And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Luke 12:42
What if everything the experts know about elections is wrong? What if the winning of the two special elections are more proof these overpaid professionals have no idea what is going on? What if the people are smarter than they think and can see right through the obvious pandering or TV commercials no longer work? If these are all true, which they are; then it is time to look at elections and governing in an exciting new way.
By all measures the Dem should have won the Georgia 6 election since according to the Mediacrats Trump was having a terrible first hundred days. He did not even get Healthcare solved or the budget passed as well as being Putin’s poodle, America was furious and realized they made a mistake. There was real anger out in the streets as women donned their pink pussy hats and this election was going to be proof the voters had come back to their Socialist senses.
This Dem had every advantage. He had a fractured field to go against with no real opposition. He had a ten to one spending advantage not counting all of those invaluable Hollywierd endorsements as well as a 24/7 blitzkrieg from the media and the entire Democrat machine pounding that one tiny district. How in the world according to the book could he not get over fifty percent in an off year election? It was simple, voter turnout.
What if the voter is smarter than either Party gives them credit? What if pandering does not work and people would rather the gummit keep their rotten bacon? If that is true and is why President Trump won and this Commucrat lost, then all of the advice these Repubs are getting from the Republisaurs is wrong. It is time for open heart surgery.
There are three major issues which are going to be extremely painful to solve, Obamacare, the budget and immigration. All three of them if addressed seriously will end their political careers according to the experts. These will require serious bills which have no easy pandering answers which will be like training a biker into a ballerina.
To really address Healthcare they are going to have to make it voluntary, return it to the insurance industry with all of the underwriting and have a high risk pool which will be unaffordable and no subsidies. Many will lose their insurance and will be a burden to the hospital system, however in five years the insurance industry will correct itself and rates will lower as competition begins fighting for those high risk premiums and the broken system will begin to heal itself. We are really paying for frivolous lawsuits which also need to be addressed.
The budget has to be taken seriously and the President has to consider the biggest issue which is welfare and Socialist Security entitlements. There needs to be serious tax cuts to stimulate the job market and those additional taxes will help, but to lower our deficits we need to cut welfare, Medicare and Social Security. The obvious solution is to raise the retirement age and to lower benefits and push people to not take it even though they paid into it as a patriotic duty. Why should younger people be paying into this antiquated Ponzi scheme? Isn’t there a Nigerian prince they could be helping out for millions in return?
We need to cut the Federal Gummit by at least 25% as most of these jobs are works projects which can be streamlined and computerized. They need to begin looking at selling their Federal Lands for income generation as well as proper management of the resources. There is no reason the Fed should own fifty percent of the land in the West and all of the expenses which goes along with it. Turn it over to the states where it can be properly managed and sold to private citizens to own and use.
Finally, build a wall and deport people who do not belong here. Most of the Mexicans in the West are only here to vote and keep the Dems in power. There is no verification of citizenship and the Marxists know they vote or can be faked to vote at 75% Dem so they have a huge motivation to support their Sanctuary voters. So what if the rape and murder rates go through the roof while education tumbles through the floor as long as they come out to vote when called upon.
If you are not an American then the taxpayers have no reason to pay for your education, healthcare or welfare and you need to go back home. Once this country begins to get its own fiscal house in order than it can consider how many people it can bring in, but until then this is a budget item which needs to be cut and is time America focus on its own problems.
Building the wall is the other side of that coin since once a Dem takes over the White House they will open the border again and we will see the trains running into our country flooding the border. You cannot tear down a wall with the stroke of a pen and that border will still be hard to cross no matter who is in charge.
These three issues can only be addressed by a one term President and Congress. If they are looking at re-election and listening to their political managers they will never do any of these career ending items. They will just trim around the edges and do the Texas Two Step, so the voters will never notice. The mediots will be screaming like crows on a dead skunk how Trump is throwing Grandma off the cliff and gloating over the coming midterm victories for their Party, but what if they are wrong…again?
What if the voter is not as stupid as the two Parties think? What if the internet is more powerful than ABDNCBS and have tuned them out? What would happen when the first time a quarterly report would say the debt actually came down thanks to taking serious steps to solve some serious problems? These issues are not going to get better by trimming around the margins and kicking them down the road for our kids to pay for. There is serious pain to go through and nobody will be happy solving them, but at some point America is going to have to go in for open heart surgery.
These elections have proved the experts wrong and people like Steve Bannon right. If President Trump and Congress were to take on a one term approach they will be shocked at election time. Not only would they not lose, they will win in a landslide. Their hardcore Right Wingers would be so energized from having their politicians putting their lives on the line they would hit those doors with abandon. The internet would be buzzing and the country would actually feel like it had a future. Once there was a couple of actual improvement on the debt then the pain would feel less intense and the generation which has run up the debt could actually be the solution.
These three elections should tell the politicians this is an exciting new day. According to PravdABDNCBS this was the worst first 100 days in the histoir of the eart. We have a President who is a puppet of the Russians and America now knows it made a mistake, and they still lost. This says the first hundred and the shutdown means nothing. Americans are willing to give him the chance the media never gave. They will give him four years and if he is not afraid to lose re-election and makes some or all of these changes will want to finish the job for their children. Americans love doing things bigger than themselves and want to rebuild their Shining City on the Hill.

Jest wonderin’.....has DNC Perez handed in his resignation, yet?
He won the office by swearing to desperate Dumbos that “resistance to Trump” was the key to Demo victories.
It’s been downhill for Dems ever since.
They found their out-of-the-woodwork white Obama and pumped him full of millions of cash all for a strategic district (Newt’s old home ground).
They were BANKING on the first-round knockout - don’t let them lie and say blah, blah, blah.
They counted on a fractured and multi-candidate slate on our side and a maybe-chance of getting the 50% +1.
That didn’t work and there is no room for the white Obama to go up - only for the Republicans to coalesce now around one candidate. Suck it Democrats - you played hardball and you got it back in your face.
My guess is Perez is only there as a Clinton engineered plant to help out that fledgling porker, Chelsea.
That’s one tough row to hoe if you aks me.
But....Ossoff's $8.3 million (98% from out of the district), and an endless Republican field, failed to keep Ossoff from the perils of a runoff.
QUOTING DREAMER PEREZ: “He’s already at 49% of the vote, and there’s a heck of a lot of energy out there,” Perez bragged after Joe Scarborough questioned the strategy of Democrats in investing heavily in TV spots. Perez pledged full Democratic Party support, saying that they had a “darned good ground game” and have room to do even better in the runoff.
=================================================
HATE TO BE THE ONE TO BURST PEREZ'S LITTLE DREAM BUBBLE---but Perez had a huge organizational advantage and the normal opportunities afforded in GA's special elections, and still couldn’t pull off the steal......one key fact is that Republicans got more votes in GA-06 than Democrats and unaffiliateds combined — even after the mega-drop of $8.3 million into Jon Ossoff’s campaign. (hat tip Ed Morrissey)
Gag.
There is no mystery. Georgia is red, right, Republican. We don’t elect many stinking Democrats. :-)
shhh...let him keep on keepin’ on. Perez is the gift that keeps on giving.
LOL....you got a point there.
Lol by my accounts if the Democrats spend what they spent on this guy this time, over the next six years for everybody, they will need about 20 billion dollars :) not including the presidential race.
It’s hard to say now. This lanky hunched-over putz has a girlfriend so maybe this one isn’t a closet queer. That’s one step up from the ‘vacationing’ former Messiah anyway.
Unfortunately, the only poll I've found shows Quist up 48 to 41 for Gianforte. The Libertarian candidate takes 11 pts. Republicans have some work to do in Montana!
What if you actually lived in the sixth district before spouting off a bunch of hot air?
“What if the voter is not as stupid as the two Parties think?”
This special election had 43.47% eligible voter turnout. It’s probably hard for the parties to attribute much intelligence to the voters when 56% of them or so don’t care enough about it to vote at all.
Freegards
I don't think the fanatics in Berkeley are big Hillary supporters, yet they get all the attention. So I'm rooting for the real Marxists and Bernistas to push their weight around in that party.
Here's hoping we can continue to divide and conquer them like we did in the '16 election.
I agree with most. The Social Security idea is not that great. The companies have already done away with pensions and have given the money to the CEOs instead.....do they need 50 million a year? No. The businesses are rich with cash from the savings of the pensions that were stopped beginning in the 1980’s. What company wouldn’t want to pay out pensions. That was a great score for them. Since companies have taken away pensions. Now the government wants to take away Social Security? Ok fine. Now how do people live? Most can’t pay rent. The companies also decided to keep wages down so that they don’t have to pay as much and keep the money for themselves.
And no it is not a democratic thought. Republicans are the ones who shout that they take care of the working class. Evidence??????
True. And unlikely to ever happen.
the guy didn’t even bother to shave her election day. Either that or he grows a very thick 5 o’clock shadow :)
Some out-of-state putz told him Georgians are stupid and that stubble would look good. Still a little hunched over putz that doesn’t even live in the district in which he’s running. Slick talker, bullshit walker. Not black like Ubama but they tryin’ new things now.
