A Complete Waste of Space

...well, the no-show debate stunt burned him for about 10% of his prior support, and folks talked it over and came to the same conclusion most Americans have: Trump is a loser, who would be a simply terrible President. Now, let's see if New Hampshire pulls another late swing of opinion and sends Timmy Toupee packing.

The Texan for the win !

didn't take you long to jump ship. Illustrating my point. You're going to end up seeing Rubio, I suspect.

Iowa Democrat Turnout Dropped 25 Percent From 2008

As Hillary Clinton limps out of Iowa having managed to avoid a loss, the Democrat party establishment may exhale that it dodged an upset bid from socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%
.

While Hillary stays on track to win the nomination, the party has a deeper problem: Turnout for the Democrat caucus collapsed from 2008.

Eight years ago, when Clinton was the favorite to defeat Barack Obama and John Edwards in the caucus, around 220,000 Democrats turned out. The Democrat turnout was almost double the Republican turnout, a clear sign of Democrat enthusiasm after 8 years of the Bush Presidency.

This year, however, just over 170,000 Democrats turned out to caucus, in a contest that was widely regarded, and broadcast by the media, as a nail-biter. Despite a massive turnout operation by the Clinton campaign and record-breaking rallies from Berne Sanders, Democrat turnout dropped around 25 percent from 2008.

The Republican turnout was around 180,000, the highest turnout in its history. It is also the first time more Republicans turned out when both races were contested.

What's Delaware running...
Oh...their entry showed up lame...and late.

Joe chose not to run for family reasons. That is one reason I respect the hell out of him. Further worth noting is that neither he nor Sanders, despite long public service, became rich men. Very rare to see in public service. Bernie is worth about $750K, Biden around $1.6 million. Compare that to Boehner and others who have cashed in at the public trough.

now, on to the turnout thing. Part of it in 2008 was timing. If you recall, there was a race on to be the 'first in the Nation' and Iowa ended up on the first week of January, as I recall. The Obama buzz, along with the timing fight, made for a huge turnout. I believe, however, that more Dems went to caucus last night than did Republicans. What was interesting is that a high turnout(which both parties saw last night) was supposed to benefit Sanders and Trump. Only really worked out for one of them. Why?

It worked out the same way for both....
