How to deal with Donald Trump

Trump has said plenty of really stupid things, many of which his GOP opponents have glossed over.

He may be easier to beat in a debate than a lot of people think.  His irreverence  may work in front of many Republicans, but Democrats may find Trump rude and boorish.

When the general election occurs assuming Trump is still standing, the Democrats should assure groups of blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans and Asians are prominently sitting together in the audience. This will freak Trump out who will be unable to remove them.

Protesters should also picket his arrival. Hope the Occupy Democrats show up in Cleveland and at the general election debates.

Fast forwarding to the general election, let's assume Hillary or Bernie is is debating Trump.

Let's assume Trump throws a grenade out Bill Clinton's past infidelities. The Democrats should respond about the nude and semi-nude photos of Melania Trump are on the Internet.

When veterans issues comes up, it should be noted that Trump mocked a disabled person at a rally, “Now, the poor guy — you've got to see this guy,,” mocking New York Times investigative reporter Serge Kovaleski. Likewise, how can his escapades with women as a young man be compared to service in Vietnam. Trump has also disparaged John McCain's military service and his internment as a POW while Trump get 5 deferments to stay out of the war.

When racism comes up, it should be noted it took him several days before he repudiated David Dukes endorsement. Can he prove that Mexicans are bringing drugs, bringing crime and rapists to the US?

When immigrants and “the wall” are mentioned, he needs to explain why H2-B Romanian workers are given preference over US workers in his county club in Palm Beach. 

How can Muslim immigrants be prevented form entering the US. What is the legal basis for such an action?

When Trump mentions his business acumen, he should be asked to explain his four bankruptcies and why he was unable to get a gaming license in Nevada,

Also. why does Trump think is appropriate to punch a protester in the face or encourage people at his rallies to attack protesters? The US isn't WW2 fascist Germany

Why did he say, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?

Why did he suggest Hillary Clinton got schlonged in a close primary race with Obama? 

Constant Sexual innuendos 

 

Trump has attacked Carly Fiorina's appearance and implied Megyn Kelly was menstruating as a debate moderator. He has attacked celebrity females such as Bette Midler and Rosie O'Donnell as well. 

Why the constant sexual innuendos?

Trump: You know, it really doesn't matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass." He also says Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband or America."

The Libertarian Scam

Rightardia has been following the libertarian movement since the 1960s. Rightardia has read both Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead. We consider both to be more like romance novels than political novels.

The author, Ayn Rand, was Russian Jewish immigrant who had experienced Stalinism first hand. Her novels were anti -Stalinist and anti-collectivist. Her novel empathized the importance of the individual. The Fountainhead's protagonist, Howard Roark, is an individualistic young architect who chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision.

Neither novel caught on in the academic circles across America. The were other people who also atered to the the GOP out crowd during the Depression and World War 2. Another was Abraham Vereide, a Scandinavian minister, who came to he Us to fight godless communism. He was the founder of the National Prayer Breakfast

Rand's book were the impetus for a Libertarian Party, This is what the Libertarian Party advocated in 1980.

One of the Koch  brothers was running for VP of the Libertarian Party at that time which might provide a clue who is really behind this movement.

Both liberal and libertarian have the prefix "liber" in them, but liberalism and libertarinism have little in common in the modern world. Steve Kangas said when the nation was founded, both liberals and libertraisn were the same. Of course , you could accuse Kangas of being present minded, the Libertarian movement didn't start until after World War 2.

The Libertarian Scam

The libertarian scam works this way. Many liberals are really libertarians. Go take this test on the Political Compass and you will see.


The Political Compass test is horribly flowed.

The Political Compass test is flawed

First of all the opposite of authoritarian is not libertarian, it is egalitarian or democratic. The concept of a libertarian left and a right is also suspect.  Almost all liberals who take the test will fall into the lower left hand quarter. The test really makes no distinction in this test between liberals and libertarians.

As far as Rightardia can tell, the majority of libertarians are fascists and fall on the extreme right of the political spectrum. Most have the same sentiments as Tea Partiers, ditto heads and militia.

The distinction`libertarians have with other conservatives is that most are not pro-defense and are against Us military adventures abroad. This was very apparent during the GOP primary season when hawkish establishment Republicans went after Ron Paul.

Libertarians want liberals to think the two movements are similar, but they really have little in common. The libertarian movement does not appear to be growing in conservative circles. Perhaps, it is hoping to attract liberals into the movement with the premise that liberals and libertarians have much in common.

Liberals have also asked if libertarianism is such a fabulous political philosophy, why are there no modern libertarian nations?

One bloke form the UK suggested that the US was libertarian nation in the early 20th century prior to the depression. That was the era of the the big trusts, union activism, child labor and the muckrakers. Theodore Roosevelt broke up the large trusts, and union activism helped build a middle calls in the US.

The era prior to the Great Depression was a tough item for Americans. The Roaring 20's could also be described as more libertine than libertarian. It was also an ear in which three consecutive GOP presidents led the US into the Great Depression.

Rightrdia's view is that this libertarian movement is withering. Men like Rand Paul and Paul Ryan claim to be libertarians, but few Republicans accept either as true libertarians.

Rightardia was on a libertarian FB page and asked who the libertarians if there was real libertarian who had been elected to public office.

Their answer was Sen. Bernie Saunders, a socialist , who caucuses with Democrats.

Bernie Sanders on Social Security

Social Security is essentially a federal retirement savings plan and is not a welfare program. Employees pay a monthly FICA payroll tax to fund Social Security and Medicare.

Private enterprise will try to suggest it can better invest the money, but when CEOs are making 400 times what he average worker makes, and you take away profit and management fees for private retirement funds, you end up without about half of what Social Security provides.

Both the UK and Chile tried to privatize their social security systems. The UK abandoned there system because pensioners lost half of their pensions.

The Chileans have a privatized system that primarily benefits the affluent. The Economic Opportunity Institute noted the Chilean private system is a case for caution:

• Transition costs have negatively impacted public spending.
• Pension fund management fees are exorbitant.
• Non-participation threatens the overall viability of the system.
• Individual accounts replace less of low-income workers and women’s wages.
• Private accounts leave workers susceptible to market downturns.

Another problem is that age discrimination laws in the US are weak. 

During economic downturns that occurs every 7-10 years, seniors lose their jobs and have little recourse. 

What is a 50 year older worker to do between age 50 and the new Social Security retirement age that the GOP is proposing that is 69 or 70?
