What A Political Year For President 2016 Is

A trying season

One thing for sure is that the primary season is way too long. The media circus is exhausting and ridiculous, and some of the candidates have sunk to new lows.

On the Democratic side: Hilary Clinton, as a former senator and secretary of state ,is very capable in domestic and foreign policy, but she is dogged by scandal both real and imagined; Bernie Sanders’ message resonates with voters who have seen their political and purchasing power diminished. He is also a seasoned senator.

On the Republican side we have seen the rise of Donald Trump, a bully who has tapped into the anger and frustration of the average citizen. He has made lofty promises with no plan or policy, and insulted everyone in sight. How this vulgar thrice-married casino owner is appealing to evangelicals boggles the mind.

Three Stooges - Moe (Donald Trump), Larry (Ted Cruz) and Curly-Joe (Marco Rubio)

Cue the stooges

As an aging baby boomer, I have been able to observe the last six decades of bizarre political behavior exhibited by our political leaders. During the Watergate hearings, all Americans were glued to their TVs listening to their president discussing his crimes and cover-ups.

William Jefferson Clinton proved beyond any doubt that having sex with a White House intern was the moral equivalent of not having sex with a White House intern.

Allegedly, President Lyndon Johnson would take his Secret Service contingent for a 100-mph drive through the back roads of the Johnson home territory in Texas. To add insult to injury, the Texan chief executive once peed on the shoes of his Secret Service bodyguard.

The most embarrassing of all acts of executive madness had to be the effort the other night by the three major Republican candidates to duplicate the comedy of the Three Stooges. Moe (Donald Trump), Larry (Ted Cruz) and Curly-Joe (Marco Rubio) put on a display that was masterful in its comic simplicity and humorous stupidity.

Rubio Move Out Of The Way In Florida

No go, Rubio

During his run for U.S. Senate, Marco Rubio covered the state of Florida like a one-man swarm of bees. He met with FairTax supporters on a number of occasions. He promised us his top three priorities were going to be term limits, the balanced budget amendment and passing the FairTax bill. When we confronted the senator after the election as to why he did not co-sponsor H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act, he gave us a sophomoric excuse that was obviously as deeply thought out as the thickness of our president’s skin.

Rubio Should Get Push

Well now that Jeb Bush has pulled the plug on his failed bid for the White House most of his support should end up going to Rubio. If your voting Republican you need to learn more about this young senator from Florida before you support him.

As a  person who lives in the Sunshine State I've not seen anything Rubio has done for Florida that makes him deserve the White House. Rubio is a true politician he sounds good and looks good but it's all show. Many times when hes been interview by local Florida papers his answer are no comment.

Rubio is the kind of senator that is afraid to take a stand on hot issues. It's to bad that he is better at selling himself than Jeb Bush was.  Bye Jeb we wish you well...
