The Republican’s should move very, very slowly in considering Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court all the way to the end of the Obama Administration but have a fast lever if  certain events occur during such  a period .  They both would appear to be secret except for the starred** one below that would some how be leaked to the White House.

(1) G-D forbid Hillary Clinton is elected on November 3rd  then Merrick would be approved before the inauguration period because she would pick a more liberal candidate then this individual. This would be rushed even faster if in addition the G.O.P loses seats in the Senate

**(2) If somehow the Obama Administration allows justice to occur as it relates to the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton then the G.O.P could move this justice along.

(3) The President moves on a piece of legislation that he wouldn’t have considered in the past such as totally revamping Obamacare or eliminating the Income Tax. Hey it’s nice to dream.

I’m not the biggest supporter of Donald Trump but what occurred in Chicago makes me stand firmly on his side. For silencing those you disagree with is something you see in Cuba not in our country.  If you don’t agree with a candidates position you should  peacefully protest outside such a venue but it’s wrong to silence those who have come to listen by disrupting such an event.  Political discourse must be maintained with civility for a democracy to truly be Democratic. I will be attending an event that Hillary Clinton will be speaking at and although I strongly disagree with her words and actions I will be respectful while she speaks.  Those who believe by silencing such an event through rude and near violent protest have instead added timber to a fire that will only spread Donald Trump’s message to areas not usually ignited by his words. They may have done more to unite people behind Donald Trump then any speaking engagement would have done.  As someone who has supported those running against Donald Trump thanks for nothing 

Part II of the boring debate continues as sleepy eye Ben Carson is going to endorse Donald Trump. Someone get me an Expresso! I think the Dr. might have prescribed Donald some medicine last night as he didn’t come out swinging but almost sleeping.  Seriously though the endorsement appears to make sense for Ben Carson and Donald Trump are outsiders, they both have said extreme Anti-Muslim remarks, and Ben has still not forgiven Cruz for taking him out of the campaign.  This endorsement couldn’t have come at a better time for Donald Trump steals the spotlight just when the spotlight might have moved to the other candidates.

I’ve been a supporter for Marco Rubio’s  run for the Presidency way before he even entered the race but even I have to admit I hear the fat lady singing (It might be too much Fox News) .  The point is should he stick a sock in that mouth or decide to listen before the Florida primary?  If he was to leave the race before Florida he would give 99 delegates to Donald Trump but if he stayed in he could still lose big to Donald in Florida and peel off votes for the other Anti-Trumpsters in  Ohio, North Carolina, and Illinois.  He also could shock the establishment and do better then anyone expected (Bernie in Michigan).  I can’t tell Marco Rubio what to do but if I was in his shoes this would be my strategy.

(1) Media campaign before the debates hinting about some “New Exciting Information” that I’ll announce at the CNN Debate.

(2) Debate night

A. New solutions (battling terrorism, drug abuse, mental health problems, etc) even if moderators aren’t going in that direction.

B. Ignore Trump and Cruz personal attacks and focus on positive messages. “I believe we have broken the 11th Commandment and don’t intend to continue to break it further!”

B. Get Personal about strengths and weaknesses– bring a tear or two to the viewers eyes

C. End with Political Shockwave– If on Sunday night at 8PM if three polls show that the solutions and the positive message I’m presenting isn’t resonating with the people of Florida and the nation (ex. down by 15 points) I will pull out of the race.  “I’m a public servant which means I serve at the public’s behalf and if they decide that this isn’t the time or place then I accept their decision.  I will work 24 hours for 3 days straight to make sure that they are given all the information I can provide to make an educated decision.

D. I’d live up to the words in this debate.
