On taking office after the stock market crash and the onset of the Great Depression, Roosevelt appointed old Joe Kennedy, a criminal bootlegger, a serial adulterer, and intimate of mafioso, a notorious manipulator of the stock market to be the Czar to clean up Wall Street. Roosevelt is alleged to have commented on his own appointment, "I will set a thief to catch a thief."
Conventional histories generally credit Kennedy with cleaning up Wall Street but history also recounts that Kennedy as ambassador to the Court of St. James became a believer in Nazi inevitable victory and very nearly ruptured the burgeoning alliance with England as it stood alone against Hitler and history is not quite so complete in recounting Kennedy's vote buying in West Virginia and Illinois on behalf of his son in 1960. Kennedy's association with the Mafia obviously continued and was probably exploited to buy a presidential election.
The point?
The essential character of Joe Kennedy did not change.
We have open primaries. We have Democrats and Moderate Republicans selecting our nominee.
I don’t see a single Conservative that will survive that.
I have two words for my friends here. McCain & Romney
I wouldn’t have counted Romney out, but I’ll guarantee you I would have counted McCain out. Look what happened. We could have picked up a drunk out back of the local Grade F dive, and he would have been better than McCain.
Do you think Cruz gets the nomination?
How does that happen in a process that has most recently given us McCain and Romney?
So we go into the primaries and in eight weeks we’re already 80% of the say to a Bush, Christie, or Fiorina nomination. What then? It’s over!
Then later in the year we barf through another Convention where our views are not heralded. Our people are not nominated. And frankly, I put away my voting pen for another four years.
I am sick of this routine.
I know what you said is reasoned. So what do we do?
You have taken our only untried option off the table. You’ve just guaranteed we don’t do anything until 2020. And then Trump is gone, and we don’t have someone who can handle the press and the GOPe.
So in 2020, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
So in 2024, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
So in 2028, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
So in 2032, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
When do we vote for someone that at least voices our ideals in a general election again? I seriously do not see that in our future.
We have one opportunity. We may get some of what we want. What do we get with the next RINO?
You’ve got a House made up of 90% Democrats.
You’ve got a Senate made up of 98% Democrats.
Which guy other than Trump goes to the American public and gets them to blister their representative’s or Senator’s ears?
We’re wasting our time here, if we’re going to play the GOPe’s game one more election.
The national debt in 2020 will be $24 trillion.
If you have a suggestion, I’m all ears.
