Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments The Two Candidates That Really Need to Win in Iowa Tonight Oh, I agree about the disconnect. I simply don’t agree about the nuance that you think will make such a difference. By nuance, I’m referring to your use of the word narrative. That just doesn’t measure up to what I see as a reality. We’ll just have to respectfully disagree on this. I know that the old saw is that the media controls the message. I don’t think, after so much obfuscation and outright lies by the mass media, that the informed American people are buying into their nonsense any longer. American politics has been turned on it’s ear this time. Trump and Bernie have created an entirely new playing field. Who knows what is going to happen in the coming months? Nobody that I know of. This is all pure speculation. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 11:24 pm Holy Jeebus, help us. I think Cruz is much more of a danger than Trump. I do console myself with the fact that Iowa, for the last decade or so is no predictor of nomination winners. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 7:57 pm Thanks funk. It may have to do with the early Black Lives Matter angst against Bernie. It may also have something to do with Bill Clinton being the first Black president. (Ha-Ha) Just a joke. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 7:51 pm Does that suggest write-in votes for Bernie? When is the last time a write-in ever won the presidency? I mean if Hillary gets the nomination, write-ins will be a great waste of votes. That’s the path to GOP administration. As sure as I am alive. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 7:23 pm Thanks funk. Why do you think that is? » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 7:20 pm Ad, I’m not quite sure just what you mean by “narrative,” in this case, and how much power would such a thing wield? That sort of sounds like pudnut-speak. I’m not saying you are a pudnut (I know better), it just sounds like something one of them would say. This isn’t exactly to your points, but I think you may find it interesting; » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 7:11 pm Is that nation wide, or just in Iowa? » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 7:08 pm I agree. Iowa is really being over-hyped. That state is not even close to being a true representation of American voters at large. Mostly white, religious, farmers and business owners. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 6:31 pm Time will tell. I think Bernie could lose Iowa, and still be OK. Iowa is a very poor representation of the American voters at large. They’re mostly white farm owners and businessmen. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 6:30 pm Absolutely! I don’t think we’ll know much until at least 8pm eastern time. Caucuses, instead of vote counting, and all that. 😉 Keep your lovely fingers crossed! » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 6:22 pm It’s really not all that dirty of a trick. It’s rather a regular practice. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 3:32 pm I think Bernie could lose Iowa and still win New Hampshire. The demographics for those two states are vastly different. Levels of education are a great example of this. Plus, many New Hampshire voters resent Iowa for being the first primary state and won’t pay much attention to wins there. I guess we’ll find out, soon enough. » Posted By KillgoreTrout On February 1, 2016 @ 2:54 pm Weekend Music Thread – Message in a Bottle Once again, to all GOPer candidates;
