This is going to be an interesting year. Next year could, despite not being an election year, also be an interesting year. The Scout Motto could be important for a long time to come.

In the third part of “Scouting for Boys” Robert Baden-Powell explains the meaning of the phrase:

“The Scout Motto is BE PREPARED, which means you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your DUTY.”

Well Hillary with a Dem Senate can change the SCOTUS for decades, and essentially rewrite the 2nd Amendment.

I think fortunes can be made investing in guns, ammo, and manufacturers.

I’ll be going to the delegate selection convention in my state to pick delegates that will VOTE TRUMP on every single ballot. I’m waiting for the media to report how many Cruz delegates will defect on a second ballot.

The Supreme Court will be the result of the GOPe. When GOPe gets their 12 million illegals all ready for citizenship. Who does the GOP think they vote for? The democrats have been spreading out refugees to red states for a decade or two prepare for NC and Georgia to go blue. Heck they think Texas will go blue in 20 years. The DNC works. The RNC works against their own future. Well it was nice for over 200 years. That’s a good run considering history.

If Trump wants to seal the deal and earn the nomination then he needs to earn 1,237 delegates. Perhaps he should go back to talking about borders and jobs instead of how some woman looks or menstruates, or whatever else he’s come up with that day to further sink his numbers with half the voting population.

They are willing to lose the war to win the battle.

Let me ask you this... Is it more likely that current Trump supporters will vote for someone other than Trump if he is by far the leading vote getter and leader in the delegates but is denied the nomination— or women to vote for Trump?

He will “buy” his way on the ballot from a 3rd party that already has ballot access in all 50 states

Trump always has a plan B and he always has the option to walk

The GOP is tying their own noose at this point

And a Three Way race will benefit Trump, he will draw even more democrats (since he is no longer a “evil republican”) and will draw independents who hate both parties and will draw republicans who are fed up with the GOP

Trump knows what he is doing
