Time For Truth – Part 2 of 2

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

time-1In my previous article, in great detail, I outlined the reason why democrats and liberals are acting as they are in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory and Hillary Clinton’s loss as well as why they are still in such a state of disbelief over the reality of the 2016 election.

But I also said there were those, on my own side of the aisle, who are having trouble accepting reality.

While I write and broadcast commentary from the right side of politics, I have always based my commentary on facts and the truth. I can see absolutely no reason to alter that approach just because Trump won and Hillary lost. After all, simply winning the White House has never been my end game. Getting our country back to the Constitutional rule of law has…and I don’t give a happy damn who is in the Oval Office…our Founders and Framers entrusted nothing less to We the People than being honest in our political approach.

Here we go…

A Moral High Ground Reality Check

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Imagine, if you will, a cliff at the brink of a bottomless abyss and the only thing there, as a aby-1barrier, is an electric fence.

Form that image in your mind and I promise I’ll get back to it before I’m finished here.

In scantly 3 weeks, on November 8th, America will have a choice to make. The stakes couldn’t possibly be higher, the ramifications couldn’t possibly be more dire nor could the consequences of that decision be more important, not only here at home, but around the world.

Like it or not, we are the balance in a world that’s on fire and near the tipping point. We are the world’s police. What we do, where we stand, and how we react have consequences and ripple effects that reach far beyond our shores and set the tone for both our allies and for our enemies.

I, like so many others, am sick and tired of being faced with voting for the lesser of the two evils. But I, like far too few, realize that no matter what, we will always be faced with voting for the lesser of the two evils.

Yes, I realize that there are many who, because of that aspect of the election, have decided to stand on their own island of pride, and write in a candidate’s name or vote for a 3rd party candidate because, according to them, it’s the moral thing to do, or it serves well their conscience.

I have a question, actually several questions, for those folks.

Trump and Hillary…One and the Same

By Craig Andresen Right Side Patriots http://www.americanpbn.com/

For the better part of the last 10 months, Donald Trump’s blind followers have been vile in per 1their comments directed at any candidate who dared to challenge their presumptive dictator and equally as vile toward anyone who dared to support any other candidate than Trump.

Trump has called Carly Fiorina ugly, called Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi, ugly and unbalanced, has compared Ben Carson to a child molester, Demeaned Marco Rubio, Called Ted Cruz a liar, insinuated that Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK assassination, had false stories planted that Cruz himself was having 5 affairs, demeaned Jeb Bush, blamed 9-11 on George Bush, incited riots, encouraged his followers to commit violence while offering to pay their legal fees for doing so, mocked Scott Walker for NOT raising taxes and accused Ted Cruz of being the Zodiac killer.

Naturally, Trump’s blind followers picked up every bit of this rubbish and immediately spread it all over social media.

Now, as Trump closes in on the nomination…his blind followers are blaming those whom they so vilely attacked for the past 10 months for splitting the party. It’s OUR fault, according to the Trumpers, that the party is now split six ways from Sunday. WE’RE to blame…or so THEY say.

Really?

#NEVERTRUMP #NEVERESTABLISHMENT #GOTEDGO

Next week, my state of Nebraska will hold its primary election and on that day, I will proudly nt 1cast my ballot for Senator ted Cruz and in doing so, I will hold my head as high as the day I cast my vote for Ronald Reagan.

We now have a good idea who the nominees will be. Hillary and Trump are currently leading but Hillary may never make it to the nomination due to a pending indictment as per the FBI investigation into her email scandal which involves espionage.

Trump is facing two court actions…Trump University, a scam engineered to line his pockets and a pending rape charge involving a 13 year old girl in a civil action.

This is the best America has to offer?

No…no it is not. We have far better than either of those two festering louts.

We have Ted Cruz…

A Matter of Trends, Numbers and Momentum

By Craig Andresen Right Side Patriots http://www.americanpbn.com/

Ted Cruz won two states in the March 5th showdowns. Donald Trump won two states in the March 5th showddel 1owns. Trump’s camp is happy to say they won as many states last Saturday as did Cruz but that doesn’t really tell the whole story, does it?

Cruz won 68 delegates last Saturday. Trump only won 53 delegates that night and that’s a lot more telling than the two to two tie isn’t it?

But even that doesn’t tell the full story.

Trump under-performed in Louisiana. In polls leading up to that state’s primary, Trump held a double digit lead. It was supposed to be an easy win for Trump and while he did win that state…he only beat Cruz by less than four points. It was close. It was a whole lot closer than Trump wanted it to be and a whole lot closer than Trump thought it would be.

Trump also won Kentucky, but in polls there, before the March 5th caucus, Trump also enjoyed a double digit lead over Ted Cruz by a margin of 35-15 according to RealClear Politics. That was a 20 point lead but on caucus night, Trump barely managed to win by 35.9 to Cruz’s 31.6…a difference of only 4.3 percent.

Interesting, but there’s more to be told before we can accurately see the big picture here.
