Philosophy

Marco Rubio’s had one shot to get back into campaign main ring in Republican Presidential Race and he came fully loaded (see clip below).  It was the opposite of what occurred in New Hampshire where Rubio was moving up the ladder until he fell into the recording moment.  This time Rubio lead Donald to that moment and repeat Mr. Trump did in front of a national audience. Donald Trump being the political genius that he is was able to stop the bleeding the next day by employing Marco Rubio’s nemesis Chris Christie as his new supporter.  It is now up to the Rubio campaign to find a way to pull off that band-aid and let the bleeding continue by continuing to pick out Donald’s poor performance and introduce their own super weight supporter to their team.  Stay tuned to see if that one shot performance is enough to carry Marco past Super Tuesday and beyond.

Senator Rubio is not looking as if he’s interested in being Mr. Trump’s V.P. after a veracious attack against Donald Trump in the CNN Presidential Debate.  Senator Rubio has hit him with punches that he hasn’t had to absorb in the past whether it be on his past business decisions of hiring temporary workers, to his past policies on immigration yet Trump came back with a flurry as usual. Yet later in the debate Marco hit him brilliantly with  demonstrating how Mr. Trump repeating the same lines over and over again. If that wasn’t enough he hit him with an upper cut on Mr. Trump’s neutral position between Israel & Palestinians that left his legs wobbly.   It will be up to the American people whether any lasting damage to the Donald has been done but if he goes further he’ll probably ripping out Senator Rubio’s resume from his V.P. list.

I know there is also John Kasich & Ben Carson in the CNN debate tonight but tonight one of these 3 will have to truly shine… actually only 2.  For Donald Trump can float by the stage and say a few words here or there while Marco & Ted will have to have the debate of a lifetime (or perceived by the media as such) for them to change the narrative that is told by those elites about where the campaign is going.  It may not actually be what you say but how it is perceived by those in the Super Tuesday states and the shows they are influenced by, that will make the difference in the entire election cycle.  Tonight is truly the night where campaigns and even this country’s destiny for the next four to eight years can be determined. Let’s just say the cards, rabbit foot and socks are on this table.

They’ve always dreamed about being in a movie but when the going got tough they went to  “Boston Market“. It was during the filming of ASU that I realized we might say we want something in our life but only will commit to go so far to get it.   At work today it appears for most that occurs exactly at 4:30PM no matter what is left behind even if it’s a customer.

For me that point appears always longer then most and as I get older I wonder if I’ve missed the point altogether. It is very difficult for me to leave one paper behind for another time or not shoot for an opportunity no matter how far the basket might be.  My obligations to others (in my head) often have taken over my responsibilities, opportunities and fun in my personal life.  Yet the point is getting closer in my life as major expenditures appear to be coming to a close where I see that folder closing even if it’s not been fully read. The problem is looks can be deceiving and sometimes what we see might further down the shore then we expect.  It will take many tiny steps to get there but there will be a time when this occurs,  the problem is I just might not be there to put up my feet.

Donald Trump is winning but unifying the party is a whole different story and with the following approach (below) this story will be written.  Trust me I’m still rooting for Marco Rubio and will stay in his camp until the fat man & woman start singing but it pays to the think of the whole picture in advance.

(1) PICK YOUR ADVERSARIES- Publicly state that you will be looking into having your Republican Presidential opponents in your cabinet and drop a few names of those that have already  dropped out   (ex Chris Christie as Attorney General and Mike Huckebee as Educational Secretary). Go a step further and suggest that if/when Marco Rubio decides to drop out that he would be high on your list as a V.P. candidates and Ted Cruz would be someone you would strongly consider to replace Anthony Scalia’s position on the Supreme Court.

(2) DETAILED PLANS – Come out with thoroughly vetted plans on economic and foreign policy issues that have been reviewed by top experts in the field.

(3) PRESIDENTIAL- Continue to speak in plain tone but lower the volume a bit and listen without interrupting unless truly necessary.

The remaining Republican candidates must be willing to spank Donald Trump at the CNN debate this Thursday for his own benefit.  Just as when you spank your child (Thank G-D it wasn’t necessary for me) you do it out of love so at this point in the campaign the attacks must be done in the same fashion. For the betting odds are saying he has a good chance to be the Republican nominee and if that becomes the case (still hoping and praying not) he must be ready for the fight of the century.  Therefore his opponents must not attack his character he’s already shown an ability to take those punches and hit back harder but his policies and how they would be implemented. Sarcasm will be used on the big stage so there’s no reason to hold back on those punches as well.  Hit him also on the to wealthy to care because that will definitely be an angle the Democratic nominee  will throw most of their punches at him should he enter the main boxing ring. Donald probably won’t enjoy such a spanking but it will make him a better candidate in the general election if it doesn’t stop him there.

John Kasich’s only reason to stay in the race after another awful finish in Nevada is to fulfill some arrogant ego trip.  For when you come in the bottom tier of 3 out of the 4 state votes you must see that your message isn’t coming home or anywhere else. Please also note that his 2nd place finish in New Hampshire was mostly a fluke  due to a last minute snafu by Marco Rubio. Some might feel that I’m picking on Governor Kasich but I actually like him it’s just there are reason’s (below) for the others to stay in the race. Although even those reasons are drying up like water in a desert and unless a victory comes along by early March even the camels won’t be able to ride you to the finish line.

(1) Appears to be the unifying voice against the Donald Tidal Wave by coming in 2nd in the last 2 races but unless he is able to get a better board that wave will crash on him and the entire Republican Party

(2) Ted Cruz- Has a unique strong conservative message but if the public continues to not listen by Super Tuesday maybe he should just voice it from the Senate.

(3) Ben Carson- I’m not really sure why he’s in the race other then he’s retired and this gives him a chance to visit the country for free.  Yet he isn’t really pulling votes from any directions so I guess let the tour bus continue until the monies pull out.
