Is Trump done?

    Maybe if the New Hampshire primary doesn't give his campaign the momentum he feels he needs to continue. But in any event, he's used his own money, he's been upfront about his previous contributions to politicians on both sides of the aisle. If not anything else, he's called out policies that are stupid, treaties that stick it to us and put everyone on notice about who's screwed up and who's stupid. All on his own dime. So whether or not he continues, his ability to put all of the failed policies in front of the American voters will have the democrats leaning a little more to the center.
    Once the conventions are over, the Republicans can feast over the failed domestic and foreign policy failures of the last 8 years. Obamacare will hopefully be repealed. The Iranian deal negated (sanctions restored), a more focused approach to illegal immigration and jihadist Islam will be put in place.
    The current socialist approach to government doesn't work here. Military deserters shouldn't be welcomed home with Rose Garden press conferences. If a David Petreus can be prosecuted for possessing classified information, then too should the former Secretary of State. Eric Holder should have refuted the "Hands Up-Don't Shoot" movement the instant it was found to be fabricated.

    The current occupant of the White House has forgotten this is a democracy and that checks and balances are in place to ensure it. The sooner the Obamas and the Clintons are gone the better. Nobody in the country is above the law, especially those in a position to enact them.

    You guys are taking the Iowa Caucuses way to serious.

    The caucuses are kind of like a straw poll at the Holy Name Smoker.

      No they are binding and winners walk away with delegates needed to secure the nomination. Also, if you don't do well, then it can be a turning point in your campaign because if you place poorly, many people may rethink supporting you financially. And if the money starts to dry up, then so does your campaign and you begin to wither. It certainly is not the decider by any stretch, but it is the beginning....and also the beginning of the end for some.

    Not so sure. He may be a clown, but his early trumping of illegal alien crime sure got millions to wake up. All the others moved to an enforcement position and yesterday a de funding measure was proffered by Congressman Culbertson that I'm certain the Repubs will all endorse.

    Don’t put too much credence is Trump’s loss in the Iowa caucus.
    It really isn’t significant.
    Why?
    Because the votes in Iowa were restricted to registered Republican voters and a lot of them are sticking to the party line.

    Trump’s support among Republicans is out on the periphery.
    The Democrat establishment knows a lot of registered Democrats favor Trump. According to The Upshot by Civis Analytics, a Democratic data firm, Democrats in the South, Appalachia and the industrial North support Trump.
    In early January Mercury Analytics, a research company with clients that include MSNBC and Fox News, conducted an online poll. It revealed a full 20% of Democrats said they would go against the party line and vote for Trump in a general election.
    Independents are a large factor as well.
    An IVN poll conducted in September showed 25.9% of them going for Trump.
