The Campaign: Hillary and Trump

Now that the conventions are over, we can get down to the two party selections campaigning for votes.  However, we are also witnessing for the first time in recent history, two candidates that have high negatives. 

So, let’s examine these negatives.   Those who have researched and follow Hillary’s career know that she is a habitual liar.  In fact, the next time she tells the truth may well be the first in nearly 40 years.  When she was on the Watergate Committee as an aide, she was fired for guess what, lying.  Her lying history has traveled from Washington D.C. through Arkansas, the white House, the Senate, to Secretary of State and now as a presidential candidate.  Yet, even though she is a pathology liar, the democrats are still supporting her for president.  (A liar that the individual may be aware they are lying, or may believe they are telling the truth. Sometimes however, the individual may be lying to make their life seem more exciting when in reality they believe their life is unpleasant or boring).  Says a lot about today’s Democratic Party.  Power over the people, control the people through government, something we had a Revolutionary War, rather than the following the constitution as written, not as they want to interpret our governing document.

Her lies have been around from Watergate, Whitewater, travelgate, filegate, Fast and Furious, Libya, Egypt, addressing Russian issues, setting up the frame work for the Iran nuclear deal, Benghazi and the private server and Email scandal.  Lies all. 

But what do we hear Trump discuss on his travel ventures? “I can make America great again, I will deal with China and Mexico, I will stop illegal immigration, I will renegotiate our trade deals, I will build up our military and end with I will make America great again.  Notice, everything is I, I, I, I”.  We need a little we being used. 

For Donald Trump, we have a person that is not part of the political establishment, but lacks the experience of campaigning.  An individual that has always been telling others what to do and how to do it over accepting advice from those who have better experience in certain areas.  This is obvious since the primaries where Trump use the power of his mouth to belittle and insult his fellow candidates as he rode the insults to the nomination.  He received the most votes since the voters are tired of the political elite in both parties running the elections and telling the voter of their party who to vote for over the voters being able to select the candidate they want.  We saw this in the two previous elections.  This time we had 17 candidates, some of whom the party elite had no control.  They were Trump, Cruz and Fiorina.  But, with all the efforts the elite tried to undermine Trump, he succeeded.  Trump believes he can continue his insulting rhetoric and win the election.  It is obvious, Trump had better listen to those who have the knowledge on how to campaign and when to speak and what to say. 

Trump’s problem is he thinks he is more knowledgeable than anyone ever running for president since George Washington.  However, Trump needs to understand a few things to be a successful candidate. 

1.     Silence is golden

2.     Have knowledge on what you are discussing

3.     Insulting rhetoric will not work

4.     Think before you speak

5.     You are not the only person in the room.  Millions are watching including those who are waiting for your usual verbal slip

6.     The media is not your friend.  Remember it has been nearly 250 days since Hillary gave a press conference since she knows she cannot handle these rapid fire questions, most that will be soft, but she also knows some will not.  So again, think about going on these shows where they are all supporters of Hillary and make an ass of yourself. 

7.     Attack Hillary on the economy, trade, real unemployment, Islamic Terrorism and her constant lies to the American people as I have mentioned above. 

8.     Get your brains out of your ass.

If Trump can remember all this he will be successful. The voters are not happy with the economy, jobs or low paying jobs, inflation although it seems food prices are not included in the stats.  Those of us that actually enter stores, know food prices are rising, or the packages are getting smaller in ounces, but look the same size.  The voters see this, but I guess if you are Hillary and Trump, you do not do your own shopping.  These are important issues and the sooner Trump awakens and listens, the better he will be as a candidate and hopefully the better the country will be.  

We know terrorism is a very important issue and must be addressed as many Americans are awaiting the next terrorist attack in this country and how the Obama administration appears to tell the people otherwise.  But, we also know the old saying, “It is the economy stupid”.

Again, Trump get your brains out of your ass.
