It's not that politics are boring, necessarily.  It's just Iowa.  And caucuses.

I didn't like Bernie's speech at all, Bunnie.  He just repeats the same phrases he issues in every single stump speech.  It was a bit long, too.  I mean, the message I agree with, but the delivery's less than inspiring.  It was just a long list.  He's never going to be a great orator, but he really needs a little less policy and a little more poetry - especially after NH.

Disgusting to see Cruz winning Iowa. The man is a spineless bigot who would run our country into the ground if he became president. Trump is just as bad though I suppose. 

 

I still don't trust Clinton and for sure will be voting for Bernie. 

 

But in all honesty, I would be tempted to vote for Marco Rubio if he wasn't such a crazy conservative bigot. i think he has the best plan to defeat ISIS, but I in good consciousness could never vote for a conservative loon like him.

 

Sanders it is.

What plan is that, exactly? His "plan" would have us in a war on multiple fronts by his second day in office.  Like all the Republicans, he thinks the solution is simply "bombs away."

Bernie's supporters are being even more vicious and vile towards Hillary today than they usually are.

Good. After the whole Benghazi thing, she deserves no sympathy. She isn't fit to be President.

Well Jordan, it is Groundhog Day. They always come back with the same @hit over and over.

Hillary is totally unlike able in every way. I can't bear the sight nor sound of her. That's why I hope it comes down to Bernie. 

 

And what do you mean by "whAt Benghazi thing?"

Hillary just wants Meryl Streep to play her in a biopic. That's about all she wants. She has no interest in fixing America

You mean the unfortunate incident that has since been spun into a years-long and costly investigation with almost no historical parallel that several politicians involved with have said was politically motivated to smear and discredit Clinton?  The one that culminated in an absurd 11-hour testimony from Clinton that showed the attempts to pin the blame on her and reveal a conspiracy with her at the center totally baseless and thoroughly imploded the GOP's dogged effort to make Benghazi into the scandal of the century? 

The attack that was similar to any number of others that occurred under other administrations yet prompted no outrage or investigation? 

That Benghazi?

Cruz might be the creepiest candidate since David Duke. 

I agree with most of Bernie's positions, but I am ageist and find him to be a grumpy old man that should stay in the Senate. 

Rubio is the Charles Lee of the race.

Support that statement.

It has nothing to do with smearing Clinton. She screwed up and is now being investigated by the FBI. Do you really think the FBI would be investigating her if this was just some half brained tactic to smear her campaign? Of course not. Facts don't lie and Clinton f'ed up. 

 

 

Support that statement. 

 

Her constant fluctuation on issues, saying anything she has to get elected is a good indication she really doesn't care what she says, as long as it gives her the win.  She wants the 'first woman president' title. That's about it.

It's a win/win for the Dems.  Hillary wins Iowa, if only by a hair.  Bernie's strong showing will keep him going for awhile, which is better for the party in the long run.  As for the GOP, the fanatic and the charlatan make Rubio seem reasonable by comparison, which is frightening.  Some of the GOP pretenders will probably have to drop after New Hampshire.

The FBI isn't investigating her role in Benghazi.

Rubio's speech was funny. "They said we would never come in third."

It is time to ditch the archaic caucus system - inefficient way to get sketchy results. 

I did enjoy the Iowa student who dropped the F bomb on MSNBC!

The entire primary system should be revamped.  I'm tired of two or three states choosing we the rest of us get to vote for.
