Do We Really Want Another Yes Man


We do have a legal process whereby immigrants may become citizens. A process, I may add was followed by my grandparents and two uncles in the1920’s. Ignoring this process is a slap in the face to all the immigrants who have complied with this process. And lamenting the fact that some immigrants struggle to achieve the American Dream is disrespectful to the millions of American citizens who are unemployed, underemployed or drowning in student loan debt while non-American citizens—the “Dreamers”—are awarded amnesty and free college tuition.

Would it not be refreshing if GOP elites would abandon their foolish phobia of being called racists, sexists or throwbacks who “cling to” guns—and nominate a winner? As Rush Limbaugh has said, Republicans inside Washington's Beltway, really do believe that it is a negative to fight back, to oppose Obama… Trump does nothing but criticize them, and he does it in politically incorrect ways, and he is soaring, and still the establishment does not learn (or words to that effect). It is apparent Trump and Carson’s politically incorrect policies endear them to everyday Americans while causing GOP elites to the obvious.

If you ask the American people, they’ll say Donald Trump and Ben Carson are the most electable. Some even prefer Carly Fiorina over the rest of the field. Though Cruz is considered an insider, he is loathed by many in his own party for refusing to dance to the GOP establishment music. This in itself puts him near the head of the GOP presidential hopefuls line. Those within the GOP elite establishment will play a different tune. They will claim that a Washington insider has the orchestra behind him and he has “staying power.” Even a DC insider should realize “staying power” is different from electability. Independent and Republican voters want a leader whose presence brings the house down. They want someone who dances to a new tune. They desire a new vocalist with the tenacity to croon out and shout “no,” not another yes-man who sings off-key and is guaranteed to lose.
