Trump Closing the Gap, Clinton Fading

I keep hearing repeatedly that Trump is the only Candidate the GOP could have put up that would lose to Clinton. 

I have been trying to figure out what kind of thinking the people making those statements has.  First of all, no other Candidate in the field for the GOP garnered even half the votes Trump did.  If Trump isn't going to beat Hillary, I am not sure how they thought anyone else would.  I am guessing it is just the sore loser mentality on their part.

However, Trump is a different type of Candidate.  It is almost impossible to go into this election with any sort of certainty on what the polls mean and who will win.  There simply is no data that is going to help you get a picture of it.  Trump doesn't fit into any of the previous situations.  If you remember right, when he first started out everyone of these people said that Trump had Zero chance of winning the nomination.  The argued it right down to the bitter end.  So for the same people to be saying he has zero chance of winning the General election doesn't really hold any relevance. 

Trump isn't your typical Republican.  Quite honestly I am not sure he is a Republican.  I know that makes the talking heads explode.  They don't believe he is a Republican either.  I don't think he is a Democrat either.  I think that he is probably more so an Independent.  You know what, Thank GOD!!!!  Truth be told the problem with America is both the Democrats and the Republicans fault.  They have all sold out to the party.  They don't ever really do much thinking for themselves anymore.  They do what their party tells them.  That is the problem.

I think this has created a problem with the polls.  People who are the Staunch Republicans won't ever admit that they are going to vote for Trump.  The fact that they will, well that will be their dirty little secret.  Face it, nobody who is even somewhat GOP will sit out this election and allow Hillary Clinton to win.  They just can't.  It is not who they are.  They will vote Trump, but they will never admit it.  Then you have the group of Democrats who will not be able to vote for Hillary.  She just doesn't stand for what they believe in and they are also fed up with the Democratic party and all the stuff that happened with Bernie Sanders.  They are in the same boat with the Staunch Republicans.  They are so angry with the establishment and can't vote for Hillary, but will never admit that they will vote Trump.  Some will and some won't vote at all.  Still a bonus for Trump. 

I think this election is going to be very close.  If I had to decide right now, I would say very close and maybe a very slight edge to Clinton.  However, I see a growing trend that Trump is surging and his antics have come down quite a bit.  I think that he is showing a different side.  I think you see that with almost every poll showing a dramatic close.  I think the first debate could really set this election off for either Candidate.  I think Trump could seal the deal with the first debate if he plays his cards right.

Scott Walker Reforms Saving Billions for Wisconsin Taxpayers

The reforms weren't popular with the Left.  As a matter of fact, thousands of protesters were in Madison to protest Act10 and our esteemed Democratic Senators had to run and hide out in Illinois to avoid the bill being voted on.  However the GOP Senate found a way around the Democrats ploy and the bill passed the Senate and Walker was able to sign the bill into law.  The Democrats and the Unions fought it out in court and lost every time. 

Now five years later the MacIver Institute is reporting that Act 10 has saved $5.24 Billion for Wisconsin Tax Payers. 

Obama Describes Hillary Clinton

Talk Radio Still Doesn't Get It

As I just got back from Vacation I had on Talk Radio yesterday listening to the Local Conservative Talking Heads talk about Trump.  How he appeared to be softening his approach on deporting 11 million Illegal Immigrants.  They talked about how he is flip flopping and will lose support from his most hardened supporters. 

Caller after caller said that they didn't think he would lose support.  Caller after caller said how they understood that it was probably an UN-achievable goal, but a starting point to negotiate a better Immigration plan.

The Host continued after every caller to complain that he is flip flopping and this will cost him support.

I have spent the last week on vacation talking to people across the country about the election.  I thought that after listening to the Talking Heads on Talk Radio and the Mainstream Media that no one like Trump and he is going to get cleaned up in the election.  I was surprised to hear tons of support for Trump.  They like that he isn't politically correct.  They like that he isn't a politician.  They realize he is going to say things that a politician wouldn't, but that he will make common sense changes to the way things are and not be so tied up in the politics that have stagnated our Government. 

These Talking Heads that are whining about how Trump is going to lose and that the GOP should never had made them the Nominee are the problem with the GOP in the first place.  They don't appear to really care what the American People think or the GOP Voters.  They think that a relative few in the party should decide for the Majority.  The odd thing is, they don't want a Democracy at all.  They want to Dictate to the Majority who and what the party should stand for. 

In the Primary Trump Garnered almost 13 Million Votes.  Cruz was the next closest at almost 5 Million Votes.  Yet these Talking Heads want to go against the Majority.  Unless they really think the GOP only has 8 million voters (the total of all other votes in the GOP Primary).  If that is the case they are in real trouble.

Voters decide.  That is how it is meant to be.  Unless you are the Democratic Party and then you can pick your nominee and forget the voters.  Ouch!

Does Clinton Believe Her Own BS?

Hillary Clinton again made the assertion that she has been truthful to the American People about her Email Scandal.

FOX News:

“And as the FBI said, everything that I’ve said publicly has been consistent and truthful with what I’ve told [the FBI],” Clinton said Wednesday in an interview with Brandon Rittiman of KUSA News.

Even though multiple Fact Checking outlets have rated this anywhere from "Pants on Fire" to "Outright Lie".

She obviously is just outright lying or delusional.   Either way, how can you call Trump unfit to be President?  When pressed that the FBI Director in fact said that her comments were not truthful, Clinton Responded.

FOX News:

“That's not what I heard Director Comey say … Director Comey said that my answers were truthful and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails,” she said.

I am not sure how her backers really think that she can get away with this.  All though she has gotten away with more things than anyone else.  Maybe the American People really are as Stupid as she thinks they are.

Donald Trump Crazy or Just Normal?

I watch as the news media and people rip on Donald Trump for things he says and does.  I laugh when I hear them all say, "you just don't do that" or "You have to act more like Obama or Bush". 

They are comparing Donald Trump to seasoned, life long Politicians.  People that have spent many many years being handled by people who have been in the Political game for years.  Donald Trump is not a life long Politician.  He has spent his life working in the real world.  Everything is Politically Correct.  If someone attacks you, you attack back.  If someone is feeding you a line of BS, then you call them on it.  If someone is crooked, then you tell them that they are crooked. 

I get so tired hearing Politicians refer to other Politicians as "My Fried" when we all know damn well they can't stand each other.  Let's get back to brutal honesty.  Tell it like it is and don't sugar coat things.

Did I think that Donald Trump was wrong for attacking the Father of a Soldier killed?  I didn't think it was very appropriate.  I think we owes those families a great deal of respect and thanks for their sacrifices.  I also don't think that the Father was appropriate in his comments about Donald Trump.  Donald Trump had nothing to do with their son.  Not in any way.  I think that the Father was also inappropriately using his son's death as Political tool and found that to be very inappropriate.

Donald Trump isn't always going to say the right things.  He isn't always going to be the everything is great and cheery guy.  I just want him to tell me how it is without all the candy coating.  I want him to be honest with me and be willing to do what it takes to get the job done, not get re-elected.  Hopefully along the way he learns how to handle some things better.

Which Obama do You Believe? Which Candidate?

President Obama said:

"Trump is unfit to Be President"  - If you believe what he says then lets look at what else he has said.

"Hillary will say anything to get elected"

Obama said: "The former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling. He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts ... This has become a habit, and one of the things that we're going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he's making statements that are not factually accurate."

 You also think that it was the GOP that was racist against Blacks and Obama?  Well think again.

Huffington Post:

Throughout the 2008 election season, racist and bigoted smears about Barack Obama circulated online, and bubbled up into mainstream conversation about the campaign in the traditional news media. Two of the most prominent lies about Obama, which persist to this day, were that he is secretly a Muslim (playing on fear-mongering and bigotry about Islam), and that he was not really born in America. Both of these ideas paint Obama as “other” and outside the mainstream, drawing their potency from fears about Black people gaining power. People generally associate these memes with the right wing. But the truth is that for the entire Democratic primary, not only did Hillary Clinton’s campaign do nothing to push back against the racist fear-mongering about Obama, it actually fed this atmosphere and helped it grow. It was a part of their strategy from early in the campaign.

 The Week.com

DeRay McKesson, one of the movement's leaders, wrote on Twitter that the post was "solid." But he also noted that she had two days to work on it, and did not attend the liberal forum Netroots Nation, unlike her challengers Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley, who flailed in front of activists from Black Lives Matter.
McKesson is right to be suspicious. Hillary Clinton's record on race is not great. If she wishes to earn some trust on issues of racial justice, a good place to start would be with the distinctly racist undertones of her 2008 campaign against Barack Obama.
As the first primaries got underway in 2008, and Obama began to slowly pull ahead, the Clinton camp resorted to increasingly blatant race- and Muslim-baiting. It started in February, when Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam, endorsed Obama in a sermon. In a debate a couple days later, moderator Tim Russert repeatedly pressed Obama on the issue, who responded with repeated reassurances that he did not ask for the endorsement, did not accept it, and in fact was not a deranged anti-Semite. That wasn't enough for Clinton, who demanded that Obama "denounce" Farrakhan, which he did.
About the same time, a picture of Obama in traditional Somali garb (from an official trip) then appeared on the Drudge Report, and Matt Drudge claimed he got it from the Clinton campaign. After stonewalling on the origin question, the campaign later claimed it had nothing to do with it. A Clinton flack then went on MSNBC and argued that Obama should not be ashamed to appear in "his native clothing, in the clothing of his country."
 Later, a media firestorm blew up when it was discovered that Obama's Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright once delivered a sermon containing the words "God damn America." In response, Obama gave a deft, nuanced speech on racial issues, but Clinton kept the issue alive by insisting she would have long ago denounced the man.

We could go on for days about how Sleazy Politicians are.  How they say and do anything to get elected.  Clinton would like everyone to think she is this support the Black Lives movement, Support Black people, Support Fluorescent Green People if that is what it takes to get her the power.

Politics is dirty and Politicians are dirtier.

Russ Feingold Thinks we Forgot

Russ Feingold must think that we have all forgotten about his time in the Senate.

He was a big part of the problem in the Senate for many many years and that is why the people of Wisconsin booted him out.  Now he is out there campaigning like he is this new Candidate that will show us all how it is done.  We have seen how you get it done.  You fall right in line with the party and don't do what is right for America or Wisconsin.

I hope that the Citizens of Wisconsin don't fall for Russ and his sleaze.  Don't let him get back in there.

Obama Administration Paid Ransom to Iran?

I have to admit that when I think that the Obama Administration can't surprise me anymore with how it operates they always find a way to prove me wrong.

Now news is coming out that just as the Iranian Government had decided to release Americans that they had detained for quite some time, the Obama Administration was paying them $400 Million.  If you listen to the Obama Administration, it is all just coincidence.  Yeah Right.

Clinton Continues Her Lie to the American People

Hillary Clinton was on FOX News Sunday and again tried to twist the truth to make her lie stand up to public scrutiny.

She claimed that the FBI Director even confirmed that she had not lied.  Which is a Politicians way of twisting what he said to make her story correct.

The FBI Director did say that she did not lie to them.  She did not lie to the FBI.  However he was asked several questions that showed that Clinton had lied to the American People and to Congress.  When asked about several of her comments to the American People and to Congress the FBI Director answered that those comments were "not true".  Clinton has claimed repeatedly to the American People and Congress that she never sent or received anything marked classified on her private server.  The FBI Director answered that "there was classified material emailed".  Clinton also claimed that she only used the one device.  The FBI Director answered the "she used multiple devices".  Clinton said that she turned over all work-related emails, however again the FBI Director said "No, we found work-related emails, thousands that were not returned". 

Clinton must really think that the American Public is stupid.  Even though she has been caught red handed and been able to get the FBI and the Justice Department to look the other way, lets hope the American People aren't going to fall for her BS!
