Westward Ho!

1-RNC's  ranks down from 6 to 5, should be 3.
2-Jeb finally hung up his track shoes.
3-Only top 3 finishers in SC, heading to NV.
4-Kasich and Gentle Ben stayed behind prep'g I suppose, for upcoming Super Tuesdays as soon as the calender turns page to March, 2016.
5-My vote probably won't  count come  March 15. The primaries on March 1, 8 may of determined the RNC's candidate.  All Mr T needs to hold his cool and really really focus on the issues, quietly and secretly pick a VP candidate, sit back and wait for the Cleveland Convention.
6-Gentle Ben coming out with a documentary on his life history, later in March ?  Could be focusing on a cabinet position, perhaps HHS. A surgeon of his credentials to head up restatement #1 of the ACA Law, would be a God send.
7-The DNC's deck is stacked for MP.  Super delegates will crown MP soon. The socialist will head for the showers, thank God.
8-The FBI vs Apple battle, just may suck the O2 out of the case of the FBI moving forward with solid
presentation to the DOJ with MP indictment on breach of security on e-mail scandals.  For the life of me, I don't under stand the motivation for MP doing such a stupid thing in first place.
9-pp would  between a hard spot and a rock on latter MP case, because the current LDP's AG is his primary candidate for Supreme Court.
10-By the way, I support Apple's decision against FBI request to open a terrorist's i-phone account. Once the back door is breached, precedent is set, that all carriers must follow. Gotta draw a red line in the sand, and mean it, Sir.

Reflections

1-He who lives in  a walled city should not cast dispersions on one contemplating building a 21 st century version, regardless his religion.   The US doesn't need non-citizens interjecting their thoughts on how to run our elections, we are screwed  bad enough already.
2-Following the RNC's SC primary tomorrow should thin the ranks to 2 to 3.  The others hit the road.
3-pp took a pass on participating in tomorrow funeral for Judge -------. GI goes in his stead. Reasons unknown, but some" beings" have problems just being in the presence of a crucifix.
4-pp could be prep'g for his Cuba visit next month. A legacy item, no doubt.  Maybe a Nobel Peace Prize? Cuba will be nothing, but a financial burden for decades to come like Porto Rico
5-The NV caucus take place on 02.20.16 also...MP goes 1 for 3 states, unless double head coins are used to call tied votes, like the Iowa caucus.
6-After DNC's primary next week in SC, Socialist Sanders will heading back to VT.  GI, Warren, or Webb, maybe current SOS will take his place

Fork in the Road!

1-I would assume a total autopsy will be preformed on the untimely death of Conservative Justice Scalia, once his body is in DC.  Strange things happen in  TX,  assassination can not be ruled out regardless, what officials in S. TX proclam,
2-The High Court has many hot button issues on agenda with decisions to be rendered by end of June, that impacts the GOP. Now nothing will happen with a 4-4 split, unless the Little Sisters of the Poor case, tests if a Mex-Amer Catholic female justice has a conscience.
3-Rather sad the passing of Scalia,  got mixed into the  Saturday night GOP shootout debate. But that is politics.
4-pp will attempt to appoint a LDP candidate(s) poste haste. It's his right, but each case will die in the US Senate confirmation hearings.
5-What makes sense, postponed selection until a new president is elected and in office >01.20.2017.
6-It is ever more paramount that that a CTPR candidate be elected in Nov.2016.
7-Here is the scary part.  There are 2-3 other Justices due to retire during the term of the next president.
8-If the DNC were to win WH,  look for pp to be on the supreme court short list for down the road.
9-May have to take "him" grouse hunting in S. TX.

"Split in their ways"

1-The DNC heads for NV caucus on 02/20/16,  a test for racial vote divide.
2-RNC, up and running in SC for their primary on 02.20.16. Cruz could challenge T-Man for total votes...60% population are alleged to be evangelical.  That's what keeps Dr. Gentle Ben in race.
3-Christie and Fornia dropped out of the RNC race.
4-LDP ex-US Senator Webb D-VA once in/ then out/ maybe back in soon.  GI and Warren warming up.   LDP are on life support.
5-Hey, they found out Einstein was right on in his space theory.  By the way that was ~100 yrs ago, 6-Another point...that was without scientific instrumentation, except his brain, pencil and paper or was it a blackboard and chalk. To be PC, it must of been the former.
7-One piece of trivia coming out of the Iowa Caucus...they used an empty corn silo, at least one site as a voting station.  Interesting re-purpose!
8-I thought ethanol was a dead issue.  Re-purpose allocation of corn for diluting gasoline for food..., what a novel thought!  Econ 101 comes into play.  The investment in ethanol production must be so great, it can no longer be a political issue. How sad, all the starving people on this planet!.
9-From a scientific point of view ethanol in any proportion, with gasoline, creates a larger Co2 footprint, less energy/gal  than plain ole gas and does a number on small engine corrosion rate.
10-Apparently large engines are not effected, the additive noted below is added at the distillery.
11-To counter the corrosion problem, an name was created to blanket a hydrocarbon additive now available.  Check Mate!
!

"Off to Warmer Country"!

1-NH primary now history. What have we learned?
2-The blue team:  The socialist slammed dunked MP by 20  as expected.  However, that may be his high water mark, if he lasts to the Convention?
3-Don't think LDP will allow MP to fly solo, now looking into their geriatics pool for back-ups.
4-The socialist winner had breakfast with Rev Al in NYC this AM ???
5-The red team: T-man won 2:1 over second place  finisher Kasick.   Bigger margin over #3 Cruz, and Bush who  most money, finished out of the money.
6-One interesting thing however, a current and an ex-governor finished in the top four, whereas the two freshman US Senators finished #5, #6.
7-Amazingly, in last GOP debate the  NJ governor had a what reported appeared a TKO on the Fl US Senator, backfired in the primary,  it killed the aggressor and the victim finish  higher in the race.
8-Finished T-man's book "Crippled America"---slogan "How to make America Great Again".

Big Day Tomorrow!

1-That is, if you are a resident voter of NH.
2- Do you know that almost half (44%)of NH voters are independent or non-declared?  They can vote for either party, but no more than once, are not at all. The rest of the folks are are split   ~50/50%.
3-Mea culpa.., .I missed the RNC's  Saturday PM debate, on purpose!  Other priorities.
4-Trump will win by a smaller margin.
5-Watch Kasick!!!! Slides into second place.
6-A couple more will drop out, getting down to manageable squad size.
7-I almost completed Trump's latest book "Crippled America". A good read. We need a businessman leading the parade, with a good seasoned office/people manager who knows the ropes of Congress...Kasick maybe?
8-Watched  Super Bowl 50.  Won by Denver's defense in all sectors.  Carolina's offensive line provided little or no protection from a continuous blitzing by Broncos.
9-Commericals sucked.
10-Saw better half time entertainment in any one of the previous 49 Super Bowls.
11-Onto South Carolina and Nevada's Primaries.

MP wins by a flip!

1-MP won the Iowa Caucuses by four votes.   What pushed her over the victory line was by  coin flips.  It's ok, its in the LDP play book! MP won six precincts by a flipped coin... tails in each, only needed five.  Not sure the rule book details the design of the coin to be used?  MP's people called six coin flips, miles apart, but each called tails, won 6-0 tails.
2- LDP's have some real issues forward. GI and Warren heading for spring practice in AZ.
3-The doc now calling for a complete recall Iowa GOP vote.  Doc claims  Cruz's people was to have alleged to sent false rumors...words like...  the doc, was heading to Florida after the this Caucus was over... what may have been omitted...to get clean clothes. Who said politics was clean...should of called foal when first detected. Sir you wouldn't advance to third place, could of screwed up Cruz's camp.
4- Mr T....to sue  just because he came in "place position". New York!, New York!.. did him in Iowa.
5-Huckabell, and KY US Senator have pulled up stakes, more to come after New H. primary.
6-Mr. T will have problems with OH Senator finishing position after the NH Darby is run.

Caucus Predictions

1-A guy by the name of Nate Silver has a unique  program, called 538 that factors in all sort of info, that is suppose to be better than others.
2- No big mystery as to who comes in 1,2,3,  anyone knows who ...its the percentage that unique.
3- GOP:  T-Man 46%, TX  US Senator 39%, FL US Senator 14%, Ex-doc. 1%. The rest of the field are either there or heading to New Hampshire for next Tuesday's primary.
4-LDP: MP 67%, the socialist 33%, ex-gov/mayor < 1%.
5-Remember pollsters ause SWAGs, and are worst than weather people.
