OBJECTIVES MATTER

The hard right and the political outsiders seem to have taken a dim view of “the Donald’s” efforts to kiss and make up.  In their perspective, they view it as more of a kiss up.  I totally understand how they could be having a minor snit fit.  I might ask them to get serious about what goal or goals they would like to accomplish this election cycle.  I have to commend Mr. Trump for coming back to the true success principle of management by objective.  It serves no good purpose to stand on a soap box supported by hot air.  In order for any of that exercise to be meaningful, the objective is simple and succinct.  Win.  Without the win all other goals evaporate.

One of the reasons I support Mr. Trump is his business experience and his success in that field.  Those matter to my view of the messed up economy, jobs, GDP, debt and taxation.  His win matters to me because his nature is to succeed and he completes what he sets out to do.  An example of good business practice is that of recognizing your market, tapping into what works, avoiding pitfalls and providing the right goods and services.  Another good business practice is minimizing your competition by outperforming, by incorporating and by defeating them in open market.  That is what this last olive branch is intended to accomplish.  Mr. Trump is smart enough to listen and learn from the experience he surrounds himself with and to incorporate opposition into the fold.

We are in the finals and we need to clear all the hurdles.  We need to keep the objective in focus.  We need to get it through our heads, past all of our doubts, our disagreement and our mistrust that without unity we are too weak to win.  

Some look at Mr. Trump’s ego as being a drawback, not as what it really is a motivator to his success.  At this point, our wish list is firmly reliant upon that success.  

His use of our country’s laws regarding taxes, bankruptcy and labor has also brought some gnashing of teeth and grimaces, viewed as another drawback.  Once again reasons to fear are not so.  In his use of the rules he answered to whom and what his responsibility and agreement demanded.  We can expect no less when he tells us he is on our side, and he is for all Americans.  I trust in his history of adhering to his promises, his agreements and his ability to know what it takes to reach a goal.

What you need to know is what objectives you have when it comes to voting.  What goals do you want our next President to fight for?  What you would like to see fixed (excepting the election of course).  Which candidate you know will not help you gain the majority of your wish list and which one will.  Winning the battle and losing the war is not an option.  Winning both the battle and the war is the objective, help don’t hinder.

Pray for your country.  Pray for discernment. 

God bless our country.
