You know how when you're at the supermarket you see that mass produced coffee cake, it looks good so against your better judgment you buy it. Afterwards you feel vaguely unsatisfied, even a bit queasy. Kind of like the Iowa Caucuses. Thankfully it's behind us now but I wonder how many Iowans have buyer's remorse this morning? The good news is I pretty much nailed it on the outcome, so good for me. This is clear evidence of my political brilliance. Of course I could have been wrong but it wouldn't have been a reflection on my analysis but rather the fault of bad data. The surprise of the night is Marco Rubio coming in at a strong number three, close to Donald Trump's number two. Those high numbers will get Rubio second and third looks in New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton was declared the apparent winner at 4:00A.M. At the time I'm writing the word "apparent" hangs in the air. It's the closest Democratic race in the history of the Iowa Caucuses which...
I am not a Trumpite, in case you haven't figured that out, but the media needs to focus on facts and stop trafficking in lies and innuendo. Also stop putting me in the position of defending people I don't want to. At a recent rally Donald Trump asked the supporters gathered there to raise their hands and swear to vote for him. All politicians ask people to promise to vote for them.The raising of the hands is unusual but it's Trump. The supporters did it, most half heartedly. The spin on various social media platforms has been to compare it to the heil Hitler salute. The press then ran with the story. It is absolute nonsense. It was not a salute, it was people raising their hands the same way hands are raised everyday in this country for a variety of reasons. Donald Trump is not Adolph Hitler. It is wrong for right-wing nutbags to refer to President Obama as Hitler and it's wrong to suggest it of Trump. Let's remember Hitler wrote a book from his prison cell which ...
Mitt Romney delivered a scathing indictment of why Donald Trump should be rejected by Republicans. He did this from the safety of Salt Lake City surrounded by a friendly audience. Well done Mitt, you just propelled Donald Trump's ascendancy to the nomination exponentially. Romney is not the person to deliver this rebuke. As much as I don't think Trump would be a good President my opinion of Romney is even less. He accused Trump of being a phony, if that's true then Romney himself is a phony on steroids. He has occupied all positions on all subjects including implementing Romney Care in Massachusetts which is identical to the so called Obamacare which he viciously attacked in 2012. In fact the architects of that Massachusetts plan were brought to Washington to work on President Obama's healthcare plan. Romney has been pro choice then pro life depending on the political race he is in. He became severely conservative for 2012. He believes with all his heart that 47% of A...
