THREE CANDIDATES REMAIN

(Apr. 21, 2016) — Much hububalu has been made about whether or not the Republican Party is going to have, or could have, with their Presidential Candidates coming in under the 1,237 Delegate Majority a Contested Convention in Cleveland. Perhaps because of the greater Media support for controversy stirring Republicans up against each other with seventeen Candidates, has the Democratic National Convention been featured much less as potentially contested, but it very well is looking like it with more than the two Candidates so prominently featured in the Primaries and Caucuses.
2016 Presidential Candidate Cody Robert Judy (CRJ) is a man who has done things before that most people said were impossible or insane that were really just different one might venture even trail-blazing. “He has a way of wrapping your head into a pretzel and making the inconceivable actually probable”, said one of his friends.
When he announced in 1990 at age 23 to his extended family he was buying a 2.5 acre plot of ground in California and building a house and matching stable on it from scratch everyone wondered what bank he was going to for the construction financing? When Cody announced he wasn’t going to a bank and was going to do it on his own personal credit cards whose interest rates varied in 1990 from 12 to 18% and he was building it all himself, that was labeled crazy.
Construction Building Loans in California at the time were loaned with a minimum of $1500 charge, and big balloon payments until construction was finished and long term financing transferred the loan into a 15-30 year mortgage. Cody told his then wife Jill he would have the house done in no more then six months for which he asked her and their three children all under 5 to live temporarily on the grounds in a 40 foot trailer he had purchased for $500, remodeled and refinished with a full size bathtub and oven included in it.
He avoided the $1,500 flat charge, the much bigger balloon payments during the building process making smaller minimums on the half a dozen credit cards he reserved for the purpose and got the Final on the House and financing in 5 months. When the bank for the long term financing came up to estimate the value Cody had actually accumulated in sweat equity over half the value of the property.
“You just have to believe in yourself”, said Cody. “No one knows better than you what you can do and can’t do. The world will always expect you to conform to what they understood, but ‘they’ are not you, and they will always say ‘You can’t’, and then they will sit back and watch.”
The story of Cody building his house in California is indicative of success in ways unimaginable at the time. Its’ easy now to see the House still standing there pictured in Cody’s book Taking A Stand -the Conservative Independent Voice at Amazon.com and principled at Barnes & Noble, but it was a well calculated risk. Things worked out.
The story is synonymous with what Cody has done running for U.S. President in ’08, ’12, and now ‘2016 as one of the three Candidates left standing in the Democratic Party no one is really seeing or paying attention to, but Cody sees away to the nomination or away of doing things others do not see.
With half of the delegates handed out to Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders one might ask Cody, “How many Delegates do you have so far?” expecting Cody to say zero.
