Lack of leadership for the Republican Party will lead to the ultimate destruction of the party. On one side you have Trump continuing with his now legendary attacks on his adversaries, Cruz and Kasich, while each one of them continues to attack him back. Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refuses to support Trump, while the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, is not willing to take a political path for the party. Former candidate Rubio is now supporting Cruz, same as Senator Lindsey Graham, and Kasich and Cruz both believe the other one should drop put. All they can agree on is that they all rather see Trump disappear.

Regardless of how you feel about Donald Trump, you have to admit that the man is a marketing machine. Who else could get away with insulting others, providing little details about policies, and not having a good idea of what is happening within the political arena? Donald Trump has, and uPolitico believes that he will continue to do so. We believe that Chuck Todd did a good job asking some good questions on Meet the Press on August 16, 2015 from Donald Trump, but such type of questions need to continue from the press, so we can become better informed voters.
Just a week ago, we at uPolitico believed that Donald Trump did not have a chance to succeed. Although we are not at the point that we believe that he will be the Republican nominee, we do believe that he will continue to poll well, and that many people are taking a second look at Trump, as a possible candidate.

It is hard for me to come to terms that we will forced to elect our Washington officials in just a few weeks. Whom should we trust? The Democrats? The Republicans? How about those who claim to be Independents? Finally, what about the “Tea Party”? We, as voters, really need to take our time deciding who would represent us the best in Washington. I will give you a few things I will be considering.

The immigration issue has become a “hot potato” with politicians, and federal and state governments. Border security, quotas, terrorism, human rights, and many other terms and events revolve around the term “illegal immigrant.” However, we cannot address the issue without having adequate policies that will address the needs of the industries, which depend on the skills that illegal immigrants bring, while managing our national security. Providing a system that will establish a reliable level of control over who is in the country, and knowing their immigration status, is a critical and reasonable demand of those of us who live in the US. First, we must try to understand the issue.

Since the inception of 24 hours news networks, we have become accustomed to instant news, opinions, and many times, worthless propaganda. There are clear differences between the three large networks: CNN, FOX, and MSNBC. I believe that all three of them have an agenda and have a lock on a particular market. As I see it, the biggest problem is that some of the biggest “stars” on each network are more concerned about spreading their propaganda, instead of reporting the news. So let me give you my opinion on these networks.

Wow – Was there an exciting day in the House of Representatives or what? Congressman Weiner (D-NY) ripped apart Republicans who did not vote for a bill to provide health care for the 9/11 first responders. “It’s Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes,” Weiner said. “It is a shame. A shame! If you believe this is a bad idea to provide health care–then vote no! But don’t give me the cowardly view that ‘Oh if it was a different procedure’…”, according to CNN’s website. But, is this as one sided issue as it appears?

So, what happened to the oil? Faster than it went off the well, the oil disappeared of the Gulf of Mexico. Within a week, things in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida look a lot better. The World’s Most Beautiful Beaches of Panama City Beach are full of tourists and things turned out much better than it was predicted. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, local news, etc., they are all happy and celebrating our cleaner waters. So what happened?

How is it possible that the richest and more powerful country in the world cannot find a way to obtain better results in our schools? I believe that politics and the misappropriation of funds have much to do with it. President after president always makes education a priority during their campaign, however, once in office, other “more popular” issues become a priority for those in office. I believe that we, as voters, also carry the blame as we fail, year after year, to hold our elective officials responsible for false promises.

Perhaps the hottest issue in the news now is that of the new proposed immigration law in Arizona. As of right now, it looks like the debate will continue as the appeal process is likely to reach the Supreme Court. As I try to keep up with this issue, I often wonder whether we Americans understand the possible ramifications if this law is to pass, or whether we understand whether the law is too vague, and if it could open the door wide open for people who may have alternate motives when enforcing the law.
