What's Happening?

       Hillary R. Clinton was the “presumptive” Democratic Presidential candidate before her campaign started.  She was an ultimate insider with intimate connections to big money.  She assumed she would be the first woman President. 

     No one even dared to challenge Hillary.  There were only two other individuals in the first Democratic debate;  one of those individuals was Bernie Sanders.  Sanders is a 74 year old socialist who only joined the Democratic Party in 2015.  He has been an independent from 1979 to 2015 and was elected as a U.S. Senator from Vermont as an independent. 

      The amazing thing is that Hillary can’t get him to go away.  She is still trying to clinch the Democratic nomination for President.  How can this be happening?

      The Republican Presidential nomination has been just a strange.  We started with 17 candidates.  We had candidates with insider name recognition, senators, and governors.  We had black, white, and Hispanic candidates.  Both sexes were represented, and most of the candidates had big money backing and establishment support. 

      Donald Trump was one candidate who was somewhat of a joke.  No one took him seriously.  He was almost like comedian Pat Paulsen running for President.  He is now the presumptive Republican candidate. 

      The Republican Party establishment says Trump is not a true conservative or Republican.  They are right to the extent that Trump is the choice of the populace and not the establishment.  He rejects some of the Republican platform that has been a failure, such as trade and immigration policies. 

      Some Republicans are now endorsing him and the establishment will follow.  They have no choice, because if they don’t, the Republican Party will go the way of the Whig Party. 

      How did this happen?  Trump self-funded his campaign.  He had no organization or ground game.  There is no way he should have won.  

      Trump does some very unconventional things.  He says what he thinks and is seldom politically correct.  He says what he believes and does not care about polls.  He addresses issues like immigration and trade in a common sense way that no responsible politician would ever consider.  Trump is not a politician.  He is a businessman and a patriot.  He does not need to be President.  He believes the country needs Real Change, and feels it is his civic duty to run for President.  Do the people of this great country agree?

     In my book Business Fits, I say the basics of business never change.  The same is true for government.  It’s time we get back to the basics that made this country great.
