Gotta make up my mind today. First off, being a Republican I am gonna vote in the Republican primary. Second off, The Bern will win in NH if the polls mean anything at all. Third off, I don't see much to choose between The Bern and Hillary. The Bern will continue Obama's job of wreaking the US economy. Hillary will continue to produce the string of overseas disasters of her tour as Secretary of State Things like Syria, ISIS, Libya, Benghazi, Boko Haram, Ukraine, NORK nukes, and more.
The Republican field is down a lot. Iowa shows that the Donald, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio are the best bets, everyone else is an also ran with very low poll numbers. Even though I like Carly, I'm not going to vote for her 'cause I don't want to throw my vote away. I'm not gonna vote for the Donald 'cause I think he will loose. According to Gallup, 60% of the voters nationwide don't like him. That is not a recipe for collecting the essential-to-victory independent voters. Gallup says 43% of the voters are registered independent. If they don't like you, your campaign is going nowhere.
So who's left? Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio both gained enough votes in Iowa to look like possible winners. I like Marco a little bit more than Ted. Too bad Chris Christy really clobbered Marco on Saturday night. Too bad that no sitting senator seems to like Ted Cruz much, it shows the Ted has trouble getting along with peers. Not a good thing for a president.
JEB would probably make a decent president, but I don't like the idea of three Bush presidencies in my lifetime. And he is not a speaker to get the voters fired up for anything. Chris Christy looks fairly competent but I have my doubts about his appeal outside of the Northeast. Kasich has campaigned hard up here, and has a good record as governor and US representative but somehow he doesn't appeal to me.
Perhaps it is time to toss a coin?
