    Ha! I guess her followers were mostly confused about what corner to stand in to show their support because teepee's have no corners. (Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all day)

    My point about air travel is that they all knew they were going to be in Des Moines yesterday and they all knew they would be flying out last evening to the same airport in one of those irrelevant states near a coast. :evilgrin:

    If she did switch to a horse and canoe she would force all the other candidates to drop the planes too.
    Imagine the scene as a nondescript late 90’s SUV pulls up to the rally then out of nowhere, Julian Castro and 7 of his campaign staff come climbing out of a hidden compartment behind the bumper.

    I think they all should receive a participation trophy.

    No winners!? You must not count all the billboard and media advertisers. The Iowa caucus is a joke. Rooms full of people moving to and fro after candidates dump millions into their economy. I'm done with all of it. I refuse to accept any candidate from either party bc they are both one in the same and until will take the puppet masters out of the equation it doesnt matter. No more political donations, that's all going to the ammo and food supply fund.

    It's already happened. The puppet masters started sowing seeds of descent last night. We will be even more divided by 5pm today and at each other's throats.

    Yangs comment is more about the OTA. He has often brought this up, the dismantling of the Office of Technological Assessment (OTA). The Republicans dismantled it in 1995. He often refers to its need in this day and age.

    My gut tells me that the national underbelly running things is behind this and "their" preferred
    Dept. of Homeland Security offered to check the app for bugs and the Democrats refused. The OTA had a 20 plus million budget that was redundant of what was already going on in other offices. GOA took on the duties back in the '90's of anything that was not already being done by GOA and others. The knowledge is available if someone would be smart enough to utilize the resource. I think Bernie was winning and there is just no way they want that to happen. Hillary and her cronies hate that guy and the rest of the Dems know he is not a viable candidate. I'm not much on conspiracy theories, but when you look at what they did to Bernie the last election, you gotta believe it is quite possibly more of the same.

    Good post Fletch. I haven't been on this thread in forever. As I get older the more I don't care about politics and the more I am outraged all at the same time. It is a weird phenomenon. I just hate inequality, injustice, bullies, know it alls, and religious zealots. And they all seem to exist in the political world.

    That Obama put everything in place for the economy to flourish. Same as always. Even though Obama said the jobs would never return. It would take magic. blah, blah, blah, blah. We failed when neither side would any longer give props for success to the opposite side of the isle. Honestly, I think we have become so hyper-competitive in sports, life, and politics that the days of reaching middle ground are behind us until the wheels fall clear off. Hell, we cant even get Dad's to coach a baseball team or ref a youth basketball game for fear of what might happen. We have gone bat-**** crazy with competition.

    Not me I am a laid back grampa sitting on the front porch watching the world go by wondering how it can continue to get worse year in and year out.
