POTUS critical of Biden - Pre Election Skirmish 2020

Daily Mail: Reports " Joe Biden is a 'pretty incompetent guy' says Donald Trump as he renews attack on Democratic 2020 frontrunner saying: 'He's lost his fast ball!'  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus IF the Trump Oval is right, the election of 2020 will be between President Trump and former VP, Joe Biden.  This is August 2019, it is going to be a LONG year and half before the election.  As stated in my recent post, Joe Biden is losing support in New Hampshire, the combined vote of Senators Sanders and Warren would BEAT the moderate Biden ( Reagan called him a smooth demagogue ), thus it can be expected that Biden will use any issue to get elected, thus his recent comments as mentioned in the article, that Biden is attacking the language used by Trump when it comes to race, and is part of the reason for the shootings, the Gipper was right, Biden will use anything, very LOW POLITICS, but then Trump uses low politics.   The 2020 election will be about gutter politics, who can get their base out, thus expect Biden and Trump not to aim high, no shining City on a Hill from Reagan's rhetoric, but low gutter politics, one assumes that is what Americans want. 

Labour Shadow Chancellor BACKTRACKS over SNP Alliance - General Election 2019?

Sky News: Reports " Unity government plan scuppered by Labour's refusal to deal with SNP 'Tories'..Nicola Sturgeon responds by saying she is open to creating a "progressive alliance" to stop a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.  "

Lets Get Real:

One assumes someone in Labour has reminded the Shadow Chancellor that if Scotland goes out of the UK, then there will be NO LABOUR MPs from there and Labour can never form a majority Government.  Or the Leader, Jeremy Corbyn has woken up after TEA and found that his Shadow Chancellor was stating party policy that was counter to the policy of Scottish Labour and of the Labour Party itself.  This is the problem when order has broken down in both political parties, individual MPs start to think they are God's gift and can say what they like and no counter punch.    The UK either way needs a General Election, new MPs are needed that understand the rules, so it is about time that the Conservatives and Labour Parties start to de-select MPs and get order back into the system.  This blog smells an election coming as early as September! 

Monica's STORY - The Impeachment of Bill Clinton - Culture/Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " President Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and the 1999 impeachment proceedings it led to are to be dramatised on US television. "

Lets Get Real:

It will be good to hear the side of the story from Monica Lewinsky, and since is one of the Producers it can be assume it will not be sleazy, no Cigar mentions ( read up on the subject if you must ).  This blog on the whole does not follow crime stories, but since it's the team behind  the murder of Gianni Versace, a taught excellent drama, it is worth a look.  As this blog has stated, it was others who paid the price for Bill Clinton, it can be argued that Al Gore lost the 2000 Election because of the Clinton affair with Lewinsky, in normal course of events, a good economy, the US at peace the voter it was expected to vote for Gore, it did not, well Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote to Bush 43, when the US Supreme Court decided in essence that Florida had gone for Bush 43.   The course of history was set from 9/11 onwards.  Then in 2016 HRC was the nominee, and she also lost the electoral college vote, with half of the Country wanting to lock her up because of the deleted emails, it was a really shock when Trump won the three States he need to become President.   One of the fears of voters was what would Old Dog do in the White House, that being Bill Clinton.  Thus as stated others paid the costs for Bill. 

The Queen and the House of Commons - General Election 2019?

Daily Mail: Reports " How the Queen could be dragged into a constitutional crisis with demands for her to SACK Boris Johnson as MPs and the PM clash over No Deal Brexit "

Lets Get Real:

What if the Queen says NO, will the HARD REMAINERS start attacking the Queen, there are limits of how much the people will put up from an OUT OF CONTROL House of Commons. A national Government would never work, one does not see Jeremy Corbyn allowing Labour moderates to serve in power while he is just expected to support their moves, this would be like the 1930s all over again.  The Remainers sooner or later will have to face the VOTERS, they will no care if some politicians think that they are better and understand the issues. If a Conservative MP votes to bring down the Government, then the whip should be removed, this would mean that the MP can stand as an Individual MP but not as a Conservative MP.  All political careers end in FAILURE, but there would be no forgiveness this time, no honours, no knighthoods or a place in the House of Lords, these MPs would be froze out political life, no coming back, it can be lonely if you are seen to have betrayed the Party and the Country. 

Biden FEELING THE HEAT in New Hampshire - Election 2020

The Hill: Reports on a new poll in New Hampshire, " Biden at 21 percent support, followed by Sanders at 17 percent and Warren at 14 percent. No other candidate has double-digit support in the Granite State.  "

Lets Get Real:

This could mean trouble for the moderate Joe Biden, the former VP to Barack Obama, it shows that the attacks on him from his Senatorial to his Vice Presidential record have had some effect.  The Biden Campaign should be concerned that it could be defeated in Iowa or New Hampshire, one does not have to go back in history to show what happens if that occurs, HRC was seen as the presumptive nominee in 2008, but then she lost IOWA and Barack Obama showed that he could win over white voters, the fear for the Biden camp is that Sanders or Warren could build the BIG Momentum from such a win.  It would be wise for the former VP to spend  a lot of time in Iowa and NH, the voters in these States liked to be asked for their votes, not just assumed to be voting for the right candidate.   Also the next debate will have fewer candidates, so more time for a better debate and not just sound bites. 

General Election in September or October - Election 2019?

Daily Mail: Reports " Boris Johnson says an election is the 'last thing I want' despite claims aides are ALREADY plotting a pro-Brexit campaign - as PM vows the UK WILL leave the EU by Halloween 'whatever the circumstances' "

Lets Get Real:

This blog does not trust the House of Commons and its Speaker, they will find someway to BLOCK BREXIT, they do not play by the rules, thus neither should Boris, even if he loses a No  Confidence vote he should not resign, as the House of Commons passed the fixed term Parliament Act there is no need, there is a 14 day intervention for another Government to be formed.   Thus Boris should take us out of the EU and then have an election, do the people want to go back to the EU and accepting the Euro and not getting our money back under a Lady Thatcher's deal in the 1980s.   The election would be the people versus the House of Commons, also will Labour MPs from LEAVE Seats really fancy an election, that is the question the REMAINERS should be asking themselves. 

The need for TOUGH Gun Control in the US - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " President Donald Trump has condemned hatred and white supremacy in a public address following mass shootings that left 31 dead in Texas and Ohio.  "

Lets Get Real:

There needs to be tough gun control in the US, there is no reason for there to be so many handguns or other weapons out there.  Only the Police and other authorities should have guns.  One can see the argument for guns on ranches, and for the Army and the National Guard to have guns, but why anyone else needs guns is a mystery.  If you had a strong President who would take the political attack to gun owners then you might get somewhere, Trump will not, and neither will the US Congress,  money is the mothers milk in politics and the Congress is always in campaign mode.  It would take a BRAVE Congress to ban guns except for the groups above, thus will not holding my breath.    The US has move to restrict gun ownership.
