Well, its official! The Run for 2016!

Everyone thinks that the run begins when the exploratory committees are formed.

Truly, it really doesn’t begin until there are announcements for candidacy.

But it becomes OFFICIAL when the mudslinging begins! And it has!

There is an attack as against Sen. Dr. Rand Paul by Karl Rove & Jeb Bush! Bush hasn’t even announced his candidacy but he has the gall to go into cahoots with Rove to launch an attack ad!

The RNC, headed by Reince Prieibus, mailed, to all the media outlets, a thumb drive of Hillary’s emails.

Wouldn’t it be so refreshing, and actually worth paying attention to each candidate, if they each stuck to their own campaign?

Each person that puts their name in the “hat” for the run for any election would do well to simply focus their campaign on THEIR plans, their solutions, their answers to OUR questions.

No campaign should be “S/He who has raised the most money wins.” To be honest, it absolutely sickens me to see how much money gets spent during campaigns when our deficit is so enormous!

Every candidate should be available to the press, for answering questions, whether they like it or not. AND they should be available to answer questions from the people that come out to see/hear them while they travel to ‘get votes”

Each candidate should have a solid platform to run on.  They should be able to answer questions without having to refer to notes or being fed answers through an ear piece. Campaign managers aren’t the ones running for office so leave the candidate to answer for themselves!

What this country needs are solutions and plans on how to bring those solutions into fruition.

Mudslinging is for children and it doesn’t belong in politics!

Sen. Dr. Rand Paul Interviews

First of all, I have to make it clear that I am not a Rand Paul supporter.

However, I feel that I have to speak out, in his defense, of how he is being portrayed in the media as of late.  It is quite ridiculous that he his harsh on women reporters/journalists.

Here, Sen. Dr. Rand Paul is criticized for ‘shooting’ the interviewer, however, if you will note, she did NOT give him a question, she made a statement and he wanted to correct the statement.  At the end of the interview, he was correct in how the media handles these things.  They need to come with questions that matter about the voting records, the bills, or the campaigns.  What she was doing was not right and it is exactly how ALL journalists and TV hosts are.  If it were Hillary Clinton being interviewed in this same way, and she responded in the same way, the outcome would be totally different.

Now here he is, criticized for correcting this interviewer for how she runs through a list at rapid fire, and he is trying to stop her because she is editorializing and not asking questions.  If she is going to INTERVIEW someone, she should ASK questions.  He has every right to stop the interview to be able to get a chance to ANSWER questions.  He has done nothing wrong here.  Again I say, if it were Hillary Clinton that were interviewed in the same way, and she responded in the same way, the outcome would be totally different.
