I wanted to talk to you all today about

this situation in our politics today where people APPEAR to be someone they are not.

For instance for a very long time Donald Rump appeared to care about the gays and Medicare and SS and so on, now we all knew he was lying, how did we know?

Well in my case it was cause I had watched him behave like an ass for years and a liar. Someone ELSE might say they are for this or for that but how do we know if they are telling the truth?

Have they disclosed information we need to have so we can decide if we can trust them? Donald didnt. Anybody else who doesnt simply MUST NOT be trusted until they do, right?

If they have a record of voting and that record does NOT support that which you would want, then I guess you would be concerned about that.

Some say Beto has a record of being too far to the right? Oh really, gee, I wonder how THAT got into the mainstream. I am a BETO fan by the way.

Oh well. I just thought I would mention this to people. Please dont trust anybody, RESEARCH THEM first. Look at their track record, how many bills have they AUTHORED that became law that MATTERED, for instance. If they are new, look at their comments about stuff.

At the end of the day guess which party gets to not only decide what becomes law and what doesnt but gets to decide even if you have a hearing, let alone what goes on in it! Yeah, the answer is the party with ONE MORE seat than the other.

I sure hope all non deplorables understand the meaning of ONE MORE seat!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
