What greater disparity can there be between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and their campaigns? Of note, more “established Republican’s” are warming to Trump. They hate Cruz. Next GOP debate Thursday, Jan. 28th on Fox News channel. Iowa Caucus on the following Monday, Feb. 1st.
Donald Trump has proved he is an absolute master at destroying his opponents. Just think for a moment how he has done it with any fellow candidate who has moved up in the polls against him. First it was Jeb Bush. “He’s a low energy person.” “I don’t want to talk too loud because I might wake him up.” And it caught on and worked. Next it was Dr. Ben Carson. “Who wants a President who says he almost bashed his mother with buckle” “Why would we want a person who said he almost killed someone?” So much for Dr. Carson. On to Ted Cruz. Has “The Donald” ever savaged better? First he reminds everyone about Cruz being born in Canada and putting doubt on his being eligible for President. Duel citiznship is Cruz. And Trump is correct. It is unsettled law according to Professor Lawrence Tribe of the Harvard law school. This issue has caught on with John McCain and fellow Senator’s (who hate Cruz anyway…he is absolutely unlikeable and unelectable) consulting Constitutional scholar’s. Already a lawsuit has been filed by a mere American Citizen. Do you think the Democrat’s would hesitate to sue should Cruz get the nomination? No way. It would be tied up for a year or more. If that was not enough, Trump launches an attack on Cruz for taking out a loan against his account from the hated Goldman Sach’s firm. Making matters worse, Cruz somehow forgot to notify the Feds on this loan. He only notified the Republican Party. Cruz said it was a mere over sight. Yeah sure. Iowa appears to be no longer in doubt as the latest poll states Trump has increased his lead to 11% over Cruz. And Cruz is behind most everybody in New Hampshire. So much for Ted Cruz.
There is one issue against Trump that I am surprised it did not come up earlier. Imminent domain. Trump believes in it and has done it for business. It is finally being used in campaign commercials. This is when a developer goes to court and gets a legal order to take somebody’s house, property or both for commercial development. Here he is vulnerable.
So who’s left to destroy by Trump? Why Hillary Clinton of course. Although she has been doing a pretty good job by herself. Hillary made the mistake of calling Trump sexist. Wham bam. Trump reminds everybody of her husband’s terrible sex escapades while President and Hillary ignoring or enabling the wrath brought down on long list of women who credibly accused Bill Clinton of these illicit acts including a rape allegation. “Politic’s ain’t bean bag” as the saying goes. But, Trump is throws “bombs away.” Absolutely remarkable his ability to destroy anyone who gets in his way. He is a master at attacking far and away from what anyone has ever seen before in contemporary politics. However, he is very thin skinned. It’s a liability.
Meanwhile Hillary Clinton can’t even beat a 73 year old Socialist Senator from Vermont who has virtually accomplished nothing in 25 years in Congress. Sen. Bernie Sanders has all the momentum while Hillary is going down the tubes on many fronts. She can’t even win the women’s vote as Sanders leads her in that category by 8%. One recent poll has Hillary losing in Iowa by 8%. In New Hampshire it is even worse. Money is pouring in for Sanders while Hillary is stopping her campaign heading home for fund raisers. In favorability of Democrat’s, Sanders has 91% over her 65%. She is an awful campaigner, (stiff and staged appearances) in a quandary of trying to get to the left of this Socialist opponent. Care to guess where Sanders spent his second honeymoon? No less than Communist Russia. And, I haven’t even gotten to her possible indictment from her email scandal that gets worse day by day.
The FBI has been able to obtain the emails she thought she had deleted. True to form, whoever was to erase all of them did an unprofessional job, the Feds have them. But, there is more every day. Drip drip drip. The FBI found on her home server two emails that were in the “Special Access Program.” This is a higher classification than even Top Secret. These are so important that when senior Congressional leaders are informed in extreme privacy meetings, any notes from those meetings have to be shredded before they leave the room. I won’t bore you with even more of the same released today, January 22, 2016. It seems endless. Anyone else with this type exposure would be in jail by now. What does she say….it’s those nasty Republican’s up to dirty tricks on her again. Even though the key man over seeing the FBI actions was appointed by her husband ex Prez Bill Clinton.
What the Hillary Clinton scandal boils down to now is will FBI Director James Comey bring and expose charges against her. Does he have the courage to do it? Comey cannot be discharged by Obama. Edgar Hoover seemed like he was the FBI Director for a century. Comey is well respected. All these leaks against Hillary have been corroborated by multiple sources. It has been reported the case will be done in thirty to forty more days. The pressure on the FBI Director will be enormous. And, if he does expose the crimes committed, what will Attorney General Loretta Lynch do? This is an enormous situation. A famous person…ex Senator…ex Secretary of State and a major candidate for the Presidency with severe charges faces jail time. If charges are brought, it would be tied up in court for a long time even after she could be elected President. Or as Jeb Bush put it, “Hillary would be running from the White House to the court house.” Beyond anyone’s imagination. It is simply hard to fathom.
Some how it always seems the Clinton’s get away with everything. And, it’s a good chance it will happen again. But, there would have to be some punishment. Obviously, she would have to step down as a candidate if charged. And, no way would the Democrat Party have Sen. Bernie Sanders heading their ticket. V.P Joe Biden would be the likely candidate, but with many legal issues within States, it would be a complicated situation. Other possibilities, Gov. Gerry Brown, John Kerry, Al Gore and maybe somebody could drag up Ralph Nader if he still is alive. I think not.
So that’s it. Our Country faces so many critical issues right now and we have this mess. Plus a Socialist leading the Dem. Presidential race. However, he likely will fade when the primaries head South. The Afro American vote would heavily go for Mrs. Clinton.
Let me leave you with this famous line….”Socialism’s great until we run out of other peoples money.” Ex British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
