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. 

The Pope and the Donald Part 2 - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " Pope Francis said "a person who thinks only about building walls... and not of building bridges, is not Christian". "

Lets Get Real:

Thus there is video footage of the Pope saying the above, in less the translation is wrong, one has doubts.  This question is will Catholic voters not vote for Trump if they were going to because the above, one has doubts, the Donald takes everyone and does not seem to lose votes.   One would think the Pope would have more internal problems to deal with, and we  all know what they are, as is says in a good book, give to Caesar his due, in other words stay out of politics.  No one gets it 100% right, not this Pope or any Pope, in less they read their press reports. 

The Pope vs. The Donald - Election 2016

Guardian: Reports " Donald Trump calls Pope Francis 'disgraceful' for questioning his faith..Trump responds after the pope suggests presidential candidate is ‘not a Christian’ because of his plan to build a border wall between the US and Mexico "

Lets Get Real:

On this the blog hates to agree with the Donald, this Pope is political and would understand how his words would come across, this is not the first time the Pope has gone political, he told Catholics they should have more children than pets, HAS THE POPE ever had a pet! then he called the Falklands Island by their Argentina name and then finally he helped with a better relationship with Castor's Cuba and the US, who asked him?  This Pope might be very humble, but that does not stop him from being political and naive. 

Trump on Ted Cruz - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports on the following remarks by Donald Trump on Senator Ted Cruz, " "Ted Cruz is a liar, I mean he really just outright lies," he continued. "He'll say whatever he wants to say. I actually think he's a very unstable person, I really believe that. I think he's a very unstable person. But I've never had somebody take something that you believe in and just say the exact opposite." "

Lets Get Real:

One would have to VERY drunk to think that Donald Trump would make a good President, you would have to buy a third hand nuclear bunker. you would just know that with the first six months of his Presidency he would end up in a WAR with someone with a nuke, take your pick on who.  But that is not the worse, a Cruz Presidency would see the West in a war within six weeks.   Thus the need for a moderate candidate, right wing yes, but not a ego maniac or nuts, that is not asking a lot  of the US voter.  This blog is supporting Bush/Rubio for SC, one hopes but ones political gut is telling one that Trump will win in SC. 

Advert in support of Senator Rubio - Election 2016

Lets Get Real

The only real political threat to HRC is Senator Rubio, he is young, good on the TV and has a proud ethnic background, also he has shown that he can work with the other side, in politics you fight but also you cut deals.  Let's see what the good people of SC want in a President, a ego maniac, or a real leader. 

Trump on the Death of Justice Scalia - Election 2016

Guardian - US Politics Live: Reports in its 6.21 post the following, " ..radio host Michael Savage had Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump agreeing that the circumstances of Scalia’s death were “pretty unusual.” "

Lets Get Real:

One came to the conclusion that the 2016 Presidential race for the Republicans had gone in to fantasy land a few months ago with the lead of  Donald Trump in the polls, not it can be confirmed that the Republican front runner has lost the plot, he will be saying next that there are UFO's in Area 51.   ONE can only hope that the good voters of SOUTH CAROLINA vote for someone with sane, such as the following candidates, Kasich, Rubio or Bush.   The Party of Reagan has fallen of the cliff at the moment, the GOP needs another Reagan, thus far he or she has not turned up.
