Presidential Candidates May Make 'Phony' Campaign Promises

With the lawyers attacking Donald Trump in and out of the debates and establishment Republicans calling Donald Trump a 'fraud' and a 'phony' it is worth recalling that it is politicians themselves making the claims, and politicians habitually make phony and fraudulent campaign promises. The disingenuous insinuation of political veracity of the accusatory candidates makes for a chuckle.

Candidate Trump standing amidst two lawyers that are professional arguers and polemicists too in a sense enjoys an experience something like being attacked from two pit bulls while riding a bike with them biting at each foot, and Trump has the prospect of the Democrats lawyer team of the Clintons ahead. It is somewhat amazing to me that he can actually enjoy the challenge.

Yet as serious as are sins of commission in making false campaign promises are, equally bad are the sins of omissions such as candidate Obama made in concealing his willingness to legalize homosexual marriage. If he had made that known in 2008 it is doubtful that he would have been elected, and neither would Hillary Clinton have replaced Obama since she too supports the abomination.

I should explain that I have heard a couple of jokes recently. One is the perennial one of 'What is the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is heavy and the other a little lighter'. The other joke was on the radio. it was reported that a school board candidate believes President Obama was a homosexual prostitute in his 20's. In order to earn some extra cash I would guess. Yet I wonder where people gt that kind of idea or if it is just made up out of thin air.

Iit may be that most candidates are so daft rather than disingenuous that they have no idea about the potential for implementing policies that will cost unforseeen trillions. Such guesswork and blindness to national economic situations is considerable it seems.

I especially like the idea that the candidates other than Trump are competent on foreign policy. They may be able to tell Botswana from Argentina or Peru from Canada, yet they generally support incompetent Middle Eastern policy and Ukraine policy too that costs the nation a lot and Europe too in lost potential. None have solid Mexico policy that would stop all illegal immigration yet help develop Mexico quickly with a green and sustainable economic assistance and full employment policy. Instead they seem to prefer the decadent (literally) policy of corruption.
