So we started with 17 candidates. The RNC does not pick the candidates, people choose to run. As the field was being whittled own the cry was always, "Trump can't even get 50%". The field continued to be whittled down until we got to Trump. Cruz and Kasich. Trump then began to get better than 50%, which I guess still wasn't enough for people.
The country had 16 others to choose from and in the end they chose Trump. I know all you elitists that would down your nose at people like my sister will never understand the attraction of Trump because you've likely never lived in the world they live in. For decades they have heard "politicians" tell them how everything will be better if they are elected yet things do not get better for them and they are voicing their displeasure by choosing the one candidate that they believe might be able to help them. Will he, I don't think we really know for sure. I know the Cruzers here are beyond convinced and will be satisfied when Hillary is elected and through that they will feel vindicated in their criticism of Trump. In the meantime Hillary will hasten the end of the U.S. of A. It must be sad for Jeff to be so close to becoming an American just when the America he came here for is beginning its journey into oblivion.
My personal belief is there is no turning back at this point in time, short of a real revolution. The kids I went to school with that heard about Communism, as I did, thought it sounded really cool and they took over the colleges and universities over the years and we can now see the fruits of their labor in the Bernie supporters, a whole generation of young folks that now feel everything should be given to them. Just how do you expect to stop that? My youngest son, 41, feels the Bern.
As much of a conservative libertarian as I am I do believe we have CEO's making too much money, but I also have done the math to know that if you cut his/her pay way back and split among everyone it would not amount to much. It is the appearance that counts though. Folks will work hard for a company to earn their paycheck, but it does something to them also to see that the CEO just made $25M dollars this year because they worked so hard.
I am pissed that we do nothing about the illegal immigrants because they will "do the jobs Americans will not do". WTF, how many people are on welfare and how many of those could be doing some of the those jobs? Take the fucking welfare and EBT cards away and see how quickly they take some of those jobs. Since when have we become so proud that we can't landscape, frame houses, pour cement and any number of things?
Look at the Trump protesters in California. They carry Mexican flags and signs that say "make California Mexico again". Let's make their dream come true and just ship their asses back to Mexico. Don't leave Mexico for something better and then come here and try to turn us into Mexico. Come here, assimilate by learning the language and become an American. Somehow that doesn't seem to be a thing to be proud of anymore, thanks to Obama.
It's been a great and I was glad to have been a part of it, but I can see the end in sight. The lessons of Russia, Cuba, Venzuela just to name three have not taught us anything as the Progressive just tell us that it wasn't done right and the "Democratic Socialism" will work. Yeah, that will be the difference, the moochers voting to take more from the producers.
Enjoy what you can while you can.
