Does Hillary Clinton understand WHY she LOST? - Trump Era

Washington Post: Reports the following on the Hillary Clinton interview, " ...she did not assign any blame to her strategy or staff. Nor did she point to her own weaknesses as a candidate or the struggles by her and her team to understand the angry mood of key parts of the electorate. "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that HRC has started to believe her own press statements, it was the fault of the FBI, the Russians, men not wanting a woman President, she even thinks the press are the blame.   The real reason that HRC LOST was she was as unpopular or even more so that President Trump, the US voter did not want either as candidates but HRC was seen as part of the Establishment.  The Clinton Campaign has to look at how they manged to turn a Crowning event in to a loss twice, once in 2008 and later in 2016.   The common factor was HRC, she is not a good candidate, she gave the impression that the Presidency was hers by right, as if defending Bill Clinton over the years was a VIP route to the Presidency.   IF HRC really thinks the above is true then she has no chance in 2020 if she wants to run, the Democrats have given her two chances, and she has blown them twice, the Party can not afford another bad candidate. 

The Splits within Labour - Campaign Trail 21 - GE2017

Telegraph: Reports on remarks by the Labour Deputy Leader, Tom Watson, " Tom Watson appears to give up on Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister "

Lets Get Real:

Those with a brain cell are hoping to avoid Labour being destroyed on June 8th, thus they are seeking to move the context, rather than voting for a disaster that would be Jeremy Corbyn, Labour voters are told to think about their MP and how he or she will fight against a expected Conservative majority.   The Conservatives should highlight the above, it shows that the Labour Party is more interested in keeping alive than defending its leader and his wacky ideas.   The expected Conservative victory could be BIG.   On the other hand voters do not like to be taken for granted, thus the Conservatives have to act as if they are ten points behind, fight hard and mean. 

New Poll - Conservatives LEAD by 19% - Campaign Trail 20 - GE2017

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 3.28pm post the following, " Conservatives have 19-point lead over Labour, latest Guardian/ICM poll suggests

Here are the results of the latest Guardian/ICM poll.

Conservatives: 47% (down 1 from ICM last week)

Labour: 28% (up 1)

Lib Dems: 8% (down 2)

Ukip: 8% (up 1)

Greens: 4% (up 1)

Conservative lead: 19 points (down 2) "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good poll for the Conservatives, it shows they are holding their vast lead, this blog will be interested to see the polls after the political parties release their manifestos.   As there will be no TV debates it will be harder for Labour to gain traction on any one issue.   Also with Shadow Cabinet Ministers like Abbot the Conservatives not need to do much, they just have to keep to a simple message, thus far good show on campaign messaging.  A couple of weeks to go. 

The fiasco that is Diane Abbott - Campaign Trail 20 - GE2017

Daily Mail: Reports on the bad interview given by the Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott, " 'It'll cost £300,000... no, er £80million': Excruciating moment Diane Abbott tries to explain how Labour would fund election pledge of 10,000 more police officers during car crash interview "

Lets Get Real:

The left wing loons that make up the Corbyn Shadow Cabinet is headed by Diane Abbott, this is not the first time that she has placed a shoe in her own mouth, it can be argued that there are only two reasons that Abbott is in the Shadow Cabinet, she is a left wing loon like Corbyn and she dated him the 1970s.   The mess that is the Corbyn Labour Party should come to an end on June 9th, the very thought of Abbott as Home Secretary should make sure you have your passport ready to go if there is a shock election result.  The Labour Party will force Corbyn to go if he losses the election otherwise it is the end of Labour as an effective Political Party in the UK.   Vote Conservative in the local elections. 

PM May and the EU - Campaign Trail 19 - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " Theresa May says she will be a "bloody difficult woman" towards European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker during Brexit talks. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the kind of language that the UK voter wants to hear, it likes it when we have a tough PM, who will stand up to the EU, the rest of the political parties would be weak, heaven knows that the Labour Policy is on the EU, as for the Liberal Democrats they want to run by the EU.   The message that PM will be a bloody difficult woman reminds the voters of the glory days of Lady Thatcher.   The Conservative Party has won the spin cycle today.  JUST another few weeks to go, also recall to vote in the Council elections, Do I really have to tell you to who vote for for the local elections. 

The Left and former President Obama - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports on President Obama's speaking fees after the White House, " 

Barack Obama's $400,000 speaking fees reveal what few want to admit...The high-paid speeches were a sign that Obama’s post-presidency will, like his presidency was, be Democratic business as usual. And that means not radically altering the racial injustices of American economics. "

Lets Get Real:

The US/UK left want President Obama to be a Saint, they should recall that he was a Chicago Pol who go lucky in 2008, the banking Industry went off a cliff, and that was the wise view of VP Biden, at least he was honest about the election victory, it was nothing more or less.  A former President like anyone elses has to buy his bills, and Obama has been wiser that President Carter, after leaving office in 1980 Carter stated that he would not serve on boards as former Presidents had done, thus Carter has written numerous books, some that have gotten him to trouble in Israel.   President Obama served his nation with honour and was a symbol for African - Americans as to what they could achieve.   After those years he should be allowed to earn what he wants, the left are looking for a Saint, no man is that, even President Obama never reached those heights. 

Hillary Clinton and that LOSING feeling - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " How Hillary realized she'd lost: Insider account reveals how Clinton sat 'stone faced' and was 'suppressing the anger that touched every nerve in her body' as Trump beat her to the presidency "

Lets Get Real:

It was the most shocking ending to a Presidential election since 2000, the candidate that was suppose to win for the 2nd time had lost the election to a businessman who was loathed by half of the Country, just not as loathed as Hillary Clinton was 2016.  The experts the bloggers ALL had HRC winning, the polls had her winning every time.   In the end the US voter decided to shock the press, political elite and elected President Trump.  Of course there was the rumour that HRC would try for Mayor of New York, that would have been 100% election win, but after you lose the Presidency twice, once to Obama now Trump it must be hard to think that Mayor of New York would be the solution, you would be held by New Yorkers to make sure their bins were emptied, it hardly having the nuclear suitcase by you at all time.   The question is what now for HRC, could she run again in 2020, it would be tall order, and there is saying in US politics that there are no third acts in a political career. This blog would not count HRC out, after all we have a Trump Presidency.
