Re: Get your ass to the Iowa caucus thread in tBin

Call me, I've got some Florida real estate you'll surely want to buy.

You realize Santorum and huckabee won the last two Iowa caucuses?

Yes, I kinda follow politics and have for 40+ years. I was scoffing at your "massive favorite" statement in NH/SC. Trump has a ceiling of 25-30% of the vote - the knucklehead faction. As the field winnows his chances decrease.

Turtleneck - since it sounds like you know what the fuck you're talking about, what are your thoughts on the results in Iowa of Bernie vs Hillary?

[Turtleneck]

When I saw the reports about the huge number of new caucus goers, I assumed that would be to Trump's advantage. Not so. I found that to be very interesting, and might speak to the idea that Trump's celebrity status has inflated his support in the polls.

The problem with Trump is not his message. His brand of populism apparently has broad appeal. As your Real Clear Politics article correctly pointed out, there are some parallels to Buchanan's populism in the early 1990s. The problem with Trump is Trump. He cannot get out of his own way. In the end, what we thought he was impervious to - himself - will likely be his undoing. However, there is growing appeal for his message. You take Trump's politics and package it with a more likable character, and you might have something. The again, this is not over. Maybe Trump wins New Hampshire, Rubio wins South Carolina, and Trump wins Nevada.

I do not blame the media. They have been covering the guy who has led the polls from the start contrary to all conventional wisdom.

As for Cruz, I do not believe he is pretending to be religious to get votes. I believe he is very much so guided by his religious principles. I do not have a problem with that, and it is good when people find a moral compass. However, it is unreasonable to impose that compass on the rest of society, and I do not trust him to do otherwise. To my knowledge, his conservative hero, Ronald Reagan, did not wear his religion on his sleeve to the extent that Cruz does. Maybe I am wrong since I was too young to really have a sense of politics during the Reagan era, but a reading of history does not suggest he interjected his religion into his politics - at least not publicly - to the extent that Cruz will. Cruz's commentary in the aftermath of Obergefell v. Hodges was pretty telling for me, and I am not sure his need for social order serves the idea of limited government.

Cruz just can't as President impose his religion on the country. You are falling for fear mongering. The courts decide religious liberty issues. And there is still Congress.

Thank you for the rundown of the basic working institutions of American government.

MSU v. Stanford. It will come down to a 4th down stop. Maybe. The Clinton machine is powerful. She could pull away in the second half, but it will be close early on. He has a lot of momentum right now. More than Clinton.

I like how a religious extremist like Cruz.. who is anti-government.. considers himself a Washington outsider... when a) he's a member of the United States senate and b) is on the government payroll..

Are you saying sometimes politicians are hypocrites?

that's not as sickening as those who follow blindly what he says.

again, they're all hypocrites..

I always find it funny when the anti-government ilk run around the country begging people to elect them to become part of.. the government.

[Robert J Sakimano]

the least Trump could've done last night was sent Sarah Palin out for the concession speech... a rambling, drunken. "my son is a war hero and my daughter is an unwed mother of two", This Is Brought to You By the Wasilla Dressbarn concession speech.

See Bob you distort when you build your simple minded strawman before knocking it down and celebrating your intellectual voctory for dummies.  He's not anti-government, as a true conservative he is anti BIG government.  That's an important distinction and in no way disqualifies someone from serving in the government.   If a person that was anti BIG government was automatically disqualified from office then how the fuck could they ever change anything?   Exactly - they couldn't so your premise is as stupid as your strawman.

and how does this fine religious patriot who loves his family and America define "big government"?

is he pro-life? does he support the death penalty?

so he gets to be a United States senator while being a "Washington outsider"?

Got it.

Is it the same as saying Bernie is an outsider even though he's held political office for four decades?

I think painting yourself as an 'outsider' is the cool thing to do.

Sometimes I don't know if you guys are trying to be over the top or actually believe what you write. That's my favorite part of tSwill political threads.

oh, it's definitely the "cool" thing to do for some people. I actually prefer my executives to have experience in the field they're competing for...

but, ya know.. a lot of gullible people believe what the mainstream media feeds them. And they tell you that a couple of guys who are United States senators are "Washington outsiders", there are always the folks that lap it up like puppies.

without running a statistical analysis, I'd say I believe about 99.934% of everything I say.

the other .066% of the stuff I say might be mocking the people who are fine American patriots who simply want their country back.

Hilary has officially been declared the winner in Iowa, no recount coming.

More interested to see what happens to this race after South Carolina. If Bernie can wrangle up some of the minority vote this could get real interesting.

yeah - Trump will win in New Hampshire, Bernie will win big.

Super Tuesday will be interesting.. of course, for me, it's Super Tuesday because it's the night Jason Isbell and Shovels and Rope are in Royal Oak.. screw political stuff when there is live music to behold.

He just did get the endorsement of a SC House member Joe Neal.
