Never Trump? by Bill Roberts

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Brooks and Dunphy Real Estate DRE 00527512

Since Donald Trump is on course to get the most Republican primary

votes EVER, how can some of the Republican insider elites still be 

saying #Never Trump?

Well, the answer is very simple. Trump will cancel their gravy train.

They want you to think it is all about ideology, but it is not.

Follow the Money

We all know about outrageously expensive hammers and toilet seats

that the government buys, but do you know why?

It is all about those CONTRACTS that are arranged by LOBBYISTS in

exchange for political donations.

The Pols want to get re-elected. That costs money. Lots of money.

So these lobbyists hand them (or their re-election committees) a big

DONATION in exchange for their agreement to support a bill that will

allow an agency to give a contract to the lobbyist's client.

They don't care because it is not their money. and they can maintain

that they are not doing anything illegal. Or, at least, they won't be

caught.

If they don't do this they will have to spend 30 or more hours per week

on the phone BEGGING for contributions to their campaign

committees.

BRIBERY OBFUSCATED

BTW Did you know that if they don't get re-elected they can keep all

the money. Most politicians start out their careers as paupers but end

up as millionaires.

This has been going on for many, many years. They refer to these

lobbyists as "K Street" because that is where their offices are located in

Washington D.C.

Trump threatens to blow up K Street. And that would be good. The

Federal government owes over $19 Trillion. And there is no way we

can EVER pay this UNLESS we reduce the cost of government.

Trump will make government more "thrifty" in their contracting. He

has a history of doing just that. Check out his Ice Rink project in New

York's Central Park that he completed under-budget and in record

time, when others had already failed.

The Never Trump people are living large by facilitating this costly

process of awarding government contracts.

Trump will end the gravy train

No wonder they say Never Trump.

I say screw 'em. We don't need them. Good riddance. It should not

have been their Republican Party anyway. It is ours.

If we can roll back government, there should be more for the rest of

us.

More of everything.

Bill... I saw this yesterday, but had a busy day and then we had to pick up our oldest grandson at the airport, who's just finished his first year in architectural grad school at Rice University, as he's spending 5 days with us. So didn't get a chance to do much commenting yesterday once my day got going. But, better late than never!

True, very true. Enjoy the time with your grandson.

That would be splendid  Bill Roberts  but let's not forget the more likely alternative.  Our tax bills will be generously adjusted to pay for it.

Actually Randy Mitchelson, APR That isn't even possible. If the debt keeps growing and interest rates go up, our entire budget will just pay the interest on the debt. They couldn't tax us enough to pay this.

Interesting...I am really enjoying all of the conversations from political/non-politcial types that this year's running has generated. Never having liked politicians I am thoroughly engaged. It's interesting watching Trump's subtle and not-so-subtle shifts as he goes along his path.

Well Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 I suppose it could be said he is learning as he goes. But what I like is that the rock has been lifted and all these professional politicians have been exposed for what they really are.

Well, heck, I had their number YEARS ago. That's why I chose not to vote--how unAmerican, right?? Nope, if I saw no one worthy of my support, I simply didn't follow like a sheep down the line towards the voting booth.

I missed a lot of Active Rain time last week Bill Roberts . I was thinking much of this catching up on news over the weekend. My first thought is how the GOP elite can ignore the will of the people. I do know why but still hard to believe it has not sunk into them yet. What bothers me most if they dont want to vote for Trump, so be it, but why stir the pot with a press conference saying they will not vote for home when they are losing relevance by the day. The one thing i am sure of is we have not seen the end and it will get more interesting and chaotic still.

Scott Godzyk I saw your John Sununu on Fox this mornng. He says he will support the whole Republican ticket, but he still says it is up to Trump to meet the expectations of the the leaders. Oh, really?

The issue as you know is that most do not understand how the political games are played. Trump is playing them all like a puppet. As George Souto commented ... the more they oppose them the more people vote for him.

Thank you Grant Schneider it seemed obvious to me, but I realize most people don't look close enough to see it.

Yes Kathleen Daniels A recent poll has Trump winning in three "key" swing states: Florida, Pennsylvania, And Ohio.

Who would have thought?

And Speaker Ryan still hasn't "committed" himself to Trump. What a jerk.

Many of the lobbyists will be looking for a new day jobs with the changes in Washington . . . . and that will be a good thing.

Good luck and success.
