Rethinking the Primaries and Caucuses?
Not sure why it took me so long to think about this, but I'm starting to question this whole primary/caucus thing! Why? Well let's look at what's happened so far and the jury is still out on South Carolina (until later today).
Iowa:
Total population is 3.1M! 15.7% (358K folks) of that total population participated in this years' caucus! Just 15%! 187K Rethuglicans and 171K Democrats. Yet the results of the Iowa caucus's impact is big political pundit coverage. For example..."Hillary barely eeked out Bernie"...so she's in trouble! Don't get me wrong, I love me some Iowa! I went to college there and some of my most beloved friends are residents across Iowa! BUT...315 thousand people in Iowa are gonna set the temperature of the water regarding the "front runners"?
New Hampshire:
Total population is 1.3 million! 538K folks voted in the primary...just 40% of that state's total population!
Moving forward:
So as we move on to South Carolina's results today, we know that approximately 900k Americans in Iowa & New Hampshire (from a total combined population of 4.3M from those two states..or less than 25% of eligible voters in those two states) have planted the ground work for who may win and who is in trouble!
So if you're a believer that these two early states forecast the outcome of this years' election you could possibly make the following assumptions:
- Hillary is in trouble!
- Early voters love Trump (even if he's not a big fan of the Pope)!
- Jeb...why did you bring out Dubya and your Mommy?
So now it's on to South Carolina (total population of 4.8M). Didn't they just take down the Confederate flag from the state capitol building? Back in the late 60's, I spent 2 months of my life at the Army's boot camp at Fort Jackson in Columbia South Carolina! Ugh!
Oh! Let's not forget Nevada! Total population is 2.8M! So we have a total population of the aforementioned four states at 12 million versus a total US population of 319 million! However, these four states seem to lay the ground for the political direction of this nation!
At this point, I'm seriously considering options to retire overseas! I'm just saying!

Gun Control & White Terror!
From the NY Times Opinion pages by Charles Blow commenting on President Obama's Executive Order regarding Gun Contols:
I'm just sayin'
"I firmly believe that part of the current intransigence is because those gun homicides disproportionately affect poor minorities. (Gun suicides disproportionately affect white people.) Indeed, the only time that national figures seem to get fully engaged is in the wake of mass shootings that involve white people, either as shooters or victims."
See the full article here.
Mr. Blow goes on to quote narrative from Adam Winkler's 'Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America'
And here's a piece regarding Mr. Winker's book that was published in today's Chicago Tribune!
"In the early Republic, the Second Amendment was no barrier to strict laws governing firearms. The founding generation kept guns out of the hands of slaves, free blacks, and loyalists who opposed the American Revolution. Officials in some communities counted and registered guns and public safety prompted safe storage laws that mandated unloaded weapons by requiring the storage of gunpowder on a building's top floor. After the Civil War, former Confederates forcibly disarmed freedmen in the South, while in the so-called Wild West, frontier towns prohibited concealed weapons. The need to combat heavily armed gangsters led to prohibitively high taxes on particularly deadly weapons during the Great Depression. When the radical Black Panthers took to exercising their legal right to brandish weapons openly, California legislatures, with Governor Ronald Reagan's support, passed tough measures to disarm them. In many instances, the National Rifle Association went along with modest controls in the name of public safety."
I'm just sayin'

Trump: The Lie of the year!
A few examples:
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," he said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," he said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."
"The Mexican government ... they send the bad ones over."
"Whites killed by whites — 16%. Whites killed by blacks — 81%," said an image he shared on Twitter. Most people are killed by someone they know, and someone of the same race. The correct number for whites killed by whites was 82 percent in 2014, while the number of whites killed by blacks was 15 percent.
Get more of his lies at Politifact!
