Wake Up, América, no permitas que nos arrebaten nuestra libertad!

Los Incidentes de la tarde de ayer en el Pabellón Chicago de la Universidad de Illinois son una clara demostración de hasta dónde la izquierda socialista ha penetrado las universidades de este país.
Los estudiantes se organizaron a través de internet para acudir en masa (erán mas de mil) al Pabellon Chicago para protestar énergicamente en contra de Donald Trump y sus seguidores. El plan orquestado consistía en  crear el caos, el desorden, atacar a los seguidores de Trump gritando improperios de todo tipo, a la vez que enarbolaban pancartas con consignas anti-Trump. El objetivo principal era  impedir que se efectuara el encuentro de Donald Trump con mas de 20 mil de sus seguidores. El plan de los estudiantes fue muy efectivo. Lograron el objetivo y están cantando victoria a través de los medios.
Fue un verdadero acto de repudio, algo que yo pensé que jamás vería en este país. Una tremenda violación al derecho que tenemos todos a la libertad de reunión y de  expresión.
Donald J. Trump está en todo su derecho, como ciudadano y como candidato presidencial a reunirse con un grupo de sus seguidores y expresar libremente sus criterios y proposiciones para resolver los problemas que nos afectan a todos. Este derecho fue violado por un grupo de jóvenes que al parecer, a pesar de su nivel universitario no conocen la Constitución de este país, o si la conocen, actuan ex-profeso e impunemente en contra de ésta.
Creo que esos jóvenes están respondiendo a intereses políticos, sociales y económicos de los grupos anti Trump no solo de izquierda sino también del ala extremista del GOP.
Todos tenemos derecho a la libertad de expresión siempre y cuando este derecho no viole los derechos de otros a expresarse libremente. Los organizadores de la campaña de D. Trump, escogieron el lugar y  la hora del encuentro previo acuerdo con la Universidad y con los simpatizantes de Donald Trump. Ese espacio debió respetarse, no era el lugar para manifestaciones anti Trump.
Mas que una manifestación pasiva, fue un acto de violación, una provocación a todas luces en busca de respuestas violentas. Si no se toman las medidas adecuadas, este acto sentará terribles  precedentes en estas elecciones y las venideras.
Esos muchachos, si querían expresar su repudio a Donald Trump, debieron manifestarse pasivamente en las afueras del Pabellón. Está claro que el objetivo  era crear el caos, provocar la violencia, la indisciplina social, evitar que Donal Trump hablara, callarlo  desafiándolo públicamente y con ello crear un estado de exhaltación, de indignación, de respuesta violenta por parte de los que se sintieron agredidos en sus sagrados derechos de la libertad de expresión y de reunión que nos da la Constitución de este país. Vieja táctica empleada en el mundo entero por parte de la izquierda. Violan los derechos de otros y cuando estos responden entonces se  presentan cómo víctimas. 
Los medios de comunicación y los otros candidatos republicanos: Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, y J. Kasich, inmeditamanete salieron a señalar a Trump como responsable de lo sucedido. Qué pena!


Me pregunto ¿Qué pasará si los seguidores de Donald Trump, cansados de tanta suciedad  nos dedicamos a boicotear los mítines de los otros candidatos usando los mismos métodos de provocación y violación de derechos? ¿O es que acaso por ser cristianos  tenemos que permitir que nos ultrajen descaradamente? Creo que es hora ya de parar esto. Todo acto de repudio o de violación de derechos, tiene sus consecuencias. Las autoridades tienen que jugar su papel o vamos camino a una guerra civil.
Todo tiene un límite. Estados Unidos de América está en peligro.Hoy más que nunca se hace evidente que nos quieren destruir como nación. Esa agenda comenzó hace mas de 20 años. Es responsabilidad de todos los que amamos a este país y estamos en contra del socialismo-comunismo, salir a defender nuestra libertad, en las urnas o en las calles si es preciso.

Distressing story of what happened when Trump Chicago rally was cancelled



Old protest trick. 4-8 police were required to remove each screaming protester, leaving other protesters unattended.

 What really happened at the Chicago rally - My Firsthand Account by ChicagoTrumpAttendee:
At 2:30 p.m., I arrived at the Donald Trump rally located at the UIC pavilion in Chicago, IL. There was light police presence at the Blue Line station, and the pavilion was short walk away. There I waited in line for about an hour until making it to the front doors, going through a security scanner, and finding a seat in the main hall.
For nearly two hours the pavilion filled until it neared capacity. It was clear that protesters were seated around the room, given easily away by their manner of dress. Most of the Trump supporters, being suburbanite or small town white people from outside of Chicago, were dressed strikingly normal—jeans and t-shirts, yoga pants or dresses, and the occasional suit.
The first protestors began around 5:30 when two young white males pulled off their coats to reveal t-shirts with anti-Trump slogans. At this point I noticed the police presence inside the rally was a mere 8 police officers, bolstered with hands-off event staff.
Before 6:00 p.m., a man spoke on the microphone and requested that rally attendees do not touch or harm protesters who interrupt the event. He reminded the protesters that Donald Trump supports the first amendment as much as the second.
Following this was a string of smaller incidents, such as people holding up improvised signs and shouting.
  • One entire bleacher row was filled with protesters and they began chanting and throwing around torn up signs.
  • A few people who began standing up and screaming, and were slowly escorted out by police. The police kept leaving the protesters unattended throughout this, taking 4-8 officers to escort protesters out one at a time.
  • A black man in a black jacket ran up to the front stage, bumped into the podium, and attempted to speak, but was wrestled down by two men in suits. As they escorted him through the crowd, he took a swing at a Trump supporter. The men escorting him were incredibly gentle and restrained themselves from using any force.
Then voice came on and declared that the event was postponed. A few minutes later, they informed us that Trump had landed in Chicago and spoken to Chicago Police officers, and that due to safety concerns, the rally was canceled.
At this point, the protesters began to descend into chaos. Aside from a few mild “TRUMP” and “USA” chants, the Trump supporters were mostly quiet and bewildered as the protesters began to scream, chant, and run around the main floor area in a huge pack, flipping off the rally attendees and swearing at them. There were a few tense altercations between the two groups, but from what I saw at this point, no violence.
The rally was instructed to leave the pavilion, and I have to admit, the Chicago Police messed up bad here.
We walked straight out of the building and into enormous packs of protesters screaming at us, with little police presence to protect the Trump supporters.
Following this, I wandered the protest grounds to see what was going on. My memory is a bit jumbled at this point because I was so pumped up, but let me string together the events as clearly as possible:
  • Many of Trump propaganda signs, most commonly depicting him as Adolf Hitler, but others showing him with a small penis, simple signs of text English and Spanish, signs.
  • Young women shouting anti-white racial epithets.
  • “THE PEOPLE ARE UNITED. WE WILL NOT BE DIVIDED” being shouted at Trump supporters who holed themselves up in a parking garage, quietly fearing for their safety. Another good one by the protesters was “FREEDOM FIRST! FREEDOM FIRST!” Strangely enough, there were a good amount of signs calling for peace and freedom. Lots of peace signs being flashed with the fingers.
  • A single white Trump supporter who held up a sign and stood quietly as three dozen people surrounded him, smiling and screaming, snatching and pushing at him until he had to run for police cover. Someone grabbed his American flag and threw it on the ground and he fought to recover it. The police escorted him away.
  • Two young men, perhaps 17-19, standing quietly as they waited for a ride home. They were wearing their MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN hats, looking terrified as people cursed and swore at them, and occasionally threw furious challenges for debate. The two young men held their ground. Only once did one of those hats come down, and it quickly went back on again.
  • A general atmosphere of pleasure and happiness from the protesters. A common chant was “WE WON!” and “WE STUMPED THE TRUMP!” It honestly felt like a social event for the protesters. There was plenty of mingling
  • Plenty of shouts at Trump protesters that Trump and his supporters are not welcome in Chicago. I challenged one on the first amendment. He said he does not consider himself an American and continued insulting the grizzled old white man he was arguing with.
  • Extremely inefficient police presence. The cops were lined up on their horses or standing behind barricades, but generally were not present where Trump supporters were being hounded and occasionally struck by protesters.
  • The protesters were primarily composed of millennial-aged: white hipsters, African Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims. Some of the protesters were teenagers below voting age.
  • The protesters flew a big set of American, Mexican, and Puerto Rican flags. There were lots of small American and Mexican flags too. *The Trump supporters mostly fled for safety immediately. You have to understand, they were outnumbered by thousands of protesters.
  • There was media presence, but not as much as you’d think. Plenty of areas where chaos was going on had no media nearby. The reporters were mostly getting people to talk to them off to the side where nothing was going on, or focusing ongoing debates between Trump supporters and rally members.
  • A small amount of the protesters were smoking weed. (I have nothing against this personally, just included for accuracy.)
  • Plenty of chants for “BERNIE! BERNIE! BERNIE!” Some Trump supporters looked at each other in bewilderment. “But Bernie Sanders isn’t even running against Donald Trump,” was the common sentiment.
  • Edit: The Trump supporters had a general trust for the police, while the protesters saw their presence as antagonistic. This is especially interesting to me, because as a foreigner and person of color I am generally afraid of police.
Closing statement:
Obviously I did not see everything that occurred as I wandered the protest grounds outside the cancelled Chicago rally. What I did see, however, was fear. Fear from the rally attendees for their immediate safety, and fear of Donald Trump from the protesters.
More than that, I feel that I experienced today, for the first time in my life, true totalitarianism and authoritarianism, expressed laterally from citizen to citizen, in order to silence opinions from being shared. This enforcement was shared through sheer numbers and intimidation, and in a few cases, violence.
People brought their children, loved ones, and friends to attend the Trump rally. I saw an older Asian man and his white wife in attendance, and the looks on their faces when the rally was declared cancelled almost broke my heart. I saw scared children clinging to their parents’ sides as they exited the building to the screams of protesters. I saw a quiet, but excited crowd of Donald Trump supporters get thrown out of Chicago.
Worst of all, I saw the first amendment trampled, spit on, and discarded like trash.
This cannot go on. As I finish this, I feel a sense of utter dread and hopelessness for what is becoming of the youth in this country, particularly those of the regressive left. So polarized has political opinion become, that dissenting thoughts on college campuses are now seen as hateful. These people deal in absolutes. They are right, and whatever means they must take to achieve their ends, they will do it. They will not stop themselves from violence or censorship. They will do it, and they will call hell down upon you if anyone dare does upon them the same.
Tonight I went to the Trump Rally to hear the thoughts of not only the man who was supposed to come and speak, but the people who support him. I found respect. I found calmness. I found peace.
The truth is, I am a legal immigrant, not a US citizen. I am not American. I am not white. I cannot vote.
After tonight, I support Donald Trump.
Lastly, (Link: imgur.com) for anyone who thinks the protesters didn’t incite violence tonight, I offer you this.

Nunca más votaré por Marco Rubio



Nunca Más votaré por Marco Rubio. 
Tengo suficientes razones para ello. Desde que empezó todo el proceso electoral por la presidencia de este país, lo dije bien claro en este blog y en facebook. Desde entonces he recibido ataques de todo tipo, como si yo estuviera obligada a votar por Marco Rubio por el solo hecho de ser cubana.
Ayer por la mañana Marco Rubio estuvo aquí en Tampa. Habló para una audiencia de menos de mil personas, pero al parecer muchas de ellas cubanas que se sintieron comprometidas con la causa ¡¿cubana?!
Lo cierto es que una de esas personas que me conoce personalmente vino a mi casa a convencernos para que votáramos por Marco Rubio. Le dije con toda delicadeza que ya nuestros votos se lo habíamos dado a otros (3 por Ted Cruz y 4 por Donald Trump). La señora se indignó porque ella no podía entender que no votáramos por Marco Rubio. Traté de calmarla, y le di algunas razones entre ellas que Ted Cruz es tan cubano americano como Marcos. La señora pensó que por ese lado podía ablandarnos y me dijo que de todas formas áun estábamos a tiempo para que votáramos por Marco Rubio  usando otras boletas con firmas falsificadas en los sobres. Ahi perdí la paciencia y la boté de la casa.
¿Tanta es la desesperación de los simpatizantes de Marco Rubio en la comunidad cubana de la Florida que están proponiendo a los votantes cometer fraudes? Si lo han hecho no lo sé pero conmigo se equivocaron.
Por si fuera poco hoy, al abrir mi página de Facebook me encuentro un post puesto  por una persona que está haciendo campaña por Marco Rubio. Le respondí con argumentos sólidos, e inmediatamente entraron en pandilla a insultarme.

Pues bien para que a nadie más se le ocurra insinuarme que vote por Marco Rubio aquí les dejo algunas de  mis razones:

Primero 
Marco Rubio no tiene un buen curriculum como senador.
Habla "bonito" repitiendo de memoria  bocadillos aprendidos para cada ocasión, en dependencia del momento y del publico. Suena falso. por que es falso. Jamás ha cumplido con lo que ha prometido en sus campañas políticas. Se aprovechó del Te Party declarándose en contra de la Immigración ilegal, entre otras cosas, para ganar apoyo. Tan pronto llegó al senado ha hecho todo lo contrario.




Segundo:
Marco Rubio ha apoyado  a Barack Hussein Obama en su agenda de desestabilizar al Medio Oriente. Hillary Clinton no es la única culpable de Benghazy. Armaron a un grupo de rebeldes para tumbar al tirano  Gadafy y resultó que esos rebeldes hoy son parte fundamental  del ejército de ISIS.

Tercero:

Marco Rubio como político es totalmente incompetente. .
 Los que hacen campaña a favor de Marco Rubio se equivocan terriblemente. Tratando de imponer sus criterios insultan a los que apoyamos a otros candidatos. A los seguidores de Trump nos han dicho desde ignorantes hasta traidores a la causa de Cuba, como si el Junior Senador Marco Rubio fuera la solución de los problemas de Cuba.

Pudiera llenar páginas escribiendo sobre todos los insultos que he  recibido en los debates en los que honestamente he planteado que mi voto se lo doy a D. J. Trump.
Un buen día descubrí la causa de tantos insultos. Marco Rubio acostumbra a llamarle a los seguidores de Trump, que son la mayoría blanca de la clase media "Basura blanca", analfabetos, marginados, tontos, etc.
  Desde que Jeb Bush se retiró de la carrera por la Casa Blanca, Marco Rubio se ha dedicado a insultar a Donald Trump, atacándolo groseramente, seguiendo las órdenes de los grupos financieros que están pagando sus campaña. Grupos que, por algunas razones, le temen a Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio se ha denigrado tanto que ya lo vemos convertido en el títere de Mitt Romney lidereando un supuesto movimiento anti Trump : Never Trump. Movimiento que deja mucho que desear porque hasta ahora Trump es el front runner del GOP, quien, hasta este momento, ha ganado trece estados mientras Marco sólo ha ganado dos.Competir con él no implica ir en contra de los principios fundamentales que todo partido politico debe respetar: "Ataca al mensaje, no al mensajero y mucho menos a sus seguidores".

 Trump no es un angel, tiene virtudes y defectos como todo ser humano, pero ha logrado catalizar la inconformidad, la frustración, la rebeldía de los republicanos que estamos cansados de la inoperancia del establishment y de todo el sistema. Trump tiene el apoyo de una gran mayoría de electores del partido republicano y de otros partidos. Ha sumado millones de votantes, necesarios e imprescindibles para sacar de la Casa Blanca a la administración demócrata lidereada por Barack Hussein Obama la cual pretende continuar la misma linea con Hillary Clinton.

Trump ha sumado porque ha convencido a sus seguidores con su plan para resolver los principales problemas que están destruyendo a este país, entre ellos el incremento en los últimos años de la immigración ilegal con todos los problemas que está acarrea; el monto de la deuda externa que ya llega a 19 trillones, las causas y efectos de la misma; los défices  financieros generados con los tratados de libre comercio en los que Estados Unidos pierde considerablemente con China, Mexico, Japón, etc, etc

Trump ha denunciado los problemas económicos, sociales, y políticos, incluyendo la seguridad nacional, que nos afectan y  que de continuar por ese rumbo acabarán por destruir a esta gran nación. En su proyecto propone soluciones viables para resolverlos. Como buen comunicar social, Trump convence, por eso muchos le damos todo el apoyo con nuestro voto,  para que pueda ponerlo en práctica si llega a la casa Blanca. (Para conocer las propuestas de Trump visite:
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/)

Si Marco Rubio no está de acuerdo con Trump que lo combata atacando sus propuestas no su personalidad, que dicho sea de paso es mucho más atractiva la personalidad  del billonario que la del pobre senador que le ha vendido el alma la diablo por tal de llegar a la Casa Blanca.

Otras opiniones sobre Marco Rubio

El verdadero Marco Rubio.

Jacinto Descalzo Descalzo
 Pero veamos algunas cosas. Rubio habla en contra de los castro...pero voto a favor del democrata Kerry para secretario de estado. Kerry es la cara del bochornoso tratado con Iran y fue el desagradable individuo democrata que fue a la habana a estrechar la mano de raul Castro. Una cosa es que se promueva el acercamiento entre los ciudadanos de Cuba y estados Unidos. Y otra es que el gobierno de estados unidos (con Kerry a la cabeza visible) inaugure una embajada y reconozca un gobierno tirano de mas de 57 agnos. Rubio voto a favor de Kerry. Ted cruz voto en contra de Kerry. 2- Rubio dice que va a reducir los impuestos, pero no dice UNA PALABRA de como va a hacerlo. Ted CruZ tiene un plan de taxes visible . Eliminacion del pay roll tax. Solo un 10% de tax para las personas. 16% para las empresas. Y las familias no pagan im;puestos al IRS en los primeros 36 mil dolares. Ted Cruz habla de ABOLIr el IRS. Marco Rubio no dice una sola palabra sobre el IRS, porque esa es la policia politica del gobierno, y para eso hay que tener muchos pantalones . POr cierto Trump ni ningun otro candidato habla de abolir el iRS. 3- . DIce "Oponerse a la amnistia my cerrar la frontera" Con ese mensaje y promesa Marco Rubio fue electo senador. pero cuando llego al senado se unio a Obama y Schummer en el llamado Gang de los 8, que prometia amnistia y ciudadania a todos los ilegales. Se eligio prometiendo una cosa. Llego al senado e hizo otra, y ahora dice una cosa u otra, segun el dia que tenga. Ted Cruz se opuso energicamente a darle ciudadania a los ilegales que proponia Rubio, porque la mayoria de esos votos irian a parar al lado democrata. este era el verdadero objetivo de la amnistia que propuso Marco Rubio (intencional o no, eso lo sabe Rubio, no yo). 4- Habla de derogar Obamacare, pero no fue a votar (dos veces) cuando se discutio lo de planned parenthood, que es un asunto vital relacionado con este tema. Un punto importante para los conservadores. Ted Cruz voto las dos veces en contra de Planned Parenthod (una agencia investigada que utiliza dinero de los contribuyentes para cosas turbias).Marco rubio estuvo ausente.. No se trata de votar por alguien porque sea cubano. se trata de votar por el mejor de los candidatos
Ahora mismo Marco Rubio no resultaria electo ni siquiera en la Florida (en las encuestas esta perdiendo con Donald Trump). Por que? Porque los electores conservadores saben todo esto y le han retirado su voto. Como puede Rubio explicar que ni siquiera los electores del estado que lo eligio como senador voten en mayoria por el? Esa es la respuesta. Dice unas cosas. Pero vota por otras. Todo esto es record publico. Pueden ver el record de votaciones de marco Rubio. Tambien pueden ver el de Ted Cruz. Todo eso se puede ver en internet. Ahi se sabe quien es quien.

 More about Marco Rubio;

 Marco Rubio's tactics in attacking Ted Cruz's Senate record on immigration and national defense, among other things, were Alinskyite.  They were and still are simply and demonstrably dishonest.  Yet he persists, knowing full well that by the time the truth catches up with him, if ever, the damage will have been done.  More recently, Rubio and his campaign team have intensified and broadened their Alinskyite tactics, now focusing on the ultimate personal smear -- that Ted Cruz is a serial liar.  Even in this, Rubio is not original.  Of course, Donald Trump has been calling his opponents liars as an almost Tourette's-like response against anyone who reminds him of his past but recent support for leftists and leftist causes, some of whom and which he still embraces.

But Rubio's smears are part of a more deliberative and unrelenting propaganda campaign. They are now at the core of his campaign effort to dislodge Cruz and clear the field against Trump.

Saul Alinksy explained it this way:  “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”  Rubio fancies himself the next Ronald Reagan.  But such self-aggrandizement is unmerited.  He's more Alinsky.  Indeed, it was Reagan who, in his 1966 race for Governor of California, declared: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."  I doubt Reagan would approve of Rubio's campaign of character assassination against Cruz.  In all the years I campaigned for Reagan and worked for his administration, I cannot recall Reagan ever talking about another Republican this way.  Certainly not as a relentless propaganda campaign. 

...when the candidate himself (Rubio) is the source of the Alinskyite tactics, not a staffer acting on his own, that's an entirely different matter.

Rubio, like Trump, has difficulty explaining his past positions.  For Trump, it doesn't seem to matter.  Moreover, Trump's resort to personal attacks can be followed up with evidence of his business accomplishments.  But Rubio has no significant accomplishments other than his election to various public offices.  He has few if any accomplishments outside of politics and virtually no accomplishments in public office as a U.S. senator.  In fact, Rubio's most notorious public act was as a senator, i.e., his leading role in crafting one of the most disastrous immigration bills in modern times, in knowing violation of his pledge to the voters of Florida in his last election.  Not only has Rubio's immigration record gone from anti-amnesty to pro-amnesty to utter incoherence, but the issue of his own integrity is at stake.  Thus, he employs Alinsky's rule and accuses Cruz of what he has actually become.  He now focuses the media on his own accusations rather than his own thin record.

Campaigns are usually tough.  No question about that.  As I write this, Cruz just dropped his communications director for re-tweeting a false tweet.  Perhaps there's more to it.  Trump fired some of his staff early on.  Carson did the same more recently.  But when the candidate himself (Rubio) is the source of the Alinskyite tactics, not a staffer acting on his own, that's an entirely different matter. I had high hopes for Rubio when I was among his earliest supporters against Charlie Crist in Florida.  But I'm deeply disappointed in him, as are many who voted for him.  The growing endorsements for Rubio's presidential candidacy from establishment Republicans, most of whom cannot better articulate his accomplishments than he can, emphasize the point. 

It is not too late for Rubio to reverse course.  But I doubt he will.  Polling in South Carolina shows that he (along with Trump) was successful with this tac

The Conservative Case Against Marco Rubio
John Hawkins | Feb 23, 2016
John Hawkins

  
Marco Rubio may not be a squish on most issues, but it doesn’t change the fact that his Gang-of-8 Amnesty Bill is unforgivable. Nobody would be campaigning harder against Marco Rubio today than Marco Rubio back in 2010 when he desperately needed to convince Tea Partiers he was tough on immigration to get elected. You could write a whole article on how bad Rubio’s bill was (In fact, I did), but let me cut to the chase for you.

A)Rubio’s sell-out on immigration was the biggest betrayal of conservatives since George Bush’s dad said, “Read my lips, no new taxes” and then raised taxes. How do you trust Rubio on any issue after he so blatantly lied on immigration? Rubio running for President today is like Benedict Arnold running for President in 1788.

B) The Gang-of-8 Bill was little more than a Democrat wish list with a couple of bells and whistles slapped on to give cover for squishy Republicans to support it as well. The bill legalized illegals before adding in any kind of security and despite Rubio’s dishonest hype, it would have done little to secure the border. Between giving citizenship to illegal aliens and massive increases in legal immigration, Rubio’s bill would have demographically marginalized conservatism in America.

If Rubio becomes President and implements something like his Gang-of-8 Bill, then liberals will be destined to win in the future on every issue that matters. I’m not someone who believes you win in politics by losing, but it’s entirely possible that 4-8 years of Hillary Clinton decimating the country and stacking the Supreme Court would do far less damage to the country than the immigration plan Marco Rubio would likely implement if he becomes President.

C) Rubio’s excuses for his betrayal are ridiculous. Oh, we have ISIS now; so we have to secure the border. Well, we had Al-Qaeda then. Stopping that terrorist organization from getting across the border wasn’t important? Rubio also claims that he gave the Democrats almost everything they wanted in hopes that the House would improve the bill. In other words, Rubio was willing to turn the Senate bill into little more than Barack Obama’s wish list in hopes that John Boehner of all people would negotiate a tough conservative plan? You’d have to be dumber than Meghan McCain to believe that the same guy who caved every time he went up against Obama was going to come up with a great bill after Rubio made him negotiate from a position of weakness. In actuality, Rubio was hoping the pro-amnesty leadership of the House would ignore the Hastert rule and would push an immigration bill through with a few moderate Republicans and all the Democrats helping out. When a guy shoves a knife in your back that deeply and won’t even come clean about it, how do you trust him?

D) Even today, Rubio fully admits that he wants to give citizenship to illegal aliens – and that’s during a Presidential race. You really think that sounds like someone who is going to get tough on illegal immigration or build a wall if he gets elected? Keep in mind that if Rubio becomes President and is perfect in every other way, but is lying on illegal immigration again, it means the end of the conservative movement in America. Choosing him as our nominee would be like playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber.

Of course, the Republicans in the establishment are happy to play that game and have decided that “Lil Jeb” is their chosen candidate. In large part, that’s because they expect him to betray conservatives on amnesty again, but it’s also because they don’t believe Rubio will shake things up too much. They don’t think he’ll roll back Obamacare, they don’t think he’ll kick any connected consultants off the gravy train, they don’t believe he’ll listen to those “wackobirds” that John McCain hates so much. After the most radical President in American history has stomped all over the Constitution for 8 years to drag the country to the Left, is it worth risking the country on someone backed by the establishment Republicans because they believe he’s a go-along-to-get-along status quo candidate?

Oh, but the establishment Republicans say Rubio is the most electable candidate. Of course, that’s what they always say about whoever their golden boy happens to be. It’s what they said about Dole, McCain and Romney. They were wrong about them and they’re wrong about Rubio, too.

Don’t get the wrong idea. Rubio could certainly win, but he probably wouldn’t be as electable as Cruz or God help us all, even Kasich despite his solid head-to-head numbers against Hillary.

Why?

Keep in mind that Rubio can’t win a general election unless he gets the support of the 30-35% of GOP voters that currently support Donald Trump. Do you really think that after supporting Trump for months, those voters are going to fall in line behind an establishment candidate who is best known for betraying the people who supported him to push amnesty and open borders? Moreover, consider the fact that 60% of GOP voters have consistently been going for the outsider candidates (Trump, Cruz and Carson). Do you really think all those people are going to shrug off this entire crazy primary season and eat the same old crap sandwich from the establishment again?

Beyond that, although Rubio is generally a solid debater, he turned in one of the worst debate performances anyone has seen with his “Robot Rubio” performance. What if it happens again in a general election debate? He’s also generally very scripted, inauthentic and his pathetic non-response to every genuine attack on his record is , “That’s a lie.” Furthermore, maybe we should consider the fact that a candidate who wants the NSA to snoop on our phone records, showed terrible judgment in supporting the overthrow of Libya and who comes off like he can’t wait to get in another ground war in the Middle East isn’t going to be wildly popular with the American electorate in 2016.
It has been an unpredictable election season and we still don’t know who the GOP nominee will be. However, if it turns out to be a guy who did the same thing to conservatives on immigration that Jane Fonda did to the troops during Vietnam, the Republican Party will richly deserve to lose.

Healthcare Reforma to Make America Great Again

 
 Since March of 2010, the American people have had to suffer under the incredible economic burden of the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare. This legislation, passed by totally partisan votes in the House and Senate and signed into law by the most divisive and partisan President in American history, has tragically but predictably resulted in runaway costs, websites that don’t work, greater rationing of care, higher premiums, less competition and fewer choices. Obamacare has raised the economic uncertainty of every single person residing in this country. As it appears Obamacare is certain to collapse of its own weight, the damage done by the Democrats and President Obama, and abetted by the Supreme Court, will be difficult to repair unless the next President and a Republican congress lead the effort to bring much-needed free market reforms to the healthcare industry.
But none of these positive reforms can be accomplished without Obamacare repeal. On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare.
However, it is not enough to simply repeal this terrible legislation. We will work with Congress to make sure we have a series of reforms ready for implementation that follow free market principles and that will restore economic freedom and certainty to everyone in this country. By following free market principles and working together to create sound public policy that will broaden healthcare access, make healthcare more affordable and improve the quality of the care available to all Americans.
Any reform effort must begin with Congress. Since Obamacare became law, conservative Republicans have been offering reforms that can be delivered individually or as part of more comprehensive reform efforts. In the remaining sections of this policy paper, several reforms will be offered that should be considered by Congress so that on the first day of the Trump Administration, we can start the process of restoring faith in government and economic liberty to the people.
Congress must act. Our elected representatives in the House and Senate must:
  1. Completely repeal Obamacare. Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.
  2. Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.
  3. Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system. Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions? As we allow the free market to provide insurance coverage opportunities to companies and individuals, we must also make sure that no one slips through the cracks simply because they cannot afford insurance. We must review basic options for Medicaid and work with states to ensure that those who want healthcare coverage can have it.
  4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Contributions into HSAs should be tax-free and should be allowed to accumulate. These accounts would become part of the estate of the individual and could be passed on to heirs without fear of any death penalty. These plans should be particularly attractive to young people who are healthy and can afford high-deductible insurance plans. These funds can be used by any member of a family without penalty. The flexibility and security provided by HSAs will be of great benefit to all who participate.
  5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals. Individuals should be able to shop to find the best prices for procedures, exams or any other medical-related procedure.
  6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. Nearly every state already offers benefits beyond what is required in the current Medicaid structure. The state governments know their people best and can manage the administration of Medicaid far better without federal overhead. States will have the incentives to seek out and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse to preserve our precious resources.
  7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.
The reforms outlined above will lower healthcare costs for all Americans. They are simply a place to start. There are other reforms that might be considered if they serve to lower costs, remove uncertainty and provide financial security for all Americans. And we must also take actions in other policy areas to lower healthcare costs and burdens. Enforcing immigration laws, eliminating fraud and waste and energizing our economy will relieve the economic pressures felt by every American. It is the moral responsibility of a nation’s government to do what is best for the people and what is in the interest of securing the future of the nation.
Providing healthcare to illegal immigrants costs us some $11 billion annually. If we were to simply enforce the current immigration laws and restrict the unbridled granting of visas to this country, we could relieve healthcare cost pressures on state and local governments.
To reduce the number of individuals needing access to programs like Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program we will need to install programs that grow the economy and bring capital and jobs back to America. The best social program has always been a job – and taking care of our economy will go a long way towards reducing our dependence on public health programs.
Finally, we need to reform our mental health programs and institutions in this country. Families, without the ability to get the information needed to help those who are ailing, are too often not given the tools to help their loved ones. There are promising reforms being developed in Congress that should receive bi-partisan support.
To reform healthcare in America, we need a President who has the leadership skills, will and courage to engage the American people and convince Congress to do what is best for the country. These straightforward reforms, along with many others I have proposed throughout my campaign, will ensure that together we will Make America Great Again.
