I am having a difficult time dragging
myself to the computer to write anything political. Personally I am
dealing with a few tragedy's and politically people have completely
lost their way, I am tired of the nonsense.
However here is a late assessment of
the first Republican debate which I had a hard time watching. I
turned it on about a hour into it, just no passion or incentive to
watch it. Years past I almost felt it was an obligation to watch but
as you educate yourself realization settles in on how debates are
staged events. Hard hitting lines have strategic spots to say them,
what the candidates say are well rehearsed, its all staged.
In my real word this is how a debate
should be to keep it somewhat organized but free flowing with
candidates having to stand on their own. . A moderator throws out a
topic. The first candidate to buzz in speaks on that topic for up to
3 minutes. If he strays the moderator cuts of his mic. Then each
candidate after the three minutes are up can buzz in to have their
say for one minute, if they don't buzz in its their fault. If any
candidate rambles on about another topic in his rebuttal the
moderator could cut of his mic also.
Nonetheless I did watch the last half
or a bit more, did it change my mind who I would vote for? Yes for
about a day and then I went back to reality – none of the above.
I sum it up this way... Trump hit a
home run, he did a magnificent job, what a performance and the
Establishment quietly made strides in getting their man in.
On a quick note:
Cruz gets a zero as he is not
qualified. I don't care what anyone says as this is fact, he was born
in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father. Is he Canadian,
American or Cuban? If we are trying to restore this nation shouldn't
we adhere as closely as possible to the original intent of the
Constitution? We challenged Obama's legitimacy as president but now
we are willing to vote for Cruz because he is a Republican? If we
allow two consecutive presidents who are not natural born citizens
what will stop someone who is an illegal from being president or how
about someone who moves to the US when he/she is older from another
country. This is a slippery slope. It needs to be stopped NOW.
On other notes:
The son of New World Order – Thousand
Points of Blight Jeb Bush looked bored.
As I told you, Ben Carson may be a good
man but the Carson Show won't make the late show. He will fizzle. He
did nothing in the debate that stood out. Not forceful enough.
Huckabee should stick to his TV show.
America likes the jokes and the jabs by this man but that's all.
The two candidates who I think will
either be the nominee or make a good strong run are.... Rand Paul and
John Kasich. They didn't disappoint. Rand scored points with the
Establishment when he pounced on Trump for considering a run as an
Independent. If Rand was so into stopping the erosion of our
Constitution and freedom why would he not run independent or support
someone that would run independent if it meant going against an
Establishment New World Order Republican candidate? Kasich did well
enough for his base which will be broadening.
I wrote this on Friday, November 23,
2012, 2:23 Here's my prediction for 2016, no for sure winner but
some heavy favorites. They will try to woo Chris Christy he may have
a shot at the nomination but won't make it. The man to keep an
eye on is Kasich of Ohio and unless time gets the best of her Hillary
is now making her move. She will be a tough force to take out.
The GOP could be left wandering for years as they had their chance
and squandered it
The tables are being set for Kasich.
Ohio is an important swing state. The first debate was held in
Cleveland, the Convention is in Cleveland. Kasich may lose some
Christian Tea Party support but in the end they will vote for him as
they always do who ever the nominee for the Republican Party is. And
forget about polls, McCain was at the bottom of the heap before he
wrestled the top spot away.
Now about Trump. I heard countless
times people telling me they couldn't wait to hear what Trump has to
say at the debate. It actually saddened me. Instead of voters looking
at substance and real issues they are looking for the candidate with
the most slam dunk lines. Is this what we have resorted to
entertainment debates? So Trump did his job. He hit a home run just
by being there. A record number of viewers tuned in. There was
excitement and energy something that would have been lacking in the
GOP debate if not for Trump. All of the candidates best thank him.
They have a common target to go after and people are watching.
Trump is a puzzle though. One part of
me predicts he will at some point bow out and throw his support to
whoever the establishment wants. Hey he did endorse Mitt Romney over
Ron Paul. Or his ego could get in the way and he could run as an
independent. How would he govern as an independent with no platform
or party behind him, I don't know that either. Time will tell or
maybe I will figure it out before then and tell.

Where's John Kerry? I still think we
will be seeing him shortly.
