"Passion"

Passion....or lack of it clearly describes the attitudes of voters this election. Donald Trump has passionate followers and no one will ever change their mind. He also has a large segment of the voting public that passionately would NEVER vote for him no matter who he is running against. And that says a lot since he is running against a serial criminal, yet the experts say he will lose in November.

Hillary is also facing head winds in the November election and there is not so much passion involved with her supporters. Like Trump there is also a large segment of the voting public that would NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton and plan to hold their nose and vote for Trump or not vote. On the support side I don't see much 'passion'; ask yourself how many people you have seen that passionately want Hillary to be President, many of her supporters just don't like Trump. I have a son who hates Trump and even jokes (I think) about moving to Canada if Trump is elected. I asked him what he was going to do if Hillary is elected, his response: "So what if we have another crook in the White House, that's not unusual". How's that for a ringing endorsement of Hillary.

Hillary's advantage is the entitlement society; millions rely on government assistance in the form of food stamps, welfare, housing assistance, Obamacare subsidies, free cell phone assistance...it is endless, and these folks will never vote for a Donald Trump or any other 'pro work' President. I'm not saying there are folks that don't need assistance, of course there are, but in my opinion not in the numbers on the government dole right now.

The Republican Convention was not filled with a lot of passion, although Rudy gave it a good shot. But it was a good convention in my opinion, the Cruz dust up and the Melania accusation of plagiarism were just speed bumps, but contrary to the liberal media calling it a food fight, I liked the many speakers and the message. In my opinion the story of the convention was Trump's family, especially his kids; what an impressive group. There is an old saying; "You cannot fake good kids"; they were intelligent, great speakers, classy, and not pretentious in any way. If Trump is smart he will have them all on the road during his campaign.

Mike Pence was a safe choice for Trump and adds the political experience needed. Today Hillary announced her VP choice; Senator Tim Kaine. When it comes to 'passion' I would color Pence gray and I would color Kain gray; so we have 'gray squared' VP candidates...plan on dinner out for the VP debate.

So now we go to the Democratic Convention where as one pundit described it "They will try to tear the skin off Donald Trump", and why not, that is what this bullshit we call politics is all about.    

Madam "Bobble head"

Bernie Sanders' speech endorsing Hillary in New Hampshire yesterday was a sight to watch. It was sad to see Bernie become such a political prostitute; I lost what little respect I had for him. And watching him go on about 'income inequality' with Hillary standing behind him; yes the same Hillary that made over $21 million the past several years making speeches to Wall Street and foreign entities jostling for future favors in her administration.

If you haven't seen his endorsement speech, check it out on You Tube. She stood behind Bernie with that Clinton smirk on her face and nodding 'yes' at every far left point he made. Someone actually counted the nods and they totaled over 400 during the Crazy Uncle's speech. A "bobble head" doll would have been envious.

Watching her with that smirk on her face I could imagine what she was thinking:  "You suckers thought I would be indicted but us Clintons can always slither out of these minor criminal acts...ha ha. And now Bernie is endorsing me, so I will go along with his program just to get votes from his followers. But when I get elected I will drop this crazy old man and his followers like a cheap pantsuit. I will never abandon those Wall Street and other major donors that I owe favors". 

This election season is depressing for many of us especially watching the blatant corruption shown by Obama, Hillary, Bill, Loretta Lynch, and even FBI Director Comey who after giving Hillary a 'get out of jail card', admitted to Congress the following day that she lied under oath many times, tried to hide emails, kept an unsecured server in her home, and was guilty of gross carelessness. This whole corrupt Obama administration has proven one thing - people thought the system was rigged in Hillary's favor and they were proven to be correct. Let's hope the voters will have the final say this November and sent this serial criminal in pantsuits packing and out of our lives.
