Senator Lindsey Graham latest to announce run for Presidency  Latest candidate to announce run for Presidency is Senator Lindsey Graham. I have nothing against this guy at all, but did hear this morning, and last week, he really wants to put U.S. back in the middle of the middle East turmoil again with troops on the ground. With that being known about him, his vision for U.S., I'd like to continue with the following. China China is a nation that has been around since the days of Daniel in the bible, China has been around and has seen, as a nation, the rise and fall of many countries, identities, Empires, world movements, around them. Nations have come and gone, but China is still here, religions have been created, prophets walked the Earth, and have gone, yet Chinas still here as a nation. Why? What is it they do that other nations fail to do who have only been around for a micro second, including U.S.? Look at today, look at what's going on. China continues to expand, ever so slowly, or maybe now fast, they continue to be 'One' in identity, continue to build their fiscal power, as well as military power, as other nations struggle with debt. Senator Graham wants to inject American troops back into Iraq, the middle East, spend countless billions more fighting this eternal war against 'Islam', claims radical Islam is direct threat to U.S. Yet China....China, who is closer to the middle East doesn't so much as even yawn at ISIS. Why is that? Why is U.S. so concerned about ISIS, yet China is not? And why isn't ISIS or any other terror group concerned with China (or even Canada).  What is China doing today, that other nations aren't, that have allowed them to weather the storm, and to continue to adapt, grow in strength, while other nations flounder. China has been around for over 5000 years, do you not think there's a reason for that? Have they not, as a nation, seen what's going on in world today before? Were they not around during the rise and fall of Rome, Greece, and even ancient Egypt? Those nations, cultures, all gone, but China is still here. U.S. continues to spend resources fighting every enemy under the sun, nation fights at home amongst different political parties, different ethnic groups, ideologies. Yet China just sits there, and continues to grow in power and influence, while not involving troops in other region affairs. Instead China buys influence, slowly but surely, they're buying influence.  Chinas all in Africa now, yet never hear of them having conflict with Islam. China is smart, very smart, very clever.  All I'm saying is (for those who know how to think objectively) step back, observe, and look what's going on, see how U.S. is being used and played, and run down. And see how Senator Lindsey Graham and his wanting to forever fight Islam, plays right into the U.S's eventual down fall, the way the Soviet Union fell years ago always trying to fight the West. But China didn't fall. Look at Chinas strategy vs old Soviet Unions strategy. Right now U.S. is using old Soviet Union strategy to take on the world. Wake up and see what is happening.

Chris Christie For some reason I kind of like Chris Christie. I just don't like when he attacks the President, just as if he were President I would not like it if others poked at him all the time. But that aside, I kind of like the guy, the Rep Governor of New Jersey. Not sure if they're running for Presidency yet, but if they do, who knows. I sorta like Rand Paul also, but they don't like each other, and always fight.

President Obama won election by not being nasty towards Bush
President Barrack Obama won his election in 2008, not by bashing Bush Jr to death, but by creating a vision for all to see.
He didn't win the Whitehouse by being 'nasty' to standing President or 'Conservatives'.
Current Conservatives running for office could really learn something from his style, even Hillary could.
Even Hillary Clinton has a habit of bashing her GOP reviles.
It doesn't work.
To win, you must create a unifying vision that all can abhere to.
As soon as you start bashing 'The Left' or 'The Right' as a candidate, you've already alienated 50% or more of voters.
And by bashing 'their' fairly elected President (regardless of party), you again have alienated 50% or more of potential voters, cause when you attack 'their' President you're attacking them.
Politicians and their handlers are to stupid to realize this, and instead led around by the nose by talk radio hosts who just say things and create artificial divisions just for ratings.

Donald Trump had better learn to do more than just bark at the camera if he expects to stay atop the polls If Trump wants to stay atop the polls, he needs to learn how to articulate his ideas beyond just barking at the camera. Being imperialistic ruler or boss, owner, of company is one thing, being President of a country is different. Having great wonderful ideas is one thing, actually getting Congress and Senate to approve is another. Once in Government people with great ideas often get bogged down in legal procedures, red tape, ect. He must realize being President is different than being a King. Wanting to build a wall across southern border is one thing, appropriating funds for it is another, unless he finances it himself, but don't even think that would be legal unless the House agreed to it, he would need majority vote. Again, politics is a lot different than when you're the out right owner of own company and can do whatever you want. Not sure if Donald Trump would have the patients of being in office. Not sure if he'd have the patience for how long it actually takes bills to get passed, and then enacted. He's spoiled, just not sure if his personality or lifestyle is cut out for the oval office. Time will tell I guess.

Donald Trumps politics aside, not sure if he'd be content being President after a few months
His politics aside, just looking at his personality, a billionaire who has always been rich, was born into wealth and always gets his way, just not sure if such a mindset would fit well into public office where he'd now have to conform to all the regulatory constraints everyone other mortal has to.
If he became President it would be like Superman taking off their cape, or giving up their powers.
Talk is one thing, getting his ideas approved is a total other thing.
He's running for Office, not King.
Would he really have the patience for that I wonder?
I mean If I had 9 billion dollars, not sure if I'd want to shrink down to public office side.
Cause a lot of things he does now, he wouldn't be able to do as President.
And he can talk all he wants about closing the border, but not sure how he'll actually convince both Houses of Congress and the Senate to do the same.
Maybe he should try running for Governor or Mayor of a large city, first, instead and see how he likes that.
Or maybe use the 9 billion in wealth, buy own Island and create own nation or country.
Commentators and reporters need to starting putting the words 'How would you accomplish this or that?', in front of questions they ask him, or any other candidate.

If Huckabee runs campaign like a talk radio segment, he has no chance at all in H_ll of winning anything, accept another TV contract on Fox Hey Mr Huckabee, a bit of advice, people don't like people who blame others for things, it's a major major turn off, and that's all you did on the Bill O'Reilly show tonight, all you did was blame 'This administration' for this and for that. That's talk radio banter, that works fine with niche talk radio audience, but makes you sound like a hack, a political hack to vast audience outside of talk radio. Be a man and stand for your own issues aside from whatever the current President did or is doing, that's how you become a leader in other peoples eyes, not by constantly parroting Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh's disdain for the current President. You're advisers are advising you wrong, don't believe me?, than watch your popularity continue to dip, unless you follow the advice given here. Obama bashing is for losers, why continue to bash President that's on his way out? All you're doing is instantly alienating people, for one, and for two just makes you seem like a talk radio parrot which many associate with blind rhetorical hate. If you create that image for yourself, your candidacy is already doomed.

Also notice the candidates that are running their campaigns as if speaking only to talk radio or Fox News audience are doing the worse in the polls.
Candidates who run campaigns like some talk radio show are not growing their base or potential voters.
If people want talk radio type hype, they've already got Hannity and Limbaugh and Savage.
I've always said that talk radio and campaigning are two totally different beasts and both appeal to a different mindset.
The whole point of winning an election is to broaden ones appeal, not to keep it narrow and small.
The reason why Rick Perry's popularity in polls is like at 1%, is cause he sounds like a commentator on Fox News.
Like a parrot.
That turns a lot of people off.
Sounds like a infomercial or something.
Turns people off, doesn't attract new fresh potential voters.
Can't believe people are being paid to literally advice certain candidates to loose.

Mark Rubio has zero chance of being elected President.
He had early talk radio appeal, Fox appeal, but his nature, sway, or lack of, just doesn't translate well with general voting public.
And he looks way to young, I think people are hungry for a older President once again.

Why Ted Cruz will not win nomination or Presidency This guy cannot win for following reasons 1. He looks like a shady bankster, just has that shady Wall Street look about them. 2. Looks like a evil clown who happens to not be wearing their make up..  3. Seems like someone who'll say whatever they have to to obtain power and trust, in other words totally looks like a politician. 4. Just looks like a Shyster, and if encountered such on the streets, own personal instincts would tell you not to trust them. But he's not on the streets, he's running for Presidential office. He will not win, not do to any popular 'base' views he has, but rather do to his shyster persona. Like some guy you'd encounter working behind some dark circus tent trying to convince you to buy tickets to some odd show or ride.  Ted Cruz cannot and will not win cause there's just something 'off' about him that those not blinded by partisan politics can plainly see. And remember, you heard it here first.

Gov Bobby Jindal will never be President Governor Bobby Jindal will never ever win the nomination or become President of these United States. Nice man, good values, well spoken, but America is not ready for him yet. He's great on radio, a lot of these candidates do great on radio, talk radio...but on TV, and amongst none talk radio types, they don't translate well. America is still a very visual nation.. President Obama will be the last darker skinned President for a while, people have had enough of that. I know that sounds mean, but it's true. Voters want to get back to what's familiar to them. You heard it here first, he cannot, will not, win. But is a super nice decent man.

Marco Rubio is done and finished as a Presidential candidate cause he couldn't answer one question right on weekend talk shows When on CNN, a commentator asked him: 'Why are GOP candidates so quick to respond, condemn Donald Trump over his comments about John McCain, but were slow to do so when he made comments about illegal aliens?'What a set up trap question that anyone with brains, a heart, should of been able to answer.The answer should of been: 'The rest of GOP didn't condemn Donald Trump when he made comments about illegal aliens cause we agreed with him on that, but don't agree with him slamming POW's'That's all Rubio had to say, instead Rubio fell into trap and said... 'Urr we did, or I did condemn Donald Trumps comment on illegal aliens'. In other words Mark Rubio rather than making a distinction between the two issues, one being Senator McCain's POW hero status, and the other being massive illegal immigration, instead of Rubio making a distinction between those two separate issues, he fell into the 'I'm a Republican and sorry I didn't apologize to Mexicans and illegals, can I make it better now?'. Marco Rubio is done as a viable candidate now, he's way to soft, looks way to young, and has no fire in his belly. You heard it here first.

Ted Cruz shocked me today with insightful anti establishment speech he gave todayI was surprised by Teds insightful speech today on how 'They're all the same'...how once in D.C. all parties become this kind of generic sludge or blob. Controlled by Corporate interests and fed by lobbyist...almost like that movie Invasion of the body snatchers Politics in D.C. is like 'Invasion of the body snatchers', in that once up there they all seem to fall under a spell, their bodies are taken over by alien interests, and they cease being the people they were on the campaign trail. Ted Cruz pointed this out today within his own party, and I heard the speech, and was impressed, cause even though not sure he'll make President (Vice President maybe)...I was impressed by his speech. It showed me he's still capable of thinking, and not the 'Carnie Hall' character he sometimes comes off as being. I will start paying more attention to Ted Cruz over the next few months. And maybe I'll change my mind about him, we shall see.

If I ever was hired as a political consultant of any candidate, I'd dismiss 90% of staff right off the bat, cause they don't know what they're doing.
They're out of touch, and to proud, stiff, Ivy league to feel the pulse of what's really going on.

These candidates surround themselves with losers who don't know sh_t about nothing, never had to work for nothing in real world, and then wonder why their poll numbers are less than 5-3%.
But what do I know right...I guess they're in it just to raise campaign money I guess.
I'll continue to name off candidates who have no shot of winning, I'll do it for sport, sit back and watch as the people they have surrounded themselves with suck all the life out of their campaigns.

Ben Carson may as well drop out now also, save all the campaign fund money Dr Ben Carson may as well just drop out of the race now and save money...oops, wrong photo, my bag.  Dr Ben Carson may as well drop out of campaign right now, save all that time and energy, cause he as zero chance of getting parties nomination and about -10% of winning popular vote. Another candidate propped up, artificially propped up by the talk radio circuit, born of talk radio/Fox anger towards the President. Born out of desperation, born and invented out of desperation and guilt. 'See, we're not racist, see, cause look, we like Dr Ben Carson and he's err black just like the President..derr'Ye OK...amateurs. Dr Ben Carson was born out of desperation and guilt, pulled this poor man out the closet for nothing, got his hopes all built up for nothing. Decent human no doubt, next President, no way. Good day.
