A Few Pre-Election Thoughts

As the 2016 election draws to a close(less than a month) I find myself weary of all the crap around the two campaigns…..now it is just seeing who can be the most absurd or the most nasty toward their opponent.

This is the time when I shutdown from watching anything about the campaigns….both are completely ridiculous.

So while I cannot avoid the campaigns I will from time to time issue some thoughts on the race……

Today is a couple of presses about the two……

It is NO secret that I think Clinton, like her hubby before, is the worse person for the presidency because she is a war hawk and will thrust this country into more and more conflicts…..

Never before were the two leading presidential candidates so disliked. Both major parties have nominated candidates that most Americans desperately want to reject.

There many reasons to oppose Hillary Clinton: a history of scandal, reaching back to Bill Clinton’s Arkansas governorship; greedy, grasping friendships with economic elites; and brutal partisan war against political opponents. She is smart, competent, and experienced, but so were Richard Nixon and Richard Cheney. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that she would put her virtues to good use as president. She almost certainly would lead America into more foolish wars. About the only reason to hope for a Clinton victory is her flawed opponent, Donald Trump.

When I am doing research into a subject that I do not have a command of I use two sources to get started…..a book series entitle “A Very Short Introduction…..”, it gives a basic knowledge of the subject and I can proceed from there….I also use the series “……For Dummies”……both are a good way to get a working knowledge of a subject…..

You will see shortly why I brought up that small fact…..

Now for the Trump side of the equation…….before anyone gets upset and starts some diatribe….I would like to say….,this piece is skewed against Trump (at least I am honest to point that out beforehand)……..

The only way to really understand Donald Trump is to think of him as a Frankenstein creation.

That is Trump the Political Phenomenon. Not necessarily Trump the Person.

He is crude, mean, and lewd. So offensive that we can turn to members of his own party to describe his faults. Senator Lindsey Graham called him a “race baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot”.

As you can plainly see….I am a equal opportunity basher!

Voter!  Choose well!

  1. The reason Trump clashes with The Republican Party is because Trump is a true conservative and most Republicans have forgotten what a Conservative really is. Most Republicans are still wishing for the second coming of Ronald Reagan but if Reagan were to appear today he wouldn’t be able to get a foot into the mess that claims to adore him.

    1. I am sorry but I do not see much conservatism in Trumps language….not even Reagan was a true one but then I guess it is politically correct to say it is conservatism

      1. Yeah….I have had enough of the emails and tax returns….move on and talk about real issues that will make a difference…

  2. Thanks, but, no, thanks… I’ve decided to not vote, for the very simple reason there is no one to vote for, and I refuse to choose between two evils.

  3. Spot on with this write-up, I absolutely believe this site needs far
    more attention. I’ll probably be returning to read more, thanks for the advice!
