Failure Breeds Trump & He Will Return the Favor

So the big question has become where are all these Trump followers coming from? The answer seems to be from failure. Failure on the part of the Republican establishment to deliver on any of the promises they have made through one Reagan and two Bush administrations. This, along with a GOP congress that pretty much stopped the Obama administration from doing much of anything, thereby making Barak Obama look bad while they were screwing the voters who put them in office to accomplish something.

Now these angry voters are flocking to a foul mouthed, criminally violent, bigot with a background of bribery, fraudulent bankruptcy actions meant to short change his creditors and clownish promises that he makes without any thought of fulfillment. Why are these, already cheated, voters so enamored with a pathological liar and serial bully? Maybe they have no other choice. His two opponents comprise a package of exactly what they have voted for the last few times and by whom they have gotten royally screwed.

The promises are all there but, when it all plays out, Cruz and Kasich will deliver exactly what former Republican candidates have delivered; war, job loss, pollution scams run by oil-a-garchs and guaranteed economic collapse of the kind that bled off voters remaining savings and left them penniless and out of work, while billionaires made even more money by shipping jobs overseas for their profit.

How many reasons do we need to throw out all the GOP members of congress and start fresh? Let’s just talk about a few. Possibly first and most egregious is the fact that this Republican congress took over 50 votes to abolish Obamacare when every one of them knew that there was exactly zero chance of a Presidential signature. There are all kinds of things they could have been doing in the time they wasted on this ridiculous and hopeless farce. They knew they couldn’t get the ACA thrown out but they continued wasting their time and our money just to make a point that should have been established after the second vote, but alas, it seems that it takes 50 votes for the stupid clowns that infect the House to understand any point.

Another example is the current House hearings on the poisoning of the water in Flint, Michigan where almost every congressman gets up and grandstands by attacking the lazy, incompetent Governor of Michigan while accomplishing nothing. We have a perfectly good emergency fund available to use to speed up the fixing of that horrifying problem. While these lazy, grandstanding clowns posture for the TV cameras, kids in Flint are being permanently damaged by congress’s failure to move their asses and get the Super Fund in play.

Of course, both of those illustrations are overshadowed by congress latest fiasco. Yes, I’m speaking about Mitch McConnell’s leadership of the congress, (first time he’s led in anything), and his refusal to consider President Obama’s nomination to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia’s death. McConnell’s specious argument: that the voice of the American people should be heard on this subject, so we should wait until after the election, begs the concept of cynicism. This argument proves only one thing; McConnell is too stupid to understand that the American people had already spoken on this issue, when they elected Barak Obama to a second, four-year term, which is not yet over.

This is the same four year term that McConnell swore, publicly, to do nothing else but stop. We all know how successful this loser was in that pledge. But more important is the fact that McConnell really stick to his pledge. He really did nothing else in the four years prior to Obama’s second election. Actually he did even less in the three years since. That means that our taxes have been paying Mitch McConnell close to two hundred grand a year for the last seven years to do absolutely nothing. Now he wants to do more of the same with the appointment to the Court.

At this point McConnell owes the United States about $1,400,000. And we should sue him for that amount. More important, however, is the fact that once again the congress is not only doing nothing, but is blocking any attempt to do anything, thereby bringing the business of the country to a screeching halt.

You want to know why Donald Trump exists? This bunch of useless clowns we call Congress is the reason. We should throw all the bums in the House and most of the bums in the Senate out, and start from scratch.

Will Trump make things better? He says he will, at least about the trade agreements that he claims have led to the loss of jobs but under investigation it seems he is just as full of hot air on this, as he is about everything else. When it comes to equitable wages, he isn’t going to move an inch. When it comes to fixing the ACA to help the people who need it he isn’t going to help a bit and when it comes to cutting back on an already bloated military so that we can create much needed jobs through the rebuilding of our infrastructure he’s just not going to be there.

So what does that mean for the angry, struggling, failing voters who are going all in for Trump? Very simply it means, if they get their way, they are just going to get screwed again. How can this be? They get what they want and they don’t get what they want? Is that possible? It’s not only possible; it’s what’s going to happen if Trump gets elected. It may even happen if Bernie gets elected. But in Bernie’s case it won’t be because he is against parts of his voter’s issues, it will be because the Democrats don’t take back enough seats in the Senate and the House to make it happen.

The problem is, the Republican Party’s plan of action is based, not on the wishes of the voters, but on the demands of that small coterie of billionaires that pay all the congressional campaign expenses and throw in significant bonuses to those GOP members of congress who are then obligated to do their bidding in all things, regardless of voter wishes or demands. That is not to say that no Democrat is guilty of this, many surely are. The ACA would have been a significantly more functional document if this weren’t true.

By now it should be evident, even to the angry Trump voters, if you want universal health insurance that has a chance of getting fixed and working, if you want our infrastructure repaired and modernized, if you want your kids to get a decent education, if you want them not to get killed in some war that will enrich the oligarchs but do nothing for the rest of the nation and if you want a fair shot at participating in our burgeoning economy, you have only one way to go. It isn’t with Trump and it certainly isn’t with the two remaining stooges. This year, in this election, it has to be either Hillary or Bernie. If it isn’t, you will get the same dysfunction that made you mad in the first place. America is already great. It isn’t working for you because you picked the wrong people in 2010 and 2014. Don’t make the same mistake again.
