Trump will clean house

[kevin kiernan]

Crooked politicians must be held accountable for the crimes they have done. Trump is the only one who will do it. To elect a POTUS who will not prioritize fixing our criminal political system will not be good enough for me.We will not get another one like Trump ,who will bitch slap the evil out of Washington politics..No one can deny that Trump is crazy enough to do it. But he needs us to want it fixed. He can not stand alone..This is that time in history. The time that many have hoped. Turn your back on this opportunity,and we are done. THAT IS THE TRUTH OF IT.

Kevin,

The Senate is the body that approves or denies the Presidents choice for a SCOTUS Justice and that makes the Congressional elections even more critical than the Presidential. Say Hillary got in, wouldn't you want a Senate that would not confirm hard left appointments to the Supreme Court? Think what would happen if Hillary got in and the Democrats got a Super majority in Congress or even voting a majority in the Senate. Those are the reasons the other elections are so darn critical at this juncture. We as Loyal Americans who believe in rule by Constitutional Law must do everything in our power to get as many Democrats out of Congress and at the same time keep Hillary, or Bernie, or even Biden if it comes to that out of the White House. Take a lesson from Lincoln who said a House divided will fall in one of his speches. The Conservatives and everyone else but the Progressive Liberals are about as divided as they can get. That needs to be corrected too.

M it takes 60 senate votes to stop a filibuster on a nominee and only a majority to get confirmed. If Hillary wins the election there will not be enough republican senators left to stop a super majority. The only possible way to save the republican senate seats is to win the wh, without having the winning team at the top of the ticket it is nearly impossible for the lower tere candidates to win.

Jack,

You say it's almost impossible for the lower tier to win if their party is not in the top spot. Am I correct in that assessment of what you have said?

If that is so, how do you explain the 2010 election where the Republicans took over the majority of the House with Obama as President, and how the Republicans took over the majority of the Senatein 2012, and kept it in 2014 with Obama as President.

Those three elections belie your assumption about who will win in 2016. That brings us right back to my belief that we must focus not on who is to become President, but we must put as much and possibly even more focus on the OTHER ELECTIONS for CONGRESS, STATE LEGISLATURES, and LOCAL OFFICES. We need to elect the strongest Conservative leaning and Constitution obeying Candidates elected in those offices from the Candidates we have available to vote for those offices. That will act as the only buffer we have against a Socialist/Democrat Super Majority despite who becomes President. I still say we must do everything possible to make sure Hillary or Bernie or even Biden should it come to that be prevented from becoming President.

Besides that there is the tally of 12 million Democrats who voted in the Republican Primaries to screw them up once again. Source; http://www.redstate.com/diary/creinstein/2016/06/25/12-million-demo...; and voting for the perceived weakest candidate as determined by the Democratic Establishment to insure their Democratic candidate would face a lesser challenge in the main election. To me that is dirty corrupt underhanded politics typical of the Democratic/Socialist Party who's presumed headliner is Hilary!

[jack ludwig]

Kevin, you are hanging your hat on a dream. If there was the slightest chance of Hillary being indited she would not be running for president and Obama for sure would be the first to keep her from running. If she was going to be indited it would have happened by now. The fbi have more than enough time to examine all the facts to determine if a law has been broken. I have not seen a moment of worry coming form the Hillary campaign.

[kevin kiernan]

Jack, You are obviously of the thinking that Hillary is not protected. You do not see the crime in politics. If Trump wins he has said he will open up an independent investigation on her. She is guilty as sin. An open independent investigation will prove that. In fact Trump will flip Washington on it`s head. And expose people tied to the establishment of the political crime families. Including the paid for media of the bilderbergs. All the Rats are scurrying around covering up their crap like a cat on a tin roof. 

[jack ludwig]

there is nothing a Trump president can do about opening up investigations. The FBI is an investigative body and if they can't come up with charges either will a congressional investigation or a special investigative authority. Republicans have been claiming such a threat for decades. We have had dozens of investigations and nothing has ever come out of the investigation that changed anything. If she is guilty of a crime an indictment would already be served. 

[kevin kiernan]

So you are saying A  POTUS can not call for an independent investigation?    LOL

[jack ludwig]

no I am not saying that kevin, I am saying the president can call for an investigation all he wants but he can't charge a person without factual evidence.

[M]

Jack,

You say there is no evidence to prefer charges. The fact that she has not been indited yet, may lie in the Administrations control over the Justice Departments head who controls the FBI.   

Read these articles and you will see more than enough Circumstantial Evidence to justify either of those governmental bodies to launch a, independent continuing investigation at either the Presidents or Congresses request. The double jeapordy rule only comes into play when there has been a Trial with a verdict. ;

In case those don't convince you there is enough evidence, read this on what the State Department Inspector Generals probe found about Hillary;

[jack ludwig]

these are all speculative reports that do not have all the facts. Only the FBI has the facts and if there was a criminal act they would indict.  

[kevin kiernan]

I have a suggestion for the choice of music played at Trump Rally when Hillary gets  indicted ....

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

Agreed this election is pivotal yet I have no interest in the Congressional component. Despite the campaign claims made by these schmucks, once they get to DC, the establishment owns their soul which they happily surrender.

Ask yourself this. How did a predatory homosexual such as Hasert acquire the multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to buy the silence of his victims for decades????? These frauds and hustlers are on the take from the moment their car stops at the Capital Building. Believing otherwise is delusional. Rather, I have another vision derivative of a Parliamentary System.

Let POTUS announce that there will be no Cabinet appointments subject to Congressional approval and oversight. Instead, all the portfolios in the Executive Branch will be held by the Office of the Presidency and manned by his unnamed advisors.

This freezes Congress out, removing their leverage; a very good thing The Civil Service, not subject to Congressional subpoena, would manage these agencies and departments. All prior political appointees would be terminated immediately and denied any further access, forcibly if necessary. Any legislation contravening such action would be both vetoed and ignored. What would Congress do other than bitch, moan and pee in their pants??? Who cares?

Would political life go on? You bet, but far differently from the present. A fantasy you insist. Such a practice of governance is not uncommon in Asia and Europe from which we could learn a thing or two.
