Is Donald Trump A Real Conservative?

Good Question ... and not just because it is happens to be the name of my Blog site.

It's a good question because many of the so-called Republican Hierarchy are bailing or threatening to bail from the Party if, as it appears, Trump wins their Party's Nomination.

And this traitorous talk is getting much louder following his many victories and delegate gains in Super Tuesday.

As an aside, and for those of you keeping score, my preferred candidate Marco Rubio is now history though he will certainly hold on for the Florida Primary on the 15th of this month.  His chances of winning there are slim to none.

Politics is a rough, dirty business.

Yesterday it was announced that outsider Dr. Ben Carson had decided to pack it in - in the face of Tuesday's results.  He should have pulled the plug sooner but hopefully a nice spot can be found for him should a Republican Administration come into being following November's Election.

As a further aside, is it not ironic that this has happened to the Party that so desperately needs support from both Blacks and Hispanics?

But back to Trump.

And speaking of Ironic - is it not outright bizarre that the same Republican Hierarchy, which now is turning on Trump, demanded at the beginning of the race that Trump sign a declaration promising to support the eventual winner if he himself was not successful?

And now they are doing exactly what they had initially feared Trump might do?

'Hypocrites' anyone?

Some of you may rightly point out at this point that I myself came to the conclusion in my most recent Blog that I could not support Trump...since I do not like negative politics, but neither would I vote for 'Sails Close To The Wind' Hillary.

But then again, I am not a top Republican Official nor even an American Citizen entitled to vote.

And unlike the Republican Pubahs I believe Trump has made a great contribution to the political process and do not for a minute believe the Republican Party will be worse off with a Trump candidacy.

He has given a voice to millions of Americans - Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike who have felt themselves ignored or taken for granted by the Political Establishment of all stripes.

More real issues are being discussed today and more people are getting involved in politics than ever before and it is all because of Donald John Trump.

If the Republicans play their cards right - their Party could well become the new, innovative and enlightened Party to lead the US into this relatively new Century.

So it makes me wonder what is really going on?  Could it be Politics in the United States has become all about Power - especially when it comes to Money?  Do you think the Super Pacs and the Billionaires are pumping large sums into the fray for the goodness of their health?

A populist Prime Minister of the late 50s and early 60s coined the phrase:  "everyone is against me except the people".

The Elites that try to take Trump down had better start realizing what they are truly up against or they will all be looking from the outside in.

So to answer my initial question:  Is Trump A Real Conservative?

Frankly, I don't know but perhaps it does not matter all that much when so many in authority who call themselves that - are anything but.

And for those of you who may be tiring about my writing so much about The Donald, you will be glad to hear that this is the last Blog I will do in regard to The Donald for the next while ... I promise.

Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton... Who is the Bigger Liar?

The World's Biggest Liar competition is held annually in Cumbria, England.

I have little doubt that if both Hillary and the Donald entered this year's competition the result would end in a draw.

But that's not all; they are both egotistical and narcissistic though I might be inclined to give Trump and slight edge over Ms. Clinton.

So why the interest?

It is beginning to look like this year's Presidential Race is going to come down to these two flawed individuals.  When I initially wrote about the two I always said that I would never vote for Hillary but if it came down to just the two of them - I would vote for Trump.

Mea Culpa.

I have since come to my senses realizing that even if I could, neither would get my vote.

Let's deal with Hillary first.  She has now bested her only Democratic opponent - Bernie Sanders.  Left-wing Bernie's challenge ended with his poor showing in Nevada and the deal with sealed with his even worse performance in South Carolina.

The Bernster is toast.

Unless dear Hillary heads off for the Big House .... before attaining the White House, she will be crowned the Democratic Nominee for President.

Boy does a run by VP Joe Biden start to look good.

It is not just her lying that turns the voter off; it is also that with Hillary, it is so evident it is all about her to the exclusion of everyone else.

Her administration would be 'more steady as she goes' than Trump's but for the US that means 4 more years of Obama like Government.

Now the Donald.

Simply stated, the guy is a bully of the first order. As they say, he has constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the mouth.  He has single-handedly disqualified himself from being elected to the highest office but the trouble is, his supporters sadly have not come to that obvious conclusion.

And it is not all the fault of his supporters.  They have been ignored and taken for granted by both the major parties for so long they are in no mood for rational thought - hence his continued popularity.

And similar to the fading Bernie, Trump's major rivals Cruz and Rubio are in big trouble. Nothing seems to adversely affect Trump's poll numbers and if those numbers hold for the upcoming Super Tuesday - as they likely will, they too will join Sanders on the trash bin of history.

The only real difference between Trump and Clinton is the fact that the Republican Establishment is frighten to death that he will get the nod to be their Presidential Candidate whereas the Democratic Boys are delighted to have Hillary win and not the Socialist.

The bottom-line here is that it is looking more and more like Clinton - Trump face-off come November and whichever one wins - the American Public loses ...Big Time.
