I wish I was a Pollster

I would not ask questions like:  Hillary ? Cruz? Sanders? Rubio?

I would ask , if you are a Trump supporter what made you feel as if the parties have abandoned you ?

Are you better off today than you were at the start of Obama's first term ?

How about your 20 something kids ?

Do you pay any attention whatsoever to the past dealings of Hillary and Bill Clinton, and if so how can you still consider her to be a viable candidate.  This is not chicken shit stuff, oh, wait it is exactly chicken shit stuff---read bout the poultry pollution episodes of Bill's gubernatorial stint , and how he learned the fowl trade of politics.  Seriously ?

What do you hate about Ted Cruz, cause we all know everyone hates him ?  Personally I think it is the SMARMY factor,  He is the smarmiest guy in town.  Trotting out Heidi and the girls at every turn without a mention of the personal sacrifice that Heidi has gone through to ride this wave.  Look it up.   Apparently she was so despondent at the prospect of political life that she required medical intervention. She says it was depression brought on by moving to Texas.    But let's not let a mental breakdown get in the way of our ambitions.  The story sounded too much like Tipper Gore and Anne Romney to not make note of it. Ambitious husband steam rollers reluctant wife in quest for office, Hallmark Hall of Fame made for TV romance----yeah right ! Story

Does anyone of these guys subjugate their own personal ambition for the protection of a spouse , a child, a family.  Normal American families do it all the time. They forgo a move or a promotion so that the kid can graduate high school with classmates she has been with for 8 years, friends for ever.
Husbands and wives balance these things.  I know of a person who refused a promotion as it meant moving 5 hours away from his parents who were expected to die within 2 years.  He stuck around, they did too for that two year period. They died and he told me it was the best choice he had ever made for his own peace of mind.  Unbridled ambition is an ugly trait, it is not attractive in anyone.
Unbridled ambition is divorced completely from humanity.

Do you think Marco Rubio has two love children ?  Look it up, there might be some traction there.
Personally, he is a lightweight.  His track record is non existent and his money issues legendary. Watch his mannerism, his eye blink rate is out of this world.  There is a scientific correlation of eye blink rate to personal stress level.  Watch it closely, he is stressed over the top.  This is one of the cop tells that police use in questioning suspects.  So if you are being questioned by the cops,  Don't Blink.
Mario don't blink.  Oh, forget about it , Mario already blinked.


Are you as sick of the constant diet of TV news dominated by what candidate A said about Candidate B, while the world collapses overseas.?  Nobody mentioned that Germany is near civil war over the immigration waves,  but hey that is there and we are here. Korea more tightly wrapped than at anytime in the last 65 years, nary a word, but Trump has small hands and Rubio Flop Sweats.

Does your Congressperson suck more than other Congresspersons ?

How about term limits ?

What message would you send  the media ?  Can Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd be anymore fawning over Hillary ?  Can Chris Matthews be anymore partisan ?


What pisses you off ? No really ?

It is clear that we are mad as hell and are not going to take it any longer.  My own suspicion is that the middle class is tired of making the uber rich more uber than ever and tired of politicians using the back of the middle class to pander to the lower classes. Everyone of us has skin in this game. Flooding the country with illegal immigrants so that hoteliers , and fast food companies and food processing companies can make their sponsors increasingly rich by avoidance of paying livable wages to citizens is simply not right. 7 bucks per hour to whack the heads off of chickens is a fair wage because it insures that the process plant owner can earn a million dollars a week.  Where is the balance ?

 The complicity of government in the failure to address this situation leads to the rise of people like Bernie Sanders.  As much as we wish to deny it, there are those among us who view the entire system as rigged.  For all of those middle class persons who were brought up on the American Dream of work hard, get educated, keep clean the reality is particularly hard to accept.  Being sold out is never palatable. and is never a pleasant experience.  Why just look at Jeb Bush.

The policians have created a class warfare that is becoming more and more apparent.  Nothing gets addressed for there can be no blame if nothing gets done. Each congress person is dodging responsibility for anything, yet the  are all fighting for us.  Sure.

Is it over yet ? 2017 can't get here fast enough.
