Maybe not Bush, but Walker is a gonner!

So I think we are back to 2012 at the time of the last Presidential primary when a "cycle" of bozo and unprepared circulated as the "candidate of choice" as the GOP crowd favorite "Republican candidate to the presidency".  It seems that Mrs Fiorina has jumped from around 3% to 15%, ahead of "I am falling asleep" Carson who is just ahead of Rubio.

Now Mr Trump seems to have sunk from 32% support last week to 24% this week -- could this be the sign that the GOP establishment has been hoping for; the end of the Trump nightmare?  At the last CNN 3 hours marathon debate she was poling around 3% -- so she's now #2 in the race at 15%.   Mr. Bush the favorite of the neo-con wing (also favorite of the Roosevelt Republicans) is nowhere to be seen (sitting around 9%) in 5th place.  He's apparently sitting on more than $100 million -- so he will not rush for the exit, but its got to be somewhat dispiriting to be with the also ran.

It also brings hope that if Carson is replaced with Fiorina than the 30 days cycle is now in replay mode from 4 years ago.  It gives some hope to the guys sitting at the bottom of the ladder that one day it will be their day.  The preeminence of Carson, Trump and Fiorina is a strange outcome, and it is more telling of the GOP troubles than anything about the outcome of this race.  All three have zero executive experience in government.  The first guy who's ever run public office is Rubio who polls at 9%; many suspect that he may pick up steam -- especially away from Bush as the two guys from Florida battle it out.

The cycle of candidates at the top of the heap (with Trump lording over everyone around) There are good odds now that Fiorina will do well for a while and then her weakness (to GOP voters -- e.g. she's a women) will outshine her "new car" smell that she has now. It speaks loudly to GOP's own troubles than about the candidates and much more about the GOP political climat that seems to be toxic to anyone who has ever held elected office (Rubio being the one exception)

The biggest loser is Scott Walker who went from 20%, to 15%, 12% 8% 5% and now 1% support. His collapse has been rather stark and has to do with being out-crazied by both Trump and Carson and then going Full Retard with negative results -- I mean even the most rabid minutemen don't take the treat of Canada seriously.  Trying to out-crazy he lost, and his lack of understanding of major issue (plus pissing on his base back home) just made matters worse.  I believe that after Perry, Mr Walker will be the next to exit stage right!

Could not happen to a more deserving guy!  He's be unspeakable for months now he can get back to Wisconsin cheese steak sandwich  (really not a delicacy)

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
