Trump and Iowa - Election 2016

The New York Times: Reports on the Trump Campaign in Iowa, " Compared with the well-oiled machines of other leading candidates in both parties, particularly that of the Cruz campaign, the Trump ground game in Iowa seems partly an afterthought, as if Mr. Trump’s strategy is to leverage his charisma.. "

Lets Get Real:

The liberal NYT is not friend of Donald Trump, in that this blog shares its views, but the above article goes out of its way to show that some of the Trump voters are very extreme boarding on mad. It can be argued that the Trump Campaign is hoping that the crowds that turn up for Trump speeches will turn out in the cold night of February to support Trump in the Iowa Caucus, thus the candidates need a great ground game, in this  the NYT gives points to Senator Cruz.  It should be noted that Reagan lost Iowa in 1980 but went on to win New Hampshire and from there the Presidency.   The winner of Iowa in 1980 was Bush 41, but he could not build on this victory.  In 2008 Obama won Iowa but lost New Hampshire to Hillary Clinton, but the Obama campaign had a better ground operation than HRC, and thus won the nomination.  It will be a long night in Iowa. 

How to Appease Iran - Iran Nuclear Deal

BBC News: Reports " The US has thanked Iran for the swift release of 10 US sailors held for entering its territorial waters. "

Lets Get Real:

Even Iran would not throw away the 150 billion dollars held by the US in FROZEN Tehran assets, thus the US Sailoers were released.   The US/Iran deal is a farce, it can be postulated that within a few years IRAN will be a nuclear armed power like North Korea.   It is not to far to say that President Obama is the new Neville Chamberlain and the deal is the modern Munich of 1938, lets hope the next Republican President tears up the deal and also ObamaCare.    At we only have less than a year to a new President, it can be postulated that President Obama is up there with Nixon and Johnson and the worse President in modern Presidential history. 

Obama's Final State of the Union Speech - Election 2016

The White House: President Obama's Final State of the Union Speech.

Lets Get Real:

The speech was one long attack on Donald Trump. the Trump Campaign must have loved it, it showed to the Republicans  voters who the Obama White House is really afraid off,  also it was  a legacy tour, POTUS stressed ObamaCare and the deal with Iran, after nearly eight years in the White House you would think there would be more, more meat on the bone when it comes to political success, but when you have a failed Presidency you do not have that much to show for it, your legacy depends who your successor is, thus one can expect the White House to do favours for the Hillary Clinton Campaign, of course HRC has to win the nomination first.
