Trump is NOT the problem...

Let me get this out of the way; I am not a huge Trump fan. He is not my first choice. He is not my second or even third choice. He might be a slightly better choice than your average Democratic politician. That said...

Trump is NOT the problem. He is just the most recent symptom of what ails the GOP. The Tea Party was the largest prior symptom and instead of addressing that group's very legitimate concerns about what had happened to the GOP and what its' "management" was doing, the GOP decided to double-down and do all that they could to marginalize and vilify that group and its concerns and goals.

The response to that willful disregard to legitimate concerns is what has enabled Trump to be. To further demonstrate how out of touch and how counter to the principles of the GOP the current members are, we have this latest of dust-ups.

Sanders supporters crashed a Trump event and cause such a ruckus that Trump decides to cancel. This is lauded by the left and right as a good thing. That a bunch of thugs stomp over someone's first amendment rights, stifle his right to speak, prevent the peaceable assembly of his supporters and cause his legal event to be cancelled. That this is labeled a "good thing" by both the left and the right AND Trump is further blamed for it a) is an appalling shame, b) runs counter to conservative principles, and c) shows how unfit ANY of the remaining GOP candidates are to lead the party.

I fully expect this sort of childish behavior from Democrats. They have time and again shown that they support free speech only when it is their speech. Anyone that has an alternate view can go pound sand. Their support for constitutional rights is tissue paper thin. I did NOT expect this sort of behavior from the right. WE all should stand up for ANYONE's right to say what they wish, whether you approve of what they are saying or NOT. Non negotiable! You either support the people's rights as granted by our creator or you don't. The GOP candidates SHOULD have rallied behind Trump and stood shoulder to shoulder with him in support if his and everyone's right to be heard.

The crybullies can not and should not ever win! The only acceptable answer to ideas or speech you do not support is more speech. Not shouting down and shutting up your opponents.

I am extremely disappointed in all of the GOP and especially the candidates for not standing up for what are supposed to be their core principles.

Business don't create jobs!

Hillary Clinton let another of her personal truths slip out. That "business don't create jobs". Hillary has gone from school, into the law, into government. To her, government is the source of all. Individuals count for nothing, can achieve nothing, can accomplish nothing without the helping hand of government.

Hillary and her handlers are trying to back peddle on this and are claiming that she "miss-spoke". That is not the case. If you recall, Hillary is also the "it takes a village" to raise a child. Again, individuals can do NOTHING without the helping hand of government. She truly believes this and she also believes that she is the right person to be in control of that government.

Hillary believes this is her turn to be President. She was cheated out of it when Obama ran and won. Now it really, really is her turn and she wants it. Imagine a Hillary Presidency. All of the nanny state intrusion of the Obama administration, all of the lies of the Clinton (and Obama) administration and all of the conniving of the Clinton administration back with a vengeance! No slight will be too small to ignore. No opposition to small to crush. You think the IRS is weaponized now, these guys are pikers compared to what Hillary would do.

Our only hope (and it is a small one) is that the GOP pulls their heads out of their butts long enough to hold up a true fiscal conservative with a Constitutional federal government outlook to run. Anything less is just Dem-light and too many people will cry "enough" and let Rome burn just to get it over with quicker.
