A prediction about the upcoming election on November 6.. one sentence about Trump.

If Republicans loose big on November 6, Trump will deny any and all responsibility for the loss.

October 26, 2018

2 Sentences that will sway people against voting Republican this time..

After all Trump is the Republican leader.. He represents them all..

(it may not last forever, but it will last till November 6..) Yes it will last for 12 day through the election.!!! and these 7 words will convince some (no one know how many) not to vote for Republicans this time
______________________________________________________________
Reporter: "Will you call Obama and the Clintons" [after the pipe bombs]?

Trump: "They wanted me to, but we’ll pass."

___________________________________________________________________________

We get into discussions about Republicans vs Democrats all the time. These 2 sentences define Trump. Will other Republicans criticize him for these 2 sentences?. Not likely.. Am I correct that calling Obama and the Clintons would have showed respect for previous Presidents? A sense of reaching out? for "unity" .....but ...
...................7 WORDS DEFINE TRUMP.......................................

Trump: "They wanted me to, but we'll pass."

_________________________________________________________________

Yes, this will change some minds for this election. Please pass these words on to those who may vote for us, or have not decided...A decent leader of the United States of America, without hesitation, would call previous Presidents whose lives were threatened. Think about it.
..... This will work, and most of us see the total selfishness in those 7 words. You mean Trump doesn't have the time to call previous Presidents and their families that were threatened by a bomb?

Yes, that one thought will convince some not to vote for Trump's party this time. Or, if they were going to vote for Trump's party, to stay at home.... or..to change their vote to the Democratic Party for this election.. We have been looking for something that will change people's minds..............Well there it is: Trump's 7 words..

...............Reporter: Will you call the Obamas and the Clintons..(after the pipe bombs)
..................Trump: "They wanted me to, but we'll pass"

2 positive aspects of these events

1. Right wing radicals exposed for what they really are. Violent vicious thugs who are willing to hurt and
kill opponents .
2. Nobody at this point in time, has been hurt by these bombs sent through the mail.

No matter what Trump says about the capture of the bomber, he will look like a total fool.

He already looks like a fool, but whatever comments he makes in a couple of hours, he will look stupider. Trump and his rhetoric is the cause of this. Everyone knows that. Stations all over the world will replay his vicious attacks on those he opposes. Trump has made these attacks countless times, day after day. That is what is at the center of all of this. What can he say? Trump's record is totally clear to everyone.

Plantation Florida is a suburb of Miami...just to inform..

A couple of miles west of Ft Lauderdale..north of Miami itself..(maybe 8 miles)...correction, 28 miles north of Miami proper...see post below...

The truth about the idiotic right wing. 28 -35 percent at most. WE MUST VOTE!!!!

That is who makes up this group. 28 - 35% It varies but that is it. Maybe, it gets as high as 37 percent in some elections, but we have a very strong majority of clear level headed thinkers, both republican and democrats.
..the truth is this: .. If we vote against their candidates, they cannot win...............................
.......................................BUT WE MUST VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...................................................
....................................again, if the"normals" vote. .........They lose.....

..........................................THEREFORE...WE MUST VOTE !!!!!!!........................................

Trump Blames the Media: CNN

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-rally-wisconsin-october-2018/index.html

(you need to scroll down more than half the page to see this story)

President Donald Trump took no responsibility for the national political environment at a campaign rally Wednesday night, instead a pointing finger at opponents and the news media.

Trump addressed the explosive devices mailed to the Obamas, the Clintons, CNN and other public officials during a rally in Wisconsin.

He complained of “mobs” -- a reference to protesters who opposed Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, confronting Republican senators on Capitol Hill, and who have publicly confronted GOP lawmakers and Trump Cabinet officials at restaurants and in public.

“No one should carelessly compare political opponents to historical villains, which is done often and all the time. It’s got to stop. We should not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property. There is one way to settle our disagreements -- it’s called peacefully, at the ballot box. That’s what we want,” Trump said.

He then said it’s the news media’s responsibility to set the national political tone.

Could these bomb attempts change the election?..Could the attempts

get people to come out and vote? Especially vote against Trump's language and attitude? Could people who were reluctant to vote before today, have more desire to come out to vote? Not just the desire, but the action of doing so? Voting when they might have not voted before today? I think so, but we will know in a couple of weeks. I sure hope people vote against Trump!!

Well, guess what? There is as of today, 10/23/18, a valid reason to impeach.

Inciting people to commit violence. Trump may deny, but we all know it is the truth. If we win the House of Representatives, this could be a very hot issue. What do you think? Is this a valid issue? Does he incite people to commit violence? Did Trump incite the criminals who sent the bombs?
Yes, this is ugly and awful. So is what happened today.

October 24, 2018

It is clear to me. FBI will get the people who sent the bombs. & Mueller will get Trump & his gang.

...Both will take time. Both are determined. You might say that these events are not the same.
But both events are crimes, but crimes of a different kind. The former head of the FBI that is investigating a group that colluded with a foreign nation to influence and possibly change a federal election is just as motivated to catch those crooks as the FBI is to someone or some group that sent bombs to our former leaders. You may say NO, but I would say yes.
... Mueller has already gotten a number of Trump's gang, and is working with them to indict other members of the gang. In each case the investigators will find solid proof that will convict the criminals. You might say that there is no comparison. OK. You have your opinion. I say in both cases they will catch the crooks. Both cases might take time. But, in my opinion in both cases the investigators will get the top dogs.
