Well, the Wisconsin primary is in the books.  Ted Cruz has won, and the race is on for New York. And now, the establishment and the talking heads are loud and long: The Donald Is Losing!!!

Donald Trump has made missteps.  His interview with Chris Matthews was definitely one.  He spoke too fast, and Chris, knowing this, slipped in woman when Donald was expecting doctor.  These things are what causes gaffes for The Donald.  Talking down about the young woman who cried foul when she was moved out of the way wasn’t the correct thing.  Instead, Donald should have, as well as Cory, pointed out that reporters are treated even more roughly, and pointed out the reporter who was beheaded.  Now, if that wasn’t a rough treatment, I’ll sit out the rest of this election cycle.

Donald’s problem is, and always has been, the RNC and the party elite.  The talking heads and the talk radio show hosts who knew, within themselves, that if Donald Trump was selected as the party nominee, they wouldn’t be able to control him.  Instead, the elites, the super PACs, the RNC, they all worked with Ted Cruz, behind closed doors, to work on doing Donald in.  In other elections, they all talk about policy and the worldview, as if they are the only ones who have the august vision of what the US should be like.  Once elected, like Ted Cruz, then they proceed to do whatever the lobbyists and party elite want them to do.  Ted Cruz is un-liked in Washington?  Only by those who can’t get in his door.  Ted Cruz has done more to stymy efforts, Republican efforts, in the name of the Tea Party, than the Democrats have done.  And, through his efforts, he has caused the Tea Party to be seen as nothing more than a flea bite on the rear of an elephant, pun intended.  So Ted has served the Republican elites, the lobbyists, and the self-serving, while stymying the efforts of true reform.

And now, Ted is undercutting the Republican rank and file, in the name of serving conservative values.  The only values that Ted serves are his own.  Listen to his speeches.  Unlike Donald, who says “We” are going to make America great again, Ted says “I’m” going to save you.  Ted Cruz sees himself as some kind of messiah, sort of like another senator did, and look what happened there.  Donald wants to work to make us all better.  Ted is only interested in making himself better.  Ted Cruz has joined hands with the Republican elites, the super PACs, and the lobbyists to insure that the status remains quo in Washington.

Ted hasn’t provided anything new, and has not worked on any bills in congress that would create jobs and opportunities for Americans.  Contrast that with Donald Trump, who has created, yes, created, jobs in America and elsewhere.  Donald knows about trying to make a living, not living off the government.

Unfortunately, after watching the Wisconsin primary, I’ve come to the belief that the American Voting Public are really part of the MTV public: They can only concentrate on what’s happening immediately in front of them, and believe that’s all the reality they need to be concerned about.  I thought Wisconsin was a more proud and discerning state.  That the voters would look beyond momentary, forced gaffes, to what the person is.  And that they would have seen that Ted Cruz is only about himself, and what he can get.  I’d call Ted Cruz the Republican Obama, but I really don’t want to associate Republican with Obama.  Suffice it to say, Ted is only concerned with winning for winning’s sake.  If Ted wasn’t what didn’t he denounce his people when they lied about Ben Carson, and go on CNN and Fox to announce the truth.  If Ted wasn’t concerned with himself and winning, why didn’t he stop the super PAC that started the ad about Trump’s wife?  Because he had been briefed before about the commercial, knew that Donald would raise hell, and planned to “reap the benefits” by playing the hurt husband.

Ted Cruz is a liar.  He’s lied to the Tea Party.  He’s lied for the Republican Party elites.  He’s lied to his constituents, and to the people who voted for him.  For those who think differently, do me a favor.  Check all those items he’s done, and see where he could have stepped in.  In each case, Ted could have stepped in, stopped the issues, and been a bigger man for it.  Ted took the cheap way out, thinking that he could just stand back and reap the benefits.  For all of you voters who have been sandbagged by Ted, I hope you feel the righteous anger to demand that any delegates who are not assigned, be assigned to the correct winner, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump’s only goal, only vision, is to make America great, and that is what is making the RNC and the lobbyists and the super PACs scared.  Donald cannot be bought, he is self-funding.  Donald cannot be guided by the elites, he knows them personally and doesn’t think much of them.  Donald cuts down any super PACs that try to say they are for him.  The only ones that mean anything to The Donald are the people of America.  If you see Donald at any of his rallies, meetings, etc., unlike his rivals, Donald meets with the people, listens to their issues, talks to the children, talks to the down and out, and the up and coming.  Race, sex, creed, does not matter, just the fact that you’re an American, proud of your country.  Even if you don’t vote for The Donald, The Donald makes time for you.  Contrast that with Ted Cruz.  Once the rally, the meeting, what ever, is over, Ted is gone.  He shows up just before, then leaves immediately after.  Donald is for the people.  Ted is for himself.

If you believe that the country would be safer, we’d be more respected, and the country would be great again, you need to vote for and believe in Donald Trump, because Donald believes in America.  If you just want to vote for someone with a smiling face, a great sound bite, and promise you anything just to get your vote, vote Ted Cruz or Kim Kardashian.  Either one would fit the bill.

Trump and the Presidency

Today, one of my Facebook friends decided to ask who in the Republican party he should vote for, as he wasn’t sure how to vote based on the last few days of chaos.  I decided to answer him, and realized that the answer for him, is something I should pass on to all.

From my post: “Everyone wants to talk about how childish trump is, problem is, all the rest waited until it looked like trump was the leader before getting down and nasty…America knew what trump was like before, in glorious Technicolor…Trump is a businessman, and Trump knows how to move things and select people…I remember the sixties, how people were nasty and harsh, the vitriolic hatred spewed about candidates such as Nixon, and Reagan…in the seventies, the tirade of trash talking done about Reagan would make the viperous seeming speech about Trump no more than kindergarten kids talking…Reagan was an actor, a third-rate one at that…Nixon was Hitler, he’s disgusting, look how he sweats (reference to the 1960’s TV debate, talk about reaching back)…then the eighties and the trash talking about Reagan again…then the Bush years, both Bushes…if you’re gonna base your reason for voting for someone on trash talking, you may want to read up on the real trash talkers: Douglas and Lincoln, Adams, Roosevelt, Jackson; Jackson was a drunk, and most of his rallies wound up with a lot of drunkenness and debauchery…Base your vote on what someone has done: Cruz, Kasich, and Rubio have spent the last two years campaigning for election to a political position, meeting up with SuperPACs and donors to fund their election runs; Trump has also spent the last two years electioneering, but he has also been running a vast empire…of course he uses a personal plane, so he can stay in touch with everything going on around the world in his business; Trump shows me the number one thing that someone who is president needs: The ability to focus on his work AND on getting in touch with, meeting with, and working with his people, the American People, and he takes time out to speak with individuals: This Is Why Trump Is America’s Best Hope, Not America’s Best Hype: He Can Keep His Business Going And Still Work With America, Meet With America…Think about that, and think about the rest of the field…just my humble opinion…”

So, think about this: Trump has managed to build up a business empire, even though he’s taken hits, a couple of bankruptcies, a couple of divorces, but he keeps an eye on the prize, regardless of his own personal issues.  He continues to keep his business going, because he put together a team that he only needs to oversee.  If he can do that with his business, what makes you think he can’t pick a Cabinet that will insure America becomes great.  Donald Trump may not be a conservative, but he is a Republican.  The other politicians, and I repeat, politicians, want to be known as a conservative, but how did that become to mean that is a Republican?  A Republican is one who believes in the Republic, and what the Founding Fathers believed, one who believes in small Federal Government, but also in insuring the States maintain the proper scale of government to support their citizens rights, freedoms, and responsibilities.  A Republican is someone who also believes in each individual’s right to self-determination, and in capitalism, not socialism, but also in believing giving a person a hand up, not a hand out.

Trump is a true Republican, just as much as those who have come to his rallies and speeches.  Kasich, Rubio, and Cruz are not Republicans.  They are politicians, looking to maintain the political class, something that Donald and his supporters don’t like.  So, I am voting for a true Republican, who understands the balance between conservatism and liberalism, and how to maintain it.  Republicans are not monolithic conservatives, as much as Democrats are not monolithic liberals.  The other candidates are doing a disservice to the Silent Majority, those who have been awaiting an opportunity to express themselves, and their dissatisfaction with the political elites and their mouthpieces.  Now, they have their own mouthpiece, and it is one they see as one of their own: Donald Trump.

All of the liberals and all of the media mouthpieces can spout off about how Donald is loud, abrasive, and corrosive.  The problem is, they are demeaning and disregarding those who are listening to, and agreeing with, The Donald.  As much as the media cameras work to keep the focus on the white people at the rallies, there are as many blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc., as his rallies as there are whites.  And they all agree: Trump Speaks For Them and America.

So, you have a choice when it’s time to vote: Do you vote for someone who says they can produce? Or do you vote for someone who has produced, and plans on producing more? Me, I voted for Trump: He’s already proved he can do what he says he will do….

Civil Rights Act: Who Protects It More?

Civil Rights Act, CRA, democrats, I Have A Dream, Johnson, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Republican

I find it pretty amazing when I watched the democrats try to take responsibility for the passing of the Civil Rights Act.  Dr. Martin Luther King led many a demonstration in the hopes of having the government enforce the Bill of Rights for all people of the United States.  When the doctor gave his speech in Washington, DC, on that hot August day, fifty years ago, he wasn’t talking about states with republican governors.  He wasn’t referring to districts that were republican. 

In 1963, President Kennedy announced his plans to enact a sweeping supporting legislation for civil rights.  After his assassination, President Johnson decided to do something that his party did not want done.  But to achieve this landmark decision, to get this law done, LBJ approached those who had been championing equal rights, and the rights for every individual to achieve their dreams: the Republican Party.  Although a bunch of southern senators, democrats, filibustered the measure, the republicans managed to get enough votes, working with LBJ, to get this historic measure passed.

Even though the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, those southern senators, and southern governors, all democrats, still fought against equality for all.  Governor Wallace of Alabama, a prominent democrat, fought hard to stop the Civil Rights Act, and fought hard against desegregation.  Other prominent democrats, in the north and south, fought against the removal of an institution that had been in place since reconstruction, and was predicated on keeping the black American in “his place”.  Yet, the Republicans fought hard to insure that all men, especially former slaves, black Americans, received equal treatment, and had equal rights under the law.  From Abraham Lincoln to George Bush, Republicans have always worked hard to insure that everyone was treated equally and fair.

The Republican party has always been a staunch defender of the American people, their rights, and their liberties.  We must continue to defend these rights, insuring that our children, and our children’s children, are born free, able to pursue their dreams, with the love of family, and without fear of persecution or trial.
