United Independent Coalition of America

Prior to the February 6th Republican debate, I did not think Kasich had much of a chance of making an impression. Though I admired his positivity and his willingness to compromise with the other side. I think he really is the "best of the worst." He is an establishment candidate, a key member of the contingent of Congress who helped create a balanced budget in the late 1990s. He has apparently been a fairly strong governor in Ohio since his election in 2010. Unlike Trump, who thrives on negativity, insults and ignorance. Kasich really wants to create a vision of America that works for everyone. I disagree with his positions on many things about how to get there but I would be way more comfortable if he were to win the nomination and presidency. At this juncture, it is very uncertain which Democratic candidate will win the nomination as both are campaigning fiercely. Sanders has won New Hampshire and lost by a very close 0.2% in Iowa. Kasich has stated that if Sanders won ...

The general election is still nine months away and the field remains relatively open. I have predicted the outcomes of both the Democratic and Republican races to the best of my ability. My predictions left me with the idea that if Marco Rubio were to end up the final nominee and successfully defeat Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders, the final result may end up being a Rubio presidency? Is America ready for that? In a phrase. I don't think so. 2016 Marco Rubio is the son of Cuban immigrants and the first presidential nominee born in the 1970s. At age 45, he would be the youngest person since Kennedy, as he took office at 43. Rubio is young, ethnic and handsome. He is imbued with a sense of enthusiasm and optimism not seen in a presidential candidate since Barack Obama in 2008. In some ways, he is very much the Republican Obama. Rubio's website dubs his campaign one that will help create "a new American century." He plays to the sensibilities of the many Am...

This post will be shorter than my previous one regarding the Republican race. Shortly before the end of the Iowa caucus, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley announced that he would be suspending his campaign. In so doing, he helped solidify the idea that the Democratic race was a two-person contest. O'Malley struggled to gain traction among Democrats as the party was split among two different approaches with no gray in-between. The Iowa caucus ended in a "virtual tie" between Clinton and Sanders, something many commentators and pundits were surprised would happen. Much debate continued as to who the real winner was in Iowa and the truth is, if you support Clinton or Sanders, you say your respective sides were the winners. The race turns to New Hampshire next week, where Sanders is polling way ahead of Clinton, a win in New Hampshire would help make this race a true contest. Many Clinton supporters deny the success that Sanders has accomplished by coming as close to h...

This morning, Republican candidate Kentucky Senator Rand Paul dropped out the race for the nomination. Which gave me an idea about where this election is headed. Here is a few points, as follows: I wonder why the almost non-existent candidacy of Govenor Jim Gilmore exists or why Senator Rick Santorum who only registered to quality to the "kids table" during the debates, are still in the race. I would expect after the results in Iowa that they would drop out. I think that their absolute maximum spotlight in this race will fade after another dismal performance in New Hampshire. After that, I expect they and a slew of other candidates drop out in rapid succession. So after the results of the New Hampshire primary, I expect to see all three "establishment" governors suspend their campaigns: former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Ohio Governor John Kasich. The loss of Bush may add to Trump's narrative that he can "win."...

Martin O'Malley is more than just another handsome older white guy. He is another white guy running for the presidency of the United States and the only Catholic running with the Democrats. O'Malley is also the only person with recent executive power. He was governor of the state of Maryland for eight years, as well as Mayor of Baltimore. The history of racial issues in the state of Maryland has somewhat shaded his presidential bid, creating a perceived inaction on his part to better the lives of African-Americans in the city. He signed a law allowing illegal immigrant children eligible for in-state college tuition. His other liberal bona fides continues as he legalized same sex marriage among many other subjects. The only major issue with Mr. O'Malley is that he is too faceless. No one could spot him in a crowd. He doesn't feel unique and he doesn't feel like he is any different from any other white candidate. The only way O'Malley could potentially win the ...
