Older Folks are more afraid of the Democrats than the Republicans.

Back in 2008 when Hillary Clinton ran against Barack Obama for the Democrat Nomination, Clinton had a diverse base of support. Back in 2008, Small business owners supported Hillary Clinton, Women supported her, Ethnicities supported her, I think even the elderly supported her. The one group she was losing was the younger people, even with Chelsea Clinton campaigning on campuses. Democrat elites were convinced that Obama could win over all of Hillary Clinton's supporters, while also appealing to the younger crowd who clamored for change.

10 years later and Hillary Clinton seems to have dived into the very group that she had the weakest support, the millennials and younger. While some may see that as a daring move, I see it as a betrayal of people her own age who don't have the wealth that Hillary Clinton has but have steadfastly stood by her for the past 25 years or longer.

As I venture into the guardianship abuse issues that are pervasive around the country, Barack Obama seems to be getting a significant amount of the blame among those who have lost loved ones to corrupt public guardians who basically get a court order and seize an elderly person from their own family, sons and daughters, and then spend the elders wealth.

I do believe that Obama and his administration tried to deal with the most difficult aspect of healthcare, those who are younger and healthier and were gaming the system by only getting catastrophic health insurance. It was a lose lose proposition as there really is no way to convince somebody who upped their hospital only insurance coverage deductible from 1,000 dollars to 5,000 dollars per event and in the process dropped their monthly premiums in half.

A person with a high deductible, Hospital only policy could reach the break even point in 2 and 1/2 years and from then on would be saving a massive amount of money year after year even if they had one Hospital Event within that 2 and 1/2 time span. The Medical industry argued that this was a form of Top of the Muffin abuse. Avoid doctor visits and wait until something grave happens that could have been prevented with doctor's visits but now requires hospitalization, which is then covered under the catastrophic, high deductible, low premium plan. A perfect storm of Top of the Muffinness.

However, there were millions upon millions of people whose premiums went up and the only way to qualify for lower cost, affordable healthcare was to lose one's job and be covered by a spouse's healthcare plan.

I think Trump's plan is pretty simple, he will continue to be the target and keep Democrats off of the real problems the Democrat party faces, such as winning back some of the geography they have lost to an America that believes the Democrats favor immigrants over people who have lived in America for decades or longer.

Hillary Clinton's rush to be a part of a political youth movement would have only worked if she personally took responsibility for her own personal health and actually moved her body in a manner that is known as physical exercise. 

While Trump apparently is not in great shape, Trump apparently does not drink or smoke and he apparently stays remotely in shape by fighting with people, who oblige Trump by fighting back.

Republicans and Trump misinterpret Jacob M. Howard's interpretation of the 14th amendment.

Republicans and Donald Trump have misunderstood the meaning of Jacob M. Howard's comment regarding the 14th amendment.

Apparently Mr. Howard stated... This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of person.  end quote.

The commas after the word foreigners, and then after the word aliens, were meant to connect the two terms to what follows immediately thereafter, the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States.

What Mr. Jacob Howard was saying was foreign dignitaries who are in the United States and who have offspring born in the U.S. do not have to worry about their children being U.S. citizens.  No different than if U.S. dignitaries in other countries bore their children in another country would not have to worry about their children being called citizens of the country they were born in.

The U.S. was so anxious to have both Naturalized and Natural born citizens back then that Mr. Howard then concludes by stating "but will include every other class of persons". end quote.

In other words, the only people who are born on U.S. soil who WILL NOT be considered U.S. citizens are those who are the offspring of foreign political dignitaries, and this was done out of a quid pro quo because obviously American officials in foreign countries who have offspring in that country would most likely not want their kids to not be U.S. citizens.

Wasn't John McCain born on a military base outside of the U.S., I think it was Panama? McCain was still considered a U.S. Natural Born citizen even though he was born outside of the United States and in a foreign country. The same courtesy, but in reverse, is being offered to foreign dignitaries who reside in the U.S. when their offspring are born.

The Race is on to accuse the other side of incivility before the 2018 Mid Term Elections.

The Progressives Biggest Mistake and how Elizabeth Warren is making it Worse.

I wish I could directly refer to the piece of video I saw after midnight earlier today. I think it was on Meet the Press. Warren was asked about Trump's Washington Post approval rating being 47% and she gave a really bizarre answer, that if the economy was as good as is being stated it should be even higher, or something to that effect. Dumber than the answer was her tone. Warren seems tone deaf. Warren comes off as someone with no plan other than to figure out how to get enough people together to get what they want for themselves and to justify their position because they belong to some type of disenfranchised minority.

The problem with strength through affliction is if the group gets too big, the Victimhood Life Raft, sinks.

But Progressives have an even bigger problem. I heard the following in the past day or two. Progressives protect the weakest among us, it is their mantle of honor. Here is the problem with that political stance; just above the weakest among us are the people barely holding on who are doing it out of strength and love for their family and community. These groups are routinely called racist by Progressives if they speak too loudly or disagree with a Progressives point of view.

Republican Politicians are constantly doing things to piss off the actual majority of people out there. So how can the Democrats be missing the boat? I would suggest the lack of tolerance for people who are afraid of losing what they already have, in favor of saving people who have even less, has created a Racism cauldron in which Progressives cannot figure out how to include those who have just enough to get by and could lose it all very quickly with just a little bit of bad luck.

When we then factor in immigration issues, then the tilt really comes into play. As I have said in the past, if we can't fairly treat the seniors we already have, how are going to treat an influx of people as they age?

Another related fact addressed in an earlier DailyPUMA article is Democrats have become citified. Republican strong holds have most of the land in the country, and rather than be embarrassed and tackle this issue, Democrats would rather focus on a modest plurality of total voters and pretend that having significantly less land than Republicans is a non issue.

The type of Latino in each party is radically different. The Democrat party has a large number of Latinos in power positions who feel the need to be pro Latino on every issue. Republican Latinos have taken a much different path; they don't want anyone coming into the country to have it easier then they had it themselves and they certainly don't want their tax dollars going to "first timers" when the Republican Latinos already here worked their butts off to get where they are now.

Republican minorities have worked their butts off and when they look over at Democrats, not only do they see a parade of entitlements for the weakest among us including immigrants, they also see physically soft Democrat leaders who look like they could not do a weeks worth of honest labor.

How Republicans could win the Civility War.

The "Which party controls more land" versus "Which Party has the most votes" battle could end up favoring Republicans. Republican voting majorities cover significantly more actual geography than Democrat voters, meanwhile Democrat Voters are in the majority. 

Hillary Clinton has recently espoused talks of Civil Unrest, presumably fueled by the Kavanaugh rush to nominate and the relatively brief FBI investigation. The Civil Unrest / Protest talks will noticeably affect those who have land to worry about, more so than Democrat strongholds in more densely populated areas. Even if more densely populated Democrat areas pose a threat for violence or mayhem, ironically by other Democrats, the incivility can definitely be used as a reason for Republicans to feel fear and to vote in record numbers.

Hillary Clinton's call for civil disobedience is playing right into the hands of Republicans just before election time. The cruel irony is going back in time to 2008 when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were deadlocked in popularity, it was generally regarded that Hillary Clinton supporters were overall the more peaceful, law abiding supporters.

As Hillary Clinton's original Moderate base shrinks and moves to the Republican side, she has now shifted to influencing younger voters. I find it sad to see Hillary Clinton abandon some of her 2008 base. Of course there still are many solid, 2008 Hillary Clinton supporters to this day, yet Hillary Clinton seems to be seeking out younger voters who are not necessarily of the kinder, gentler nature and don't necessarily value her specifically because of her age and lack of physical fitness.

A recent "Hand Made Films" Progressive Political ad features seniors as the bad guys who selfishly vote for their own self interests as they encourage young voters to not vote. Hillary Clinton is basically an affluent senior who has aligned herself with the under 45 crowd. The under 45 crowd basically blames the over 45 crowd for most of the world's problems. Hillary Clinton is sadly becoming the caricature the Republican Party warned everyone about. The difference is the Republican warnings prior to 2016 were probably way off. Now, in 2018, not as much.

Now more than ever Seniors need someone to represent them and show a different side to aging. Unfortunately Hillary Clinton has not gotten the meme.

The Real Damage Trump does to all Americans occurs when he meets with Foreign Leaders.

DailyPUMA believes that under Trump, America is for lease to Trump friendly bidders. The price for acceptance by Trump is to make Trump and his family, business or political allies, happy. Just recently Trump lobbied for Sheldon Andelson to be granted a gambling license in Japan. Andelson made huge donations and crazy anti Hillary Clinton commercials in late October of 2016. Coincidentally, the donations from Andelson poured in after the FBI had started their second Hillary Clinton email investigation. There were rumors that Andelson was not going to commit his pledged donations in the 20s of millions of dollars unless momentum shifted for Trump. 

The FBI announcement of a second email investigation shifted momentum and DailyPUMA believes occurred in conjunction with Andelson's commitment in October to fund the anti Clinton commercials. DailyPUMA believes it was Rudolph Guiliani who orchestrated the FBI and Andelson into their October Surprise actions.

Fast forwarding to today, if a Foreign leader is able to make Trump, his business buddies,  family associates or political allies, happy, the foreign leader will be spoken about glowingly by Donald Trump in public. If the foreign leader pushes back, Mr. Trump will speak disparagingly about the foreign leader in the media. DailyPUMA believes this is a form of economic treason since the core reason for Trump's motivation is financial enrichment for his associates, or his own family, his political allies, or possibly even for himself.

How Trump gets away with it is by accusing actual life long politicians of doing the same thing. Trump followers can then rationalize that it is much worse for a politician to do exactly what Trump is doing, then for Trump to do it because Trump has only been a politician for a relatively short period of time and even then, Trump's relationships were developed while a private citizen. In other words, a life long politician should never use their contacts to gain financially in any way, but a private businessman turned politician is just being a maverick trying to help the U.S. economy recover from years of political give aways. 

While Progressives continue to apply the lifetime political measuring stick rules that are applied to lifetime politicians, to Trump, they may continue to not gain much ground on Trump. Even if Progressives manage to gain ground on Trump in the fall of 2018, it will probably be minimal and just make Trump's remaining loyalists, fiercer.

Apparently Trump Supporters will forever believe that a consensual relationship initiated by Monica Lewinsky and accepted by Bill Clinton in the White House was far far worse than Donald Trump having numerous relationships as a private citizen AND then bribing the women involved into keeping quiet just prior to the 2016 presidential election. Nor  do Trump supporters think the women being tricked into selling their story rights into oblivion by publishers who politically support Trump is as big of a deal as the Lewinsky story was. To Trump supporters, pretty much anything that Trump does rises to the level of what a politician does as a politician because Trump's initial actions occurred while Trump was a private businessman.

Progressives and Media Progressives don't want to acknowledge the present truth that a private business person gets more latitude, even if they become president, then a life time politician does. Although Mitt Romney was defeated because of his business dealings, the difference is Trump has been very public about his business "achievements" for the past 30 years, giving himself a get out jail free card, so to speak. The result is gridlock among Progressives who don't seem to understand that Trump is playing under a different set of rules because of his very public life a private citizen businessman. Apparently we will continue to see a battle to the death between political parties, until the next battle to the death, and then until the next battle to the death.

DailyPUMA wonders if the better course of action is to just accept the double standard and change course. As it stands now, we are a divided country. We are divided by one party holding a significant plurality based on actual land area, and another party holding a significant edge in voting numbers. These are two immovable forces and the mistake our battling political sides are both making is clinging to the notion that their majority is the only majority that matters.

Did Brett Kavanaugh almost cause Monica Lewinsky to attempt suicide while she was being unlawfully detained for refusing to discuss her relationship with Bill Clinton?

Brett Kavanaugh may have issues that revolve around the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton Investigation. Their White House relationship was not only consensual, Monica Lewinsky initiated it. However, Monica Lewinsky wanted to commit suicide as Kenneth Starr, The FBI and the Republican 12 illegally and unlawfully detained her on the 12th floor. 

Was Kavanaugh present January 16, 1998 on that 12th floor during Monica Lewinsky's unlawful imprisonment? Kavanaugh was Kenneth Starr's lead investigator and may have been on that 12th floor. Did Kavanaugh bully Monica Lewinsky in private on that 12th floor while he was also publicly braying that Lewinsky was a victim in a relationship that she herself initiated?

Was Kavanaugh the lap dog who almost caused Monica Lewinsky to consider suicide by jumping through a 12 story window while she was  being held against her will and denied her right to an attorney or a phone call to her own parents?  

Was Kavanaugh part of a conspiracy to deny Monica Lewinsky her civil rights for political and personal gain?

In Monica Lewinsky's own words, The Guardian article you should read.

Below are excerpts from the Guardian Article and they make me wonder if Kavanaugh was present during the illegal sequestration of Monica Lewinsky. If Brett Kavanaugh was present during Lewinsky's interrogation, based on the abuse of Lewinsky that went on  on that 12th floor for many hours, abuses by the FBI, Kenneth Starr and the Republican 12 that were never litigated, Kavanaugh's nomination should be rescinded without a vote.

Why doesn't the MeToo Movement or the TimesUp Movement care about what the FBI, Kenneth Starr and the Republican 12 did to Lewinsky back on January 15, 1998?

The Wiggle Room the FBI might give to Mr. Kavanaugh.

I am concerned that the FBI will solely focus their investigation on the "he said, she said" aspect of Mr. Kavanaugh's past, not find enough evidence either way and call it a standoff. As was pointed out here prior to reading any other observations from anywhere else, Kavanaugh's demeanor seems to have a physically hostile aspect to it that does not seem proper for a Supreme Court Justice.

Not once in my lifetime have I ever seen any Supreme Court Justice and felt uncomfortable about their ability to be affable AT ALL TIMES. From what I saw of Kavanaugh at the hearings, he seemed the polar opposite, someone who could easily get angry and show his anger in a physically brooding manner.

So how does the FBI ferret out the qualities that may make Mr. Kavanaugh unworthy of being on the Supreme Court if they are primarily focused on whether or not physical abuse of another occurred? Supreme Court Justices have to have a certain demeanor about them, one that does not intimidate physically while still commanding respect just by the level of power they possess and their intellectual acumen to come up with wise decisions, viewpoints and counterpoints.

I just saw anger from Mr. Kavanaugh, and it seemed to "trump" all other aspects of who he is or was as a person. But one thing gnaws at me, assuming Kavanaugh was a high octane combo sports and drinking kind of a guy, is that enough to say he should not be a Supreme Court Justice now if not enough proof is found about possible violent acts?

Maybe it may become necessary to view other Kavanaugh interviews from whatever decade they were available to see if he matured. What I saw on Friday, and what was somewhat accurately replicated on Saturday Night Live by Matt Damon sure didn't feel like someone who would mesh with the other Supreme Court Justices.

He Just kind of seems like an Angry, Defiant Drunk.

I don't know the guy, I'm not even going to mention his name out of respect because I don't know him.  But watching him today he seemed so angry. He seemed like a defiant drunk. I think he's proud of his drinking days. I never was interested in drinking so I don't know what the charm is other than it probably loosens inhibitions and allows for a lot of people to usually co-exist in possibly confined areas. I guess its a great way to let one's guard down so something exciting might happen.

So my questions, I if I could have asked them, would have been the following.

How often were you drunk back in your late high school and college days?

How often were you hung over?

Did you hang out primarily with friends that drank?

Did you have friends who didn't drink?

Did you hang out with friends who did not drink?

Did you have an allowance? How much was it?

How much did you spend on Liquor every week, every month?

Was being hungover a badge of honor?

Did you come to work hungover?

What type of behavior do you have when drunk?

Do you regret not hanging out with certain people because they did not drink?

Do you still drink?

In retrospect, if you could have all your drinking days back, would you want to relive them any other way?

Would you have bothered to drink if it did not lead to being drunk?

In retrospect, do you feel there were people who needed you but you were more pre-occupied with the next party or the next time to get drunk?

end of questions.

Then I also wonder, is the inebriated, drinking fabric of life what helps create our future esteemed members of society? Do Drinking binges at a younger age create bonding with others who also get rip roaring drunk and then somehow these experiences are "instilled" in such a way as to create a path towards success later in life? Is there a method to the swilling that creates success? As a species are we bound to only get serious in life after we have shared rather stupid and wasted socializing with a select few so that a lifetime bond of friendship is created over acts better left unsaid?

DailyPUMA previously defended the concept of a Space Force several months ago as well.

If a Democrat wins the presidency in 2020 or 2024, the opposite will happen. Anything the Democrat President says will be ridiculed by Conservative Voters. They do say repeating the same thing hoping for a different result is a form of insanity. Is it insane to also explain it?

Washington Insiders Rally against Washington Outsider, Donald Trump.

Progressive Democrats keep going down the same Political road. The Political road is so wide and easy to traverse that one should wonder, is this a trick?

There is a daily onslaught of bad things that Washington Insiders, people actually within Donald Trump's White House, are allegedly saying about Trump that basically amounts to a no confidence vote.

There is basically nothing that Donald Trump can say or do that will be met with agreement amongst the Media and Progressives, and there in lies the problem. 

Some of what Trump says makes some sense yet the Media, Progressives and even alleged Insiders continue to attack Trump about everything that he says. Washington Insiders of all kinds are basically justifying the meme that Trump is a Washington Outsider fighting against the Washington Insiders.

Progressivism is Anti Senior, Conservatism doesn't give a Crap.

DailyPUMA was just reading the latest hypocrisy from a young Progressive Know it All over at Media Matters. The more DailyPUMA reads hostile Conservative and Hostile Progressive Talking Points, the more DP strives to stay moderate, attentive, and flexible.

Below is what DailyPUMA wrote in the comments section of the Progressive Know it All.

I find it amazing how little Progressives cared about Mollie Tibbetts when she was missing and instead have politicized the politicizing of her death, and I'm a Moderate Democrat.

Progressives refuse to recognize that the overabundance of brain immigration they occupy their minds with is killing seniors.

The CDC basically conspired against seniors this past flu season by NOT reporting their deaths, by allowing their deaths by flu to be called natural causes. Meanwhile Progressives focused on the younger crowd. Yes, Progressivism is about focusing on the young at the expense of our seniors and calling all racist who try and point this fact out.

Progressives keep missing the point about Donald Trump.

Donald Trump was a private businessman. His indiscretions are related to his business dealings and his personal life. Trumpians see a distinction with a difference when they talk about missing Clinton Emails versus Trump's sex life or his business dealings.

What was it about Hillary Clinton's emails that Conservatives think Hillary Clinton got away with? Conservatives think that Hillary Clinton sent emails on her private server to her own contacts and possibly discussed potential economic opportunities gained through her work  as Secretary of State, that would enrich herself, her family, or Business Associates of either herself or Bill Clinton. 

The FBI requested that all related government emails be turned over. Hillary Clinton most likely did this. Then, Hillary Clinton had all the other non government related emails destroyed. After Hillary Clinton had the non government related emails destroyed, curious Republicans realized that if there was a smoking gun, it would not be in the government related emails, it would actually be in the NON-Government related emails.

One of the first points Hillary Clinton's attorneys and Hillary Clinton herself made was that any communication she had with the government could be found by looking at the Government Servers, and both Hillary Clinton and her lawyers were right. Any communication that Hillary Clinton had with the government could also be found on the government servers.

But it was the non-government related emails that Conservatives and possibly the FBI later on realized were just as important, but by then it was too late as the FBI had  told Hillary Clinton's attorneys that non Government Related emails could be destroyed since the Goverment Related Emails had been turned over to the FBI.

Of course the failsafe response from Hillary Clinton supporters would be, could Donald Trump or the Republican National Convention Committee pass the same test that they wanted Hillary Clinton to take, which would be the reviewing of all of their emails just as they were demanding of Hillary Clinton's emails on her private server? The obvious and overwhelming answer is, no, neither Donald Trump nor the Republican National Convention Committee could probably pass the all encompassing email related tests they wanted to inflict on Hillary Clinton.

However, the underlying meme remains, Conservatives believe that Hillary Clinton got away with something when she destroyed her own non government related emails, but what she got away with, no one may ever know.

So in response Donald Trump is now getting his WELL DESERVED comeuppance. And yet, it still won't change the underlying narrative from the Conservative point of view that Hillary Clinton was a politician in a position of authority who may have co-mingled her political duties with private business objectives and then gotten away with it when she was able to destroy all of her non-government emails, even though the destruction of the remaining emails was done via her attorneys and with the FBI's blessing.

Conservatives will also see Donald Trump's comeuppance as political payback for what happened to Hillary Clinton, and once again they will point out that Donald Trump was a private businessman and Hillary Clinton was a politician and fourth in line for the presidency during the first Obama term and the two situations do not warrant the same level of punishment.

Lets not forget Bill Clinton's soliciting for personal donations among those who had already donated to his charitable Foundation. This too raised eyebrows among Conservatives and made many wonder if Hillary Clinton had in any way used her Secretary of State worldwide connections to benefit herself or Bill Clinton's Foundation. Even Chelsea Clinton objected to Bill Clinton asking for personal donations after a donation had already been made to his foundation by wealthy benefactors with ties to other countries.

It should be noted that Bill Clinton was receiving a salary of one dollar a year from his Foundation. Bill Clinton was put in a lose lose situation. If he had been paid a salary, any salary over 250,000 dollars a year would have been publicized by Conservatives and used against him. So instead he took a one dollar a year salary and then hit up his wealthy Foundation benefactors to make additional donations towards his annual Foundation salary.

DailyPUMA does not know what the winning solution would have been. The Clinton Foundation employees a couple thousand people who make modest salaries and in return do good work around the globe. Yet somehow it all got thrown together into one big bowl of goop that gave Conservatives a wedge to make the Clinton's look sneaky or greedy no matter what they did.

Conservatives will now see whatever happens to Trump as retribution for what happened to the Clintons, and will shake their heads because in their minds what a private citizen did as a private citizen is not the same as what an established politician may have done while then being allowed to destroy the evidence.

DailyPUMA believes the best thing the Democrats can do going forward is to mend their own relationship with Middle America, otherwise the 44% to 45% popularity that Donald Trump presently has will never forgive, nor forget.

Donald Trump's Strange Day, on the same day two of his inside people are convicted, Mollie Tibbetts body is found, allegedly dead at the hands of an illegal alien's disgusting actions.

The rift between Conservatives and Progressives, grows. On the day when Progressives are celebrating two of Donald Trump's insiders, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, for being found guilty of numerous charges I won't get into, Mollie Tibbett's body was retrieved by the Illegal alien who allegedly stalked and murdered her over a month ago.

Somehow on what should have been the worst day of Trump's presidency, his biggest claim about illegals killing American's, comes true.

If Progressives simply focus on Trump's defeats and ignore what happened to Mollie Tibbetts, they simply prove to Trump's supporters how indifferent they are to the plight of American Citizens. While Progressives continue to chortle about Trump's allegedly racist supporters and Trump's law breaking cohorts, Middle America feels pain that just does not register with Big City Progressives. 

Trump has managed to become a true enigma, saying many many things that just don't ring true, encrusted with  observations that ARE true, or at the very least, accurate.

If Progressives only focus on Trump's inaccuracies and ignore Trump's accurate observations, we may see a Trump re-election in 2020. Will late night television hosts who regularly hammer on Trump mention Mollie Tibbetts at all? If not, then they just prove they are a big part of why the U.S. debilitating divide continues to expand.

(quick update: Monday 12:15am August 27, 2018) The accused in the murder of Mollie Tibbett's lawyer is claiming that his client is not an illegal immigrant. Progressives are also clamoring because the Tibbett's family does not want to politicize the issue. This is how Progressives stay out of touch. When the news first broke that the accused was in the U.S. illegally, Progressives said nothing. As soon as any wiggle room of doubt and the family's wishes were known, Progressives went on the offensive. This is what drives DailyPUMA nuts. The inability to credit Trump for any of his concerns, but then go on the offensive if any new data contradicts the original meme. It's why Middle American and Conservatives will hold on even tighter to Mr. Trump.

Why does the Pee Pee tape matter more than Obama's Bible Thumping, Gun Loving, Bitter comment?

Even with Russian Collusion,Hillary Clinton should have won the 2016 Presidential election by 5 to 7 million votes. The Democrats made a quid pro deal between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that did not take into account the American People. The Quid Pro Quo deal between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would ignore Bernie Sander's and his disingenuous attacks, and of course, Hillary Clinton would also not criticize Obama about anything that happened during his presidency. In exchange, Barack and Michelle Obama would staunchily support Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Democrat Convention.

If we backwind history a bit, remember it was Barack Obama who won a Nobel Peace Prize without really doing anything to do deserve it. It was Oprah Winfrey and the Obama's who attempted to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago, of all places. 

Unfortunately, Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama's arrival in Europe became a bigger story than the Olympic Selection Committee they were to present to, and the U.S. did not even make it to the final round for consideration for the 2016 Olympics. 

And, of course, prior to being elected, Barack Obama had uttered his infamous bitter, gun loving, bible thumping comment about Inner America.

The Obama administration further alienated inner America with the "Your House is not a Bank" meme. After Obama left office, suddenly Homes once again could be looked upon as a bank to pay off higher interest rate credit cards. 

Ultimately people should be able to decide if they want to pay down higher interest rate debt by taking equity out of their home, especially if they can cut their monthly overall bills by several hundreds of dollars. 

Obama's policy was a two tiered gut punch to the American People. First, your House is not a Bank, and then, when HELOC's started resetting in 2014 through 2016, there was no discernible effort made to allow HELOC's to be renewed for another 10 year period with interest only payments. 

DailyPUMA believes that Obama's obtuseness regarding the 10 year resetting HELOC crisis, in conjunction with Obama's "bitter, bible thumping, gun loving" comment set the stage for Hillary Clinton's defeat. When Hillary Clinton did not saying anything regarding resetting HELOC's that were causing millions of homeowners serious financial problems, it cemented her willingness to be a quid pro quo politician in exchange for the presidency. 

DailyPUMA believes Hillary Clinton's silence caused a shift in moderate voters from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. And every moderate vote that shifted from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump became a 1 to 2 split. One Moderate Hillary Clinton Voter shifting to Donald Trump created a two vote difference, whereas Barack and Michelle Obama's tremendous Democrat Convention support simply refocused Progressives back to Hillary Clinton, Progressives who were never going to vote for Donald Trump.

When DailyPUMA adds it all up, there was a clear and consistent line against Middle America that caused passive moderates to become protest votes for Donald Trump.

The mistakes continue to pile on as now Democrats are working hard to shame Donald Trump every chance they get, as if in some way that will drive Donald Trump voters to them. The American people are not that stupid, when a politician is vilified no matter what he says or does, his supporter will usually double down on that president and even attract new support. If you doubt DailyPUMA, think back to Barack Obama and how we won his second term by an even larger margin. Barack Obama was treated by Conservatives exactly the same way that Progressives are now treating Donald Trump.

Even if the Pee Pee Tape exists, even if other Trump denials become truths, if they all happened when he was a private citizen, he will get a pass that was not given to Bill Clinton because Bill Clinton was always in government. Well, and of course, we know that Republican Politicians in general tend to be hypocrites when it comes to forcing the Clintons to testify under oath even as Both Bush Presidents and their cabinet ignored subpoenas. 

But the point still remains, a private citizen behaving badly is considered less of an issue than a government official allegedly abusing their power. DailyPUMA suggests the Democrats need to re-establish a bond with Inner America that is not about Trump.

Barack Obama was elected even though he made off putting remarks about Inner America and then doubled down when he came up with no plan for millions of HELOC's that reset during his final 3 years in office. Yet now Democrat Politicians hope the Pee Pee Tape exists so that Donald Trump will be humiliated from office.  Do you see how daffy that looks to Inner America?

There is nothing Trump can say or do that Progressives will agree with...

There is nothing Trump can say or do that Progressives will agree with... unless it is "I am resigning effective immediately", and DailyPUMA has a problem with that.

Recently Mr. Trump spoke about the 2018 fires in California. Trump's main point was that too much water is diverted back to the Pacific Ocean and not enough is harbored throughout California so that more water is available at shorter distances to fight fires that now can occur all along California's sprawling landscape. 

The second pont Mr. Trump made was that there is not enough clear cutting in California so once a fire starts it spreads farther and faster.

I agree with both points Mr. Trump made and the evidence probably agrees with him. The current 2018 California fires have now been called the biggest ever on record, and at least one of the areas that is burning has not burned for 40 years. Clearly, some clear cutting was needed during that  40 year time span and apparently was never done.

As for harboring water, California voters approved some type of water reservoir system several years ago and the money was used to create methods for moving water from the Northern Part of the State to the Southern Part of the State. The Analogy that DailyPUMA can think of is having solar energy without the battery back-up for off peak hours. Solar is great when the sun is out, but when the Sunsets come was extra energy during the day stored to batteries or some type of dynamo system for the night time? Same thing with water, when it rains a lot, sure it is useful to be able to move the water around, but it's also useful to have stored water to move around when necessary and during droughts.

Trump's assertions about clear cutting and water storage were immediately ridiculed by the Progressive Movement and the State of California. Here's hoping California Progressives recognize the need for some clear cutting and for the storage of water throughout California so rainy seasons result in water saved for drought seasons and for fires.

If Trump didn't say it, it would never be said, and we would be living the equivalent of fake news in California in which the truth is never spoken if it makes the existing Progressive Movement look less than stellar.

DailyPUMA has an alarming theory that whenever Trump makes a statement that should be taken to heart, and isn't, it just solidifies his own base and the possibly unnecessary war mongering mentality he gets fixated on. Maybe if Progressives warmed up to some of Trump's observations, the need to fight wars and run up military costs wouldn't be so prevalent.

The second theory is the best way to win the swing voters over to Trump's side is to periodically make comments that are not that outrageous, but get amped up as being outrageous by his zealous detractors.

Barack Obama's Failure to Apologize for his own Borderline Racist Shortcomings continues to Divide the United States.

When Barack Obama made his pre 2008 comment about huge swaths of America's heartland being bitter, bible clinging, gun loving Americans, he placed himself on the periphery of being a racist. When Barack Obama either looked the other way or simply refused to address struggling American Homeowners who needed to be helped when their 2004 to 2006 HELOC's were resetting 10 years later, from 2014 to 2016, he basically became a President who could not feel the obvious pain of his constituents.

Obama's refusal to feel Middle America and the Rustbelt's Pain continues to haunt the Democrat Party. Obama loyalists continue to pine for the good old days when America was respected in the World and Obama was a Civil President.  

The Obama loyalists seem to have forgotten the many many million of homeowners who received no help for their resetting HELOC's from 2014 through 2016, even among Homeowners who made their interest only payments on their HELOC's for the prior 10 years. Homeowners who had made their interest only payments for the prior 10 years suddenly found their payment increasing by another 100% to 200% above and beyond what it had been. The obvious solution was a replacement HELOC, and it was never even considered.

The Obama administrations failure to help these millions of homeowners has created a "nothing to lose" sentiment as these alienated voters shook things up by voting for Donald Trump or any other candidate that was not a Democrat or affiliated with Obama's Presidency.

Every time a new allegation against Donald Trump emerges, Obama and Democrat loyalists and Progressives feel vindicated that surely this will turn the tide against Donald Trump. The reality is nothing will turn the tide faster than Barack Obama admitting he had his own racism issues that lay buried during his presidency.

Obama challenged African American men to be their for their kids, even their kids outside of marriage. It was an interesting political gambit to take, to challenge African Americans to do more. 

Yet when it came to the Rustbelt and Great Plains States, Obama didn't challenge, nor did he help when he could have helped. Millions of homeowners in the Rustbelt states took out a HELOC against the Equity in their home, made their interest only payments for 10 years, but then could not afford the HELOC charges suddenly resetting and increasing by 200% to 300% per month as they also continued to pay their mortgage as well.

Obama's lack of cognizance regarding the HELOC issue probably cost Hillary Clinton the 2016 election. Obama's indifference towards assisting those who have lived in the U.S. the longest, while the Democrat Party was gearing up to provide more and more assistance to the newly arriving and migration issues in general caused millions of Democrat Moderates to shift to Donald Trump in2016. .

Instead of offering the millions of Americans with resetting HELOCs a chance to RE HELOC their HELOC's for another 10 years, the Obama administration looked the other way. By 2014 the Home Values had significantly rebounded so the risk to the banks  of not enough home equity was just not that significant.

Barack Obama hid behind his banker's cohorts when he needed to be leading them. The case can be made that Barack Obama's silence over the 2014 to 2016 resetting HELOC crisis at a critical juncture in this country's history led to Donald Trumps presidency. Until Obama admits he made a huge mistake not feeling the pain of the American Homeowner's HELOC reset crisis, the ensuing political divide will continue in the United States for many more years to come.

The reason is obvious, if a Rust Belt or Great Plains State resident has to choose between a party that is favoring immigration issues over those who are already in this country and have been here for a while, versus a party that is somewhat devoid of real compassion and empathy, it becomes a toss up. As each party continues to paint the other party is the evil side, Middle America burns.

Hillary Clinton's Lost Opportunity.

Hillary Clinton could experience a public empathy boost if Robert Mueller's Investigation keeps finding evidence of how badly Russia Behaved towards the U.S. election.

Unfortunately Hillary Clinton, who in reality is a moderate, has dived so far left into progressive politics she has crystalized former moderate supporters against herself. Barack Obama's Trojan Horse gift of solid support at the 2016 Democrat Convention forced Hillary Clinton to be much less authentic than she had been in the past.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton spoke openly about saving homeowner's homes, about supporting the Rust Belt States through their economic transition into the unknown, even on being tough on illegal immigration. The heartfelt hyperbole of 2008 has disappeared. Now Hillary Clinton has been morphed into Animal Farm's Snowball character by Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton now rallys around younger ideas and people that don't actually acknowledge those who are 50 years old and older. 

Even Hillary Clinton's Onward together campaign featured political candidates that were basically 45 years of age, or younger. Our country was fractured by the social message that kids should move out of their parents home or they would not be considered adult. Now Millennials in their late 20's to early 30's have spent close to 100,000 dollars in rent, to strangers, many are living paycheck to paycheck, and at least some have ironically moved back in with their parents.

Can we take a moment and acknowledge the depravity of being ridiculed for living at home in one's 20's while saving money in the process, and instead moving back in with one's parent's a decade later, tens of thousands of dollars in debt? Imagine not being able to pay rent to one's own parents because the son or daughter owes it to credit cards or student loans.

I am not knocking the experience of being on one's own, I am knocking the cultural push that does not give honor to remaining home and saving money versus coming back home a decade later, in debt.

How does this relate to Hillary Clinton? Her Progressive push simply puts fear into the RustBelt States. Not calling Barack Obama out on his failed HELOC reset plan, (he didn't have one) probably lost Hillary Clinton millions of Moderate Rust Belt Votes in 2016.

Regarding what Hillary Clinton can still control, her lack of physical fitness plays into the meme that she is self entitled and as long as she can look good and speak well in public, she does not care if she is wearing a back brace or whatever else she may be hiding. We never heard Hillary Clinton liked to hike until AFTER the 2016 election. I recall a local Los Angeles Newscaster actually incredulous and saddened that the Hiking side of Hillary Clinton was hidden throughout the 2016 presidential election campaign.

There are rumors that behind closed doors Hillary Clinton could be very mean and angry to her own workers. I now believe this is probably true because that level of intimidation has probably mitigated anyone from ever offering her kind hearted and heartfelt advice, such as, why don't you get in cardio shape and eventually run a mile or two in some type of local run?  Why don't you get on an elliptical for half an hour while doing an interview?  These two physical fitness suggestions are what many Americans consider to be authentic example of a presidential candidate being like they are, multi tasking workers who end up having to do multiple things at the same time.

Instead, Hillary Clinton continues down the path of covering up physical fitness issues rather than simply working out everyday and getting in great shape. DailyPUMA has said this before and will say it again, if Hillary Clinton magically emerged 3 months from now, or 6 months from now, or even 1 year from now, and wowed everyone over how she reinvented her physical fitness, they would see her as 2020 presidential candidate. 

The one lesson that Hillary Clinton has apparently never learned is, we can't always control when others will deem us ready for a challenge, we can control how ready we are when a challenge appears. If offered the 2020 presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton would not be ready because of  physical fitness issues that are within her control.

Donald Trump's July 2018 European Misogyny Tour continues.

Donald Trump's Misogyny Tour continues. First he made crazy comments in front of Angela Merkel about Germany getting 35% of its Natural gas from Russia. Germany is highly regarded in the area of Solar Energy so Trump's attack probably served several separate energy agendas at the same time. 

Trump then compounded his misogynistic flatulence with an encore performance against Theresa May, first showing up late at a dinner in his honor (maybe the Drive Thru line at McDonalds took longer then Trump had expected), then making statements regarding May having mishandled Brexit and that another member of her government would make a fine Prime Minister.

Compared to Trump's fawning over North Korean Prime Minister Kim Jung Un, the pattern being created is not a good one, Trump Gushes over Male Dictators who threaten the world's safety, while publicly insulting Women Leaders over matters of opinion.

Maybe this is a rite of passage for Trump. Maybe the public mocking is designed to toughen up the women, and the gushing over of male dictators is done to help appease the dictator, or is that giving Mr. Trump too much credit.

The problem is once a leader publicly shames another country's leader, how do the two get back on the same page? Does Trump really expect that if in the future these leaders do what Trump wants, and Trump complements them, that that will somehow make things ok?

DailyPUMA wonders, has Trump ever really gotten out of any mess he has created himself without a lot of help and forgiveness, the very thing he seems lacking within his own character.

Donald Trump's Hurtful Lies about POW's and Migration.

Donald Trump is calling migrationists and illegal aliens "animals". This is really really possibly the most horrible thing he has done as president. Most Migrants are escaping some other real and present danger. They figure there are worse things then to be caught and sequestered at the U.S. Border.

Gangs come for a families oldest as soon as the son reaches a certain age, probably around 13. If the family refuses, the son may be killed. If the son accepts, then the rest of the sons in the family will be expected to join the gang as they age. To flee being indoctrinated into a gang does not make someone an animal. To be transported like an animal out of fear does not make one an animal, it means they are brave. Calling Brave people animals is unfair to animals, who are very brave, and its unfair for the sinister meaning the word animal is supposed to generate.

Trump has this pampered habit of calling people who either end up in a POW camp, or those who leave behind an absolutely untenable situation, as losers and animals. It's really appalling. Trump is the all time get out of jail free card holder, having been given tremendous financial breaks over his own debt on so many occasions that he never had to run away from his own bad decisions, let alone others chasing him.

Donald Trump is the last person on the planet who should be scorning POWs or calling escapees from dangerous situations, animals. I wish people in the military and law enforcement who Donald Trump routinely lauds and lavishes praise upon would refuse his advances. Please, don't accept being called a hero from a guy who calls families trying to save their own children from a life of gangs, animals, and don't accept lavish praise from a guy who never apologized to John McCain for mocking his five years as a Prisoner of War.

You can agree with Trump that too much immigration or migration too fast can cause those who have been here a lot longer to lose out on government programs, but that does not make people fleeing dangerous situations, animals.

20% of the 2016 Presidential voters voted 56-41 for Trump because of the Supreme Court Justice Issue.

When Barack Obama was not able to get a Supreme Court Justice voted in before the 2016 presidential elections, it opened the door for non Trump conservatives to vote for Trump just because he would get to pick the next Supreme Court Nominee.

The Democrats probably figured Hillary Clinton would win and there was a rumor she might even select Barack Obama as a Supreme Court Justice. Mathematically speaking, if 20% of all voters gave Donald Trump a 15% edge over Hillary Clinton specifically because a Supreme Court Justice was to be selected, that equals an overall 3% gain in Trumps Voting percentage. So pollsters could be off by 3 percentage points on Trump's total because voters could honestly say they were not supporting Trump, while quietly realizing they would vote for Trump specifically because they would rather he select the next Supreme Court Justice instead of Hillary Clinton.

So instead of winning by a plus 2% margin, Hillary Clinton might have actually had a 5% winning margin if the Supreme Court Justice issue had already been resolved and the Democrat choice was not considered horrible to Conservatives. 

It's also possible that if Barack Obama had been able to get his Supreme Court Justice pick approved that the Supreme Court Justice issue would have been kept alive with Conservatives and Religious Conservatives warning that If Hillary Clinton was elected, she would surely pick an even worse Supreme Court Justice than Barack Obama if she were to get a new opportunity to do so.

Still one wonders if the fact that a Supreme Court Justice pick was absolutely going to be made by the new president gave Never Trumper Conservatives the motivation they needed to vote for Trump. The "Select the next Supreme Court Justice by voting for Trump" meme was loudly lobbied for on conservative religious channels and in public speaking events by well known conservative religious leaders, who then had their public speeches in front of large gatherings  also rebroadcast on conservative religious channels.

So to those who say that the polls were intentionally against Trump, that is not true. The polls most likely forgot to ask a few key questions, such as, absolutely showing that in a four person race Trump was closer to Hillary Clinton than in a two person race, and that voters who disliked Trump would still vote for him because of the Supreme Court issue. 

One wonders if Progressives and Bernie Sander's supporters might have changed their minds and exchanged their protest votes for a third, fourth or no candidate, for Hillary Clinton, if they realized that Trump could win because Trump non supporters were going to vote for him specifically because of the Supreme Court Justice selection the new president would reside over.

As for DailyPUMA, DailyPUMAs biggest issue is how Hillary Clinton has reacted over her loss. Hillary Clinton apparently can't be bothered to get in great physical shape to show those who were on the fence about her that she had the ability to keep herself in good, physical shape. 

Instead DP is watching a Norma Desmond masquerade in which Ms. Clinton continues to cover up her unnecessarily declining health rather than look inward and realize that being able to cover up correctable physical insufficiencies just plays in to the hands of her detractors who say she is not to be trusted. Being physically fit shows a certain humility to something bigger than ourselves, and it inspires others. Ms. Clinton has chosen to inspire those younger than herself while forgetting what an amazing role model she still could be to those 60 years and older.
