My political predictions for the near future are simple and clear:
Joe Biden: I don’t know if Vice President Biden will run for president but Hillary Clinton needs him to run—hear me out. Junior Senator Barrack Obama got into a serious fight for the nomination with Clinton. The battle sharpen the skills of both candidates. Many voters felt that young Obama wasn’t ready to be leader of the free world; he had not put in the required time on the national stage. But, the primary battle proved his steel.
Joe Biden could be to Clinton want Clinton was to Obama. Yes, she is ready and experienced enough to be president but she needs a seasoned sparring partner.
Jeb Bush: The Republicans need to stop playing—stop it, I say…now. Let me make one thing perfectly clear…read my lips….Jeb Bush is the only Republican with a real chance of defeating Hillary Clinton in the general election. If you notice, Bush has an “I don’t need this crap” air about him. He is the grown person in the room and to flirt with Trump and the others leading in the polls today is insulting to a leader of his caliber.
A Jeb Bush/John Kasich ticket is the best case scenario because the former House Budget Committee chair is the governor of swing state Ohio and both men intelligently tell far Right conservatives when their fervor is too much. Maybe Bush isn’t suited to be the nom from a party increasing dominated by folks who dig Trump-like rhetoric.
Hillary Clinton: The biggest obstacle to Hillary Clinton winning the White House isn’t the Republicans pulling voters from her. The obstacle or concern is getting out people who normally vote for the Democrat nominee. If you notice, I didn’t say Democrats because many of the sometimes voters who put President Obama in office aren’t “card carrying, meetings attending” proud members of the Blue Team. I think of it as how dedicated are University of Georgia football fans compared to UGA basketball fans.
So, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton reach the people based in part on who they are personally rather than the power of the party as a cohesive operation (like the Republicans.) Dem leaders think their base will vote for their nom (Hillary) as an only option because to GOP nom is head of a party with a crazy sub-division. However, there is another option: stay home. Say what, real Americans like me vote in every election including a run-off for local dog catcher.
But after the high of having Barrack Obama in the Oval, the next move for some people will be to look for non-governmental solutions because even the smoothest president in history couldn’t fixed your jacked-up life. “….as not what this country can do for you…..”
Hurricane Farrakhan: Minister Louis Farrakhan is about to return to Washington, D.C., for a rally commemorating the historic Million Man March. Team Hillary should be concerned….very, very concerned because the platform of the DNC seems to be based on governmental assistance rather than encouraging all Americans to step their personal games up. If you notice the personal responsibility message to the Black community has always been the core of Farrakhan’s and Malcolm X’s missions.
These young Blacks today are information savvy and recognize that the Democrats aren’t producing results. They want straight talk and clear solutions. When Farrakhan finishes his indictment on “Brother Barrack”’s political party, 20% of the Obamacrats might blow off the next presidential election and that would be a mistake.
Team Hillary has countless Ivy League nerds with charts, polls and algorithms. If those cats join with the bishops from the Black churches and folks who marched with King, they won’t create a message that will sense to regular people.
While the official Hillary campaign can’t address certain issues in certain ways, they better hope that outside operations come up with an approach similar to this blog’s Best Interest Initiative.
