If they'd just stop and think how improbable their allegations sound and how little sense they make....

Amazing the dark, sinister “nothing-to-beneath- them-to try” tactics the libs/Dems (same thing) are resorting to to try and destroy PRESIDENT (eat it, Libs!) Trump’s fledgling presidency and cabinet. And equally amazing is how this sham scandal “fake news”) about Trump and Putin’s Russia colluding to rob Dem idol “Crooked Hillary” Clinton of her immaculation as the follow-on POTUS after Barry Obama.

If anyone with half a brain - which already rules out most liberals - would actually think that allegation through, they’d come to realize that the LAST thing a former KGB Lt Col and communist like Putin would want is a Trump presidency. Putin would far rather want someone of like socialist/communist ideology like Clinton than an entrepreneur like Trump whose motto was “Make America Great Again.” Putin would far more desire four more years of a marshmallow pushover America like his buddy Barry Obama created.

Remember it was Obama who late in his first term was caught in 2012 mentioning to then-Russian

President Dmitri Medvedev that he (Obama) would have more flexibility to negotiate after the US election that November (which Obama was re-elected, don’t ask me how). So, who’s stupid enough to believe that the likes of Vladmir Putin or any other Russian would want to have to face off against would

be someone of PRESIDENT  Donald Trump.

But since today’s media runs like the propaganda ministry of Nazi Germany and truth has far little place in their product, they, like Josef Goebbels of Germany follow the ideology that if the same lie gets told often enough, it will become the truth in the minds of the brainwashed and the emotionally-driven brainless.

Think long and hard oh you "Conservatives" who say your conscience "won't allow you to vote for Trump"

A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with a couple of friends when the dreaded topic of politics came up in conversation.

Considering these two are pretty conservative religiously, I didn’t figure they were going to be voting for Hillary Clinton. And I was right. What did stun me was that they weren’t going to vote for either candidate – Clinton OR Donald Trump.

Their logic was that their conscience would not allow them to cast a vote for someone as brash as Donald Trump.

Fast forward to tonight.

I’ve reflected on this conversation a lot since it happened. And I must say, I find that idea to be simple excuse-making for not bothering to vote to say the least and outright disgusting to say the most.

Why do I say this?Because:

• I fully believe that if such constitutional and religious conservatives stay home and refuse to vote, it guarantees the election to go to Clinton. And,
• It is as predictable as the start of the baseball season that a Clinton presidency would violate every single aspect of what true Americans – true Constitutional and religious Conservatives – hold near and dear to their hearts; expanded abortion rights, expanded gay, transgender and other deviant behavior rights, the end of the “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” as the Second Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees, just to mention a few atrocities.

So, my conscience compels me to say – with all due respect, mind you - to all who feel too highbrow, sophisticated, intellectually or morally superior to cast a vote for Donald Trump simply because he’s “the greater of two lessers” and the like; if you do stay at home and refuse to vote this election, then you are simply taking the easy and lazy way out. Not only that, but I tell you – yes, YOU! – will be as responsible for a Clinton victory and all the atrocities she commits on the American people as those liberals who willingly voted for her.

And after all she’s committed all those atrocities, then you may never again get the opportunity to vote in an American presidential election. That’s right. Voting for president as you’ve ever known it may very well have become a thing of the past much like it does in every other tinhorn dictatorship.

Why? Because her Supreme Court appointees added to the socialist clowns that make up the liberal majority of that bench could quite likely legislate the voter AND the checks and balance system right out of existence. And hence, your ability to “vote your morally superior (in your opinion) conscience will be history.

So, think long and hard before you boycott the voting booth this November.

A brokered GOP Convention – a political party playing Russian Roulette with 5 cylinders loaded.

As the caucus process has went along, Donald Trump has taken more and more states. He seems poised to take the majority of delegates to become the GOP nominee about anytime. And so, recently, there has been increasing talk among the establishment Republicans about a brokered convention. Why? Because “they” don’t want Donald Trump to be the Party’s nominee.

Now, if it so happens that Donald Trump does get the majority of delegates out of the primary process, then – good or bad – isn’t that the will of the majority of Republican voters?

And if that is the case, I could think of no better way for the GOP to disenfranchise its voters than to nullify their votes with a brokered or a challenged convention and try to slip in some GOP establishment twerp like Romney as the “approved” candidate. To do so would send voters a message that their votes really don’t matter after all. Such an action would be saying, if you don’t choose someone we the party bosses agree with, well, we’ll just install someone whom we do.

First of all, to attempt such skullduggery, while perhaps ‘legal’ per election rules, would be as healthy for the GOP as it would for an individual to play Russian Roulette with a bullet in five of the six chambers of the revolver’s cylinder. Secondly, such an action would boldly demonstrate for all the world just how clueless the GOP establishment has become where it concerns its conservative base. Get a clue, GOP; it’s your ineffective leadership these past eight years (at least) that has created the Trump popularity.

It would seem to me that if the GOP desires to simply be a part of the past like their predecessors the Whigs, then a brokered or challenged convention would be the way to go. But, if instead, the GOP is serious about staying a relevant factor in American politics and truly making America great again, then it should give up the idea of fracturing the party even more than it already has been and give up the idea of a challenged or brokered convention.

Spare me the hysteria; I've heard this all before.

While on a recent business trip, a coworker and I caught a glimpse of the television news headlines as we passed through the hotel lobby.

From commentary he’s made in the past, I wonder if this person isn’t a Democrat but he’s never come out and admitted that. Sometimes, he almost denies it. But, again, from some of the comments he’s made….

Anyway, he just went on a rant about Donald Trump. “He’s an idiot.” “He’ll get in office and get us into a war.” And on and on. In previous conversations he’s even blurted out that “I’ll vote for Hilary before I’d vote for Trump” and “I’d rather have four more years of Obama than Donald Trump as president.” (Do you still wonder why I think he’s a closet Democrat?)

Now, I’m not necessarily a Trump supporter either myself. (Personally, I’d far rather have Ted Cruz as president.) But, given the choice between Trump and Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, I’d support Trump in a New York second.

But, these reactions to Trump hearken me back to the 1979-80 timeframe. To put it bluntly, I’ve heard all this before just about a different GOP front runner.

By 1980, Democrat Jimmy Carter had wrought a disastrous four years on the country. We were in a hyperinflationary economy, large scale unemployment and double digit inflation threatened economic meltdown. Carter’s wimpy foreign policy had allowed not only Afghanistan to be invaded and occupied by the Soviets but also the diplomatic staff of the American embassy in Tehran, Iran to be taken hostage for a humiliating 444 days.

A 69-year old former Hollywood actor turned California governor named Ronald Reagan had entered the 1980 race for presidency against Carter. And by the first quarter of 1980 he looked very likely to win the GOP nomination.

And we heard all this same hysteria about Reagan. He had gained fame as a movie actor in the 1940s, so we heard how fake he was, how stupid he was (many made claims about the pet monkey in one of his films being smarter in real life than Reagan was). We heard a lot of talk that he’d immediately get us in a war with Iran to get our hostages back.* Or, if we didn’t go to war with Afghanistan, we’d surely have it out with the Soviets in a conflict that was would have the risk of “going nuclear.”

Not only that, many were convinced that because he was old and would be elected in the beginning year of a decade Reagan would die in office – like Wm Henry Harrison, James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy earlier in our history.

And yet Reagan was one of the greatest presidents in American history and certainly the best in the 20^th century.

•  The Iranian Muslims who captured the American Embassy so hated Carter and so feared Reagan that they held our released hostages in Iranian Airspace until Reagan had been sworn in on inauguration day and was headed to the White House. Once he was officially POTUS and in the Secret Service limo enroute to the White House, they cleared the aircraft carrying the hostages immediately out of Iranian airspace directly.
• Without nuclear conflict he defeated communism on every front bringing about the fall of the Soviet Union and causing democracy to become the rule of every nation formerly behind “the iron curtain.” And,
• He reversed the collapsing economy of the Carter years and restored economic growth and prosperity to the nation and the world so well that resentful liberals today love to attack the Reagan Era as “the decade of greed.”

So, no; I don’t put too much stock in the emotional opinions of amateurs, closet Democrats or our liberal propaganda ministry – excuse me; mainstream media that would just LOVE Democrat Hilary Clinton to win – about Donald Trump. I’ve heard all this hysteria before.

*It should be noted that Carter himself tried a surgical raid to rescue those same hostages. “Operation Eagle Claw” came to an early tragic end in the early morning hours of April 25, 1980 at the Desert One staging point prior to the attack force ever getting to Tehran.  Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw
