Hi,
Well all the shouting on TV is over and the winner is..............of the states' delegates, that is! DID ANYONE MAKE THAT CLEAR ????????????????? OR DID YOU JUST WONDER WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT ????????????
THE STATES' DELEGATES ARE HIGHLY COVETED. FROM EACH STATE THEY CHOOSE DELEGATES TO THE PARTY CONVENTION. MANY SAVVY CANDIDATES COUNT IN ADVANCE AND PURSUE THOSE WHO HAVE THE MOST AND ARE DEDICATED (CAN'T CHANGE). IOWA WAS SIMPLY THE FIRST OF THE STATES TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY. EACH STATE HAS A DIFFERENT CALENDAR, RULES, AND NUMBER OF CANDIDATES. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POSSIBLE DELEGATES IS DECIDED BY POPULATION. ALL DELEGATES HAVE STATE RULES TO FOLLOW AT THE PARTY CONVENTION.
MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS BUT A REFRESHER DOESN'T HURT; SEE "HOW AMERICAN PARTY DELEGATES ARE CHOSEN" . FIND IT ON THE WEB. THEY ARE COMPLEX. THE TELEVISION IGNORED THE EXPLANATION COMPLETELY SO "NEWBEES" MAYBE DIDN'T KNOW NOTHIN, MAN"! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANYWAY, THE CAUCUS OR PRIMARY VOTES ARE AWARDED BY STATE RULES WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE PRIOR TO THE CONVENTION AND EVEN IN SOME STATES AT THE CONVENTION. NICE TO HAVE THEM IN A CANDIDATE'S POCKET BUT KEEPING THEM THERE DEPENDS ON THE FINAL RULES. THE PRESS MADE A BIG THING OVER THE WIN BUT IT'S JUST AN INDICATION OF HOW THINGS MAY GO AT THE OTHER 49 CAUCUSES OR PRIMARIES.
THEREFORE, IT DIDN'T PROVE MUCH EXCEPT IT GAVE THE PRESS A CHANCE TO EXPOUND ON THE CANDIDATES IN A NEW WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BY MAKING IT SOUND DECISIVE, THEY GAVE IT GREATER IMPORTANCE. THIS BLOGGER HAS ALWAYS SEEN THE 4TH ESTATE AS CLEVER BUT IT HAS BECOME TOO CLEVER BY HALF. (MEANS THEY'RE FOOLING FOLKS BY HIDING FACTS).
ANYHOW, WE HAVE THREE CLEAR CANDIDATES IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND NOW TWO IN THE OTHER PARTY. INTERESTING THAT ONE OF THEM IN THE OTHER PARTY FREELY ADMITS HE IS A SOCIALIST AND THE OTHER FREELY ADMITS SHE IS A WOMAN AND NOT MUCH ELSE. IT IS TOO BAD WE HAVE A WOMAN CANDIDATE THAT WILL SET WOMAN'S LIB BACK 100 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER IS TIRED OF VOTING FOR CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY'RE SOMETHING OTHER THAN JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED AMERICANS. RUBIO WOULD DO A LOT BETTER IF HE'D STOP BEING SPANISH (CUBAN) AND JUST BE A FULL FLEDGED AMERICAN LIKE HE SAYS HE IS. NICE HE REVERES HIS PARENTS BUT HE HASN'T SET ASIDE HIS BACKGROUND ENOUGH TO MAKE US FEEL HIM FULL FLEDGED OR PLEDGED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN DID WE BECOME A COUNTRY THAT NEEDS TO DRAW ON THE VALUES OF ANOTHER CULTURE FOR OUR VALUES AND WISDOM. WE HAVE A CONGLOMERATE OF ALL NATIONALITIES THAT HAVE FORMED OUR INHERITED VALUES.
TEXAN AND TEA PARTY AFFICIANADO CRUZ CAME OUT AHEAD OF RUBIO AND TRUMP'AND HAS HIS FIRST DELEGATE STRIPES. THE OVER ZEALOUS CAMPAIGN FOLLOWERS PULLED VOTERS FROM DR. BEN CARSON BY PICKING UP NEWS FROM CNN THAT CARSON WAS QUITING WHEN HE IS NOT. THERE WAS AN APOLOGY AND AN EXPLANATION FROM CRUZ PLUS THE THREAT OF ACTION FROM TRUMP FEARING THE USE OF DIRTY POLITICS. TRUMP FINISHED SECOND.
TRUMP, BY THE WAY, DID NOT ALLOCATE THE TIME NECESSARY FOR THE CAUCUS SINCE HE HAD HIS EYE ON SOUTH CAROLINA. SPEAKING OF TRUMP, HE CAN USE A REST FROM THE HEAT OF THE PRESS CAMPAIGN TO REGENERATE.
THIS BLOGGER BELIEVES IT WILL BE IN TRUMP'S BEST INTEREST TO BEGIN TO PREPARE TALKS ON THE EARNEST AND DEADLY SERIOUS SOLUTIONS FOR GUIDING AMERICA AS PRESIDENT INTO VICTORY AS A NATION. IT WILL BE REFRESHING AFTER OBAMA'S DESIRE TO RUN AMERICA INTO THE GROUND AS A NATION. TRUMP WOULD BE REFOCUSING ON THE SOLUTIONS HE HAS OUTLINED IN HIS TALKS THAT THE PRESS HAVE OFTEN MISSED WHILE PUNCHING HOME HIS RATHER QUOTABLE INSULTS TO OTHER CANDIDATES.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THESE IOWA WINERS REACT. HOWEVER, THERE'S STILL A MAJOR FIELD OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES TO CONSIDER INCLUDING JEB BUSH, WHO IS STILL IN THE RUNNING. TWO WANNABEES WITHDREW RECENTLY WHOSE NAMES THIS BLOGGER CAN'T RECALL--GUESS THAT'S A SIGN THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE EXPENDED ANY MORE TIME AND MONEY.
MY TYPING IS STILL IFFY AND THIS BLOGGER HOPES YOU'LL BE PATIENT WITH ANY MISSED CORRECTIONS. TOO MUCH HAPPENING FOR THIS BLOGGER TO CONSIDER WITHDRAWING FROM THE WRITING FRAY!
CHEERS, CONNIE
