Here is a novel idea

And I am trying to figure out why I haven’t heard this in mass.

We have all heard the stories about the Republicans wanting to join in the Democrat primairies to create chaos.

Uh, why not vote in the Republican primary and vote for Bill Weld.

If you do not like Trump and you are an independent, Democrat who is going to vote for whoever the nominee is in the general election or a Republican tired of Trump; go out and vote in the Republican primary in your state. I am not endorsing William Weld. I am suggesting you vote for him in the Republican primary to tell the rest of the Republicans Donald Trump doesn’t represent everyone either in the full Republican Party or Nationally. Nor does this mean a shift in my belief we need new parties. We do, this is just a stop gap measure to keep people honest.

Chaos is so much fun.  And just as important pass it on. You can complain or you can do something. Guess which one will make you feel better.  

It is important you pass it on.It is a bit too late to create a brand new conservative party to pick up all the disenfranchised Republicans and other true conservatives for this election. Someday and hopefully soon rational people will rejoin the political narrative in this country.

And not stopping the Russians or any other country from interfering in our elections is tantamount to treason. Think about it.

Cheers

Continuing the madness on your average Tuesday

Well, what to say, President Trump has crowned himself again, The Republican National Convention is working hard to disenfranchise Republicans and they are so far up where no family man can mention they do not even realize they have been disenfranchised. Scary. They should be screaming they want a primary. Sure, let Trump run and be voted for, but have all the primaries. To take that away just proves how self-serving they are at the top and.... that we need new parties. (Had to get that in didn’t I)

Being lazy is self disappointing. I really want to make the effort to email a host of movers and shakers outside the current Republican debacle and yell at them to take action. There are hundreds if not thousands of people with the capability, ability, and resources to either force something in the primary or make a serious run as an independent candidate. As you know I do not think an independent President will be successful with policy. I have written on this topic before especially in the 2012 election and it boils down that the two parties in Congress would fight tooth and nail so as to not look like they caved. The self-serving natures of both parties at the national level cannot accept they might have to pass legislation that doesn’t benefit the lobbyists and an independent candidate could actually offer legislation that benefits the general good. 

For 2020 though most Americans want something different they just haven’t been able to wrap their heads around it yet. Whenever something new is needed it takes a large wave of cold water splashing them on the face for them to take action. They wave has come, the new action hasn’t yet for them to move on. So the wave and time are passing and we may be left with really ugly flotsam on the beach of the USA and no one left to clean it up if someone new doesn’t rise to the occasion. 

We are fast approaching, and people have mentioned this before, a rehash of Italy in the 1920′s. A dictator of a weak mind, propped up by the industrialists to prevent the socialists from taking over the government. And do not think that street fighting won’t break out in this country. It can and might. Again see above, we need someone to or some group to step up and take the heat, but seize the moment and bring back some rational dialogue to our country and they need to do it now. Add to the fact that the lust for money and power is exponentially higher than Italy in the 1920′s. The modern version of the industrialists just cannot give up the ghost. And what is funny is that they need someone to wrestle power away from Trump to save a reasonable amount of their fortunes. If not, the coming madness in this country and it may take a decade will destroy their fortunes entirely. They are so full of greed they have no clue. 

Okay enough complaining, I should act instead. I have a mental list hopefully I muster the courage to act. The time is now before it gets too late.

So instead lets talk of more fun topics. For all you baseball fans spring training is here. Let your annual optimism rule the day for the moment. May and reality will be here soon enough for most of us.

And speaking of May, many here in Dallas are still enjoying the possibility of watching the Mavs make the playoffs. I would love to see them climb a spot or two in the seeding, but just making the playoffs will be fun. There are teams they have a better chance than others. I think the Clippers are still the team that no one wants to face in the playoffs. So hopefully that won’t be our first-round match. Everyone else barring some luck and some health we have a chance against. It is fast approaching.

And speaking of basketball and fast approaching. One of the greatest three weeks in sports is right around the corner. March Madness is coming and is you bracket ready.

Cheers

Been silent for too long

So a few quick hits on various topics to get me through.

Glad the Mavs didn’t make any trades other than the injury driven needed one. Will it still be tough for the Mavericks to be title contenders this year? Yes, but still believe we need to find the right core who have bought into the next couple to few years and build that consistency then add the difference-making piece if even needed.

President Trump is probably one of the first real victims of affluenza. He grew up without any accountability to anyone except Dad maybe, but he managed to obtain the virus long before anyone labeled the disease.

2020 is more like Italy in the 1920′s than going into the future. We have a wannabe dictator versus the serious potential for some type of socialist candidate. And this wannabe dictator will be backed by the modern version of the industrialists even though they know the country’s future may be bleak under him, yet would rather have that than any sniff of socialism. And with all the hatred and divisiveness in this country, the street fighting may soon come next. People were making this analogy 4 years ago and it is even truer now. The one-percenters need to realize a moderate candidate is really their best bet even if it means giving back some of their tax breaks.

I started this post more than an hour ago and just got this far with too many interruptions. Time for my bedtime, but I will be back again.

And maybe somewhat soon there will be my third short story on Smashwords. I say somewhat soon because as you know dear reader my self-discipline is highly lacking. I did reach out and gave one to an acquaintance who says they like to edit work. We will see. They may shoot me down completely.
