Deconstructing Nat
I have spoken to very savvy politicos. Here is what I think now after many discussions and hand wringing from yesterday's Iowa vote:
My problem is I listen to too much of the noise not the signal. An extremist Republican cannot win. Discount the Republican primary votes and look ahead to the general. Sanders will not win and it will be Hillary who if it is Cruz or Trump or even Rubio once those jerks become clear in terms of what they support Hillary will take it more easily than thought before. Count NOT the primary votes but count the ELECTORAL votes. She will take CA and all of the far west, some of the middle states like Michigan and/or Ohio and of course the Northeast like NY and she will take in the larger election Mass, CT, R.I. of course and more even VA and maybe even North Carolina once persons of color and Hispanics vote which they will heavily for her because the Republicon Party is NOT about the minority vote!
So as I deconstruct from yesterday I WILL try to help make phone calls for Hillary and all who read this should too. There is too much at stake!
Alice in Wonderland--Iowa
The media: Why on this earth is
Rubio, who so far came in third, acting like he won and why is the media
reporting it as if he won? Cruz who came in first seems to be tepid in
his reaction and as to Trump the media are putting out statements like
"Trump goes down" when he did NOT go down he came in second so far and
New Hampshire if one believes the gd polls has him ahead by a lot.
Clinton/Sanders they still have in a "dead heat" when in fact she is
ahead by delegates albeit not many but she is ahead nonetheless. She
declared a win early so she would have egg on her face if she did not
squeeze out a win; it would look like a Truman/Dewey moment where a
newspaper declared a win for Dewey when, in fact, Truman won the
presidency. The media is saying Sanders all but won by being so close.
As of now she is ahead, probably won and he came in second. It should
be period end of story but the media hypes it to keep us hyped to sell
their commercials instead of reporting just the facts ma'am.
We live in a national Alice in Wonderland world where up is down and down is up because the media says it is.
Alice in Wonderland: "Oh no no, I was just wondering if you could help me find my way.
Cheshire Cat: Well that depends on where you want to get to.
"Cheshire Cat: Who are you?
Alice Kingsley: I'm Alice.
Cheshire Cat: *The* Alice?
Alice Kingsley: There is some dispute about that.
Alice Kingsley: I'm Alice.
Cheshire Cat: *The* Alice?
Alice Kingsley: There is some dispute about that.
Things are getting curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice!
And for me too!
"Cheshire Cat: Who are you?
Alice Kingsley: I'm Alice.
Cheshire Cat: *The* Alice?
Alice Kingsley: There's some dispute about that."
"Cheshire Cat: Who are you?
Alice Kingsley: I'm Alice.
Cheshire Cat: *The* Alice?
Alice Kingsley: There's some dispute about that."
And for me too!
IF YOU LISTENED TO THE
CHARLATAN RUBIO YOU WILL HEAR WHY A DEMOCRAT MUST WIN. THERE IS NO
OTHER OPTION UNLESS YOU WANT ALL THAT OBAMA ACHIEVED TURNED TO DUST! GET
OUT THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE!
