El Rushbo will be busting his buttons today. He constantly says that if a candidate sticks to a purely conservative platform, America will respond with the votes, but that nobody has had the spine to DO it. Cruz did it, and won fair and square. He’s still my 2nd choice, but he has moved up a bit.
I never expected Rush’s theory to pan out in Iowa. To my mind, Iowans are a different breed of cat; wonderful, salt of the earth, shirt off their back folks; but with a schizo-crazy, fickle, liberal scandinavian-rooted mindset. After spending a lot of time in Iowa in the ‘80s, that’s how I viewed Iowans....like the folks in The Music Man.
But at least for the moment, it looks like I was mistaken. Or was I right after all? Did the pundits say it would be Trump, only to have the zany Iowans swerve the other direction? In either case, it’s a long way from OVER. The fat lady is a long way from singing. Right now she’s only gotten one leg wriggled into her pantyhose.
What a great post.
