What is the Message of Trump's Rise in the GOP?

If you listen to the Morning Joe television hosts we all underestimated Donald Trump as a Presidential candidate.  I vehemently disagree with them.  In actuality we overestimated the brains of the Republican voters.  Some political pundits get offended when it is said that Trump supporters are stupid. Well as a fellow voter I can say that I do believe Trump supporters are stupid and racist. The stupid comes from falling for the Trump okedoke without question. Trump has filled his supporters' heads with a laundry list of things he will do for them that he has no ability to get done given the structure of our government.  I say they are racist because they are supporting Trump's tagline of "Making American Great Again and Taking Our Country Back."  These phrases are dog whistles and Black people like me hear them loud and clear. I don't believe for one second that Trump supporters are just angry with Washington DC.  They are also angry at the Black P...

Bernie Doesn't Own the Progressive Label

After hearing Bernie Sanders and his supporters try to eliminate Hillary Clinton from calling herself a Progressive I felt the need to weigh in on this discussion.  I vehemently oppose Bernie deciding that he can define who is a Progressive. I classify myself as a Progressive and a moderate which Bernie has decided you can't be.  Well in my mind along with millions of others you can be.  Bernie's hard line leaves not just people like me as non-progressive but also President Obama.  This is a huge problem for Bernie Sanders and he appears to be quite tone deaf to it.  Those of us who are staunch supporters of President Obama don't appreciate Bernie's attitude regarding the Obama legacy and that is why he will struggle to increase his support among African American voters. Bernie and his supporters keep talking about a revolution and I challenge them all to own it that they let President Obama down by sitting at home during the midterm elections in both 2010 a...

Marco Rubio for President?-NOT!

Listening to Marco Rubio give his speech last night after coming in 3rd in the Iowa Caucuses was like being in the Twilight zone.  He was giving a victory lap speech all the while blowing the GOP Dog Whistle with the racist tag line "We're Going to Take Our Country Back!" Marco Rubio is touting himself as the only Republican candidate that can bring the party together and beat Hillary Clinton.  Frankly, Marco Rubio has been a do nothing US Senator who decided he didn't like being in the Senate once he cut and run on the immigration bill. Marco Rubio has been described as the GOP Barack Obama but that is an insult to PRESIDENT OBAMA. Marco Rubio is no where near as smart as President Obama and he is a dangerous hawk who I expect will employ all of the military tactics of Dick Cheney and his ilk. Marco Rubio may be able to unify the establishment and money wings of the Republican party but his views on social issues make him un-electable by the majority.  He is pl...

Turn About is Fair Play Senator Cruz

I'm loving it that Ted (Raphael) Cruz is having to answer about  whether or not he is a natural born citizen.  White Republicans just loved the whole birther nonsense about President Obama.  Well now I love it that one of their own is all caught up in the drama.  Donald Trump is fanning the flames but is acting like he isn't. Ted Cruz is now going to have to answer the questions over and over about whether he is a real Amercan.  I want to see his papers and his Mother's papers regarding his birth and whether she was an American when he was born.  The first black President can't be made to provide his birth certificate and the white Cuban be let off the hook.  Yeah I said it.

Trump Supporters Don't Get It

It just amazes me when I see these people at these Trump rallies. They are just cheering and for what I don't know.  Trump has said nothing except he is going to build a wall. Trump says nothing that he can actually do.  Can't wait for this clown to go back to his NY apartment.
