Trump VP -- Scott Brown?


Click here for related story [The Hill]

On reflection, we think this would be a good choice for Trump and for America, and ties to Trump;s anti-Establishment agenda.  Brown is highly visible, physically and intellectually attractive and will appeal to the general public, and especially to women voters.

He's been vetted in several elections and has no visible skeletons in the closet, and the GOP leadership hates his guts [we're sure he returns the sentiment].  Brown is certainly not part of, and, worse, has challenged the GOP establishment when he was elected to the US Senate in a landslide campaign victory over the GOP's favorite [Jack Robinson] by a margin of 89 - 11 per cent; he then surprisingly defeated heavily favored Democrat [Attorney General Coakley].

Brown was the first Republican in 37 years to be elected to the US Senate from Massachusetts; even after President Obama flew in to endorse his opponent.  Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker   commented that "... Brown's political positions did not fall neatly into Party lines", but that he was "... mainstream in a nation that defines itself as mostly Conservative."

The GOP saw him early on as an anti-Establishment Tea Party threat and a potential leader for the Tea Party Conservatives in the Senate -- a resistance they could not tolerate, essentially because he was willing to work across Party lines to pass positive legislation.  Better to elect a Democrat than an Independent/Tea Party Republican.


It was the GOP who worked hand-in-glove to defeat his reelection, backing Elizabeth  Faucahauntus] Warren, and again in his later NH run for the Senate. The RNC pulled out all the stops, and was willing to risk giving the majority again to the Democrats to defeat Brown and other independent-minded senators.

Later, Brown moved his residency to New Hampshire, which was dominated by the GOP; Brown's candidacy was undermined at every step by the GOP which preferred a weak Democrat to an independent Tea Party senator.  He lost by three percentage points.

[The GOP operated in similar fashion in 2010 in Nevada to reelect Harry Reid and defeat a troublesome Conservative candidate who would not bow to their demands.]

Brown served in the National Guard for 35 years, with a brief stint in Afghanistan, so he can speak to Military issues, and likely can work for the improvement of the Military, and especially for Vets. The Boston Globe noted Brown had "carved out a niche as a leading advocate for Veterans"; Richard Tissi, the state Senate Republican Minority Leader called Brown the "...acknowledged expert on Veterans' issues"; state Senator Jack Heart, from Boston, advised Brown is "...comprehensive in his approach on Veterans' issues and has done a very good job on their behalf." As Vice President of the US, Brown could be a major force in cleaning up the corruption and graft in the Veterans Administration.



We recall that Reagan was persuaded to select George H.W. Bush, a fairly Milquetoast politician, a partner who brought little to the table other than tacit support from Texas and New England, plus Bush's linkage to the CIA -- a link which later led to the Iran-Contra debacle when Bush assured Reagan it was all OK and there was no risk of blow-back.

Bush would later lose to Clinton when he attempted to run what should have been a simple and easy reelection bid against scandal-ridden Bill Clinton -- but lost heavily due to his inability to identify with Mainstream America. Clinton's words, still valid in this election, ring true:

"It's the ECONOMY stupid!"

Famous Presidential Lies Contest




by:  To The Point News


LBJ:

None of our boys will die on foreign soil.

Nixon:

I am not a crook

GHW Bush:

Read my lips - No New Taxes

Clinton:

I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski

GW Bush:

Iraq has weapons of mass destruction
[In fact, Iraq had, and used chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, and was
 working on a nuclear weapon.]

Obama:

I will have the most transparent administration in history.

The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.

I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.

The IRS is not targeting anyone.

It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.

I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict 
and cynicism".


You didn't build that!

I will restore trust in Government.


The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.

The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands 
on my desk

It's not my red line - it is the world's red line.

Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.

We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and 
auto companies, with interest.

I am not spying on American citizens.

ObamaCare will be good for America.

You can keep your family doctor.

Premiums will be lowered by $2500.

If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan.

It's just like shopping at Amazon.


I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to
 Mexican drug cartels.

I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups.

I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi.


I have never known my uncle from Kenya who is in  the 
country illegally and that wasarrested and told to leave the 
country over 20 years ago.

And, I have never lived with that uncle. 
[He finally admitted (12-05-2013) that he DID know his 
uncle and that he DID live with him.]



If elected I promise not to renew the Patriot Act.

If elected I will end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan within the 1st 9 months of my term.

I will close Guantanamo within the first 6 months of my term.

I will bridge the gap between black and white and between America and other countries.

And the biggest one of all:


"
I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend

  the Constitution of the United States of America."


---- No contest; he only lies when he moves his lips. ----

Trump - Will Pols Kill Him?


A Guest Post reportedly by William J Bennett
However, we have been advised that Bennett now denies having written this piece.
Nonetheless, we endorse the content from the anonymous author, and note
that we could not have phrased the analysis better ourselves.

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency

They will kill him before they let him be president.
It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the
shutting up of Trump.  Don't be surprised if Trump has an accident.

Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another.

It's one for all and all for one. It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We're the patsies.

But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald.

It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won't change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations - like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil.

Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama, or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations. These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone

There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help. That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually tried to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens?

Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed.

Second, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed.
Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything. Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account.

The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They survey everything.

Third, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.

Fourth , why rock the boat?
After defeat or retirement, if you're a good old boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump.

Remember:
Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.

Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.

He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.



Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick.

Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.

Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

 Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump's election would be a nightmare.

Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The jig is up. The goose is cooked.

Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison.
Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.
Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.

Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That's why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

[Editorial Note:  We are reminded of Reagan's election in spite of the GOP's desperate measures to prevent his nomination and then his election over the GOP's "Chosen One" [George HW Bush] - as unelectable as Jeb Bush is today.  Americans saw hope and recovery with Reagan, while the political Parties saw him as endangering the Good Ol Boy Network.  Within a few months of his election, there was a bewildering assassination attempt on Reagan, in which the Secret Service violated every security tenet of Presidential protection.  

In essence, they had him walk, in the open, from the entrance of the Hilton hotel to the street, where, inexplicably, a "mentally deranged" young man, armed with a .22 caliber pistol -- loaded with armor piercing rounds, just happened to be standing in wait - with no notice having been taken of him by Secret Service agents.  

Officially, he fired a series of shots at Reagan -- who was wearing a bullet-proof vest --with one round penetrating under Reagan's left arm -- reportedly a "ricochet" off the door of the Limo [reminiscent of the "magic bullet" that wounded Kennedy's companions in his limo.  Oddly, a pistol appeared near the head of the wounded James Brady.   


Some believe that a Secret Service agent fired the shot that wounded the President, and that Hinkley was merely a patsy, like Oswald in JFK's assassination.  

Even more oddly, the bullet purportedly recovered from Reagan was not an armor-piercing round, but a damaged lead slug [it made for great showmanship though].


-- But, that's another story to unravel.]
