So far in this primary election season the experts are scratching their heads. It was supposed to be a Hillary coronation and Jeb with his $120 million was supposed to crush all his opponents on the republican side. It's not exactly working out that way.
Hillary's crown is being stolen by a 74 year old socialist who for 25 years was an insignificant congressman who finally realized that if you offer people enough free stuff and convince them the system is rigged against them, you get votes. It is the classic democratic playbook but Bernie decided to take it to the extreme and caught the Hillary campaign with their pants down. And as of today 'The Bern' is slightly ahead nationally in one poll....wow the Hillary campaign has to be in a panic mode along with her big donors.
And on the republican side, in some polls Jeb is in last place even with 'W' campaigning with him. And tonight Jeb's campaign announced that they are bringing in the 'big gun'....mama arrives in South Carolina tomorrow. He has become the 'Rodney Dangerfield' on the republican side, spending millions of dollars and 'getting no respect'.
One message the voters are sending loud and clear; they are sick and tired of the so-called political dynasties and just want them to go away. The democrat's caucus is in Nevada Saturday and then they vote in South Carolina next Saturday. The republicans vote just the opposite. So in the next week the situation will become even more focused. Trump has maintained a solid 1/3 of the vote but with five others splitting the remainder. As others drop out (if they do) it will be interesting to see where those votes go. Trump also has other campaigns in a panic, and today keeping his name in the news he picks a fight with the pope while his opponents wonder what the hell is happening.
The talk shows along with Saturday Night Live are having a field day. Jay Leno on a guest appearance last night told this joke: "What do you call a person that digs up dirt on Bernie Sanders?...an archaeologist." I thought this was funny and sent it on to my liberal friends but got no response...why do liberals have no sense of humor? Stay tuned...

I laughed, it was a good joke.
Of course, I not a liberal, I'm a rational thinker. Some of the ideas of each side are good. It's too bad this great Nation can't field a candidate from the "Rationalist Party" and get rid of all of the free spending idiots on both sides of the aisle.
Democrats want to put their hands in every deep pocket to support people who may be disadvantaged, exploited, or incapable of earning a living wage in a society that has priced even a reasonable lifestyle out of existence. Republicans want to engage the war machine at every opportunity so that the industrial complex is well fed. Eisenhower predicted that would happen. Government is simply out of control, and this is the backlash that was predicted after the last election. With some luck we will see a significant turnover of over the hill legislators.
I agree on the 'over the hill' legislators. Florida has started the ball rolling voting for a 'Term limits convention'. The one thing that could correct the corruption in DC would be term limits. And it was what the founders envisioned. That is one constitutional amendment that would have broad bipartisan support.
Enough with the labels. It's like you're just regurgitating Fox News talking points. I'd like to think you're smarter than that.
Glad you called him on that, Michael.
Labeling Jeb "Dangerfield" while calling Bernie by his chosen handle is unfair. I'm not a news watcher so it's a surprise to learn Fox says the same.
"...picks a fight with the pope while his opponents wonder what the hell is happening..."
Man, I hope that was intentional. Pure comedy gold right there.
I have stated before this Blog includes sarcastic humor, sorry if it may offend some folks. I have no problem when comments refer to the Republicans a 'clowns' and buffoons (maybe because some are). :-)
I tend to have that sarcasm bug, too, although I'm not very good at it.
My earlier post is a good example of that, although I definitely love the quote I posted. That made me laugh out loud.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit, Jeb doesn't float my boat because of the way he looks and talks. I can't tell you the first thing about his politics.
Donald concerns me, Bernie scares me, Steve Forbes and his flat tax are looking pretty rational right now.
I'm with you Rod...Donald concerns me Bernie scares me; Unfortunately they are in front at the present time. There is lots of anger at the establishment out there. This next week should be interesting.
