Do We Really Want Trump?

I haven’t really talked too much about the presidential debates or the candidates running for the nominations on either side as I try and concentrate on the here and now and reach out to the millennial generation to get them to understand the ramifications of what is taking place right before our very eyes.  But one cannot help but get caught up in the hoopla surrounding those vying for the presidential nomination on both sides of the aisle.

On the Republican side we have Trump who is a rabble rouser and is stirring things up speaking on issues we all want addressed, we have Ted Cruz who is the true Conservative of the bunch and has tried numerous cases before the Supreme Court and attended both Princeton and Harvard Law school, and Marco Rubio who many aren't quite sure what he stands for as he has had differing opinions on issues like immigration.

I have also spoke about Bernie Sanders quite a bit because I feel that many in the millennial generation are beginning to buy into his ridiculous ideals that would lead us down the road to a socialistic society turning this country into something that would be unrecognizable within just a few years. With promises like free college for all and free healthcare the millennial generation is buying into his socialist style promises not realizing that eventually the rich who Sanders wants to foot the bill will eventually run out of money!

What I haven’t delved into much is the whole Trump debate and whether or not he would make a good president.

While it's looking like Hillary Clinton is a lock for the Democrat nod for president, the Republican nomination is still up for grabs. We are now faced with the decision of whether or not we want to Trump who is looking more like a tyrant or Cruz who is an accomplished Conservative minded individual to represent us as our parties pick for president come 2016.

This divisiveness within the Republican party that is becoming more prevalent today is a direct result of the inaction of many of the Republicans we have elected into both the House and the Senate! We have seen much infighting within the Republican party over the last decade or so between the establishment and the tea party, the tea party that has really gained momentum over the past few years.  As more and more people are beginning to finally wake up to what's going on, we are witnessing a quick rise in conservative minded individuals who are taking more of an interest in the Constitution.  The rise in the tea party and the witnessing of the rapid decline of the state of this country led me to gain more of an interest in the Constitution and motivated me to try and become more involved and do what I can to affect change.  I have been motivated to get the word out and speak to truth the constitutional principles this country was founded upon, that being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.


This further exemplifies the importance of the upcoming election where we are faced with a decision that could not only affect the upcoming 4 to 8 years but could have lasting ramifications that may be felt for generations! We are seeing Trump gain in popularity as he is playing off of the anger and emotions of the American people. As I previously explained, the American people are fed up with the inaction of many of our representatives in both the House and the Senate and this has led to the blind following that Trump is receiving! A following that eerily resembles what we witnessed with Obama in 2008 and we all know how that turned out!

As time has gone by we have seen many of the conservatives become angry at the direction in which this country is headed.  We have seen anger on social media, in the news, at protests, and each step along the way we have seen the radical left sit there at push the narrative about the “right wing nuts” as they like to refer to many of us as.  And then along comes an individual who truly said what we all conservatives wanted to hear.  This individual spoke about building a wall along our border with Mexico that we have wanted since the Reagan administration, this individual played on the fear and trepidation against muslims after various terror attacks, this person leverage any and every news incident of the day to his advantage to play on the heartstrings of the american people to get them riled up and motivated to affect change.  

While this all sounds dandy, but one must take a step back and truly ask themselves is the decision I'm making to back whoever it is one decides to back for the presidential bid a rational one. Am I acting based on emotion, or am I acting based I  sound reasoning and logic? Am I acting based upon my anger and frustration over the state of this country which is a direct result of the wussy Republicans in Congress who refuse to stand up for what it is we elected them to do? Please ask yourself these questions and do your due diligence before you make your decision as the ramifications of the decision you make could be felt for a long time to come!

Why Ted Cruz Will Win the Iowa Caucus, and Trump Will Come in Third

By Matthew Rix - Patriot Insight


After the Iowa Caucus is in the books and Trump comes in third place, I know the first thought that will come in the mind of Trump supporters is that there was some establishment corruption to allow Ted Cruz to win.

I'm going to beat the pundits to the punch on their "excellent analysis" the morning after the Iowa Caucus.



The reason Trump will come in third place in Iowa is for the following reasons:

1. Ted Cruz has a very impressive ground game in Iowa. Every county has excited volunteers that are just waiting to drive grandma to the local caucus. Rubio has a decent ground game, but he needs to show up more in Iowa. Word from several campaigns in Iowa is that Trump has little to no ground game in Iowa. He also isn't doing "retail politics" that for some reason the people of Iowa believe they are entitled to.

2. A caucus is very different from a Primary.

In a primary you go into a voting boot, vote for your guy, and head home to watch the results. A caucus is done in churches, living rooms, etc.

The way a caucus runs is that you take a real live vote, people vote in front of their friends, and then they tally up the votes. After they have announced the results from that caucus they then have time to start picking people off to come side with their candidate. This is where the Cruz ground game will come in to play big time. Your pastor, neighbor, or friend will start to convince you on all the reasons their guy is better than your guy. Then they take another vote.

3. The biggest Trump downfall is Trump supporters.

Trump supporters have emotions, but not much else. The over the top insulting everyone that doesn't agree with you is fine on Twitter (for some), but terrible in person. They will not get a huge net gain during the deliberation time because to the rest of the country Trump supporters are nuts. Sorry but it's the truth. Cruz & Rubio supporters will be able to effectively communicate with Iowans to sway people to their side.

4. Polls

Trump supporters act like polls have never been wrong.

2012 Romney was suppose to win by 4-6 points.

2014 GOP was only going to pick up 3-5 seats, they picked up almost 10. Polls didn't see Illinois going Republican at all.

2015 Louisiana governor was going to be a republican. It's a democrat. Kentucky was suppose to be a democrat, it's a republican.

Most polls are complete crap. Here is why:

Most polls are conducted by automation. Someone calls you and an automated voice tells you to press 1 for Democrat, 2 for Republican. There is no telling if these people have intentions in voting or even voting in the caucus they claim to be voting in.

Secondly, Polling companies call landlines. Who has a landline? Rural areas, and older people. Younger people are not lining up to vote for Trump, so they're not even in the mix for polling. Cruz & Rubio supporters are younger, more tech savvy, more metropolitan and less likely to have a landline.

Third, online polls are useless. Most people vote for their candidate more than once on an online poll, and unless this is the democrats of the 1960's that will not work for the Iowa caucus.

4. Trump is an entertainer.

It's fun to watch Trump entertain us, but most of us do not want that for four years, or have his finger on the button.

So as the holidays wrap up and football comes to a close, Iowa will start to pay a lot more attention to what is about to happen. That is when they will start talking to their neighbors, researching on the candidates, looking into the candidates history (not a plus for Trump), and will make their final decision.

That's why Ted Cruz will win the Iowa Caucus by 4-8 points, Marco Rubio will come in second, Trump will come in a close third, and Ben Carson will be in a distant fourth place.

It won't be a conspiracy by the establishment to let Ted Cruz win, the establishment hates Ted Cruz more than they do Trump.

Trump, who wrote the art of the deal, just won't be able to close the Iowa deal.

Cruzzin Past Trump in Iowa

Big news this Sunday morning as it looks like Trump is not as infallible as many think he is.  Thus far I have been looking at the GOP field and giving everyone an equal shot in my eyes to win the Republican nomination for the president.  Too many people are buying into what is being fed to them via the mainstream media and are getting caught up in the hoopla that same media has created as they hang on every word Trump says.  I'll be the first to say that when Trump appears to screw up, somehow it only strengthens his stance in the polls and that just adds to is already over inflated ego.

Just a few examples of Trumps debacles...



In this particular instance we see Donald Trump literally mock handicapped individuals as he speaks about the Muslims that were celebrating in Jersey City, NJ shortly after the 9/11 attacks.  While his claim was later confirmed as video had surfaced showing the individuals indeed were celebrating, the problem is how Trump went about explaining this incident.  Do we really want an individual like this, who possesses such lack of couth, as the leader of the free world and one who will represent us around the world.




Again we see Trump on his high horse and this time he is literally mocking and belittling a fellow candidate.  In this instance it is about respect, or lack thereof, from an individual who has his sights on the highest office in this country.  When I look for someone who I would back as president of the United States, I look for someone who commands respect; not someone who tosses around names and acts like a child when he doesn't get his way.  After all we are now seeing Trump threatening that he may actually run third party if the GOP doesn't start treating him fairly.  On what grounds can he speak about fair behavior when we see him mock handicapped people and belittle nearly every single individual vying for the GOP nomination to become president?

Along Comes Ted Cruz

While everyone was pandering over Trump and his recent statements about how he intends to keep Islamic terrorists from entering the United States, Texas Senator Ted Cruz was busy running a campaign rooted in fundamental principles on how he intends to implement his policies.



According to Brietbart,

Cruz has 31 percent support, followed by Donald Trump with 21 percent. Since October, Cruz has gained 21 points while Trump has gained just 2 percent. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is in 3rd place with 13 percent, down 15 points since October. Florida
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% is 4th with 10 percent support, essentially unchanged since the last poll.

Are people beginning to wake up to Trump and his antics?  This aforementioned pole is a fantastic indicator that people are fed up with Trump and his whining that if he isn’t treated fairly he’ll leave the party.  While that may strike fear into many traditional Republican voters, I feel that the core of the Republican party today stands on clear morals and values and they are able to see right through everything Trump says and understand there isn’t really any substance behind the rhetoric.

That substance that Trump lacks Cruz makes up for and a prime example of this is explained here,

There were two other campaign developments this week, however, that perhaps go even further to explain the strong support coalescing behind Cruz. On Thursday, Cruz gave a speech focused on foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation. Echoing Ronald Reagan and Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Cruz outlined a robust strategy to combat radical terrorism without miring the US in overseas conflicts.

This is what we need, in a candidate who can literally back up what he says with methods and policies depicting how he will carry out his plan. Ted Cruz understands the Constitution and the responsibility of holding the highest office in the land.  He doesn’t just speak on platitudes, he speaks about the issuing we face as a nation and provides detailed outlines of how he intends to address those issues .  The next time you see Trump on CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, Fox News, or anywhere else spouting off trying to keep himself in the limelight think to yourself, does this man really have a plan for this country or is he all talk?

Tweeting the GOP Presidential Debate

How is it that anyone who is a true conservative could cheer for an individual like Paul Ryan?  From what we know Paul Ryan is a go along to get along kind of politician who will do nothing different than what we had with John Boehner.


We need politicians that will reduce the size of government and eliminate the regulations placed on small businesses. By ridding the our bloated government of over bearing regulations small businesses will have more assets to put into hiring more workers.

If we could get government out of healthcare we could leave it to localities to institute exchanges.  Get government out of healthcare and you let the free market take over which will inherently drive down costs through competition.

With quantitative easing and government manipulating interest rates we are seeing an unbalanced stock market that continues to go up and up.  Anyone with an ounce of common sense realizes that it can't continue to go up like this and eventually we will see the market correct itself.  I just hope that when it does we can recover from the possible repercussions.

We are involved in the International Monetary Fund which helps to aide in the elimination of poverty and economic cooperation around the world.  How about we stop attempting to be part of the world economic community as it continues to go to shit and concentrate on our own economic issues.

Hey Jeb it's quite obvious if we don't have growth the deficit will grow... The question is what are you going to do to help create an environment where capitalism can grow which will inevitably drive down the deficit.

Why is it that so many politicians fail to understand that the only way to truly reduce the unemployment rate is to create an environment in which small businesses can thrive by reducing govt regulations.

We see attacks left and right going after Dr. Ben Carson yet Trump gets praise and adoration from both the left and right and all aspects of media.  Ask yourself why is the media refusing to truly vet Donald Trump and ask him the tough questions!

 We all know damn well if American citizens decided they weren't going to pay their taxes we would all be thrown in jail.  Don't sit here and tell me the federal government with all of the technology we have today cannot find and deport every single illegal alien in this country.  Just look at Mexico's immigration policy! They are more strict with immigration than we are while they lecture us on how we are to treat the dead beat individuals they pawn off on us!

What we are witnessing at Missouri University is a prime example of what our institutions of higher learning have become.  Kids go to college and are coddled, they are sheltered from any type of dissenting opinion to avoid being "offended".


It's about time we see possible presidential candidates speak about the free market.  We need a government that understands the free market and the significance of keeping government from intervening in it!




The liberal progressive NEVER speaks about the family as they feel it is the governments role to take care of our children and coddle them from the cradle to the grave.  When government can teach the youth to rely on them for sustenance they have complete control over the masses!

Holding Illegal Immigrant Children for Ransom

The border crisis has been taking place now for months and the general public and news media have been well aware of the situation for roughly two months. While this is the case,  we have yet to see any real resolution or even concrete ideas of how to resolve the problem.  It would appear there is something more evil,  something more nefarious going on here and with the likes of Obama and Reid in charge those accusations aren't all that far fetched!

These accusations were brought to the forefront as Senator Ted Cruz sat down to speak with Chris Wallace, 

“I’ll tell you who is holding these kids ransom: It’s Harry Reid and the president,” Cruz said. “Because their view is: Don’t do anything to fix the problem.”



This makes perfect sense considering the border crisis has since become a humanitarian crisis as we are seeing children being treated like rats. These children are tossed into cages and carted around the country like pawns in some sort of game. The president even visited Texas on a recent fund raising trip and simply could not find the time to go anywhere near the border to survey the crisis he is in large part responsible for.


At this point one can only hope that the American people are beginning to wake up to what is going on as we are seeing these illegal immigrants to being transported all over the country. They are being placed in cities and towns without first notifying residents. In many instances even local govt and local law enforcement aren't even aware these illegals are being housed in their town. We can only hope people wake up before it's too late!!

Leading the Charge Against Common Core

Since the inception of common core we have seen many states, representative, and senators begin to take a stand against the common core teaching methods that are being pushed on our children throughout the country.  Now that we are truly seeing what these methods consist of, it is becoming quite clear that these standards are driven by the thirst for money from a variety of companies who have a large stake in the testing and programs implemented by common core.

Among the numerous Senators and Representatives that are beginning to take a stand against common core, there is one that I feel is leading the charge and really helping people to understand why this government initiative is such a threat to our children’s future.



Senator Grassley of Iowa is laying the groundwork for us to follow as he is spearheading an effort to take the educational decision making out of the hands of the federal government and place it back with the states and local municipalities where it belongs. He puts to rest the myth that common core was initially developed as a “state led” initiative and explains how it was really developed by the “National Governors Association” which is a private organization funded by Bill and Melinda Gates.

Senator Grassley isn't leading the charge against common core alone. He has a number of other prominent Senators including Tom Coburn, Ted Cruz, Deb Fischer, James Inhofe, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Pat Roberts, and Jeff Sessions who have all signed onto Senator Grassley’s letter asking the chair and ranking member of the subcommittee overseeing the U.S. Department of Education’s funding of Common Core to require that any funds appropriated to the Department of Education not be used to develop, implement, or evaluate state-level education standards, or to award grants or contracts for development, implementation, or evaluation of state level education standards.
