POW!
WHAM! KA POW! SPLAT!
Oh man, this is far better
than the old Batman TV shows I used to watch.
Here is how you can sum up the race to be the next president of the USA
In about four months, the
results of the Iowa Primary Caucasus are the first test of the People's Will in
controlling their destiny. Can the
People Take Back America and restore the former Glory of the good old US
of A?
Presidential Candidates
The Silent Majority of
both political parties have stunned so-called political pundits by propelling
the underdogs to the overdogs position as the first sign of the collapse of the
Institution called politics.
The result is startling.
The Race for Nomination by the Democrats
The Queen of the
Democratic party, Hillary Clinton, who has been in politics since birth and is
the epitome of "politics as usual" has watched in horror as her
favorability rating literally shattered the glass floor as it dropped toward
oblivion.
Poor Hillary is so bad off
she had to unleash the Big Dog of presidential politics, hubby Bill, a sure
sign of campaign desperation, far ahead of schedule since the election is still
over a year away.
Is it just me, or do you
also find it rather ironic she sent Bill Clinton to win back the female vote
that is deserting her at an astonishing pace.
Hillary must know best after all her experience with Bill.
Thus, Hillary was anointed
the ONE in the Democratic Party to shatter the glass ceiling of no woman ever
being president. Her campaign began in
earnest a long time ago with her about a thousand points ahead of her nearest
rival.
Ever since, due to being
over-managed and isolated from the News Media, she watched her favorability rating
flame out. But lo and behold, and
defying all odds of political reality, there is an old socialist who is not
even a Democrat, he has so little regard for the Institutions, and he keeps
getting bigger and bigger all the time in her rear view mirror.
Hillary slipped into the
position of representing the dreaded Democrat Establishment, the
Potomac Politicians who think everyone in America
Of course that did not sit
well with those of the far left, make that far, far left. When Hillary tried to sell herself as a
reincarnated far left liberal, the image smacked of deception. Called out by genuine true left spokespeople like Elizabeth Warren, the rising
star from Massachusetts , and Bernie Sanders,
the long-standing Vermont
Now not only do people not
trust her, she has slipped behind in the polls to the man who hopes to become
the oldest person ever elected president.
Bernie could become the first president from the hippie era who actually
represents hippies and advocates socialism.
What is stranger is that
the youngest generation, the millennial 18-35 years old, also love Bernie. It might have something to do with the
popular movie Weekend at Bernies, featuring
an old dead guy being pushed around in a wheelchair all weekend by his young guests. Who knows what motivates the young. Well, you get the picture.
Never mind that most
socialists in America
The result of all this
nonsense is clear, the Democrats are a single candidate force, either Hillary,
the prohibitive favorite in spite of collapsing polls, or the oldest dude to
covet the presidency who is neither a Democrat, nor a capitalist, Bernie Sanders.
The Race for Nomination by the Republicans
While Hillary has been the
favorite for the Democrats since Obama was re-elected in 2012, the GOP is quite
the opposite. The closest the GOP had to
a favorite was Jeb Bush, whose brother and father were presidents.
In fact, George Senior
lost his second term to an unknown named Bill Clinton because of a rebellion
against the Republican establishment by populist Ross Perot. Sound familiar? Unfortunately, for Jeb, he is the political
Establishment. As a result, instead of
leading in the polls all year, Jeb started at his peak and has been slipping
ever since.
Nowhere has the people's
rebellion against the establishment and status quo been more obvious than in
the GOP contest. As many as seventeen
candidates were running at the same time, and some of the best and brightest
young Republicans were in the race.
Then along came Donald Trump who
quickly trumped the news media, the political pundits, even the political
establishment. To a person they labeled Trump
an "entertainer" with no chance to become a viable candidate.
Described by Iowa
His campaign took off like
a rocket bullying its way to the top of the polls. Ever since he began his detractors, Democrat
and Republican, along with the political pundits and news media, have been predicting
a variety of reasons why he will not survive. Among them his pending collapse, his loss of
interest, his forthcoming drop in the polls, his inexperience in government, blah,
blah, blah. In every instant, they are dead
wrong.
Trump has changed the
rules of modern campaigning. As the consummate
outsider, a successful real estate and gambling tycoon, and free speaking
conversational business man, he defines what is wrong with America to allow someone like Trump to belong to
the elite 1% of the population that controls most of America
When Trump is attacked by
a cynical liberal reporter Trump counter-attacks normally leaving the
journalist dazed. The same is true when
opponents attack Trump in the course of the campaign, you better be ready to hold
on. He has a great advantage and not
just that he has no political baggage, he believes "political
correctness" is senseless.
For a non-politician Trump
sure can outflank the politicians and stand alone as the only true protector of
the middle class. He stole it from
Hillary since no one believes she is sincere. If you add the poll numbers for Trump, Ben
Carson, and Carly Fiorina, the three outsider GOP candidates, they represent
over 50% of the electorate.
Most recently, Carly has
been getting all the attention with her 14 point surge in the polls, the most
in either party race. She dominated the
debates, has by far the best TV and viral commercials, is policy wise and
politically savvy. Carly is no longer a
dark horse but a potential winner.
What an exciting political
campaign it could be, if Hillary and Carly won their party nominations and
squared off in the general election. With
women on both tickets, America
Just behind the three
outsiders Marco Rubio trails, with the preseason favorite Jeb Bush squandering
in the middle of the pack. Of course, it
is early, and even the Donald seems to be stuck in the 25-33% range.
Speaker of the House
Just when we think the
political situation is stabilizing and the world may survive, it reminds us of
the seven years of foreign ineptness by the Obama Administration as the Middle
East, specifically Syria , Iran , Iraq ,
and Yemen
Our strategy failed, our plans
and policy is non-existent, we failed to see the refugee crisis we would
trigger, and our traditional allies are skeptical. When it comes to our adversaries, like Obama archenemy
Vladimir Putin among others, they are embarrassing us daily.
So the Pope comes to town,
addresses a Joint Session of Congress, and the Republican Speaker of the House,
John Boehner, resigns as speaker and congressman stunning the world. He says he decided after talking to the
Pope. The radical Republican right is
joyful.
About a week later, the
leading candidate to replace Boehner, Kevin McCarthy, also withdraws minutes before
the first ballot to elect him. Again,
the media and politicians are stunned.
All is still well with the people who could care less about the persistent politics on capitol hill.
Stay tuned folks the chaos
is bound to get even better in days and weeks to come.
Now if only the Chicago
Cubs could win their first World Series in 107 years and break the longest
championship drought in history.
