Here are my top five candidates for the Presidential
Election as of now. Once the debates
happen, I’ll obviously have to update it since that’s the best way to compare
candidates and see who stands out in the pack.
This list is in no special order.
Rubio is a Cuban American from Florida. Why does that matter? Like my family who came to the U.S. to flee
socialism/communism, his family did the same.
Right now we need a President who understands the dangers of a socialist
country and how under socialism, everyone is not free or created equal like the
taglines promise.
He also has a modern view of marriage. As he stated in the past, “I don’t believe
same sex marriage is a constitutional right.
I also don’t believe that sexual preferences are a choice for the vast
majority of people. In fact I believe
that the bottom line is that sexual preference is a thing that people are born
with.” This is a federalist approach,
which I am in favor of since marriage (whether, your gay or straight) is not a
constitutional right. Therefore, the
states should regulate marriage not the Federal government. So, if a state wants to grant same sex
marriage then they have the right, and vice versa.
In addition, he is pro-life and also believes that the second
amendment has to do with one’s right to protect himself/herself. In relation to immigration, he’s shown he’s
capable of compromise and that he can work with both Democrats and
Republicans. In all he’s shown that he
is a person who is capable of bringing people together rather than polarizing
them like this current administration.
OMG, have you been watching her in interviews, she is
amazing and can hold her own when asked difficult questions. She is definitely a strong competitor. Fiorina has been having a difficult time
lately being compared to Hillary. I
think she’s proven that having a title itself means absolutely nothing if your
not capable of doing anything with it; something Hillary Clinton is known to
do. Like really... ask your democratic
friends what the she or the Clinton’s have done for this country and they’ll
give you a blank stare because the answer is NOTHING.
Fiorina was also a rock star businesswoman (a former CEO of
HP) and is a cancer survivor. Mix the
two together and you have someone who’s a fighter and not willing to make
excuses, or take no for an answer. I
realize she’s come under fire since she didn’t hold her CEO title with HP for a
really long time. The reason was the
company was taking an unethical turn and she spoke up against it. That’s a person we need, someone who isn’t
willing to take BS or participate in corruption. Considering how corrupt our current
administration is, she’s the gal who can press the reset button.
Walker has been dubbed the average guy. He grew up in a small town and was the son of
a pastor. He also didn’t graduate from
college like most Americans, so he can relate.
Some see this as a negative since he dropped out of college, but the
thing is, Walker left college to pursue his dream job. Like he’s mentioned himself.... most people
go to college to get their dream job.
So, when he was given his opportunity early, he wasn’t going to let it
go.
Because of his roots, he has worked to provide more jobs and
realizes that unemployment is still a big issue in this country despite what
Obama supporters might think. The
reality is that once people get comfortable living off of unemployment or
welfare, it’s so hard to get them back on track. I mean who would want to fish for themselves
if someone else is handing out free fish.
In addition, he also wants to reduce the tax burden on
American’s. Despite what limousine
liberals think, their tax laws hurt the middle class the most and actually
create more poverty than take people out of poverty.
Ben Carson is a bit of a wild card. Everything depends on how well he hold up in
the debates since some say he may not be election ready just yet. He doesn’t have experience in politics, but
as he’s joked... it can’t be as hard as brain surgery. As a former neurosurgeon, a very very
successful one at that (winning multiple awards and titles), he can joke about
it.
Like Walker, the Doctor is an average guy who climbed his
way to success, and doesn’t that mean something? He’s not like the Clintons who pretend to
come from humble beginnings, rather he’s a make no excuses kind of person.
Regardless of whether or not he actually makes it to the
Presidential seat, he has great ideas for Health Care Reform, and wants to get
rid of the old archaic (and socialist) Affordable Care act. He offers a new modern idea... Health Savings
Accounts (HSA’s). What an idea, I mean
don’t we all complain about insurance companies? They’re great sometimes, but the idea of saving
your money for your health is something I know I’ve wanted for years. HAS’s are not necessarily new, but many
people don’t know that they can save money for their health. Right now if you tried to use a HAS instead
of insurance you’d still get stuck with Obama’s penalty tax. But in general, I think this idea is great
because this account would be an investment, you wouldn’t lose the money you
put in like you do with insurance. With
insurance you pay for a service and once you trade companies all the money you
put in is lost regardless if you used it or not.
Another important issue he wants to remedy is the
polarization in our country regarding race.
In our current social climate we hear things like “white privilege” and
“black lives matter.” Well black lives
do matter, in fact all lives matter, but considering how our society keeps
focusing on our differences, we are only pulled farther apart. We need start focusing on our similarities
and get closer to loving one another again.
Known as the “cool” candidate, Paul wants to have dramatic
tax reform. That means getting rid of
the workers tax so everyone keeps more of their money, and setting a fixed tax
on all businesses. All business will pay
the same amount of tax. There also will
not be any tax breaks. In other words,
big corporate companies will donate money because it’s the right thing to do,
not because they’ll get a tax break from doing so.
Another great idea he has is to audit the Fed. An audit will allow Americans to see how
money is being spent. This is something
that NEEDs to be done since there is so much wasteful spending that goes on,
but rather than reducing our spending democrats keep fighting to increase it. It’s kinda like having that gym membership
that gets deducted from your monthly paycheck that you never use, except we’re
talking about billions. Sometimes, you
need take the time to look at the numbers and reduce your expenses no matter
how boring it is to look at numbers, and that is what the Fed needs to do.
He’s also against excessive government regulation. Our government has been on a downward spiral
of government regulation starting with the New Deal era. Because of FDR, democrats have been able to
regulate the amount of farms we have, how much they grow, and how much their
products get sold. Obviously it’s not
just limited to crops, but basically EVERYTHING is regulated by the
government. This is unconstitutional
since not EVERYTHING the government regulates it within Congress’s power to
regulate. By cutting back on government
regulation, we’ll have more competition and cheaper prices... a win for all
Americans.
