After watching the Presidential debate last night and sleeping on it I want to give you my good morning impression (below) before any political procrastinator puts things in our minds.

KASICH HANDS– I can’t wipe these images out of my mind it’s haunting me wherever I go. I understand using body language but I can’t listen to him without my hands moving all around now.

BUSH NO HANDS– He might have many of the same positions of Mr. Kasich but is the polar opposite when it comes to hand movement. A bit over rehearsed that fell apart in his concluding statement.

CARLY FIORINA’s FEMINIST REMARK- Woman don’t just talk but act. Her powerful red dress and her knowledge of the facts were impressive as well but she kept interrupting …again.

GANG UP ON RUBIO- Rubio took hits from all different sides from Paul as well as Cruz as incoming missiles landed but never had a big impact. Foreshadowing Cruz and Rubio will continue to battle each other on immigration and security throughout this political season and it will get nastier not nicer. 

CRUZ / TRUMP BOND- Donald Trump wouldn’t take the bait and attack Ted Cruz a matter of fact he was quite the politician last night as caution was in his wind.

CHRISTIE OUTSIDER IN – Chris Christie tried to suggest he was outside the squabbling but inside the government to get things done and kept bringing up 911. I was also impressed that he ignored Paul’s rude comment on bridge gate.  Strong  orator but maybe too little to late

BEN CARSON NICE-  He’s a nice, smart, good person but I think he’s lacking the enthusiasm factor and is starting to fade. 

PAUL’S SMALL BUT VOCAL SUPPORTERS-  You could tell his support was small because the crowd had to scream instead of clap when they supported his views. He came across petty and nasty though.

Don’t worry my dog isn’t trying to become a member he’s too smart for that.  Yet as I picked up my growling, snapping dog to take him for his walk (which he didn’t want to go for initially) I realized how ISIS acts like my dog.  At first the snapping and growling dog would actually create fear from these acts but when I proved I was the Alpha Dog, by not giving into his whim he slowly backed down. ISIS is small weak and puny compared to the military might of the United States and it’s allies around the world in this fight.  If we would stop worrying about being politically correct we could annihilate this evil in no time.  My little dog did go for a walk and actually enjoyed it (his tail was up) and the people of the Middle East will be grateful as well when we (G-D willing ) have the determination to defeat ISIS even if they have no tails to wave.

Dog reference is not meant to be offensive and if you are offended you don’t realize how much I love my dogs.

If only you could say the truth “This is …. (fill in your four letter word)” because not only can’t you fit in their shoes but you’re wearing Sneakers instead.  Empathy sucks but at the same time it’s what we all crave. How many relationships would have been saved if someone had just said “That’s terrible”?  Would many acts of violence be knocked down if people just took the time to listen to the words and understand where they were coming from (even in the North Pole)  instead of waiting for the punches?  That sales pitch would have worked, if only you empathized with the needs of the person you were trying to sell. Empathy is one of the most difficult traits to gain for it takes us off our own goals/time and makes us wait for the other yet when true can be the most comfortable sneaker to wear for the short and long term.
