Bad Job Numbers for VP Harris - 2024 Candidates/24 General Election - Biden Era

 BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.24pm post the following, " Trump says latest job figures are 'bad news' for Harris...He calls the report "bad news", blaming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for driving the US economy "off of a cliff". "

Lets Get Real:

This is the the biggest beef of the American voter with the perception that US economy is BAD, in fact the Americans are having the best economy they have ever had, low unemployment and low inflation, but the cost of daily life that it has hard of them.   In any other political cycle, Harris should win in a landslide, and she might still.   The Blue Swing  States look good for Harris, she just must make sure that her ground game is good and she gets her voters out, in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, everyone says the Democratic ground work is great , the Trump has franchised  this out.  Only a few days to go and it will be over for a year before Candidates starting go  to Iowa and New Hampshire to be the Republican nominee to face then President Harris in 2028.  It never ends!

Presidential - Elect Biden speaks to the US , very Presidential - US Politics

BBC News: Reports that President - Elect Biden stated the following to the American people, " "I asked everyone to stay calm. All people to stay calm. The process is working. The count is being completed. And we'll know very soon."  "

Lets Get Real:

President - Elect Biden was VERY Presidential in his remarks, he was talking to the whole of the US, while President Trump was talking to his large base, he might be looking forward to running in 2024, he might enjoy making Biden's time in the White House miserable, after January 20th at 12pm Biden becomes President, thus COVID - 19 will be his problem, also the economy will need to be rebuilt, pushing through tax hikes and climate change might cost him a 2nd term in 2024, elections never END, they just go on, within two years he will face a Mid Term Election, with the Republicans not having lost a House SEAT and the Senate up in the air at the moment, Biden will need all his Senate skills to get his Agenda through. The President recent remarks, show that he has not learned how to be Presidential, Biden had a long career as Senator and Vice - President to see how power really works and how to be Presidential.

Pennsylvania the State to the Oval Office - US Presidential Election

Sky News: Reports in its 10.46pm post the following, " Mr Trump too has lavished attention on the state. There is a strong belief in his campaign, echoed by his supporters, that the ‘shy Trump voter’ will come out to support him in huge numbers and defy the pollsters again.  "

Lets Get Real:

In less nearly ALL the polls are wrong, we shall have President - Elect Biden on Tuesday night, quite early if Florida and Ohio go for Biden.  The next moves will be interesting, who will Biden place on his foreign policy teams, Susan Rice in to the State Department as long as the Democrats take the Senate.  The Biden staff will be former members of the Obama/Biden team.  The NEW Administration in January could faces a test from North Korea, they will see that Biden will appease Iran and remove Trump's sanctions and will agree to whatever they want, while on the campaign trail Biden has been tough about China and North Korea.  Once in the Oval Biden will face pressure from Liberals to have a very liberal foreign policy and allow NK to have the bomb.  As for former President Trump as he will be after his defeat and the move of the Biden Administration in to power, could face charges from the New York Prosecutors, that should keep him twittering away for a while, of course he could PARDON himself, that will drive the left up the WALL, a President has no check on his power to PARDEN FEDERAL crimes, thus the New York prosecutors will have to go for States charges, those will be harder for Trump, a US President has never been jailed before!

Biden leads in NATIONAL US Polls - US Presidential Election 2020

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.48pm post the following, " The latest data puts Biden about 10 points ahead of Trump.  "

Lets Get Real:

If Florida or Ohio go for Biden then we know its OVER on election night, of course if the rust belt States go together, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania go for Biden the its a massive victory for Biden.  The interesting races will be the Senate races, do the voters really want to give the Democrats a CLEAN SWEEP, that would mean that it would be DOWN to the US Supreme Court to stop any massive liberal polices.  One can assume if its  a massive victory for Biden then even Trump will have to go quietly and hand over the power on January 20th 2021.   The question is what he will do between November and January, there  is only one President at a time, and a angry Trump might start a war with Iran and hand it over to Biden.  On the foreign policy side one should expect former Obama officials, also will Biden really be that tough with Russia and North Korea, also of course he will appease Iran, back to the Obama deal with them.  If the US Supreme Courts does revoke OBAMACARE, then Biden will need to build up his support for another attempt.  On the whole one expects a more quiet time from a Biden White House. 

The Last Days of Trump - 2020 Presidential Election / Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10pm blog the following, " Barack Obama campaigned for Joe Biden in Philadelphia, as polls show Biden pulling ahead in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. The former president is currently participating in a discussion with black male community leaders, and he will hold a drive-in rally later tonight.  "

Lets Get Real:

In 2016 this blog blogged and supported HRC, but placed £2.50 for Trump to WIN, this election cycle this blog is reversing its thought of doing the same.  Let's be honest Trump has been a disaster as POTUS, Nixon comes out better, No wonder Tricky Dicky wanted Trump to run, you can say a lot of things about Nixon, but he knew people, he did win 49 States in his re-election and thus could postulate that Trump would be a disaster, and the has been, he has taken the Presidency to NEW LOWS, even compared to Bill Clinton.   The Oval's reaction to COVID - 19 has been a total disaster, hundreds of thousands have died, and Trump after getting the disease thinks he is immune, thus having large gatherings were the disease can spread.  CNN has been totally negative, makes one feel sorry for Trump!!! Trump has been friendly to Putin's Russia and to North Korea, he has been critical of allies, while bending backwards to be nice to enemies of the West.  Thus we are not far from the Biden Era, God help us!

The Democrats vs. Hillary Clinton - 2016 Campaign - Trump Era

The Washington Post: Reports " Ex-DNC aide hits back hard at Clinton, says her campaign ignored data on Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats will have a nervous breakdown if HRC thinks she can run again in 2020, a President Trump would be HARDER to beat, of course that depends if the Special Prosecutor can find anything that links Trump to Russia, if he does then it could be President Pence, a true Conservative, even harder to beat.  The Democrats need a fresh leader, one not in his or her 70s.   There must be a younger generation of Democrats out there that want to be President.  The age of the Clintons is OVER, just they seem not to have gotten the message!!

When the LEFT goes BONKERS - Trump Era

Telegraph: Reports " Thousands send letters, death threats, to pressure Electoral College to avert outcome of presidential election "

Lets Get Real:

The LEFT has gone bonkers, they do not like the result and what do they do, they want to change the rules at the end.   The election was there for the taking by HRC, but she blew it, you can blame the FBI or the Russians, but at the end of the day HRC lost the rust belt States to Trump.  The artistic left will be critical of Trump whatever he does, if he found a cure for cancer the left would be arguing that it was okay as a disease.  The Democratic Party has to look in on itself, why did the Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania go for Trump, was the ground game not as good as though by the Democrats, is the Democratic Party a Party for the workers or Hollywood liberals?   The Democrats have in till 2018 to work out the answer, then you get into the Mid Terms and 2020 election cycle.

Hillary Clinton vs. Putin of Russia - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports "  Clinton accuses Putin of acting on 'personal beef' in directing email hack..Hillary Clinton says cyberattack targeting the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta was Vladimir Putin’s way of seeking personal revenge "

Lets Get Real:

The above is about right, but its not the whole story, HRC was a bad candidate, she did not connect to the rust belt voters, the old Reagan Democrats.   The white working class has fallen behind in economic terms in the Obama Era, while the top 1% of the country has gotten all the benefits.   One only has to look at the rusted factories in these States, they were the life blood of communities, once they went towns and cities started to decline.   The Trump promised to bring back jobs to the rust belt States, we shall if he can give rebirth to the industrial heartland of the US.    HRC was a bad candidate who did not come across as authentic, she is no Bill Clinton.

Democrats either LOSE the PLOT or SAVING the US - Trump Era

The Hill: Reports " House Dem wants Electoral College vote delayed until after intelligence briefing "

Lets Get Real:

WHAT would be the point of delaying the Electoral College vote, the Democrats can not change the FACT that HRC was a bad candidate, she did not connect to Main Street, and it was her campaign's fault that she did not go to Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania enough. The rust belt Democrats or the old Reagan Democrats did not trust her, and half the country wanted her locked up for using a private email server that could be hacked by the enemies of the US.  This blog is NO Trump supporter, but trying to subvert democracy while trying to save democracy only ends up in destroying democracy.   The Democrats should become foreign policy hawks and fast, if Trump is a Putin's fool they can make gains in the 2018 Mid Terms and get a better candidate in 2020.  The Trump Presidency is NOT going to be like the past eight years, there is something to be said for that development.

Recount Process Part 13 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " Federal judge rejects push for Pennsylvania recount "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the recount process will not stop Donald Trump becoming President, the left and the Democrats/Greens must know hope that the electoral college will block Trump, good luck with that idea, that is fantasy land.  The left will just have to get over the fact that we are entering the Trump Era, an Era that will not be boring, will change the US, it has been a kick up the backside to D.C, one does wonder what the US voter has done to the US and the World.

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.

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.

Recount Process - Part 9 - Michigan - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " Michigan will become the second state to conduct a recount of ballot casts during the 2016 presidential election. "

Lets Get Real:

The chance that the recounts will change the result are slim, but it is important to check, the election shows that Trump does not have a great mandate to change the course, of course it can be argued that election of Trump itself is a mandate, these kind of rhetoric debates can go on till forever.   The Republicans as is their right have the right to challenge these recounts, it would be SAD if the result came from the Courts, as in 2000 election.

Recount Process Part 8 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " And in Pennsylvania, an updated count Friday by state election officials showed Trump's lead shrinking to 49,000 from 71,000 over Clinton, out of 6 million votes cast, as more counties finish counting overseas ballots and settled provisional ballot challenges.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above shows there are votes out there that have not been counted, the Greens and the Democrats should push their demands for a hand recount and a check of the election machines to see if they have been hacked.   The demand for a software check might be harder to get, as the Courts do not want to go through each Machine, it would take months, the deadline for votes in December 13th.  The Democratic Party should be supporting Stein, with legal and money support, there is long shot chance she might be right, better to check than a President Trump.

Recount Process Part -7 - What PRIZE Democracy? - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Pennsylvania recount: Jill Stein to take fight to federal court after $1m bond set..Green party candidate vows to counter judge’s ‘outrageous demand’ for $1m bond by seeking emergency relief in federal court "

Let Get Real:

As also noted by this blog the taxpayer is expected to meet the demands of the Green Party, the question that has to be asked is WHY the Green Party has not paid up, it has collected millions, why will it not pay.   One is starting to think that the Trump was right, that it is a scam to make money for the Green Party without actually spending the money.  The taxpayer should not pay the costs, IF Hillary Clinton really thinks she has a chance she should put her money were her lawyers are, pay for the recount, one can sure rich liberals will pay up any request, the whole process makes the US look like a laughing stock.

Recount Process Part 6 - Pennsylvania

BBC News: Reports " The US Green Party led by Jill Stein has changed its strategy in seeking a state-wide recount in Pennsylvania. "

Lets Get Real:

THUS as noted in this blog that it would  happen, the recount process has moved to the federal court, who ever wins it will get appealed ALL the way to the US Supreme Court.   As that Supreme Court is tied between Liberals and Conservatives the last finding holds.  As a political geeks enjoys the process, the US voter might have other ideas.   One does wonder what Stein wants, does she want to ruin the system or is really looking for a real recount, that is for the reader to decide.

Recount Process - Part 4 - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " Bill Schuette, the attorney general of Michigan, said that the recount, initiated by Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, put Michigan voters at risk of “paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process.” "

Lets Get Real:

IF this blog understands the small print of the US election law, the result has to be ready by December 12th, as then we have the electoral college meet to vote for the President.  If there are any problems with the actual result the process moves to the House.   The Republicans control the House, thus one would think would give the Oval Office to Trump.   THUS one has to asked why is Stein doing this, she can not win, in that sense she is not even a player, the chances of HRC taking the Oval are even more remote, thus again WHY.   One can only suspect that it is a branding scam, trying to get the Stein and the Green Party more PR.   It is the poor tax payer that has to pay the costs.

Recount Process Part 3 - Trump vs. Stein - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Trump allies fight election recount 'mayhem' across Rust Belt..Michigan attorney general sues as campaign groups fight Wisconsin recount and Trump attorneys say Pennsylvania electors won’t be able to meet voting deadline "

Lets Get Real:

IF recall 2000 election you are starting to see the re-forming of the patterns that lead to that contested election, thus do not be taken aback when this case goes ALL the way up to the US Supreme Court, of course the COURT is tied, thus the last Court decision will stand, depends if the Judge is a Republican or Democratic appointment.   If all else fails the process moves to the House, as the Republicans control the House they will give the Presidency to Trump.   If your a political geek you will love this process, it could take weeks, well in to the New Year. Nothing is EVER over in US politics.

Just 1 more Vote for Clinton - Wisconsin Recount Process

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump team makes legal bid to block all THREE recounts as lawyers for the president-elect call Jill Stein suit a 'farce' - and massive Wisconsin effort nets Clinton just ONE vote  "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats and the left has to keep supporting the recounts efforts in the three rust belt States, you never know, and there is chance it MIGHT change the result.  There about 13 days to go before the electoral college meets, A chance of a Clinton victory looks slim, but you have to try, the thought of Trump in power after January 20th 2017 should cause even the most quiet person to be worried, so count States, and let us cross our fingers in hope.
