Or, rather kick-the-can down the road?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Among the presidential candidates, for US presidency to begin 2016, the Republican party has showcased an initial candidate roster that appears to give voters some great options. And they\u2019re welcomed! Among them are very promising elected hopefuls.<br \/>\nThinking back to high school geometry, I think now of the triangle for this blog post: with three points far apart, making up an equilateral triangle&#8230; when all 3 of the points are connected by the straight lines. So too, can candidates claiming to be in the same party, be at very opposite corners &#8211; in terms of strategy, qualification, charisma and more. Let\u2019s look at 3 of the candidates and consider them \u201cpoints\u201d of the triangle. First, Carly Fiorina. She is a business woman from my state of California, with wickedly smart qualifications. Her educational resume is proof of her intellectual training; and despite what her personal enemies have faulted her for &#8211; like corporate decisions resulting in restructuring, she has proven recently that she can be cool when pressed. The second point in my triangle, is New Jersey governor Chris Christie. A self-described professional politician, with a history of successes in budget concerns of his state, he is strikingly unlike Ms. Fiorina. Likely big labor, he is also for budget cutting that could become massive austerity in practice, outspokenly opposed to border reinforcement, and a possible public employee advocate in budgetary priority to it. Perhaps Hillary Clinton considers him her favorite Republican presidential candidate? Then there\u2019s the third point of the triangle; and that is Mr. Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush appears already, to be extremely similar to his brother, which could bring us back to the years under George W. in a slight variation of the same. A sequel to George W., only paralleled most similarly to a future America, if Hillary Clinton assume the presidential sequel to the executive administration we now have; The Bush or Clinton \u201cspecial of the day\u201d. I would point to either of them as a status quo future, with no growth and zero excitement in either case.<br \/>\nAre you seeing what I\u2019m getting at? That\u2019s right! The 3 points make up the Bermuda triangle! Everyone within reach of it\u2019s \u201corb\u201d gets lost forever. Sound harsh and stupid? Do you really want to be the pilot whose flight instruments go haywire as you mysteriously disappear over the ocean?<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re aware that \u201cbig labor\u201d encourages national stagnancy, that business advocates are the most effective and generous group against poverty, that coming out of very costly wars requires business logic, if you\u2019re aware that the Republican who is most pro-labor might also be pro-surveillance and weak on civil rights protections and privacy, then make the clear alternative choice.<br \/>\nPick the candidate that has the freshest, least deceptive, most common sense, proven business success, and down to earth personality that is also both bold and direct. Encourage corporations to continue to be the largest financier of poverty assistance, select the candidate that is not bought out by extremism, the candidate who does not have irrational fears, the candidate who encourages business growth and a most voluminous potential of taxable income. Don\u2019t select one that is bought, doesn\u2019t have a steady hand, or who relies too heavily on his or her advisors. The executive in chief, should be one with very little political experience, respect for constituency, and enough life experience and business know-how to be growth-oriented. That translates into all of our lives with gain. \u201cRepublican\u201d does and should not mean anti-female, but it does mean anti poverty. Poverty is an enemy of Americans that every family feels, and chances out of poverty have to be seized&#8230; while the window of opportunity exists. Because, otherwise we end up with empty promises and recessions, or worse. The truest Republican will not compromise on this point. If he or she is honest with us, he or she cannot afford to compromise on this point or detract from that either.<br \/>\nSo, back to my triangle analogy that I borrowed from my education, the closest of the three \u201cpoints\u201d to such ideal, would be Carly. And she\u2019s a woman also &#8211; how fantastic! She would be the very first! As for those who criticize her time at HP, it may have been a good practice run for bigger time as a president, with great future successes that we as a nation could come to share. But, if you\u2019re a little worried about that possibly failing, and if you\u2019re a little bit more safety-minded like me, then perhaps you\u2019ll think of a different candidate. You got it&#8230; I\u2019m alluding to the \u201ccelebrity candidate\u201d who\u2019s come out destroying the competition. While we\u2019re having to see the finish line so far away, the truth is, that he was the fastest and strongest horse out from the starting point and the real finish line was already crossed. He\u2019s a winner in his own life, and a winner who wants to make America a winning country again. Why mess around with any futile experiments? We don\u2019t have time for experiments. What we can do now, is encourage the Republican party to nominate him and none other, and to not waste any time doing so.<br \/>\nMay God bless our America. And, may God continue to protect all of our good and best interests, keeping all of the candidates safe. Because one of them, will take the heavy honor of serving the American people with honesty, and influencing the world beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among the presidential candidates, for US presidency to begin 2016, the Republican party has showcased an initial candidate roster that appears to give voters some great options.
