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.

Thomas,

Since we have such a limited field to choose from, what is your counsel on who is worth voting for from the candidates available for President, Congress, State Legislatures, and Local Offices? To me a dissertation on that would be infinitely more productive than debating the various merits and dubious drawbacks of the Principled Conservative, Classic Conservative, and Neo-Conservative factions.

Donald Trump Tells N.R.A. Hillary Clinton Wants to Let Violent Criminals Go Free
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Donald J. Trump called on Friday for an end to gun-free zones in the United States and accused Hillary Clinton of seeking to let violent criminals out of prison, putting law-abiding citizens at risk, as he accepted the endorsement of the National Rifle Association at its annual convention.

Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said that the November election would be a referendum on the Second Amendment and asserted that Mrs. Clinton, his likely Democratic opponent, wanted to abolish the right to bear arms.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton is the most anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment candidate ever to run for office,” he said. “She wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take away your guns.”

Although Mrs. Clinton has called for tightening restrictions on guns, she has not called for overturning the Second Amendment.

Mr. Trump said in January that he wanted to end gun-free zones in schools. But, veering from his prepared remarks Friday afternoon at the N.R.A.’s convention in Louisville, he went further, suggesting that they should be done away with entirely.

“We’re getting rid of gun-free zones,” he said, arguing that more guns would mean less gun violence, as his audience cheered.

In a speech that was filled with red meat for conservatives, Mr. Trump denounced the Obama administration on several counts and struck some of his favorite themes, including his promise to build a wall along the border with Mexico and to tighten immigration laws. He also again urged Senator Bernie Sanders, Mrs. Clinton’s rival for the Democratic nomination, to embark on an independent bid.

Trump  family history - concise version. 
    *   Donald Trump's  grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Alsace 
(Kallstadt, Germany) which  throughout history has been alternately French and 
German. The Trumps are  German, originally speaking the same German dialect 
as the Amish of  Lancaster County, PA.

    *   He returned to  Germany to marry his childhood neighbor, Elizabeth  
Christ.   
    *   The newly  married Trumps resettled in the Borough of Queens NY    
    *   Freidrich was  establishing a Real Estate business in Queens when 
he died suddenly at age  49 (1918).   
    *   In 1920, at the  age of 15, Fred Trump (Freiderich's son and 
Donald's father), started a  business partnership with his widowed mother called 
Elizabeth Trump &  Son.   
    *   This business  was built upon the real estate holdings that his 
father, Frederich, had  amassed (worth about $500,000.00 in today's dollars). 
This is the original  "seed money" of the current Trump  Organization.   
    *   Elizabeth &  Fred remained close business partners her entire life 
(she died in  1966).   
    *   In 1936 Fred  Trump (age 31) married Mary Ann MacLeod (age 24) of 
Stoneaway  Scotland.

during  WWII.

"The  Donald's" career

generation.

the most popular votes  for the President of the United States out of a field 
of experienced  and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved 
this with less  money than any of his opponents. 
Keeping  in mind that 90% of start up businesses fail, Trump's record of 
enterprise is  nothing short of amazing.  
Donald  Trump has enjoyed success in at least 11 very different 
enterprises:  Professional football, Ice Skating rinks, Fragrance, Ice, Steaks, Wines,  
Model management, Airline, blenders, Men's wear, Bicycle races, world class 
beauty contests, and many others. In some of these, such as model 
management,  his firm has risen to the top of that particular  industry.

    *   And much, much,  more in real estate.   
    *   Trump  Entertainment, casinos and resorts was recently sold to Carl 
Ichan.   
    *   Donald Trump's  personal managing of the Wollman Ice Skating Rink 
project in the early  1980's is the quintessential case study for MBA 
students in Wharton,  Harvard, and other business schools. His performance there 
was  phenomenal.   
    *   Donald Trump's  privately held businesses have employed more than 
200,000  people.

with known mobsters -  and he stayed "clean" and alive.   
    *   Aside from his  personal investments, Donald Trump has never been a 
Wall Street  "player".
The  Political Trump: 
about  1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald  Reagan) 
1987  - 1999 - Republican 
1999  - 2001 - Reform Party (he supported Ross Perot) 
2001  - 2009 - Democrat 
2009  - 2011 - Republican 
2011  - 2012 - Independent 
2012  - Present - Republican 
Donald  Trump was openly supportive of Mitt Romney's candidacy. 
Donald  Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high  
regard. 
For  the most part, his political involvement has been for practical  
reasons. 
Donald  Trump does not appear to be held to political  ideology.  
Some  of my take aways: 
    *   Trump has an  extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much 
like Teddy Roosevelt  but more targeted to industry and enterprise.   
    *   Trump's  presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and  
communicative.   
    *   Trump will be a  very hard working President.   
    *   His interaction  with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells 
me that he thinks that  everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should  
be.   
    *   His  relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in 
tolerance for  him.   
    *   Trump is the  Babe Ruth of career achievements.    
    *   He is dumb like  a fox. When you think he just said something 
stupid - he didn't. It's just  that you were not his target audience.   
    *   Trump knows the  people - the folk.   
    *   His son, Donald  Jr. is right. Trump is a "Blue Collar  
Billionaire".   
    *   More than  anything, his TV show, The  Apprentice, was his passion. 
He wants all Americans to have  confidence (like he does) to venture.   
    *   Donald Trump is  attracted to and marries smart, high achieving  
women.   
    *   The highest  levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have 
many women - and they  will be bright and assertive.   
    *   Donald Trump's  children are very important to him. And it shows.

 

PS.   Yes, we know almost nothing about our current president with 2 terms in office.

Exactly how much do we really know about what Hillary has done that has not been sanitized?

 

 

[Thomas Vincent Coffey]

What Trump represents is infinitely more important than who he is. My suspicion is that the vast majority of citizens don't care about the who part as they preceive him as a transformational agent of change. Time will tell whether they are correct or not.

Another reflection.

Parliamentary systems have a mechanism called a vote of no confidence (as Merkel will soon experience). If we had such, I suspect the angst and frustration raging through the electorate would be far lower and Bush would never have made it past the Iraq War!!!

[M]

Yes Thomas, And, Obama would have been tossed in the first six months of his first term.

[kevin kiernan]

Gee is that it. LOL.. He is a man who likes a challenge... Making America great is certainly a challenge... My life had an empty feeling because I was part of the generation that ruined the best country ever...I feel like I got a chance for redemption with Trump...I`M IN...

[kevin kiernan]

[jack ludwig]

Kevin, I have to really give Trump a lot of credit on how he is conducting his campaign and message. He is hitting all the right buttons. The only problem I see so far he is not getting this message out to the people who need to hear it. This is a great message for those voters who have held these views for decades but the problem is that group of voters is getting smaller each year. Politics is a game of numbers so he has got to do something to change that equation around. Right now he is on the wrong side of the equation. And I continue to work as hard as I can, along with millions of others,  to convert every voter I can away from Trump.
