Presidential Candidates

[SECTMB 612]

Not a firematic issue but:

Hillary Clinton is the apparent front runner in the Democratic party. But she is at risk due to all the numerous 'scandals' and the potential for even more to come depending on the current FBI investigation. Bernie is a Socialist and O'Malley is as light a weight as can be found. Neither highly electable in the General.

But everytime I hear pundits talking about last minute candidates to pick up the baton should Hillary falter, they never mention Andy. Here's a current Liberal Democrat Governor of a major Democratic state, he's a former HUD Secretary, he's dating? a beautiful TV celebrity, his children are Kennedy's and he inherited his fathers oratory skills.

Why does his name not come up? Is he too susceptible to becoming Preet's final fall guy in the 'third man in the room' ?

My guess is you will Andy run in the next election. And though I am not a Hiliary fan by any means she seems to wiggle out of everything so I don't see her going anywhere.

It's O'Malley not Malloy.

Sander is a democratic Socialist. Two days ago the Wall Street journal quoted a Quinnipiac University poll that shows Sanders is More electable then Clinton (and Trump and Cruz)

I'm not sure how we can have a political discussion when we can't even get basic facts right.

Are we really going to start talking politics here?

Aren't there enough other forums covering this nonsense?

Every time politics comes up here, people later regret it.

Somebody is going to Win and somebody is going to Loose. But it won't be because of my vote.

I really enjoy watching the people give each other reasons why THEIR candidate is the Best. We put these political leaders up on a pedestal and hope they will take care of us. When they are really only concerned about taking care of THEMSELVES.

We campaign for them and we even throw our hard earned money at them. Hoping that they will remember us.

Trump talks about keeping illegal immigrants out. Yet I would like to know if he hires Americans, not immigrants, to wash his floors at his mansions or hotels.

And what about Hillary ? If anybody believes her line of B/S, let me know. I think I know of a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell them. I wonder how many illegal immigrants she has washing her floors ?

But if you really want a favor from any one of our famous political candidates and you really want them to remember you, here's what you gotta do:

1) Make a very sizable donation to each and EVERYONE'S Campaign. Make it the highest amount possible equal to each. We are talking several thousands of dollars here.

2) Show up at as many $10,000 dinner plate meals as possible. Make sure you do this for all. And when you are there, make sure you introduce yourself to the candidate and you want to thank them for the opportunity to have this dinner. Tell them your name and how you have supported them with your sizable donation. It is important that you make sure you exchange personnel information such as personnel phone numbers etc.

3) When the election is over and the best guy wins, call them to congratulate them. If they don't remember who you are, tell them about your very sizable contribution and how you attended several of their $10,000 dinner plate meetings. Tell them you are willing to offer them your help in any way possible. Don't forget to give them all the information they need in case they would like to contact you.

HOWEVER - and this is VERY IMPORTANT. Just don't tell them how you gave to each of the other candidates. As well as attending those expensive dinner plates. How you really didn't care who won as long as the winner is able to take care of you and your wishes.

By the way, on that illegal immigrant thing, in case you didn't know, many of those illegal immigrants are working right here now as you read this. They pay social security just like we do through payroll deduction. And every year they are required to file and pay federal income tax just like we do.

There are many cases where Big Business Corporations have gotten rid of their $12.00/hour American Workers with benefits, and replaced them all with immigrant workers for $8.00/hour with NO benefits. So who gets the extra profits ? Those same people who gave those very sizable campaign donations and attended many of those expensive dinner plate meetings. These Big Business Corporations even hire recruiters to go to these immigrant countries and hire them, with a promise of a better life for them. And with year after year of thousands of illegals paying social security and federal taxes into our system, our government has no plans to get rid of any.

I know of one major corporation that has hired 100's of them and has done just that. And there's plenty more. Those illegals have no rights under our labor laws. Meanwhile the Big Boys enjoy a lavish life style. All because they made those sizeable contributions and attended those dinners with our elected official. If someone was to try and get rid of those immigrants not only could it be political suicide, but many of our largest tourist cities would totally collapse as well. And tourism is only one small sector. There are hundreds of other sectors out there as well.

We owe it all to our current and past politicians. If you are a part of the Very Rich or you are a part of the Very POOR, you owe it all to our elected officials.

Of course if you still would like to send in your $25.00 contribution and go knocking door to door for them, you are welcomed to do so.

Good luck and Best wishes.

Here's something I thought a few might be interested in watching. It's regarding those illegal immigrants that are recruited by Americans to take over some of the jobs here. I wonder if our political candidates know about this thing going on ! What do you think they should do about it ?

In 2016, more so than at any other time in most of our lifetimes thus far, Democrats are going to vote Democrat and Republicans are going to vote Republican. The country hasn't been this polarized and divided in quite some time. Fact is there's nothing any candidate can do to swing voters of the opposite party, the line are too firmly drawn. The middle ground, like the middle class, is disappearing as rhetoric replaces reason and ignorance overwhelms intelligence....and that's bad for the politicos and bad for us.
