New Boston Post ^ | Feb 4, 2020 | New Boston Post

As the Democratic Party could not figure out its own Iowa Caucuses, President Donald Trump cruised to a dominant victory on Monday night.

The Republican trounced his opponents — including former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld and retired Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois).

Great reminder that unlike the Democrats, the Republicans actually succeeded in having a primary yesterday ... pitting one of history's great Presidents against one of Massachusetts' lamest meat byproducts.

Did Joe Walsh’s concession speech include the phrase “Life’s been good”?

Weld gave it the “old” college try. He only lost by ninety percentage points!

You’d have better luck betting on the Washington Generals.

Meat byproduct —LOL!

They’re being very kind to describe his efforts as a struggle.

Weld doesn’t care. Bill Krystol gave him a pitcher of martinis for showing up.

Or any Detroit sports team.

He could only dream to do so well. Trump won 97.1% vs Weld's paltry 1.3%. It was downright embarrassing.

I think Joe Walsh choked on a flock of wah-wahs.

It went like this:

I have a campaign, it's sort of on ice

Ain't never got votes, it sure would be nice

I live in hotels, give speeches in halls

I have my Bill Kristol pay for it all

They say I'm crazy but I have a have a good time

I'm just spouting my view that Trump committed a crime

Life's been good to me so far

Typo in prior transcript. His actual speech went like this:

I have a campaign, it's sort of on ice
Ain't never got votes, it sure would be nice
I live in hotels, give speeches in halls
I have Bill Kristol pay for it all

They say I'm crazy but I have a have a good time

I’m trying hard to recall a time in our country’s history where someone who gets one percent of the vote is struggling. That’s decidedly rejected by the voters land.

The POTUS has pulled the mask of what was hiding behind the “democrat” party. Not only did he pull that mask off, but he did it in a manner for all the world to see. And what did we see? Full-blown, rabid, American-hating communists....all of em. Now, even black folks are beginning to see what a charade it’s been, and especially how they’ve been played to stay on the “plantation”. The communists have way overplayed their hand
with the POTUS and have run up against a real American patriot that’s more than willing to fight & punch right back at em, instead of just cowering away and taking it. The communists don’t know how to handle someone that fights back and fights back hard. Tonight, he ripped em a new one...BIG TIME.

Seems we could save money and save the President some time if we just skipped the RNC caucuses. Americans want President Trump to be re-elected. Imagine... a one time RNC Convention where there are no debates or votes, just a big party with the formal announcement and speech by the President.

The best front we can put to the DEMS is to say, “we’ve got this guy and we’re sticking with him. We’re all behind him’.

Weld & Walsh (and Lara Trump) spoke at my caucus location last night. Lara Trump spoke for 10-15 minutes; she was exceptional. Weld spoke for about 5 minutes.

As I mentioned in previous posts, Weld was polite & was thus politely received (think “golf clap”). Walsh went off the TDS rails & was booed by many of the probably 2000 attendees. This was a VERY enthusiastic “mini-rally.” Was fun...and trust me, caucuses are not usually fun..lol!

I guess you could say that Weld came “undone”. Not enough solder to keep him together, eh?

I used to sell solder and my son-in-law is a professional welder. Maybe Weld could “CALL US” for help. /sarc. NOT A F***G change in hell. He’s too crazy to do anything right.

Tuesday Weld might have had a better shot.
