US Election 2016
…In 1963, when Sanders traveled to Israel to work on a kibbutz there were scores of American Jewish students who also volunteered. So it is rather strange that Sanders has consistently refused to tell the press about his time there and the kibbutz he worked on. When asked, he and his campaign dodged the issue.
Why would Sanders not answer such a simple question?…
Keane Schwarz is certain he knows the outcome of the vote in his precinct: He was the lone caucusgoer in Woodbury County No. 43. But the Iowa Democratic Party’s final results state that Hillary Clinton won one county delegate and Bernie Sanders received zero. …“It was really suspicious … I’m actually pretty irate about it.”…

…Trump is not a conservative. …Trump is a pragmatist. …Viewing problems from a liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems… Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending, globalism to the detriment of American interests and well-being …
…So, two days ago, Donald Trump was sputtering with rage over Ted Cruz allegedly stealing the Iowa election. He was threatening to sue. He was demanding that the Iowa caucus be redone. He was howling like a wounded beagle.
And now?
He’s always liked Ted Cruz and hasn’t ruled him out as his Vice Presidential pick.
But what about his outrage over Iowa?…
“I don’t care about that anymore.”…in my day we called it bipolar this sudden shift from manic to calm. They make movies about crazies like this…
Republican Senator Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is responding to Donald Trump, who has accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of not having friends in the U.S. Senate…
According to the Washington Examiner:
“It makes me mad when Trump says that… Ted Cruz is my friend, so if Mr. Trump or anyone else is saying Ted Cruz doesn’t have any friends in the Senate, I can say unequivocally, that is not true. I am his friend and I don’t regard myself as alone in that either.”…
…Judge Napolitano… on whether Trump’s claim that he has a legal case against Ted Cruz for fraud… “There’s no legal basis for that – he’s making a political observation.”…
…“I think I would choose Trump (over Cruz), which may surprise some of you,” he said.
“The reason is, Trump has proven already he’s completely malleable. I don’t think he has any fixed (positions) he’d go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies he’d pursue if he became president,” Carter concluded.…

Watching the votes trickle in from Iowa’s Caucus Monday night, I suggested a second-place finish for Trump would be an unenjoyable experience for us all… Less than 48 hours later, Trump had a meltdown for the history books.…
…what was lost on me and probably most people was that in actually coming in first, Ted Cruz made history by being the first American of Latino extraction to win a caucus or primary in US history.… The fact that I didn’t even realize the historic nature of Cruz’s victory at all until Mark Levin mentioned it almost in passing on his program yesterday is striking in its significance.…
Losing Iowa was Donald Trump’s “volcano’s edge.” And voters finally met the man. Okay, he isn’t so much a man as he is a crybaby.
I’ve been watching the anticipated Twitter meltdown of Donald Trump following his failure to win Iowa…

…Guthrie asked Palin if Trump was necessarily “the godly candidate” for evangelical voters.

Since Donald Trump dropped out of Fox News' final GOP debate, Stephen decided to hold the classiest, Trumpiest debate of all time.
…the latest smear piece by “sundance”… cites a “report” which is actually a series of tweets claiming that a man named “Don Fairly” [who] left the Cruz campaign along with seven other staffers.… The claims were made by @LandmanMarius, a man (presumably) whose tweets consist solely about the touting the awesomeness of Trump while relentlessly bashing Cruz… This author will go out on a limb to say that “Don Fairly” is as real as Donald Trump’s dedication to the Bible or the Constitution. …It makes one wonder how many fake Trump twitter accounts exist. The author “sundance” goes on to cite a truely vile unsourced smear piece by CNN about Cruz and finishes off with a jab at Glenn Beck.
Recently, Senator Ted Cruz sat down with over 100 pastors and faith leaders to talk about how his Christian faith has shaped his worldview and how it would guide his decision-making as the next President of the United States. This short 18-minute documentary – Cruz Faith In Action — tells the story of how Ted Cruz came to be the man and leader he is today beginning with his father’s acceptance of Christ. …
Contrary to some who have expressed concerns about Ted Cruz’s temperament and qualifications to be an effective president, my experience in working with the Texas senator and Republican presidential candidate during the early 2000s convinces me that he is the right person at the right time for the job.
Although not a close friend of Senator Cruz, I got to know him reasonably well as a colleague at the Federal Trade Commission from mid-2001 until he left the commission to return to Texas in 2003. During that time, we worked together on a number of projects…
In this capacity, I was able to observe Ted’s professional skills, his personal characteristics, and, significantly, his commitment to constitutionalism, the rule of law, and free-market economics. These personal observations impel me to conclude not only that Ted possesses the qualifications to be president in terms of intellect, temperament, and knowledge of the issues facing the country; but even
more importantly, that he is uniquely the right person to lead America at this time in its history.…
El Trumpo really needed to highlight his endorsement by Jerry Falwell Jr. since it really appears like he doesn’t know much about the Bible. But even that hasn’t been without controversy as some Evangelical leaders are angry about the whole deal.…
…I’m the best at talking to Sauron, I really am. Tough guy, tough negotiator but you really just have to have a man-to-man. Not like the people running Gondor, they’re stupid. I mean, how stupid are they? Now, my tower – and let me tell you, it’s the biggest, classiest tower, great views of the whole ring of stone and the forest and the river – I can get him on the line. Doesn’t answer anybody else, but when I want him, here’s there. I’ll be so good at dealing with him, it’ll make your head spin.…
