 Bernie Sanders had 666 votes in Iowa |
Link |
the last I checked. Hillary had 670. Cruz was winning for the Republicans at over 54,000 votes. Trump may have made a mistake by not showing up for the last debate.
Didn't Huckabee win Iowa last time? His campaign fizzled out, but Cruz may be a more viable candidate. I do think Rubio has more charisma than Cruz and I wouldn't mind having either for president. If there were a Cruz-Rubio or Rubio-Cruz ticket, maybe they could permanently convert some Hispanics to the Republican party.
This Fox site is pretty cool. When I first opened it, the numbers were rolling up as I viewed the page, as if new votes were being added.
96% of the votes are in, but Bernie could still beat Hillary. I don't want the man for president, but I'd like to see Hillary lose Iowa. I'm surprised at just how low the Democratic turnout was. I wonder if some of Democrats registered Republican to vote for someone besides Trump. The Republican race is a lot more interesting than the Democrats this year.

| I saw those numbers too and the Republicans had over 180,000 votes. Is that state that lopsided? That's even more than Oklahoma who in 2012 didn't have a single blue county. |

I'd love a Rubio-Cruz or a Cruz-Rubio ticket. Rubio is more "likeable" than Cruz but Cruz may be the better candidate.
I hope this becomes the unraveling of Trump. He's just scary. I don't want him negotiating on behalf of my family.

People look at me like I have two heads when I suggest Hillary might be less awful than Trump, but this is why. Yes, she would be a terrible president, and yes, the US would suffer dearly under her administration. But she at least has the soundness of mind to handle diplomacy in a careful way, even if she doesn't care about what information she exposes along the way.
Statecraft is not a place for bombastic newbies. Trump's impulsiveness, lack of experience, and petulance could easily start a war. |

I'm torn between those two and I would like to see either of those tickets myself. The only reason I prefer Cruz is because he's Baptist rather than Catholic.  I do find Rubio more likeable. He's a pretty good preacher from some of the clips I've seen on YouTube. If I'd never seen him before and I'd seen some of those clips, I might think he was an evangelical preacher.
Rubio looks kind of short. But I looked it up and he's 5'10", so I guess the other guys are just tall. He;s so energetic when he talks and comes out fighting for his cause, so something about him reminds me a bit of Scrappy Doo, Scooby's nephew.
I think Kasich might make a good VP candidate. I don't remember him attacking anyone or being attacked. He's kind of boring, but he seems to have reasonably good stances on issues. I'd hate to see either Rubio or Cruz taken out of the Senate just to be a backup if the president dies. The VP gets to break ties in the Senate, and go out and cut ribbons and give speeches.

I hope so, too. He's shown himself to be a poor negotiator, IMO, with Fox News, an irrationally competitive one. He may have cost himself votes for the sake of hurting an opponent.

Certainly not for Hillary, and almost certainly not for Trump. I can't imagine being able to cast a vote for him in good conscience given his historic positions and what I described above.
In that very unpleasant scenario, I would pray for wisdom and strongly consider a third party. |
