"Fed up"

I have been traveling these past few weeks, driving across this beautiful country and had a lot of time to think. But all I can come up with is how fed up I am with the two candidates we have running to become President of this country. Out of 320 million people is this the best we can come up with?

Why have Donald Trump and (almost) Bernie Sanders received so many votes? Because the folks are angry and fed up - they are fed up with the Washington power structure not representing their votes, they are fed up with the liberal media trying to tell them how to vote, they are fed up with the cultural decline of this country, and they are fed up with the East Coast liberals thinking they are the "intellectuals" and the rest of the population are 'hayseeds' that can't think for themselves.

Well I have news for the so-called political/media power structure concentrated in the North East (and California), the folks are throwing you under the bus. I have said many times on this Blog that I am not a Trump supporter but I am a "never Hillary" supporter. Don't forget Bernie, he has also tapped into the folks that want to throw the establishment under the bus. Unfortunately he is running in a party that has a rigged primary election that planned a 'coronation' of Hillary before the election started. 

Isn't it interesting that the experts thought the Republican Convention would be chaos and now (most) Republicans, (reluctantly) are starting to support Trump. At the same time it looks like the Democratic convention may be chaos and according to some polls as many as 20% of Bernie supporters may vote for Trump. Hillary is a joke and many on the democratic side believe that. Here is my feeling about this election - we know what Hillary will do as President, we don't know what Donald Trump would do, but it would have to be an improvement.

Sadly this is going to be an election where for the first time in my life most voters will be voting for who they are 'against' not who they are 'for'. 

"All aboard the Trump Train II"

Well readers this will be a short Blog since I am leaving on a trip. If I get time I will Blog from the road, if not see you in a few weeks.

But I had to comment on the Trump Train which seems to be going full speed since my candidate Ted Cruz has dropped out. John Kasich says he will stay in the race, but that is like a Pop Warner football team trying to beat the Green Bay Packers, so I will not give him any more words in this Blog.

But it is time for Republicans to unite and direct our fire at Hillary Clinton because I still believe in the  'anyone but Hillary' mantra. The experts say Trump cannot possibly win; for those that promise to leave the country if Trump becomes president, I repeat my earlier comments; "Make sure your passport is up to date".

This guy has tapped into an anger in this country that may cross party lines. The experts say that the Democrats have the electoral advantage...I'm not so sure. I believe the next thing you will see is the Trump campaign leaking key appointments in the Trump administration, and he has a lot of  bench talent to draw from. If you compare Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Rudy Giuliani, and so many other Conservatives that have been in the background for years while Obama and his minions have tried to destroy this country to Hillary and her potential Administration, you may be surprised at what happens in the political arena the next few months...should be fun.

Signing off for a while.  John and Bob make your comments and keep this Blog posting going :-)
