Hillary Clinton and the 2016 Campaign - The Trump Era

The New York Times: Reviews a new book on the Clinton Campaign, " ... the portrait of the Clinton campaign that emerges from these pages is that of a Titanic-like disaster: an epic fail made up of a series of perverse and often avoidable missteps by an out-of-touch candidate and her strife-ridden staff that turned “a winnable race” into “another iceberg-seeking campaign ship.”

Lets Get Real:

The 2016 US Presidential Election will go down in history, it was not meant to end like it did, it recalls that famous photo of President Truman showing the headline from a newspaper that stated that he had lost the election, he of course had won.   In 1960 there was the close election between Kennedy and Nixon, and the iffy ballots in two States, in 2000 Gore should have won but he lost Florida and did not win his own home State.   In 2016 nearly ALL the polls showed that Hillary Clinton would win, and become the first woman President.  Well in the end Trump won the rust belt States.  As a contributor on CNN stated that DATA does not vote, the Clinton Campaign thought it understood the election process and how to engage the voter, through tracking mass data, it was bad mistake to make.   The LIBERAL LEFT will always blame the Russians, or the FBI, what they can not see and refuse to see is the FACT that HRC was a bloody bad candidate, she thought she was owed the Oval Office by right, in fact the US voter said NO, and they said that NO in the rust belt States, thus the electoral college win of Trump. 

Jeremy Corbyn and the General Election - Update 3- GE2017

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports in its 12.39pm post the following, " Asked if he would stand down if Labour loses the general election, Jeremy Corbyn said: "We are campaigning to win this election, that's the only question now" "

Lets Get Real:

Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Leader lives in own deluded World, even if Labour loses by a big amount the hard left will make sure that Corbyn stays on in power, they have been on the outside for decades, they do not want to lose the chance of controlling the Labour and the left in UK politics.   LET BE CLEAR, Labour is heading for a thrashing in the General Election, it will make 1983 General Election look like happy hour.   The UK voter is not going to vote for a leader who will not press the nuclear button, the electorate will support a strong leader, that is why Lady Thatcher won 3 general election in a row.   The UK if it is not careful could become a ONE PARTY State. 

GE 2017 - Update 2

Daily Mail: Reports " The most recent polls suggest Mrs May could get a Commons majority of 100 or more. She leads Jeremy Corbyn by more than 30 per cent when voters are asked who would make the best PM.  "

Lets Get Real:

THIS General Election could be a walkover, of course in a Democracy THINGS HAPPEN, what if the US goes to war with North Korea, the UK is was part of the Alliance troops that fought in the Korean War, thus we could be dragged in, also there is always a scandal, with the exception of the above it looks like the Labour Party is walking on to No Man's Land and there is no get out!!  The Election Manifestos of the political parties will be interesting, the Conservatives will push security, keep the UK's nuclear missiles and Brexit means Brexit, while Labour, God knows, Corbyn is made it clear he will never press the nuclear button, and wants a softer Brexit.   Thus 7 weeks of the General Election, this blog is a political geek, loves polls, debates, but endless 24/7 coverage of the election might even be too much of this geek, please after the election can we have some peace on the domestic front and abroad. 

UK General Election in 2017 - GE2017

BBC News Live Reporting: Reports that the Conservative PM, Theresa May has called an election for June 8th.

Lets Get Real: 

This is the best chance for PM May to gain her own majority at the General Election, I hear you ask, what about the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, the answer is simple, NO CHANCE IN HELL. The UK voter has made it mind up about Mr Corbyn, to left wing, he does not support the UK having its own nuclear missiles.   The Liberal Democrats want to be run by the EU, while SNP wants out of the UK and if it is not careful, out of the EU.  Thus weeks of an General Election and the result will be a massive Conservative Majority. 

Did the US cause the North Korean Missile Failure - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " North Korea's unsuccessful missile launch 'may have been thwarted by US cyber attack' "

Lets Get Real:

This would be an interesting development, the US caused problems for the Iran's nuclear plans through cyber warfare, the next stage it could be argued is to take down North Korea's nuclear structure without the use of a military strike.   Of course the problem is if NK thinks that the US did thwart the missile test it could take counter measures that could really cause a War.   One can only hope that the US and its Allies can keep a secret.   If the CIA and the NSA did the cyber attack it was a good job, they have earned their pay for the month. 

The TRUTH and North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports "  Reuters reported one US official as saying it was confident the failed projectile was not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). "

Lets Get Real:

It is HARD to know the truth about North Korea, it is one of the most closed societies in the World, no Internet, no anything, everything run by the Government, the people of North Korea think that it was the West that started the Korean War.   Thus the FAILED missile might have been an ICBM or not, the Western intelligence networks will have to work it out, as the test was a failure there is no need at the present for a Crisis.   The US and the West should just ignore North Korea, it always has it hand out for food and money, if it spent less on defence it could feed its people.   China as the big brother has to deal with NK, it is on their doorstep, better that China deal with the problem that the West having to take military action.

DID North Korea's ICBM FAIL? - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " According to a military official the weapon is 'presumed to be a new ICBM' as it is longer than the existing KN-08 or KN-14 missiles. "

Lets Get Real:

As long as North Korea's ICBM's fail then the Oval Office does not need to react, the failure speaks for itself, of course from failure the North Korean regime will learn to improve its faults.  Thus during a Trump Presidency there might be a need for a US strike on NK.   One would hope the CIA and the NSA have their eyes and ears open to check what is going on in NK.   Also the CIA should be hacking the NK system, seeing if it can slow down the development of a working ICBM.   Thus this crisis will pass, but it will return one day, and that day might be sooner than we think.   This is long term developing story.
