Things I trust more than the media….

Posted on October 15, 2016 by Armando Diana

If anyone still trusts the media I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.  The mainstream media has a complete and utter liberal bias which should no longer be questioned.  It has no credibility to anyone who has half a brain.

In fact, I trust the following more than the media:

  • A drink from Bill Cosby
  • A text from Anthony Weiner
  • Donald Trump’s tax returns
  • Bill Clinton alone with a woman in an elevator
  • OJ Simpson showing me his knife collection
  • Hillary Clinton talking about e-mail…well, actually Hillary Clinton talking about anything
  • A ride home from Ted Kennedy
  • George H Bush pledging not to raise taxes
  • George W Bush looking for weapons of mass destruction
  • Jeb Bush in general
  • Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson praying for racial peace
  • Governor Chris Christie directing traffic
  • My grandfather asking me to pull his finger
  • Reality TV
  • Kanye West not interrupting an acceptance speech
  • Governor John Kasich keeping his word
  • Senator Bernie Sanders defending capitalism
  • Baseball umpires making the right call
  • An e-mail from a Nigerian asking for help
  • A Brian Williams news report
  • Dating Taylor Swift and not appearing in a song if we break up
  • Al Gore restricting his carbon footprint while whining about Global Warming
  • A Kardashian being earnest about a topic rather than seeking publicity
  • Miley Cyrus being taken seriously
  • An Atheist believing in anything
  • The fifth dentist caving in and recommending Dentyne
  • Parents staying calm during a youth sports event
  • Good customer service from Verizon or Comcast
  • Obamacare succeeding

Whoever makes tomorrow better than today wins a vote

Posted on October 11, 2016 by Armando Diana

One of the most fascinating aspects of this train wreck presidential election is how a billionaire can position himself as the champion for the common, middle class person.  His appeal has stumped both political parties and the media.

I do not profess to have the answers to this vexing question but I have a few ideas.

First up is our bitter resentment towards elitists.  Here the media and the political ruling class take center stage.  Hillary Clinton, the epitome of elitist, professes Donald Trump is not fit for office.  Of course, her media lap dogs echo that sentiment.  What they do not understand is that view, by default, implies the rest of us are too stupid to know better. How many people do you know enjoy being insulted on a daily basis?

Ironically, the class warfare practiced by politicians is the underpinnings of the resentment most of us feel towards elitists.  They did it to themselves yet are too tone deaf to realize it.  Even if their assessment is right, they have angered the populous so much that some will vote for Trump to spite them.

Dr. Ben Carson summed it up best “It is obvious that the media has decided who the winner of this election should be; but by so grossly overplaying its hand, the media has lost all credibility as a source for objective facts and surrendered its role as a neutral arbiter of political discourse.”

The irrefutable evidence coming from WikiLeaks proves Clinton and the Democratic National Committee conspired to steal the nomination from Senator Bernie Sanders.  Do these political elites believe the diehard Bernie followers will say “Oh gee, that sucks; let’s vote Hillary!”

They have made Trump’s conspiratorial rantings of election stealing sound plausible.  How scary is that? Even scarier: I fear he is right.

Trump has also exposed the cronyism of both political parties.  The Republicans paraded 16 candidates – most of whom are “polished” politicians – during the primaries.  He ran circles around them and won the nomination.  The bitterness has grown to a crescendo with both parties coming out against him.  The scare tactic they use is a Trump presidency is bad for the country.  No. It’s bad for them because they fear he will end the cronyism and their golden parachutes.

Here is a man who donated money to both political parties throughout the years.  He switched party affiliations when it served his purpose.  He’s a crony.  But these fools are so caught up in their egos they are failing to see the opportunity of business as usual.  They just want to do it on their terms.

The bottom line – an educated electorate is a politician’s worst nightmare.  Both parties believe we are the uninformed masses.  That may be true in some pockets of society but despite what politicians say and the media misreports, the one thing we all know is whether we are doing better today than yesterday.

If the answer is no; guess who will not get a job come November.  In one sense, I do not care who deleted what and who said what.  Those issues speak to a person’s character and integrity.  Anyone in politics has no character or integrity so it boils down who will make my tomorrow better today.

The media does not present issues, just an agenda driven ideological con job

Posted on October 9, 2016 by Armando Diana

Double standards are a way of life for the media and Liberals.  It seems Liberals can do and say anything about any race, religion or person and it is accepted if not applauded by, well, other media and Liberals.

Mitt Romney is caught on tape making a comment about the 47% and is vilified. Hillary Clinton treats Donald Trump supporters with scorn and puts them in a “basket of deplorables” and is greeted with reams of print supporting her viewpoint.  By the way, according to some polls the Trump supporters comprise, you guessed it, 47 percent of the electorate.

Trump is excoriated by the press for calling Rosie O’Donnell, among other things a “pig”.  Yet Robert DeNiro appears in a video where he calls Trump, among other things, “a punk, a dog, a con, a BS artist, a pig, a mutt.”  Trump makes unflattering remarks about Carly Fiorina’s appearance and he has a problem with women but a litany of politicians can comment on his hair, small hands, and other physical features and not a word from the media.

DeNiro refers to Trump as being “blatantly stupid” and I recall the media loved to depict President George W. Bush as less than intelligent.  Remember how the media portrayed Dan Quayle?  What about portraying President Gerald Ford as a bumbling idiot?  News flash: by all accounts from presidential scholars – President Ford was the most athletic president but you would not know that based on the media’s characterization.

Has the media ever portrayed a Democratic president with anything but adoration? Has the media ever portrayed any Democrat with the same skewed lens it has for Republicans?

I have been clear from the start.  I do not like Trump or his attitude but I like fairness.  I realize I’m naïve in this view but I like my media to be objective so I can make my own decisions about him as a person, potential president, and leader.

I do not buy the argument the media has a duty to “uncover” character flaws because throughout the 90’s we were told a president’s private life has nothing to do with his public life.  My how the view has changed when someone the media disdains acts the exact the same way as President Bill Clinton did when in office.

I guess womanizing is quaint when the politician’s name ends in Kennedy but disgusting when it’s Trump.  I laugh when I see the politicians come out of the woodwork to condemn Trump’s words and actions.  Perhaps they need a lesson in throwing stones when without sin.  That and throwing stones in glass houses is not a good idea.

Show me a politician who is without sin.  Show me a politician that is not beholden to a special interest group or who works with our best interests at heart.  Show me a politician who has not crossed a line.

At the previous debate, Clinton said she made a mistake using a private e-mail server and everyone in the media simply accepted it and moved on to the next topic.  How much you want to bet if Trump says his choice of words about females was a mistake the media will not drop it?  The media will continually ask follow up questions and hound him but allows Clinton to get away with yet another scandal.

The “issues” the media brings to our attention are not issues but an agenda driven ideological con job. It has no interest to inform.  It has an insatiable lust to propagandize.  It’s just noise.

This election is a hold-your-nose-and-pick event.  Forget the stupidity about Clinton’s health issues.  Forget her e-mail scandals or the fact she is the most corrupt candidate to ever run.  If you like her policies – vote for her.  We should have the same litmus test for Trump.  It’s only fair.

There is no debate – I need a shower

Posted on September 28, 2016 by Armando Diana

The only thing I am sure of after watching the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is that I need a shower.

Both candidates inspire more hatred than love and I think it’s fair to say the winner is hated less than the loser.  This is not the optimal way to choose a president.  But as voters we must vote the ballot we’re dealt.

The debate did nothing to change my existing opinion of both candidates.   Are the candidates a sign of the times or are the times a sign of the candidates?  Think about that as you work through your checklist item for choosing your existence the next four years.

The media deemed Clinton the winner but they would have done that if she slept the entire time.  It’s a given that you cannot trust the media.  The online polls all indicated Trump won but they are hardly scientific and anyone can vote in those things numerous times.

If you are a Trump supporter you think he won and if you are a Clinton supporter you think she won.  So, in short, we are no further along than before the debate. I think the biggest loser is the media as Lester Holt did nothing to dispel the notion the media is biased.

But what did I learn from watching the debacle – I mean debate.

Well for one thing Clinton was her typical cold, robotic self.  I wanted to start singing Mrs. Roboto.  Trump was shooting from his mouth most of the night but at least he showed passion.

Clinton continued parsing her words like when she said she “supports our democracy” but did not say she will support Trump if he won.  Always the gentleman (cough), Trump did not hesitate to say he will support her if she won.  Do you want a leader who spends more time dissecting her words to ensure a careful response or a guy who has a belief and acts on it regardless of how it appears?

That is not a trick question.  It’s a choice.  Some of us will prefer the former while others will choose the latter.

I thought Trump proved he is not the ogre the Clinton ad campaign portrays and she showed she can stand for two hours without fainting.  I thought she had a better grasp of the political answers to the issues and his lack of depth of the issues was evident.

But what bugs me the most is her low opinion of the electorate.  Forget the “basket of deplrables” comment.  She actually said “I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police.”  So she believes we are all racists. I wonder if she believes that about Liberals.  Can you imagine if Trump said we are all bigots?

However, I will not vote for her mainly because she believes the people need the government to survive versus the other way around.  I also believe Trump will better than anyone believes but that may not be saying much.  The bar is so low with these two it’s scary.

The Media’s attempt to derail Trump is actually helping him

Posted on September 16, 2016 by Armando Diana

The winning formula for any work of fiction is always the drama between Good versus Evil.  We root for the protagonist because the antagonist always cheats and we innately hate unfairness and injustice.

The mainstream media is quickly becoming the bad guy in the presidential election drama.  It tries everything it can to cast Donald Trump as the villain but is only succeeding in proving what most observers already know: the mainstream media is so biased it can no longer be trusted.

I am beginning to think Trump is gaining popularity because the media coverage is so unfair towards him that it’s driving us to root for him.

You have to look no further than the coverage of Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment.  I seem to recall Mitt Romney being skewered for insulting President Obama’s voter bloc with his “47 percent” comment. The media portrayed him as an elitist.  Clinton’s disdainful view of Trump supporters is akin to Marie Antoinette’s hatred for her subjects but the media does not see it that way.

In a The New York Times opinion piece, Charles Blow wrote “What Clinton said was impolitic, but it was not incorrect…”  He goes on to write “Donald Trump is a deplorable candidate — to put it charitably — and anyone who helps him advance his racial, religious and ethnic bigotry is part of that bigotry. Period. Anyone who elevates a sexist is part of that sexism. The same goes for xenophobia. You can’t conveniently separate yourself from the detestable part of him because you sense in him the promise of cultural or economic advantage.”

Would his premise also apply to Clinton?

And then we have Dana Milbank in The Washington Post: who wrote “Hillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of Donald Trump’s supporters are racists and other ‘deplorables.’ But she wasn’t wrong.”

It seems those in the media have a low opinion of certain voters.  And that angers me. As a voter on the fence about what to do with my vote come November, this type of unfairness pushes my vote closer to Trump. In fact, it makes me sympathetic towards Trump and that make me pay closer attention to his policies and ideology,

He is not an ideologue.  He’s an opportunist but that is a trait of most people in business.  I like the fact he is not an ideologue.  In fact, I’m beginning to think he would not be as bad as the media says if he wins the election.

Do you want more media bias? I’m glad you asked.  Megyn Kelly interviewed Ivanka Trump recently and asked her how her father’s comments about women made her feel. I do not have an issue with the question because it is fair game.  I have an issue with Kelly not asking Chelsea Clinton how her father’s actions against women makes her feel. In all the interviews I have ever seen with Chelsea, she gets softball questions.

Prachi Gupta, senior writer at Cosmopolitan, hammered away at Ivanka in an interview about Trump’s child care proposal.  Rather than focus on the actual policy, Gupta continually questioned Ivanka on why the policy didn’t provide the same benefits for two gay men who have a child. Yet, earlier this year when interviewing Chelsea, Gupta’s “hard hitting” questions feature “Has there been any family time on the campaign?”

Despite all its efforts to convince us to not vote for Trump, the biggest irony is the media’s unfair coverage is convincing many of us fence sitters to vote for Trump. And, if that is the case, then it gives me that sense of retribution we all get when Good finally wins over Evil.

A choice I do not want to make

Posted on August 4, 2016 by Armando Diana

Politically, I am an independent.  I like to think that means I am independent of group think brought on by the mainstream media.  The truth is I can’t stand either presidential candidate.  Hillary Clinton is an abomination of a candidate and, I can make the case, as a person.  Donald Trump is not much better.

Neither candidate offers solutions. Just insults.  We deserve better but this is what we have and we must play the hand we’re dealt.  Can you legitimately give me anything Clinton has accomplished that moved America forward?  I do not care about her transgressions in the past because what politician is clean?  Trump has no track record other than taking advantage of a system that allows one to prosper off the back of others.  Neither fills me with confidence.

This is not much of a choice. For me, a president has but one job.  Keep the citizens safe.  A president cannot affect the economy.  It’s cyclical.  Always was and always will be.  A president can set the tone that allows an economy to grow or shrink.  Which candidate is best equipped to drive the former and not the latter?

A president cannot get anything done without the help of the congress.  Neither candidate can mend the chasms they created that exists between and within the parties.  Most politicians will support the person that can do them the most good.  It’s obscene but true and something they don’t teach in the bubble gum Civics classes of today.  Which candidate can do the most good for their accomplices in crime?  Once you have that answer – vote for the other candidate if you want anything to change!

A president cannot keep communities safe – that is up to those in the community.  A president, however, does betray their biases based on who they support when communities go wild. That is a signal to the citizenry and creates an environment that either supports lawlessness or lawfulness.  Which candidate will best set the tone for your community?

Try as they might, politicians cannot teach morals and ethics to your children.  That’s your job as a parent.  That, and most politicians don’t have morals or ethics which is why they are politicians to begin with.  Of the two candidates, which one will serve as a better role model should you abdicate your duty as a parent?

So back to my original belief that a president’s main job is to keep Americans safe.  Which candidate can best do that for you and your family?  This is a no win scenario. Let’s say you are faced with a choice of leaving your loved ones with either Clinton or Trump.  They have to navigate them through a maze wrought with danger.  The only defense each has is their policies for handling danger.

Who do you choose?  Good luck.  It’s a choice I don’t want to make. Oh, wait.  It’s a choice I have to make come November.

Focus on the evil; Not the object used for evil

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Armando Diana

“He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that,” Sitora Yusifiy said of her ex-husband Omar Mateen.

As we all know, Mateen was the nut job who murdered 50 people in night club in Orlando. He targeted the LGBT community and swore his allegiance to ISIS during the attack.  Yet, all we are hearing about is the need for gun control.  I guess the gun control issue is more important to Liberals and the media then the LGBT community.

Where is the outrage for that jackass targeting homosexuals?  Where is the homophobe name calling?  Nope.  The Liberals see an opportunity to make another run at gun control and it’s inconvenient to stand up for the LGBT community right now.  I guess they have wait their turn when Liberals need to use them to brow beat others.

And, of course, Facebook exploded with the predictable dual of left wing and right wing drones posting diatribes for and against gun control.  As if that one issue would have prevented this evil man from executing his plan.

I do not own a gun.  I do not want a gun.  But I do not believe in taking away anyone’s right to own a gun for sporting, hunting or home defense.  However, I do not understand why an average hunter or gun enthusiast needs an assault rifle. That seems like overkill to me if you pardon the pun. Guns are one thing; weapons better suited for attacking our enemies are another.

By the same token, the fools in Washington, DC that want to make nonsensical argument for or against gun control are only creating more noise pollution.  Last time I checked an inanimate object is not able to be deployed without human intervention.  It’s not the gun, it’s the person using the gun that must be stopped.

The gun laws are fine but are immaterial when it comes to criminals.  By the very nature of being a criminal indicates a propensity to not obey our laws.  On the off chance, a deranged individual like Mateen would be prevented from buying a gun, he would probably have carried out his mission by using explosives.  Would the political hacks we call leaders then take to the senate floor to filibuster for stronger explosives control?

The fact is anything can be used as a weapon and a person bent on destroying other people will find a way.  Rather than focus on the weapon I think a more prudent approach is to focus on the person who uses the weapon for evil.

Back to Yusifiy’s comment: If someone would have made a joke like “the beating was justified because the laundry wasn’t done” he would immediately be vilified as a woman-hater, male chauvinist pig, misogynist, and all the words the political correct police prevent us from using by using them to define us.

Donald Trump is maligned for suggesting a temporary ban on Muslims until we figure out a better way to ensure the nation’s safety.  Gun owners are lumped into the same category of a crazed gunman but we are told to not generalize an entire religion based on one nut job.

It seems Liberals have more disdain for those with opposing viewpoints then they do for those who want to kill us.  We are told to understand our enemies rather than hate them.  I may be weird but I find it hard to be cordial to people who want to see me dead.  If given a choice, I’d suggest get them before they get us.

This was an evil man who committed an evil crime.  He chose a gun to carry out his plan but it could have easily been poison, a bomb, fire, or any inanimate object that can be used for destruction.

Terrorism is meant to scare us into submission and create the exact chaos the idiots in Washington are providing by advancing their agendas versus doing their jobs.  Their job is to keep the nation – and the people in the nation – safe.

Let’s focus on the real danger: evil people intent on destroying us.  Leave the agendas and political correctness where it belongs – nowhere.

Be careful who you vote for…you may get that person in office

Posted on June 7, 2016 by Armando Diana

 

When I leave the house I tell my children “I am off to make the world safe from Liberals.” So far I am failing in my quest.

Classical Liberalism stresses liberty but social Liberalism focuses on equality.  We are spiraling downward a social liberal drain and need to plug the drain.  I do not believe you help another person by doing something for them.  If you teach them how to do it and remove the shackles of a stacked system, a typical person will thrive.

Today’s youth, however, are being indoctrinated into Social Liberal thinking and it’s getting out of control.  It’s taught in our schools, propagandized by the mainstream media, and enabled by pandering politicians bottom feeding for votes.

The Liberal ideology is well-intentioned but misguided. Or, rather it’s bastardized by the likes of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  She positions herself as someone who fights for the people but in reality is only fighting for herself.

She, like many Liberals of her ilk, want to control not help you.  Keep in mind, Mrs. Clinton wrote her college thesis paper on the teachings of Saul Alinsky, a community organizer and writer.  He wrote the book, Rules for Radicals, which has influenced many of today’s social liberals. Mrs. Clinton is an Alinsky disciple.

He professed eight areas of control needed before a political body can create a social state.  The first, and most important, is healthcare.  He said if you control healthcare you control the people.

The second area is poverty.  He believed if you increase the poverty level as high as possible you are able to control the state.  Why? Because poor people are easier to control and will not resist a government that provides everything for them.

Closely related is increasing the debt to unsustainable levels.  The more people owe the less likely they are to fight a tax increase aimed at helping them.  Ironically, the higher the taxes the more indebted they become.

And then there is the Liberals favorite whipping issue of gun control.  Alinsky professed gun control.  A people that cannot defend itself from the government is destined to live in a police state.  Welfare is the fifth area that allows the government to take full control of our lives.  It’s hard to stand up against an oppressive government when you rely on that very government for sustenance.

What amazes me is so many people do not see the diabolical circle welfare creates.  It’s the new slavery.

Education is next.  Indoctrination is the goal and driven by revisionist history.  Christopher Columbus has poll numbers almost as low as congress and has become a mass murderer versus a founder.  Our Education system is populated by left-wing nuts more concerned with advancing agendas then teaching.

Then there is religion. Remove religion and the belief in God and now you have a weakened and wayward populous easier to manipulate. The final piece is class warfare.  The objective is to divide and conquer the people into wealthy and poor.  The discontent bred by such actions allows the government to continually increase taxes.

Does this sound familiar?  Is it a coincidence that we have lived it the past eight years?  President Obama is an Alinsky disciple and his revolution is euphemistically called change.

I am not suggesting there is some vast Left-Wing Conspiracy to control society but this has been the Liberal Play Book for decades. I’m also not paranoid but just because I’m not paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get me!

People who vote with the hope of getting something for nothing typically end up getting nothing for something.

It’s time we get rid of incumbent politicians

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Armando Diana

Has it occurred to the GOP Establishment the more they act like petulant children the more they prove the voters right in choosing Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee?

I think every time a Governor Jeb “I-m-going-to-hold-my breath” Bush or Senator Lindsey “I’m-taking-my-ball-and-going-home” Graham come out against Trump, he gains millions of votes.  The GOP Establishment is why Trump is where he is in the first place so it stands to reason most of his supporters are happy not to have them around.

By the way, didn’t Governor Bush and Senator Graham sign a pledge to support the eventual nominee?  Why hasn’t the media mentioned that?  Imagine the feeding frenzy if Trump decided against supporting the nominee if it weren’t him.

The Washington elites stacked the deck against the voters. The Democrats were better at rigging their game so Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will win the nomination despite most of the enthusiasm being for Senator Bernie Sanders.

Trump and Senator Sanders are indictments against the political ruling class but the Washington Establishment is so tone deaf they only hear the music echoing inside their collective heads?

What will happen if a good majority of the Conservatives and long-time establishment types stay home in November and Trump wins?  Then what will they say other than claiming the voters are too stupid to know any better?

Remember, this is the same ruling class that pass laws telling us what light bulbs to use, what types of cars to drive, what bathrooms to use, and on and on and on.  This is a ruling class that covets voter dependence on the government.  How dare we actually think for ourselves!

I laugh at the Republicans coming out against Trump on principle.  There are very few of them that actually have principles let alone actual care for the country.  There are some Conservatives that have legitimate concerns about Trump based on their philosophy of government and that is fair but is the country better off with Trump or Secretary Clinton as president?

If politicians cared about the country the answer is obvious to me based on my philosophy but you make your own choice based on your ideology.  Most politicians do not care about the country – they care about their empires and fear they will lose then with Trump as president.

Good. I hope they lose everything and join the unemployed they helped create.

Most Republicans are afraid Trump’s supporters will come out in droves to vote for him on top of the ticket and not for them down the ballot.  The fake Conservative Senator John McCain told donors in April “Have no doubt, if Donald Trump is at the top of the ticket, here in Arizona, with over 30 percent of the vote being the Hispanic vote, no doubt that this may be the race of my life.”

This is typical of most of the political class.  There is no talk about what is best for the country, only what is best for themselves.  I guess it’s every rat for himself as they abandon the country’s ship.

The New Jersey radio station (101.5 FM) had a morning host Jim Gearhart who coined the phrase “Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians” (GRIP). Every election cycle he’d implore listeners to vote out the incumbents. It seldom, if ever happened.  I hope this is the year we throw the bums out.

We could have done much better than the choice between bad and worse

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Armando Diana

It now seems a forgone conclusion that Donald Trump will face off against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in November for the presidency.  This is the ultimate decision between bad and worse.  I’ll let you choose which is which because there really is no difference.

Both candidates have sky high unfavorable ratings and both face a fractured party.  Secretary Clinton is so disliked by her own party that a 74 year-old Socialist gets more ardent support.  In any realm of reality, Senator Bernie Sanders should only be in the Oval Office as part of a tour yet alone giving her a dog fight for the nomination.

Trump has members of the Republican Party openly participating in a “Stop Donald” campaign and hoping for a contested convention.  That seems improbable now.

This may be the first election in history where the eventual winner gets the majority of the support from the other party.  Conservatives who despise Trump will stay home which, in effect, is a vote for Secretary Clinton.  Supporters of Senator Sanders who despise her will vote for Trump.  Such is political life in 2016.

Regardless of who wins, a Republican will not reside in the Oval Office.  In fact, the Republican Party is in far worse shape than the Democratic Party and one can make the case it is pretty much dead. I cannot say I’m upset by this turn of events. The Republican Syndicate is a joke and so far removed from the real world it makes Reality TV look, well, real.

To this day, most of the Establishment believe Trump’s success is because of the media, stupid voters, his populist’s agenda, or a referendum on Conservatism.  They have no one to blame but themselves.  They cannot – or will not – see the voters have come out in record numbers for Trump because we are fed up with the Establishment.

On the other side, young people have come out in drovers for Senator Sanders because they have been indoctrinated to believe Government needs to take care of them.  And that is the most dangerous and scary thing.  The more government intervenes in our lives the more people come to believe that is normal.

It’s not. Government needs to stay out of our lives.

This election is now about everything but that simple concept.  Senator Ted Cruz warns against “creeping Socialism that incentivizes apathy and dependency.”  He’s right and without a candidate who recognizes the urgency of maintaining the power of the Constitution, America will slip.

I do not believe that either Trump or Secretary Clinton care about upholding the Constitution.  Their first priority is to win the White House at all costs and then it’s anyone’s guess what happens next.

Clinton’s answer to everything is more taxes. I do not know about you but I’m pretty much taxed out. Trump’s response to everything is one answer, then a different answer, and later a different answer.

Ok, by a show of hands how many believe Trump will actually build that wall? I love the idea but there is this thing called Congress and the other thing called the Senate that must approve it. Do you really think anyone on either side of the aisle will want to work with Trump?  I’m sure Senator Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio will carry his water.

Who knows?  Maybe a Trump presidency will do the impossible and get the two parties to work together….against him!

There is no way I can ever bring myself to vote for Secretary Clinton. I cannot stomach her policies or philosophy.  It is hard for me to vote for Trump who has no concept of the issues other than spewing whatever comes to his mind at the time.

From my perspective, Trump may have the capacity to learn or surround himself with people who understand the issues but then he’ll need to rely on the Establishment and we are back where we started.

On the bright side, if Trump wins various Moronic B-list Hollywood stars have threatened to leave the country.  That’s a plus and reason alone to vote for him because it’s addition through subtraction.

Once again we have no choice but to hold our nose and push a button and then complain for the next four years.
