Two Speeches I Would Love To Hear
With the Presidential election a mere two months away and the gnawing fear of a true sociopath being placed in the most powerful position in the world I do what most good Americans do in these times; I escape. I play “what if” and in this case it is about two speeches that I would love to hear from each candidate. In the case of The Donald the speech could only help him if you believe the polls. He trails Ma Barker by 6 to 12 points; according to which democrat city the poll is taken. I do not trust polls and see them only as a means to manipulate people. The first political poll resulted in a picture of a jubilant Harry Truman holding a newspaper with a headline stating “Dewey Defeats Truman”. And if that is too dated for you the latest polling fiasco was the “Brexit” vote. Polling data even up to the vote supposedly showed it going down to defeat by a wide margin but the morning after showed an independent Britain. Part of the reason this country is in a mess is that many politicians govern through polling data instead of doing what is right. The Donald seems to have resisted that temptation which is a good part of his popularity as he is seen as the “anti” candidate. He wrecked havoc in a diverse field of candidates by being himself and if he changes that he will doom himself to second place come November. What follows is my what if The Donald has his own version of a fireside chat with the American people. Given on a Tuesday night (DO NOT interfere with Monday Night Football, Americans do have priorities) early enough in the evening so the kids can watch also.
“Good evening America. Do not adjust the color setting on your television, yes this is a real tan and I like it! You have to agree that it looks good on me. It certainly beats the old hag look. Oh – I’m sorry, I meant to say the haggard look. Seriously folks, I just added that to satisfy my critics and to give the media something to cover as they will not cover what I will address in the balance of this chat.
My purpose tonight is to speak with the million of voters who are still unsure who you will vote for this November. This race can be broken down very easily. My opponent has her base of about 35 to 40 percent that will vote for the democrat party nominee no matter who it may be; Hitler or Stalin – though they would prefer Stalin or even Mother Teresa as long as she gives up her affiliation with the Catholic Church and supports public funding for Planned Parenthood. So in reality I do not see me or any other candidate gaining support from her base. Let’s face it folks, is there anything more closed than a liberals mind? It is true that the same could be said of many Republicans, but if you listen to the media there are many Republicans disavowing their allegiance to the party because I am the Party candidate. So does that mean that Republicans are more open minded? I don’t know folks. So I wish to address you who are truly undecided and the open minded Republicans who are upset with Trump being the nominee. It will be your vote that puts me in the White House.
In 1980 while running against the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan posed a simple question to the voters, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”. I am posing the same question with my candidacy. Are we better off than we were four, eight or even ten years ago? Without a doubt some of us are – but are you – the average American better off? If I thought we were I would not be running. Are we safer from terrorist both foreign and domestic? No we are not. Can we be better off? Can we be safer? Of course we can and that is why I am running. But folks, there has to be a change. We can not continue doing what we are doing and expect a different result! We know that, come on! Look the bottom line is that the Democrat Party and their nominee are incapable of solving economic problems or protecting us from terror! They are incapable because they are corrupt. When I say corrupt folks, let me tell you, they make Tammany Hall look like a church group! And it is not only them, it is the whole Washington culture that is corrupt. When I claim that the system is rigged – you know what I mean. It is geared toward their benefit and they have so divided us into groups our power has diminished.
The policies and actions of the present administration including my opponent during her disastrous tenure as Secretary of State has placed this Nation and it’s people in a dangerous and precarious spot. In their drive to change America, one out of an ideology based on hatred of our way of life and the other out of old fashioned greed but both as corrupt as this world has ever seen; they have endangered our Nation and her Allies now and far into the future. Not only our children but our grandchildren and their children’s future well being is being compromised and for what? You see folks, it’s not only the Obamas and Clintons that have to be defeated, it is the whole Washington DC culture that has to be slain. Before they slay us.
We are in a mess right now. It may be even too big a mess for me to handle, but I have to try. I know and you know that their way does not work! How do we know that? Look at your life. Are you employed? Are you employed at the same place you were 5 or 10 years ago? If so, consider yourself fortunate. How is your income? Most likely it is stagnant which means you are falling behind. We keep hearing about the disappearing ‘American Middle Class’ and you have to ask – why is it disappearing? Wages are flat and whatever so called “cost of living” raises that are based on faulty governmental statistics do not cover the rise in taxes (especially local and state taxes) ; food inflation; transportation inflation and on it goes. Is it any wonder that we look grim? How about National Security? Do you feel safer than you did ten years ago? Probably not. If you do it is only because you are too busy focusing on eking out a living. My opponent and her boss has armed a terrorist nation with nuclear weapons and also threw in several billion dollars to boot. Where do you think that money is going? Will it help some poor schlep living in a Tehran slum? We all know that it will be funneled to terrorist organizations to destabilize the area further and attack us and our allies. The nut case in North Korea is a creation of this administration and my opponent. I have been attacked and portrayed as not having the “disposition” to have control of the military might of this nation. They are trying to brand me as a loose canon who can not be trusted. Folks, this is a throwback to the days when Goldwater was running against Johnson in 1964. They successfully tainted Barry Goldwater as a warmongering nut. Let me remind you of what happened when Johnson was overwhelmingly re-elected in part due to that successful ad campaign. A little thing called Vietnam occurred. Johnson and the democrat party had us neck deep in rice paddies that almost destroyed this Nation internally. When George W. Bush decided to take out Iraq I came out against our involvement but guess who voted for that war? Guess who voted to keep funding that war? That’s right. Mrs. Clinton voted for the subsequent deaths of over 5,000 Americans and for what? Not because it was right or necessary but because her polling data showed that after 9-11 Americans were angry. So you tell me – who is more stable? Let’s look at the “Arab Spring” and it’s aftermath which she and this administration encouraged and bragged about. It was going to bring democracy to the Middle East and instead it brought us Benghazi and dead Americans with our military sitting on their thumbs, waiting and wanting to rescue those American heroes. All the while not supporting the only democracy in that region and our only true ally in that region – Israel. Let’s look at her dealing with Russia. Ask the Ukraine how that is working out for them. They paint me as unstable but in reality folks, she is not only unstable and corrupt – she is a major destabilizer! She is the Mr. Magoo of international relations!
We have a system of laws in this Nation that has for so many years under Democrat and Republican administrations been ignored and have been allowed to get away with being ignored. Only Congress can declare war. It has been over seventy years since they have filled their responsibility and as a result we have been led into Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. I understand that there is a need for a rapid response militarily at times but it should only be temporary in nature not for a prolonged action! That will change when I am elected. Congress will have to start focusing on their proper duties as outlined in our Constitution.
I have spent most of this talk on foreign affairs but my main focus has to be on our domestic stability. I have been criticized for my insistence on immigration sanity. A big part of that begins with the building of a wall along our southern border and putting teeth back into INS. It can be built and it will be effective in giving us a more secure Nation. We who support a wall are mocked and the idea is pushed that it would not work and that it is a racist anti-Mexican act. We are being invaded through the porous borderline. Not just by the poor Mexicans who are looking to either better their life through their hard work or through taking advantage of our overly generous welfare state but there are untold foreign nationals from not so friendly nations who are placing very dangerous people here to do us harm. Then there is the infestation of drugs that flow across our borders. While we fill our prisons up with addicts we allow countless tons of dope to enter unimpeded. A wall sustained with proper vigilance will slow the influx of both. It won’t stop it but it will make life harder for those who attempt to enter illegally. It has been pointed out correctly that under Obama more illegal Mexicans have left than under any other President. But come on, look how his administration accomplished it – they destroyed our economy! You don’t hear about that now do you?
My friends, until I became a serious contender for the Republican nomination the term “racist or racism” was never mentioned in the same sentence as my name but now suddenly I am racist because I insist on deporting any person who is here illegally. And especially those who have committed crimes against our citizens. There are those who believe the lies that the democrat party and the frightened establishment republicans spread through their media cohorts. And most of those are people who are affected directly by the uncontrolled invasion – the brown and black population who are victims of crime committed by the actions of illegals be it through excessive drug availability or violence on the streets. I ask you – who are the true racists ? You who live in the large cities that have been under the control of the democrat party for decades have to ask yourself some very hard questions concerning where your loyalties lie. Jobs, crime and a educational system that has been corrupted to benefit only the few have made life miserable for you. Yet you still support the overtly racist actions by your leaders. You will have a chance to make a change this November.
We have heard how the democrats will turn the economy around with making the rich pay more and spending more money on failed industries. Is there anything more comical and yet disturbing to hear Clinton and the democrats decry the 1%ers and Wall Street and Corporate greed? She and her husband have made millions of dollars in giving little speeches here and there. Let’s be honest here; we all know that the monies received were payoffs for influence. I doubt that she even said anything more than “Hello, I am Hillary Clinton. Thank you for your donation”. Why else would the transcripts not be released ? Knowing Bill, he would give a little more in the way of a talk. He is like that. But her? Please. Listen, I am a 1%er and I am damn happy I am! Yes, I was given a good start through the hard work of my father and I am damn happy I was! That is America folks. Work and try and get as rich as you want to and there is nothing wrong with that at all. Most people are not driven to do what they have to in order to gain the kind of wealth a 1% attains and that is ok. But we are getting dangerously close to the point of denying the opportunity and it is being led by multi millionaires like the Washington DC elite who gain their wealth the really old fashioned way – they steal it. Politicians like the Clintons only have one thing to sell and that is the influence that voters give them. In reality I believe that there should be a windfall profits tax of 100% placed on every politician because they gain only at the expense of the public. When a guy opens a bakery his income is solely based on his paying customers. Politicians like the Clintons gain at everybody’s expense.
Our tax system is a mess. It is easy to say raise the taxes on those filthy corporations and the rich but that does not work. The driving force behind corporations leaving the United States are high taxation ; intrusive regulations and to a small extent wages. My plan is to reduce the corporate tax rate to zero for those companies within the United States. We have known all along that these taxes are paid by the consumers so it will be a tax cut for the American consumer. For the companies who have relocated or plan to relocate outside of the U.S. the tax rate will be lowered to 25% but I will also place a tax on their dividends so that it is not only the consumer who will pay the price. The effect will be that many of those firms will be forced to return to the U.S. by their stockholders. I want to also set a target date to end the “progressive” income tax and switch to a suitable taxation that would have all Americans share the cost of government and also do away with a ever increasing bureaucracy that is the IRS. In that vein I want to be the first President since Coolidge to actually shrink the size of government. It can be done and I am the only candidate that will do it. These things can be only accomplished with your support. I want and need your vote and I believe that I will get it! But you must also send people of a like mind to Congress and the Senate. More conservatives have been voted in Congress beginning in 2010 but through very weak leadership they have not even slowed the pace of an out of control democrat President. With my leadership and knowing that I represent the voice of change I believe that things will get done and we will Make America Great Again! Thanks and goodnight!
And the second speech I would love to hear would be this:
“Good afternoon my fellow Americans. What a wonderful Saturday afternoon to have a talk with you! My opponent gave a speech the other day and I would like to make a few comments on it. First, he is correct in much of what he said; however not to beat a dead horse but what difference does it make ? I have a larger base and my polling shows that I am already the President – so there! Donald once said that he could shoot someone in broad daylight and get away with it – well I have! Ok. I didn’t do it myself, but…
I just don’t get it. The crazy Trump and his Republican supporters have such a problem acknowledging that it is the Federal Government that has made every improvement that is worthwhile; NOT the private sector. I wish they would get over that but it seems they just keep living under the delusion that the American people can actually think for themselves. Yeah right! All I have to say is that the past eight to ten years have been a great success and I pledge to continue that trend! When elected I will make full use of every room in the White House as my past experience shows that there is a demand for renting out unused bedrooms and I believe that there is an untapped fortune in banquet hall rentals. Donald’s claims of the democrats not having profitable fiscal policies are exaggerated to say the least.
So those who support Trump just keep your racist butts home in November because I am going to win and your vote will just be a waste of time. And no, I am not taking any questions at this time. I promise that shortly after my inauguration I will have as many question and answer sessions as you can afford. Thank you and enjoy your Saturday afternoon.”
Ok, I admit that we will not be hearing anything close to either speech but as I stated at the beginning, it is my escape and one could only hope.
