Donald Trump and Immigration - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he wants to end the automatic right to citizenship for all children born in the United States. "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that Mr Trump wants to rip up the US Constitution to get the Republican nomination for President.    This flawed policy should make sure who ever is the Democrat nominee has a easy run to the Oval Office.   There are million of illegal immigrants in the US, you can not throw them out, this would tear families apart, and is against the spirit of the US.   The Democrats should  hit Trump hard over this policy, they should be followed by the other Republican candidates, Trump is a joke as a candidate, the problem is that he might win. 

Burnham Waffle - Labour Leadership Contest

Telegraph: Reports " Andy Burnham: Labour's base has crumbled - we can't take anything for granted now..Andy Burnham, once the favourite to lead Labour, says his formidable rival Jeremy Corbyn isn't to blame for the party's crisis  "

Lets Get Real:

One gets the impression that Mr Burnham is a Northern Ed Miliband, the favourite at the start of the election he has seen his base of support move to Mr Corbyn.    IF Andy Burnham had fire in his belly it has gone very quite, you have to want the Labour leadership and you do what you have to do when it comes to taking the prize,  that means getting your hands dirty if you want to lead.    IF this blog had a choice it would be Liz Kendall, she comes from the right wing of the Party, but that base has become narrowed after Gordon Brown came in to power.   Interesting month ahead for Labour. 

Brown to ATTACK Corbyn !! - Labour Leadership Contest

Guardian: Reports " Gordon Brown to speak on Labour leadership as MPs panic over Corbyn..Labour MPs – among whom support for Corbyn is low – pushing for an intervention from Brown, who they believe has more credibility than Tony Blair "

Lets Get Real:

Lets see if former Prime Minister Gordon Brown can BRING the Labour Party to its senses, the former PM was very effective in Scotland when they had their vote if they wanted to remain part of the UK.   THE question is has the old New Labour hands left it to late to change the course of the leadership election.   The BIG MO is behind Corbyn, it almost like the Labour Party has given up on government for the future and is looking to be politically pure.   THERE is a cost to being pure, you're not in government and its not fun being in the opposition for two decades. 

New Labour Attacks Corbyn - Labour Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn is the political version of SUSAN BOYLE who people feel they 'have to back', says Alastair Campbell  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Mr Campbell strikes, his article of yesterday and now this, the old New Labour creators must be really worried, they have the Iraq Report to come and and now this, one can see Mr Corbyn throwing Blair etc out of the Labour Party if the Iraq report is damaging. If you're a Conservative you are having a good time, Labour tearing itself apart, lets have more fun, one can only wish that Mr Corbyn wins, then the Conservative Party will not face any real opposition in till 2025.  Even if one of the others win the Party has moved to the left, being left might make the Labour Party members happy but it will not win elections.  There is an old saying, be careful for what you wish for, it might happen. 

New Labour vs. Old Labour - Post 2015 Election

Daily Mail: Reports " Very 'survival of the Labour party' under threat, warns Jack Straw as Corbynmania sees 400,000 sign up for leadership election "

Lets Get Real:

The old New Labour hands have started to make their presence felt, that is good, they have to use every tactic in the book to prevent Jeremy Corbyn becoming leader, a Corbyn win would mean that the UK did not have a real opposition, the general voter will laugh at a Corbyn leadership, it would be for Labour the return to the opposition years of the early 1980s.   Corbyn wants to retaken the railways back under public control, take over business, regulate the private sector so it does not work.  Also he wants a closer link with Russia, the end of NATO, you get the idea voter.   As a Conservative blog this blogger wants Corbyn to win, the Conservative Party will then not have to worry in till 2025.

More on the Clinton email scandal - Election 2016

The Daily Beast: Reports " These weren’t just ordinary secrets found in Clinton’s private server, but some of the most classified material the U.S. government has. "

Lets Get Real:

Will the Obama Department of Justice throw the book at Hillary Clinton, no way, if she was a Republican they would, but this is their NEXT Queen, the expected Democrat nominee, the Democrats play Chicago hardball, expect nothing more after the FBI gets its hands on the Clinton server, they will slow walk the investigation.    By the time they are finished either Clinton will be POTUS or she would have lost, either way the file will be closed.   This blog lives in the real world, hardball politics is just business its not personal.

The Clinton Email Scandal - Election 2016

The Hill: Reports " Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on Wednesday sought to dismiss criticism that her decision to give the FBI her private email server suggested any admission of wrongdoing. "

Lets Get Real:

IF VP Biden wants to get in to the 2016 race this would be the time, the Clinton Campaign is under a cloud, its faces a tough fight from the left in the shape of Senator Sanders, the VP could be the back up choice, a safe pair of hands, who would have thought you would say that about Biden, as long as he keeps his gaffes in the low number and acts Presidential, he could get the nomination.  Interesting days if your a Democrat.
