The stupid was strong in Iowa. And they still pick corn.

So much for the parade lap, time to start the race!

“One of the most dangerous effects of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is the venomous anger his demagoguery has cultivated among his more engaged supporters, to be spewed at anyone who dares to express concern about any of their idol’s (yes, idol’s) soft spots.

Just click on any article, on any website, critical of anything about Trump, and navigate to the readers’ comments. First, notice the unusually large number of them. Then observe the tone: rarely logical, thoughtful, or truly argumentative, the Trump defenders (granting honorable exceptions) simply attack — personally, irrelevantly, uncivilly — any writer or fellow commenter, no matter how unimpeachably serious (even Thomas Sowell, for heaven’s sake!) who dares to suggest Trump may be a poor nominee.

That’s their prerogative, of course, and anyone who writes for public consumption must be thick-skinned enough to stand by his ideas and let the spewers spew. The problem, however, lies in the way this true believer invective is smothering meaningful political discourse precisely when such discourse is most urgently needed.

This is the moment for freedom-loving people to debate the statements and substance of each candidate with all the open-mindedness they can muster, leaving the hypnotized cultist behavior to the progressives, where it belongs. Instead, serious public discussion, which is the heart of the representative element of representative republicanism, has been hijacked by idol-worshippers for whom there is nothing Trump could do or say that would cause them one second of self-doubt........................”

That is what the Donald said too before the election.

Do us a favor and have Trump call the people in the other 49 states stupid too.

You are condemning Iowa because they did not vote for little donnie? You sound like your hero. I think you guys thought DT was going to win Iowa but he didn’t. You are going to be really surprised by NH. You do know Cruz beats DT head to head in NH don’t you? Do you think DT will work harder at GOTV? Guaranteed Cruz has that in place.

I know it is had to fathom, but conservative Iowa voters voted for the conservative candidate in Iowa instead of the fake conservative...

Nothing at all stupid about that...

And they still pick corn.

Now there's a stupid comment...

So a loss in Iowa shouldn’t really be worthy of such bitterness on the part of Trump supporters, should it?
