What Trump did, was able to do, willing to do, and those who did nothing, not able to do, or not willing to do...



Obvious that is a ugly title with grammar and all but gets the point out there…

Trump was able to force the Birth certificate issue out there and keep it in the spotlight until President Obama finally had to bring out the hardcopy to limit the damage. Some out there are already questioning the document and look, even if it is found to have been “Made in China” and worthless, we are not going to throw the guy out of office where he has been for 2 ½ years already. The Supreme Court would ignore and delay that case like many of the cases already out there that they do not want to deal with…

The problem I have and have had all along is that our President refused to provide a simple, and required document, to the people that he represents as our leader when the question of authenticity came up…

Just like the guy with the funny hair said many weeks ago, if it’s not a big deal just show us the certificate… Many may feel that Trump is not true presidential candidate material and that may make him all the more valuable. Trump is able to attract the attention and coverage from the mainstream media outlets that others can not get. Competition is great for they have to cover him for fear of him doing something again and their news crew missing the story…

It is like the value of bloggers, the internet, and social networks were people can get facts and the truth out there after the “Campaign Spin” hit’s the local press with its limited facts and targeted agenda… Valuable indeed….

Candidate to challenge Congressmen Goodlatte....


Andy Schmookler has thrown his hat into the ring and if the 6th District Democratic party agrees he will be running against Congressmen Bob Goodlatte to represent the 6th district of Virginia....
.
Do not know this guy but from what I have seen in the papers and Internet over the last few days it appears he is no friend to the Republican party:

BASYE -- "The Republican Party is a destructive force the likes of which America has never seen, according to a local man who has announced his candidacy for Congress."
.


He has already come out with some of the classic Dem-Talk-Points, which I guess they believe if you repeat the claim 3 times fast it makes it the truth and all will believe it, this is one they have been using often:

“What we need to close the budget isn’t cutting off programs like Head Start or heating help for the elderly that Republicans are going after. We need to get the economy out of the hole,” Schmookler said.
.


Schmookler has come out with statements attacking both sides of the political spectrum in the 6th and with the political demographics it will be interesting to see the direction his campaign will take over the year or so....

Both major parties – Republican and Democrat – are part and parcel to the problem. The GOP, to Schmookler, is a “destructive force,” while “Democrats have let us down because they have been wimps in terms of standing up and defending.”

.

With Schmookler being new to the process he will have to tailor his campaign to gain the most votes in the end. As with several recently announced Candidates in the local area, it will be interesting to discover and watch the campaigns "Progress" and change as issues, interviews, debates, and history of the candidates becomes available to the voters....
