exchange thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc., my way or the highway, etc.). What we're doing is a respected political process to select the best candidate. rump does not have one single word to say about it that any of us will listen to. He can mouth off (and he will, with his usual BS and 5 year old insults, but who's listening?).

I'm glad the Iowa Caucuses are finally here. Now some of the meat can be placed on the dining room table, with the other toppings coming soon. Finally here!

47% saying they will not vote for the nominee...if it is not Sanders...attacks on the DNC...it just sucks... Sanders campaign is loaded with stein voter...why? The campaign was using a script against Warren...so much for the team...so many reasons. Well this is his last go round so at least we won't have to suffer this in four year if God forbid Trump wins; I don't know if our Republic can withstand it.

When you come in second in a contest between two people, that means you lose. "Coming in second" is a pretty lame spin.

and think that Never-Trump voters must be anxious to cast their votes. It’s a well-earned right after what that thug fascist has put us through. Everyone is different, decisions about voting are personal. Enthusiasm is much more effective than lock-step orders.
