As this is written I’m at the Flying J in Carlisle Pennsylvania.
That’s a bit of a rare event for me actually. Mostly because this place is usually so crowded by 3 o’clock in the afternoon you can pretty much forget about getting a parking spot anytime past about 5. As it happens though, I’m here without a trailer because my trailer is being loaded. I’ll pick it up about 8 o’clock in the morning and head back north.
Seems they caught rather more snow down here then we did further north.
This stuff is everywhere and is giving Logistics businesses fits.
Oh well. Part of the game, I suppose. On to other matters….
After watching Bernie Sanders for several weeks, now, I have come to the conclusion that his transition to senility will be an extremely smooth one. In fact, I doubt anyone will notice at all.
That said, the only two honest people in this race, are Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders. It’s my view that the presidential race should come down to those two people. It is the race, I think, that liberals are in abject fear of, because it will give the American people and clear choice. The socialism that is every American leftists wet dream, or constitutional conservatism writ large. There’s only one way that contest is going to go, and the left knows it.
No, don’t misunderstand. I think Sanders is downright CRAZY. There is no logic to any of his political beliefs. None. And yet, at least he has the advantage of being honest about his political beliefs, which is something that Hillary Clinton and what’s his name Milloy don’t have in their resume. Even the left doesn’t trust Milloy… he’s pulling, what, about 5% among Democrats?… and Hillary Clinton is melting down before our eyes, and will likely be indicted before the convention.
I see that amost predictably, Noam Chomsky has endorsed Hillary Clinton as of yesterday. I find it fascinating, personally. You see, I can’t help but wonder which that endorsement is going to hurt more. The communist and criminal who is trying to pass herself off as a centrist or the whack job communist trying to pass himself off as the smartest guy in the room.
Seems about as close to an even money bet as you’re going to find in the world of politics.
Then too, no matter who wins, it’s more than a little bit difficult to run against the current status quo, given that they’re running at that point against their own, Barack Hussein Obama. They can’t call for real change because supposedly that’s already occurred. The cognitive dissonance is going to be amusing to see.
As for Ted Cruz, he’s the only one on the Republican side who is actually a conservative despite the whole of the rest of the field trying to pass themselves off as such. Also, he’s the only one of the field not actively trying to snatch the mantle of Reagan.
Regarding that, it’s always been fascinating to me how many people claiming to be conservative and claiming to revere Ronald Reagan, didn’t support him back in the day.
It’s my feeling that at this point the Democrat race is wide open. That said, the Republican race is going to end up In Ted Cruz’ hands.
Yes I know, Donald Trump and all that. But the implosion of Donald Trump has already begun before they even vote in Iowa, & I will remind you that do the candidates who win in Iowa very seldom win the nomination. Indeed I can’t remember the last time that happened.
I note with mild amusement, Donald Trump supposedly pulling himself out of the debate just before Iowa. It should be noted in fairness that this is a move that Ronald Reagan made, years ago, and he won the nomination. Still, Trump is no Reagan, and the outcome of this is likely to be different. After all, when Reagan decided not to do the last debate, he had a far more substantial lead on his opponents. It’s my view that this move is going to hurt him, and the damage has already been done… even assuming that he decides to go to the debate after all. This will be the break point for the Trump campaign. It’s all downhill from here.
So when Donald Trump self destructs, as I’ve been saying all along he would, Cruz is in the best position to pick up the pieces. He’s got the best list of qualifications, he’s an actual conservative, and the fact that the press doesn’t like him, along with the GOP establishment, is doing his position nothing but good. And from what I see here, Ted Cruz has the best organization on the ground for get out the vote.
And, down the road I go. I’ll see you tomorrow.
