Could the Democrats have really dumped HRC in 2016 ?- Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " Donna Brazile, the former interim head of the Democratic National Committee, says in a new book that she considered replacing Hillary Clinton as the party’s 2016 nominee with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. after Mrs. Clinton suffered a fainting spell..."

Lets Get Real:

Although the elite liberal press always state that its the Republicans that are in mess over Trump, in FACT it's the Democrats who are in a civil war, Obama left the DNC with no money, thus they had to be funded by the Clinton Campaign, and then HRC turned out to be a poor politician, the people who did her book tour were better operators that her campaign staff.   There is no no new leader out there, the runners for 2020 are Senators Warren and Sanders and they are in their 70s.   In 2020 both Parties could have new leaders if Trump does not run for a 2nd term or he gets impeached  before then, one never knows, if the Democrats can retake Congress in 2018 then they might go for Impeachment just to keep their base happy.   One thing about US politics its fun. 

POTUS might talk to North Korea!! - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Donald Trump: I would sit down for talks with Kim Jong-un..US president says he would be open to a meeting with North Korean leader, but that it is not time to do so yet "

Lets Get Real:

Either you are going to talk to North Korea or go to WAR, they are the only choices.   As it has been stated by many a War in Korea would be disaster, hundreds if not millions would die, on the other hand do you want to appease a Stalinist State, or give the impression to Iran that all it has to do is get the bomb to warn the US off.   It can be expected that North Korea will try to get in to act of Trump visiting Asia, thus they might launch more missiles or even worse test a nuclear device out in the open, that would be seen as a major threat and the US would have to take action.  Talk, Talk is just about better than War, War when it comes to North Korea, but then let us see what happens. 

US Defence Department and North Korea - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " A Pentagon assessment has declared the only way to completely destroy all parts of North Korea's nuclear weapons programme is through a ground invasion. "

Lets Get Real:

This is the usual strategy by the US Defence Department, after Vietnam and Iraq the US Department sometimes has to be pushed to take action, thus they develop a terrible end game, ground invasion, many deaths on both sides, it is meant to frighten the politicians over at the White House, they tried that with Bush 41 when it came to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, the President replied that the US military would get what it wanted, not the endless debates they normally seek.   The Democrats will push this, they have gone to the left, it's the Party of Senator Sanders and Warren, the old THIRD way of President Clinton is long gone.  Let's see who blinks first, Trump, the US Defence Department or North Korea. 

The UK should walk away from the EU - NO Deal Better Deal - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports " David Davis concedes Brexit financial deal will probably favour EU..The Brexit secretary admits to a House of Lords committee that the cost of the UK leaving EU was likely to be ‘a sore point’ "

Lets Get Real:

The UK should not pay a farthing to the EU, if the Government wants to spend billions in a divorce deal then the Hard Brexit MPs should bring down the Government.   The UK voter does like or trust the EU, it does not want to spend billions on the pensions for EU civil servants.    The May Government should go to the Country again, state that the hard remainers want to stay in the EU and want to spend billions on keeping the EU happy.  Conservative MPs should be threatened with a General Election, that will show how brave the hard remainers are and those that want a soft Brexit. 

Trump on Russian Connection - Update - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " George Papadopoulos: Trump trashes 'low level' indicted aide "

Lets Get Real:

THUS the real long fight starts between President Trump and the Special Prosecutor, it will be up to the prosecutor to prove his case in a quick manner, one can expect that Trump will fire him if he takes to long, the Trump Oval is not going to wait years to be under investigation.   The Democrats must hope that the Special Prosecutor get to the red meat of the connection between the Trump Team and the Russian Government in a quick manner, they want to run on impeaching Trump in 2018, so can Mueller get to the end point before he is fired. That is the question. 

The Russian Connection Part 3 - Russian Scandal - Trump Era

Telegraph: Reports " The White House distanced itself from George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, on Monday after he admitted lying to the FBI about meetings with people linked to Russia.  "

Let's Get Real:

When do American politicians and staff learn never to lie to the FBI, the clever ones just say they can not recall, the prosecutor can not nail you for perjury if you have a BAD memory, how ever much they do not believe you, this worked for Ronald Reagan during Iran - Contra and HRC with her scandals.   Those that think they are brighter than the FBI land themselves in trouble and cause problems for their political Masters.   One will see how much damaging information Mr Papadopoulos has on the Trump Campaign and Administration.   This will be  LONG fight, it will take years. 

The Allegations against Paul Manafort - Russian Connection - Trump Era

Guardian - Live: Reports the following post at 9.06pm , " CNBC has published a detailed interactive chart of the funds allegedly laundered by Paul Manafort through offshore accounts over the course of some seven years.    In detailing the alleged scheme, Mueller’s office listed more than 200 transactions involving payments from shell companies and offshore accounts for property, men’s clothing, antiques, home improvement and cars. "

Lets Get Real:

One should recall that the Watergate break took place in 1972, the resignation of Richard Nixon was in 1974, and Trump is no Nixon, he will fight and he has the money and base support for this to last years. When it comes to Iran Contra, it broke late in 1986 after the Mid Terms, Reagan and his staff did a great job of dealing with the legal and political aspects of the scandal, at the end Reagan got a slap on the hands for bad management skills, while Bill Clinton and his scandal took up 1998 and only came clean when he had no choice.   The Democrats best hope is that they take the House and Senate in 2018, otherwise it does not matter what they want, the Republicans will stall in till 2020, there is already talk that Trump will not run for a 2nd term, with his poll ratings that could be a good idea, he does not want to be a LOSER.   This story is far from over.
