Super Tuesday - March 2016

Whether or not you like Donald Trump you have to admit that he is fast becoming a viable contender for the presidency seat.  As I mentioned in an earlier post (The Donald for President?), If Trump wins South Carolina then we need to really sit up and pay attention. Well not only did he win in the South Carolina primaries, but he appears to be leading in the polls across the country as his list of supporters grows by leaps and bounds as he has received and predicted to receive huge endorsements. As he campaigns across the country, one thing is becoming very obvious, he is the candidate people love to hate. But that does not seem to be hindering his popularity among Americans because he is gaining new grounds and could possibly be the republican “choice” candidate on the ballot come this November.

Personally I don’t have anything against Donald Trump. I actually admire him as a shrewd businessman.  That and his brutal honesty. You have to admire a guy who speaks his mind and tells it like it is, however that is as far as my admiration run. Oddly enough it’s those very attributes that won him the title of “most favored” among the candidates for president. People like the fact that he is “not” a politician and his views are simple yet complex by some standards.  Take into consideration that Trump has declared bankruptcy many time over but still manages to regain his wealth. That’s no small feat. So, take away Trump’s desire to deport all immigrants and repeal the healthcare reform act should be become the next president, and he could win over more supporters because there are lots of people who think he would be the ideal candidate who can quite possible turn the economy around and get the country out of debt once and for all.  From a business prospective, there is no better qualified candidate.

I still maintain that Trump has a good chance of winning the presidency but not for the reasons you may think. He could win based on delegates won and electoral votes. If he wins the Republican primaries across the board, which it looks like he will do based on the latest polls, then the question then becomes, “can he beat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders?” Right now it looks like Hillary has a huge lead over Sanders based on recent polls. However, if Sanders win the Democratic primaries then it may be tough to call, but If Hillary maintains her lead and wins the primaries then it’s a wrap. Don’t get me wrong, I think Hillary is a worthy opponent but let’s face it. We all know that "the powers that be" will not allow - nor are they ready for -  a female president.

Regardless of who you support for president, the best way to get your voices heard is to go out and vote. It makes no sense to complain about the state of the country or the leaders in place if you don’t make an effort to affect change. The simple truth is you have no right to complain if you don’t vote. I’m just saying – I got issues. What about you?)i(
