Former VP Harris and the 2028 Presidential race - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.59pm post the following, " Kamala Harris says she has "not made a decision" on potential 2028 run "

Let's Get Real:

It would be surprising if former VP Harris becomes the Nominee again, she lost it 2024, this blog can only think of 2 Presidents who came back from losing the general election, they were Nixon in 1968 after losing in 1960 and Trump in 2024 who lost it 2020, whatever he says on the subject.  In 2028, the 1st Democratic Primary will be South Carolina, a large African American vote, that should help Harris and Senator Booker.  The former is not a good candidate, one hopes the Democrats chose a moderate nominee like Bill Clinton or Obama at a push, the 2028 cycle should start after the Mid Terms, there a long list of potential Democratic candidates.

Biden not recognize George Clooney at fundraiser in 2024 - Trump 47

 CNN: Reports " Biden didn’t recognize George Clooney at 2024 fundraiser, new book says "

Lets Get Real:

The books have started on how President Biden was on the decline during his first term.   How can you not recognize George Clooney, an A Lister if the term mean that much in Hollywood these days.  This adds to the argument that President Biden should not have run in 2024 that he was protected by the Democratic machine and by the liberal media, the media should have been all over this during the primaries, when DNC moved South Carolina to the front of the pack and prevented a proper primary challenge.  The disastrous debate performance was seen by over 51 million Americans, the elites for a few weeks tried to say that the people had not seen what they had seen.   It was the WORSE debate performance in US Presidential history, worse even than when President Ford in 1976 debate said that Eastern Europe was not under Soviet Control.  Let's look at the future, none of the Democrats impressed at the moment, its only 2025, how about George Clooney for 2028, he as made his political bones with his letter, he has the backbone, time for another actor in the Oval.

Tump wins NH, Haley stays in race - Candidate 2024/General Election 2024

 CNN reports that former President Trump wins NH in Republican Nomination fight.

Let's Get Real:

So Haley is losing by double digits in NH.   This blog will not be surprised if the money men do not call time before SC.  The general election is on, thus Trump  vs. Biden, in less we get a third party candidate, but WHO? 

Could Senator Sanders be the Democratic Nominee - US 2020 Election

Daily Mail: Reports " Bernie Sanders is the BEST option to beat Donald Trump, Democratic voters say in shock poll - and he has sneaked ahead of Joe Biden in national black support  "

Lets Get Real:

It has been  a good few weeks for Senator Sanders, he had a BIG WIN Nevada, the Democratic Debate in South Carolina did not hurt him much, with the exception of his approval for some of Fidel Castro's domestic policies ( he did manage to say in an interview that he opposed the jailing of reformers in Cuaba ).   The South Carolina Primary is a must win for VP Biden, the polls give him a health lead, if he does win he can roll up the States on Super Tuesday.  On the other hand should Sanders gain further traction with the African - American vote then Biden could be finished.  It could all come down to Super Tuesday, 14 States are voting, it will be end of the road for some of the candidates, like Warren, Mayor Pete and Senator Klobuchar, they will not have the money to carry on.   The battle for the nomination could be down to Senator Sanders, VP Biden and Mayor Bloomberg, he as the money. 

The Latest South Carolina Poll - US Election Update - US 2020 Election

BBC News: Reports on the latest poll from South Carolina, " A poll by CBS/YouGov in the state last week found Mr Biden retains a narrow lead with 28%, with Mr Sanders at 23% and billionaire Tom Steyer at 18%. The same poll in November had put Mr Biden with 45% of the vote to Mr Sanders's 15%.  "

Lets Get Real:

In the last few days we have seen Senator Sanders win in Nevada and the Democratic Establishment getting the coffee, that Sanders is a major threat, the last poll from South Carolina shows that Biden is losing his LEAD.  The Democrats with a brain cell have worked out sometime ago that Sanders on top of the Democrat ticket would be a disaster for the rest of the ticket.  There hopes are two fold, that Biden can win SC and change the poll numbers or that Mayor Bloomberg can buy the nomination with his money, Super Tuesday is coming soon and it was reported that Biden has spent ZERO on adverts in the Super Tuesday State.  One only hopes that the Biden Campaign has gotten some bucks in and is spending like it gone out of fashion, otherwise the Campaign will be between Sanders and Bloomberg, one a multi billionaire and other with three houses.

Bloomberg in NEVADA Debate - US 2020 Election

Sky News: Reports " Michael Bloomberg to face rivals for first time at next Democratic debate...The multi-billionaire has so far run a tightly choreographed campaign, but this is likely to be challenged at the Nevada meet.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is when the Bloomberg campaign really gets into the race, according to CNN the former Mayor of New York and spend four hundred million of his 45 billion fortune on the election.  The uber liberal wing of the Democratic Party, the Sanders supporters will never move to support Mayor, they would be exchanging one billionaire for another, and one that has a record of supporting in their view racist policies while Mayor, such as search and frisk and of saying sexual comments around women.  Also the Sanders based is very tied to Sanders, they think the DNC stole the election in 2016 for HRC.  The Mayor needs to get the supporters of Buttigieg and Klobuchar to come around and support him, this would allow the moderates to nominate a moderate for the Democratic nomination.   The debate is tomorrow. 

Who is Tom Steyer and why is he a threat to Biden - US 2020 Election

CNN - Politics: Reports " Steyer, a former hedge-fund manager with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, already has spent more than $18.7 million on advertising to target South Carolina voters, swamping all of his rivals, according to Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we shall see if money can buy you a State, Steyer has spent the money and has a large local staff.  It would be a major upset if Steyer beat Biden, it would mean that African - American firewall so stressed by Biden had failed, and it can be postulated that Biden would retire from the game.  It would help Biden if his former boss, President Obama came out and supported him.  The former President has warned the Democratic Party that if it goes far to left it will not get elected.  The moderate lane has Biden, Buttgieg and Klobuchar, it can be speculated that Senator Klobuchar will get a bounce from her come back from political death in New Hampshire.   None of the candidates seem to have caught fire like Obama did in 2008. 

Trump and Super Tuesday - Election 2016

Telegraph: Reports " As polls show billionaire TV host set to win big in 'Super Tuesday' polls, Republican establishment is coming to terms with a Trump candidacy  "

Lets Get Real:

SO will it be the Donald after Super Tuesday or an Rubio and Cruz unite to defeat the the Trump.  It would be an interesting idea, what about a joint ticket, Rubio and Cruz, or the other way around, of course the hour is to late, the moderates and the Establishment should have thought of that a long time ago, so in political reality we could see Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, one does wonder if he will change his manner, his speech and policies, that might be asking to much, that is why this blog with regret is supporting HRC all the way to the Oval, the Clintons have their flaws, and BILL has major flaws, we all know what they are, but he does have a fine brain and would be a great help to HRC when it comes to foreign policy.    Who would have thought his blog would end up supporting HRC. 

Trump the Fascist ? Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Trump retweets quote attributed to fascist leader Mussolini...The tweet, created by a parody account and including Mr Trump's handle, read: "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep." 

Lets Get Real:

Let's hope the Donald does not use Mussolini as a political role model, when one starts to warm to the Trump he does something like this, thus forcing this blog back to supporting HRC all the way to the Oval.  In the case of HRC one can see her pandering, one sees her political mind rolling how to make sure the African American vote turn out for her.  This blog understands that the US voter is peeved, one could use more colourful words, BUT being angry does not allow them to vote for candidates who are extreme, Sanders on the left and now Trump on the right.   It can be said that 2016 is a VERY different kind of election. 

Trump LEADS in Florida - Election 2016

The Hill: Reports on a new poll for Florida,  " A Quinnipiac University survey released Thursday found Trump with 44 percent support. ...Marco Rubio, who represents Florida in the Senate, follows with 28 percent. Rounding out the field are Ted Cruz, at 12 percent; John Kasich, at 7 percent; and Ben Carson, at 4 percent. "

Lets Get Real:

IF Rubio can not keep his own State then its over for that Campaign, first up in that contest is Senator Cruz in Texas, two recent polls have Cruz ahead, IF Cruz can win Texas and Rubio in Florida then the Republican contest could go to the Republican Convention, then anybody could win, this blog has doubts that it will go that way, the Republicans have to learn to be fond of the Donald, make him part of the Establishment, then curb his more right wing views, of course the question is can the Donald be controlled, one would SAY NO, thus if Rubio can Cruz can not win other States the Republicans will just have to accept the Donald, yes its that bad, he could win the Oval, then the Republicans will worry, its not easy choice the Donald or HRC, one will need a drink in November for election night!!

The Donald and the Republican Establishment - Election 2016

Telegraph: Reports " A bolder strategy is needed. It's time for the Republican party to start to love the Donald, to groom him as their candidate, rein in his excesses and curb his profanities. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus can Conservatives learn to love the Donald, or at least not dislike him, that is a hard question, this blog has made it clear that it would support HRC over the Donald, but that was before HRC went extreme left to counter Senator Sanders.  At least the Donald is DIRECT, painful direct and very honest, can D.C take such a President.  Although some of the polices suggested by Trump are racist, banning Muslims from coming to the US, one can see how the Establishment could tune such views down or suggested different paths to reach the same goal, that is the national security of the US.   This blog is not sold on the Donald yet, but the more HRC goes left the more this blog is left to return to the Trump.    Cruz would be a disaster as a President, Rubio would be good, but can he win any States, including his own.   Next week should be interesting, a lot of States go to vote, lets see how the Donald does. 

Romney on Trump - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has a "bombshell" hidden in his tax returns, the party's 2012 nominee Mitt Romney has warned. "

Lets Get Real:

WHY, WHY has former Governor Romney done this attack on Trump, it could be sour grapes that he did not win in 2012, when he should have won after Obama's first term, or he could be throwing a dice for the Republican Establishment, who do not like Trump and wish either Rubio or Cruz to the be the 2016 Nominee for the Republicans, the Trump has not reacted well to these comments, as the article notes, " Mr Trump has hit back calling the ex-governor "one of the dumbest and worst candidates" in Republican history. ".   I think it can be agreed that Trump is a billionaire, his buildings show that, Trump is Trump after all, would a President Trump be that BAD?

Nevada GOES for TRUMP - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has easily won the US state of Nevada, cementing his lead in the race for the party's nomination. "

Lets Get Real:

IF this blog betted on political results it would be risky to vote against the Donald for the Republican nomination, Senator Rubio needs to win States, he has to win his home State of Florida, while Cruz has to take Texas.   One can see a way to the Republican nomination for Trump, but with each loss it gets harder for Rubio.    Let's postulate that Trump wins the nomination, then the Democrats have to get their election over fast and ALLOW HRC to become the Democratic nominee, as the Donald is funding himself, the Democrats have to hit their supporters hard for money, and lot of money, lets see if the Clintons can match the Donald.  The Democratic Primary in South Carolina is expected to go to Clinton, the Democratic Establishment has to place pressure on Sanders to get out, the longer he stays the more flak Clinton will face from Trump and Sanders. 

The Early Days of Hillary Clinton - Election 2016

Lets Get Real:

This pushes all the emotional buttons, but does it work, NO, the 2016 Election is about the FUTURE, not the past, HRC is not very good on the campaign trail, and you can bring all the Hollywood stars you like it does not change that, but if its a choice between HRC and Sanders then this blog is ALL FOR HRC ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL. 

Nevada and Clinton - Election 2016

Lets Get Real:

A very moving advert by the Clinton Camp, your heat would have to be made of stone not to feel that HRC is doing a good job.   The cynic side of this blog can smell a set up from a mile, the Clinton Camp would have know the story and thus make sure HRC heard, that is the problem with the HRC, you can see the political mind moving, that is why HRC will never be Bill, and even Bill is no longer Bill.   

New Republican Poll - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports on a new CBS poll for Republicans, on the national level, " Trump tops the field with 35% support, followed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 18% support and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in third place with 12%, per the survey. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus it can be argued that the race is for Trump to lose, in less ALL the other candidates drop and out and allow only one real challenge this race is over, the Donald has the money to outspend the other candidates, and he is a billionaire, he can just write himself a cheque.   This blog would never support, Trump or Cruz, the question is can Rubio get through, is he to callow a youth, the next election cycle might suite him, politics is a hard business, no prizes for coming 2nd. 

The Pope on the Donald Part 3 - Election 2016

Telegraph: Reports the following on the remarks of the Pope on Trump and his plan for building a wall between the US and Mexico, " But he said: "As far as whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to meddle in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that."  "

Lets Get Real:

The liberal left with love this, let's see how the other Republican candidates and voters react.  The South Carolina vote is only two days way, will the born again Christians take any notice of the Pope, will the other Republican candidates use the attack in their adverts.  That is the fun of US politics, there is always something coming down the road, and the candidates have to deal with it, one can tell a lot how a candidate will behave when he or she is under pressure, and being attacked by the Pope is a major event.
