2016

To tell you the truth, I am very unexcited about the candidates and potential candidates for 2016. There is not even one I can enjoy hating. They are all so bland.

These are dangerous elections. Are we going to settle???? The Democrats still seem to be settling on Hillary. And as I have mentioned before this is dangerous for them.

I saw one article that stated there are 18 potential Republican candidates. And the same article pretty much said there were 3 front runners and that Rand Paul was the dark horse as the fourth possibility. One of the front runners mentioned was Marco Rubio. Still of the whole bunch no one excited me or even came close to making my blood become temperate, much less boil.

Another piece to this puzzle that is building is the Hispanic vote and that some Republicans are backing Rubio hoping to “court” their votes. If the Republicans would wake up and become an inclusive conservative party, they wouldn’t have to “court” this vote. The term Hispanic encompasses more than most non-Hispanics realize and most have conservative values and principles. If the Republicans would quit being idiots they would actually have a whole new base to work with and for. The opposite side of the coin is the Democrats cannot just expect the Hispanic vote to fall to them just because of the immigration issue. They are lucky right now because most hard core Republicans won’t give much on this issue so by default Hispanics are voting Democrat. Truth be told though, their values line up more with a conservative view point (not necessarily Republican view point). Something the Democrats need to be more cautious and aware about.

Back to Rubio: I read an article today and the link is below. And before some of you go oh it’s a fox news article it is not worth reading; you are exactly who needs to read this article. First of all, it is well written, second it makes a strong case of Rubio’s growing chances. The author is stepping out and saying Rubio will get the nomination. I am not saying that now, but his points present a strong case as to why he might win.

Hillary vs Rubio is not the shoe in the Democrats may think it is. For me though, neither excite me and it worries me that we are not moving forward as a country. Rubio will be used by the Republicans and they won’t change and Hillary is complete validation the Democrats do not have a damn new thing to offer.
