Give the People What They Want...

If you truly believe in democracy here at home...
If you honestly trust your fellow citizens...
if there is to be any Change, real and long-lasting,
It has to come from Us, We the People.

So, please, stop all this silly fantasizing about a rich white knight like Michael Bloomberg riding in at the final hour to save the American people from themselves...

What would happen if the Donald won on the Republican side and you had Bernie Sanders as the Democratic opponent? Bloomberg. Not the television network but the billionaire trans-party former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, who would run with his own money (the only way to do it quickly enough) and his own lawyers and most of the operatives in both parties.
I don't hear anyone calling for Michael Bloomberg to get in the race. His buying in at a late date is not like Donald Trump, who is putting in the work and self-financing. He's obviously thought things through, and seems to be delivering on his plan.

President Obama's supporters told us that his leadership skills were in winning the campaign, working with others, bringing us together to elect him. People had faith, but hopes were dashed in the end performance. There's a greater racial divide than 8 years ago, and the economic gap continues growing...

Can you imagine how the presidency might be harmed if a Michael Bloomberg is able to buy his way in, over the votes of the American people. What the Supreme Court did, in taking the election case that ought to have been settled by Florida law, almost undermined us. But we survived the Bush years, and had such great hope for Change...

Let's not mix our political fantasies with realities anymore, ok? There really are costs and consequences to not letting the American people have their say.
-----------------------

Remember: Donald Trump has never disrespected hard-working immigrants who came here legally, and went through the official process of becoming a citizen. He believes, like Israel, that America too can secure her borders by building a security wall with technology helping monitor. If there is the will, there is a way. That's the American spirit.

If we had only legal citizens in this country, secure in their own rights and equality just as much as those more well-known names with capital and roots for hundreds of years, think of the world we could create together!

When we continue to assemble a tiered system of workers though, we risk becoming like Israel -- discriminating based on ethnic ties, not citizenship.

Doesn't anyone have faith that Americans can fix our immigration system, stop shoving so much off on the state and local governments, and address the issue on a federal level?* Listen to the American people.


* We just need some effective political leaders who understand the importance of getting the job done, and who have the proven people skills to pull it off.

Mercy comes through Might.
Power comes from Strength.
Words should spur Actions.
We still need the promised Change, we're just looking elsewhere now... shopping around so to speak.
