I was pleased that Donald Trump came in second in the Republican Iowa caucuses even though the winner, Ted Cruz, is creepy beyond belief. But that a lying, narcissistic racist like Donald Trump is merely the second choice of Republicans is somewhat reassuring. On the Democratic side I was disappointed that Bernie Sanders didn’t soundly defeat Hillary Clinton, although even managing to tie her is a victory for him.
Sanders is a true progressive who consistently talks about the issues, not about himself. Republican Marco Rubio thanked God and Jesus for his third-place showing. Who knew God and Jesus were establishment Republicans? Hillary Clinton claimed she is a progressive who wants to get things done. Somehow, I find it hard to believe that a true progressive takes $600 thousand in speaking fees from Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs and $2.8 million from speeches to the healthcare industry. Who will she get things done for?
Bernie Sanders is the true progressive. Hope springs eternal.
It’s only your ageism. You like the idea of a President who will be 82 when he leaves office.
I love the idea of God and Jesus being moderate Republicans.

Sara has accused me of wanting to have a President who may have to have a hip replacement, although my x-rays showed no arthritis or wear and tear.
