I always had to stop and laugh when Rush would say, “I'm your host, Rush Limbaugh, with half my brain tied behind my back - just to make it fair,” because I knew exactly what he meant. He truly was blessed with superior intellect, applied it every waking minute and appreciated how that mental dexterity helped form the foundation for his extraordinary career.

What Rush realized early on was that the vast majority of individuals either don’t possess or don’t apply significant intellect as often required. Those not possessing capabilities are of course limited by nature while those not applying inherent acuity choose to intellectually restrict themselves.

While certainly not in Rush’s category by any means, I rose to the highest level of my own chosen career, eventually authoring Selling Equipment Leasing a text endorsed by industry leadership to be of significant value.

The text itself is a primer predicated upon forty years or so of substantial individual sales production, eventually leading to management of a national staff of 125 sales-people operating from 26 offices across the nation and producing half a billion dollars in annual sales. Far and away the best and most successful operation of its type that ever existed.

And when all is said and done, what was the most important “secret” to sales success throughout? Obtaining a complete and thorough understanding of how your product or service works and being absolutely certain that your employer can and will deliver exactly what you sell.

For knowledgeable salespeople, superior sales production itself is nothing more than transmitting information about available products or services to as many “prospects” as possible. And then, following up to make sure customers receive what they bought and are satisfied with their purchase. Problems only arise when buyers don’t get exactly what they purchased or delivery is somehow or other different than what was expected.

And there in a couple of sentences rests the dilemma of today’s Democrat party. They have nothing of true value to sell to any voter beyond a relatively small group of needy individuals along with a population of outcasts and ne'er-do-wells. Then, beyond product lack for the majority, what is eventually delivered is not only nothing like what was “sold”, it doesn’t perform in any way, shape or form as to what was promised.

Product problems arise to the frequency and extent of requiring the “Sales Manager” Biden to spend almost all of his time explaining why his solutions were incorrect,  inadequate or flat-out wrong. And then, when faced with customer disappointment instead of making any kind of attempt to fix whatever problem arose, every effort is made to explain that the failure is or was someone’s else’s fault.

As gasoline costs constituents twice what it did before he took office, rising prices are blamed on war in Ukraine,  greedy gas station owners and other “profiteers,” along with unused land leases and licenses going to waste. Plain and simply however, Biden’s first official act was to cancel the Keystone pipeline along with a host of similar projects.

While Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, testifies before Congress that the southern border is “secure,” the current level of illegal border crossings is estimated to be 12,000 per day.

With inflation estimated at an average of 8% or more, then White House press secretary Jen Psaki tried to defend a White House tweet boasting how President Biden's economic policies would be saving Americans $0.16 cents on traditional items for a Fourth of July barbecue.

From issue to issue, case to case rather than to make sure “customers” are somehow satisfied, excuses for non-performance are concocted with blame pointed somewhere else. The problem is, voters don’t really care about who’s responsible for rising costs of gasoline, they simply want to be able to afford to fill their tanks and buy food and pay rent at the same time as they did before.

Presidential rants about assault-weapon controls aren’t of much value to those living in unpoliced city’s or where judges release unpunished criminals right back into society’s they came from.

As illegals flood the nation, citizens don’t need to hear justification of how every requirement to immigration has been met, they simply want the border closed.

And that brings us back to the Democrat dilemma. They apparently don’t possess the mental acumen or desire required to successfully run a nation the size and scope of the USA. Something Rush realized early on, which is why he tied half his brain behind his back to make things comprehensible for the likes of them. And why someone like myself concentrates on delivering something that works as promised for customers, because those are the ones that truly need to be satisfied.

That’s it for today folks.
