CONSERVATIVES: Be wary of Trump. My thoughts as well, though I'm still giving Trump serious consideration. My personal choice is still Carly Fiorina, though it's increasingly clear that she hasn't caught on.

The Republican 'establishment candidates' are non-starters in my mind.
LOBBYISTS AND LOBBYS: First, Amazon ($9M) and Uber ($470K), then Boeing ($21.9M), Lockheed Martin ($13.7M), Northrup-Grumman ($12.3M), United Technologies (11.3M), General Dynamics ($10.3M), and Raytheon ($5.8M).

All are significantly higher than previous years, typically by a factor of two. Does anyone seriously think these companies would spend so much if they weren't trying to protect themselves from government? [Nice little company you've got here; too bad if something were to happen to it....]
MEDIA MISSES AGAIN: Palin press mockery failed to recognize that she was quoting from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

The media is well-versed in liberal cant; outside their bubble, not so much. With respect to the liberal press (I repeat myself), a Reagan paraphrase is appropriate: "Mistrust, then verify."
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION pushes 'Youth Misery Index' to all-time high. Any wonder why millenials are abandoning Obama Hillary in droves?
