed her, also she is LIBERAL Democrat from a State that has produced two failed Presidential bids, in 1988 and 2004.  What about former VP Biden, he would appeal to white working class, but he has tried to run before and has failed, also lets be very honest here, he is OLD and has a FOOT IN THE MOUTH problem.  Also he is pandering to the liberal base, he has stated that he regrets supporting tough criminal laws in the 1980s and 1990s.  This might go down well on the East and West Coast but what about the rust belt States, he is ahead in the polls become people know the name, the race has not started yet.    This blog is still waiting for that candidate you like, leads and it not lead, liberal on social issues but tough on foreign policy, thus far not very impressed, POTUS could WIN big in 2020.

Trump and the State of the Union Speech - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.22pm post the following, " Donald Trump is preparing two State of the Union speeches, each for a different audience, according to ABC News:  "

Lets Get Real:

In removing the invite from POTUS to give the State of the Union speech in the House Chamber the Speaker has played in to the HANDS of President Trump, it was petty and he got his own back by removing her plane to fly to Afghanistan.   This blog would not put it pass POTUS to drive to the Capital and give the speech on the Capital steps, just to make the Speaker look foolish and under the control of her extreme LIBERAL BASE.    The Media would have to cover it, or the Oval Office could do or a Presidential Rally.   The Republican base will be happy if the Oval puts two fingers up to the elite media and liberal pols.   Whatever you think of Trump he hits back HARD, he will make the Speaker and Democrats sorry for this SNUB, how long will the Trade Unions support the Democrats if they are not getting their monthly income from their members.   The Democrats now control the House, they are part of the US Government, but they do not control the Senate or the Presidency, the Oval will make Democratic Candidates own what the House does, the Speaker needs to control her LIBERAL BASE or they could cost the Democrats the OVAL in 2020. 

The US Supreme Court on Transgender people - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " The United States Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to enforce his policy of banning certain transgender people from the military. "

Lets Get Real:

Subjective: This blog is VERY Liberal on social issues, from supporting abortion rights, to gay issues, to supporting the strict restrictions on guns, Drugs should be legalised and taxed.   On this issue the the Supreme Court is RIGHT, at the end of the day the President of the United States is the CinC, he get to decide who serves in the military.

Objective: In 2016 Donald Trump won the Presidency, through the electoral college, the Democrats LOST, winning has results.  This move by POTUS will go down well with his base, he does not care if the liberal elite media will be up in the arms, they are never going to VOTE FOR HIM.   If the Democrats want to reverse this policy they have to win the Oval Office, thus they need a candidate who can win, so far this blog is less that impressed with those that have thrown their hats into the ring, and those thinking of doing so.   They are ALL pandering to the liberal base, from VP Biden to Senator Harris, Leaders LEAD, they do not take polls to see what the their voters want.   The Democrats needs a nominee who is liberal to very liberal on social issues, but is tough when it comes to foreign policy, otherwise they will lose.   As stated this blog wants HRC to run again, Reagan ran in 1968, 1976 and won in 1980.   What else is HRC going to do, her sole interest in politics, former Clinton supporters should draft her to run, she would make an excellent President.
