Tortoise and Hare-Presidential Election

tortoise and hare donald Trump  2  Ben Carson

This Presidential Election cycle is a perfect example of the tortoise and hare politics. Where Donald Trump is bold and brass Ben Carson quietly tries to appeal to the people. There are other match-ups that are similar in the Presidential race such as “Hillary Clinton” & “Bernie Sanders”  where the unknown slowly creeps up on the one with all the “resources” yet I believe Ben Carson & Donald Trump draw a clearer picture of this type of race. Here’s a few examples (below) why I believe that is so.

(1) QUIET & LOUD- Donald Trump will grab the microphone and make sure everyone will have to listen while Ben Carson speaks softly so people have to try and listen.

(2) SLOW & FAST- Ben Carson has held on to his spot for awhile inching up slowly while Donald Trump has had a lead that appears to have grown except in the most recent polls.

(3) CARAT & LETTUCE- Mr. Trump may possess the financial resources to race to the finish line but Ben Carson relies on his slow moving strategy as if he is eating lettuce along the way.

This ending may not work out like the fairy tales but even if this tortoise won’t finish 1st I see another few gathering speed in the distance.

Driver Fatigue

Society must deal with “driver fatigue” as it dealt with ” driving with alcohol”.  We all drive when we’re tired but there is a difference with yawning and having you’re eyes close.  “Tracy Morgan” should be the poster boy for the change we need in our society. Here are just a few ways (below) we can start making a difference.

(1) AIR IN CAR- Automobiles should be tested for Co level inside the vehicle and have extra oxygen pumped in.

(2) MONITORS- Cars should be able to sense when a person’s eyes are drifting off the road and send a loud alert to wake them up.

(3) TRUCK DRIVERS MONITOR- The amount of hours that a truck driver works consistently must be monitored not to exceed a certain dangerous level. If the driver works past this level they can personally be held liable for any accidents that occur.

Body Thinking

They are laughing at many of us because of instead of thinking with the one organ we have in common we are thinking with different parts of our body.  I understand the pride that one feels when one of “our own” makes it to the “big screen” but maybe it’s best we read their words instead.   For pride doesn’t make up for not telling the truth, or bad policy decisions.  I know that my leaning to candidates such as Marco Rubio, Ben Carson &  Carly Fiorina has some relevance to their body makeup but my brain is carefully evaluating them as candidates as well.  I try to look past the picture on the wall and see the inner workings to determine who is best to truly lead our country. It’s time we all evaluate our candidates with our brain not just skin or body parts.

Iranian Nuclear Deal/Israel’s Response

Every nation has the duty to protect it’s citizen and Israel must use this right in it’s response to the Iranian nuclear deal.  Israel should announce that due to this “Nuclear Agreement” it will respond to any attack by Iran either directly or indirectly (through it’s proxy armies-Hezbollah, Hamas etc) with devastating force at Israel’s discretion.  As we know Nuclear materials can be delivered by many means and Israel must make sure that this never becomes the case. They have no room for error.  Therefore G-D forbid the response is necessary it will be devastating blow to the Iranian regime.  This evil regime has been warned.

Don’t play the “Trump Game”

“Donald Trump” is sitting in the board room and the media are at his beckon call. For this campaign maybe just as much about publicity as it is about becoming  President. The only way the media will be able to have a respected seat is if they stop with the “gotcha questions” and start asking specific policy questions that require specific detailed answers. Once Mr. Trump starts speaking in generalities then continue to ask him for more specifics. Here’s a few questions that should be asked.

(1) Please give the specifications of the type of wall you want to build between Mexico in the United States. In that answer please describe the length, material that will be used, time frame it should take to build and the actual cost no matter who would pay.

(2) What specifically would you do to defeat ISIS. Please include in your answer the military as well as intelligence assets that would have to be utilized and how you could mobilize other countries to get involved in such a fight.

(3) Do you believe it’s important for a President to have humility if so how when you insure  that you’re kept grounded?

 

2016 Debates-Withdrawl

2016 presidential candidates. 2

 

It’s only been a few hours and the eurphoria still keeps me going as if I slept for 10 hours instead of 4.  I know later on my eyes might start to close or my stomach might seek revenge but I’ll just whiff in the few moments of the excitement of the debate and I think I’ll get through it.  Only 38 days till I get my next fix.  Here a few quick  thoughts (below) that come to my mind the morning after.

(1) Even Donald Trump would have fired himself after last nights performance.

(2) Marco Rubio had an excellent night with clarity and depth in his answers.

(3) Ben Carson had the funniest line of the debates. You’ll have to watch it although it has to do with Siamese Twins and 1/2 of a brain.

(4) Best Fight belonged to Rand Paul and Chris Christie bring some boxing gloves next time.

(5) Ted Cruz has incredible oratory skills.

(6) John Kasich appears to be holding back on his John Boeher emotions.

(7) Scott Walker did fine and had one great zinger on Hillary.

(8)Mike Huckabee was very passionate and did a great job making Trump uncomfortable at the last moments of the debate.

(9)  Jed Bush said all the right words but didn’t have the passion that the other candidates had.

TOP 3 PERFORMANCES-  Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz,  Mike Huckabee/John Kasich (Tie but Kasich had home field advantage)

confession 2

   My name is “Bud Rebel” and I’m a political junkie. There is hardly a day that I can go without my fix of Fox News and certain times I become so desperate that I’ll even stop by MSNBC.  This fix isn’t enough by watching a television show but I have to expose my world to it as well.  Today my drug is in full force as the start of “The Presidential Debates” begin. My mind will try to think about work, family today  but it won’t stay too long till my addiction takes in and I’ll drift into the political sphere.   I’ll say to myself that it’s only one “Presidential Debate” but I know after it’s over I’ll have to watch the next one, and the one after that and so on until my mind becomes numb. What’s even worse is that I’ll watch the Pre-coverage, after-coverage and coverage two years in the future (well maybe…).  I’ll be okay though November is just around the corner right? Come to think about it who will run in 2020?

Iran Nuclear Deal- Worse Case

While the President tries to paint the rosiest picture of the Nuclear deal that was set with the Iranian deal I see many thorns that can await.  I’ve decided to list (below) the worst case scenario that G-D forbid could occur. Maybe the truth lies in the middle and if that should be the case, it’s still a lousy deal.

(1) Iran secretly cheats on the deal and continues it’s program hidden from the inspectors. Easy to do since they’ve been planning this for years and have at least 24 days for an actual inspection to occur to see if they have any violations.

(2) They utilize the actual monies received from the deal to buy delivery systems for such weapons from North Korea and other rogue nations. Any extra monies left over are used to fund their terrorist organizations that hit and kill western interests.

(3) Iran has the terrorist organizations build dirty bombs made up of nuclear materials and attacks several locations at one time. Yet takes no blame for such actions because they were “independent groups”.

(4) If threats of retaliation against Iran occur. Iran will use the U.N. and it’s rogue allies to mount a defense and will have the weapons to offer an offense before such an attack could occur.

 

Republican Presidential Debates- Why 5 PM could be a winner

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Political, Uncategorized - No Comments

Republican Presidential Debates

Yes it would be best to be the top debater but coming in a strong 2nd might be better then expected. This is where those who have appeared to lose the top spot at the 9 PM Debates might just have an advantage.  Here (below) are just a few reasons that 5PM rather then 9PM might just work.

(1) SHORTER TIME- The average viewer might tune out for a 2 hour 9PM debate but a 1 hour 5 PM debate might catch their attention.

(2) DRIVING- Many more people will hear your actual words driving or working during a 5PM debate rather then see your looks or what you where.  It’s possible your words might go farther.

(3) DISCUSSION BEFORE- The winners and losers of the 1st debate will be discussed for several hours leading up to the 9PM debate slot giving additional time for their messages to be heard.

(4) NON-TRUMP- You might sling digs at the “top tier” candidates and not have to worry about their response. The punching bag awaits.

(5) SEVEN NOT TEN- There are less candidates on the stage which might allow your response to be heard louder and clear then at the 9PM slot.

(6) SCREW UPS-  It’s easier to recover from a mistake on the small stage then the big stage.

Presidential Debate 2016- Trumping the Trump

empty debate stage2016 presidential candidates

The Presidential Candidate to offer the other candidates especially Trump what they want is the one that will have the “ZINGER” for the debates.  Here is the line that will bring their campaign to the top drum role please. “ If elected President I will hire Donald Trump to build the fence to keep illegal aliens out of this country because of his incredible business skills to get things done in that arena and once he’s done there I’d want him in charge of Housing and Urban Development.  Yet running a business isn’t similar to running a government because you can’t fire elected official.  I will also hire……  (name as many candidates as possible to other positions)”.  After you stole the debate sit down and take a deep breathe then call me up to thank me for the helpful advise.
