The truth about Iowa.

If there was ever a Republican candidate that deserves the title "Mr. Etch-A-Sketch" it is Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz's true personality is unknown to the American people. He creates a persona for every issue and every primary he faces. The New Hampshire Ted is extremely different than the Iowa Ted. 

Donald Trump knew about three days before the Iowa Caucuses he was not going to be the first place winner. He softened his statements about expectations. It was obvious his own understanding of the outcome was known to him. He was far from second place only two weeks ago. His second place finishing was rather stunning. When he was endorsed by former Senator Scott Brown and stepped to the podium to speak his first words to his audience was, "I'll take any questions." They all wanted to discuss Iowa and Donald Trump could not get away from Iowa at least for the first day after that caucus. 

He needs now to address the New Hampshire Primary and his hopes for the country. By the way, the appearance of his family in support of him was really lovely. He also was a gentleman, gracious and a wonderful hero for those he asked to vote in the Iowa caucus. Those folks were majority of newly entering or returning vote in Iowa. That is always a good thing. He has own constituency, but, they have to be motivated to vote. Donald Trump, himself, has to ask for voters to come to the polls to vote for him. It is just the way it is. People vote because they feel important and will make a difference. Donald Trump followers are making a difference to bring back enthusiasm from those disillusioned by the election process.

Marco Rubio was not a surprise. He was in third place for quite some time. He is in the much coveted third place, but, that is all he can say. I didn't see his family at any point in time.

I was impressed by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. We have two remarkable candidates for our Presidential nominee for 2016. They finished as equals. Hillary was correct to claim a victory, but, Bernie is awesome. He is a candidate of the people. I never thought I'd see such support for Bernie, I thought he was going to be looking forward to matching funds at best. But, his candidacy instills a great deal of hope for returning the USA to the American people and out of the clutches of the Plutocrats. NO, I do not believe Hillary Clinton is a plutocrat. Her biography is all that is needed when talking about her. She is simply devoted to the USA and it's most vulnerable people. We are lucky to have her. I found Bill's look on his face the truth about his support of his spouse. His expression was not manufactured and full of admiration. It was nice to see. I wish both candidates well and Bernie's spouse is just as endearing of her spouse.

Everyone have a good day.
