Hello Aaron,

>LL>Donald Trump just makes stuff up on the fly and pretends it is
>LL>right.  And then repeats the lie over and over again until everybody

>Not once have I ever felt cheated by a Republican in office;

We had Piyush "Bobby" Jindal as governor, who gave away free money
to a private group of individuals to put on a country music festival
at LSU football stadium.  That was a cheat.  This private group of
individuals walked away with $1 million of state funds to put on
a show in which they made a *profit* of over $50 million.  That was
after costs and expenses.  They came back to Jindal, year after
year, always asking for more state funds to put on their show -
their "threat" being to take their show elsewhere.  You know what
I call that?  Extortion.  Government should not be in the business
of funding private business.

>but I have been betrayed by Obama(D),

GWB lied us into a war with Iraq.  An unnecessary war.  How many
American lives were lost in that endeavor?  And to think we are still
there, stuck in Iraq, to this very day.

>lied to by my state assemblywoman(D),

It could be all your fault.  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
And if you did what she thought you did, you are toast.  Believe me,
you are toast.

>punished by my governor(D),

You are lucky not to have been on the other end of his twin brother.

>tortured by a family court judge(D),

All your fault.  Shoulda declared bankruptcy long before going there.
That way, plenty of nothin' still amounts to nothin' at all.  But no.
You got greedy.  And got left with nothin' ...

Billy Preston had it right long ago.  Nothin' from
nothin' is nothin'.  You gotta have somethin' ...

>and threatened by all these democratic presidential candidates(Ds) who are

Mike Bloomberg is a Republican turned Independent turned Democrat
turned whatever he becomes next.  No telling what his position might
be from one day to the next.  Joe Biden is for Obamacare with an
upgrade, namely Obamacare plus a public option.  Amy Klobuchar has
basically the same position.  Pete Buttigieg is trying to have it
both ways, saying he is both for and against Obamacare, while also
being both for and against Medicare for All.  Elizabeth Warren used
to be for Medicare for All, but has changed her position to Medicare
not yet for All.  Bernie Sanders has always been Medicare for All
in the Whole Wide World.

Bill Gates is for open borders, but I have no idea what his party
affiliation is or might be.  He says those who are able to find
jobs will stay, and those who are unable to find jobs will return
to wherever they came from.  And all will be fine.

Of course, it is only natural that every criminal in the world
should be released, thus saving the state the cost of housing and
feeding them and providing health care for them, etc.  This would
also be a boon for gun manufacturers, who are running out of folks
to sell guns to.

Cajuns eat crawfish, especially during Mardi Gras.  Kind of
like tiny lobsters, only better.  Anyway, an easy way to solve
the problem of a president who is a self-admitted sexual
predator is to elect an openly gay man as president.  That
would definitely solve the problem of having a president who
likes to grab women where the sun don't shine.

OTOH, I am not sure I would want to be standing next to him
at a public urinal during a football game ...

Donald Trump is not going to receive many black votes this November.
Even though he has the money, their votes cannot be bought.  In order
to win their vote, a candidate has to kneel.  And trust me, he will
never take a knee when the national anthem is being played.

>LL>A large segment of the population in South Carolina is African
>LL>American.  Without strong support from African Americans, a candidate
>LL>has no realistic chance of winning.

Obama understood black folks better than they understood themselves.
He knew what they wanted because he was one of them.  Everything ought
to be free.  Not just some things.  And not just for white people.  It
had to be everything.  Especially for blacks.  After all, it is blacks
who built this country.  The very buildings the Congress meets in.
Black folks should be rewarded for everything they have done for this
country.  From the moment they arrived on our shores.

>Have you ever noticed that Republicans don't do that? Republicans want to
> appeal to ALL americans - not just the ones they need votes from!

How can Republicans expect blacks to vote for them if they continue
to vote against their interests?  If Republicans want black support,
they will have to earn it.

>And many of them, Trump included, don't just want to appeal to niche races
> of people, they actually want to help people.

That may be true of Republicans (in general).  But today, there
are no more Republicans (with the possible exception of Mitt Romney).
What we have today is a group of former Republicans who are now part
of a cult.  A cult of personality.  That personality being Donald
J. Trump.  They will do whatever monkey says.

>You're trying to have a pleasant dip in the pool, but you're swimming with
> alligators, mosquitoes, and other harmful creatures!

Donald J. Trump made a campaign promise to "drain the swamp".
Today he is up to his elbows with alligators.  Absolutely refuses
to get rid of those with special interests.  Big Business can do
whatever it wants, with no oversight.  The environment doesn't
matter, as regulations have been overturned.  It is business as
usual, just like old times, for this president.

>Help us out Lee - vote Republican.

I had a choice, years ago, in an election for governor of Louisiana.

The Republican candidate, David Duke, was a racist.
The Democratic candidate, Edwin Edwards, was a crook.
The incumbent Republican candidate, Buddy Roemer, had
lost in the first primary, so was not in the runoff.

I voted for the crook.

Even had a bumper sticker on my car -

Vote for the crook - it's important.

Not that it mattered.

Both candidates wound up going to jail.

But at least Edwards won his fourth (and last) term in office
as governor, rather than the other crook, who had served one term
as state representative.

>That way you share in the joy of helping others, and yourself.

Unfortunately, it does not look likely that Bill Weld will
win the Republican nomination for president.
