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
