·
It’s a media circus
·
Three rings; three clowns (leading candidates, at this moment):
o
Hillary
o
Donald
o
Bernie
§
Do you see the similarities? Such as:
·
All Easterners – two New Yorkers, one Vermonter
·
Really three New Yorkers – Vermonters are mostly New Yorkers who have the
$$$ to either seek temporary relief from NY or just leave NY because they can’t
compete
·
Very similar pitches to their audiences:
o
You’re getting screwed by:
§
The rich
§
The powerful
§
The government (special interests)
§
Stupid and greedy people (bureaucrats)
§
The media
§
But, not me, of course
·
Let’s look at them individually:
o
Hillary – her power base is:
§
Disenchanted females:
·
Been worked over by a guy or six; need to get
some payback; get into the game; get their piece of the pie
·
Never been appreciated for their “looks” or
“skills” or “accomplishments” or “brains”
·
Always trying out some new hairdo or fad diet,
maybe yoga; tend to dress in garish, loud colors; looking for that outfit that
brings out their inner beauty – the real “me”
·
Common characteristic – attitude, lots of
attitude
·
They want someone who will work the system from
the inside and make things right
o
Bernie – his power base is:
§
Other disenchanted’s:
·
As you know, Bernie is a “socialist” and he has
plenty of company in Vermont, New York, and the congregations of “higher
learning” in the north eastern states – “the ivy league” and “the seven sisters”
·
Bernie’s disenchanted are really Barack’s
disenchanted. Both wish to spread the
wealth around and why not? Sounds good; simple
solution; easy to grasp; even easier to sell
·
Think of the socialist solution this way –
the tooth fairy. Put something worthless
under your pillow at night; wake up in the morning with cash. Six year olds love it. So does the Bernie/Barack power base
o
Donald – his power base is:
§
The non-disenchanted who think the disenchanted
need to work, save, raise their children and discipline themselves as well as
share these commonalities:
·
Anything is better than following upset women
and socialists
·
Why?
Because there is no evidence that anything they lead us to has ever
worked, anywhere – best current examples:
Greece and Italy
·
Other commonalities:
o
Government is a burden to be minimized
o
Borders and laws probably should be obeyed
o
Government does not attract energetic, smart
people (BTW, the disenchanted do share this view when republicans are in power)
o
Prefer some form of periodic payment (interest)
for their savings accounts
o
Believe debts should be repaid, within the
debtors lifetime
o
And, last, adhere to an atavistic concept of individuality
for most things in life
Here are the three:
Bernie – the tooth fairy
Hillary – engaging in retail therapy with friends
Donald – made a fortune building buildings for rich people
to either live in, shop in, gamble in, or all of the above
This thing of ours (campaigning) has started way too
early; it is a circus – free content for our Hollywood media. Financed by taxpayers and we have not heard one of the ringmasters (clowns) detail how much spending they will cut so that the tax burden can be alleviated.
