The Democratic nominations in Iowa, as sponsored by Harvey Dent:

No kidding, pretty wild. Supposedly she won all six coin flips.

Well, maybe so, but in practical terms she only managed a few delegates more than Sanders. Wow, just wait till South Carolina. I don't know how Sanders is going to wrench the black vote away from the Clintons, they own it.

Oberon · 02-02-16, 02:21 PM

I think the real winner in Iowa seems to be Rubio, he's come from far behind into third place. He could certainly do well to try and push for the moderate vote out of those Republicans who are scared of Cruz and Trump.
I think Jeb! and Christie will probably drop out soon, maybe next week.

Saw this the first time ever on TV tonight, and all I could think was "Oh. My. God."

Man is a hopeless case.

The coin came for Bills pocket and it was heads on both sides.

Coming out fighting!

But I agree, that little show before the rally was silly.

Silly? Kim Yong Il couldn't have done it better.

Well, Kim Yong Il haircut is just as silly as Trump's comb over.

America will be reviled on the world stage, and every other country will become a major superpower, with our help.

And I know this is completely accurate, because I've heard them saying the exact same thing!

Unfortunately, that is the depth of many Americans when it comes to politics.

Ah, yes, but if Trump wins, you can tell you grandchildren you witnessed the birth of the Trump Youth...

After that I need some David Bowie to cleanse my mind.

I've been wondering for a while about Trump and why he's in this race. I believe that Trump loves closing deals. He loves winning. He loves the thrill of the chase. I believe, however, that he hates the nitty-gritty of running a business. When he sets up every new business, he puts someone else in charge of it. He doesn't like the actual work. That's for other people. He closes the deal, and hands that sucker off, and moves on to the next deal.

He wants to win the election. It's genuine. It's the ultimate prize. President!

I don't think he's fully realized yet that if he wins this one, he can't just hand it off to someone else to run. He can delegate a lot, but still has to be present every single day.

So I can see Trump eventually walking away from the job. Not under a scandal. Not from being impeached. Just because he got tired of having to work every day. His running mate will be important. After all, Bush let Cheney run it.

Highly unlikely a remake of Boys From Brazil will occur if Trump wins the WH.

Is this not what a President does?
