In Russia there are the caucusus, a mountain range dividing the country. Although Iowa is flat it also has coccuses dividing the country. These caucuses are a sort of series of the tent revival meetings where the republicans and Democrats divide the country and indeed divide their own parties.
The republican caucuses were won by Ted Cruz whose message was a sort of book of revelations. His Pentecostal approach fell only just short of the handling snakes. He also had his preacher papa out at the churches, peddling his kind of reprehensible demagoguery. To add gravitas, Cruise also had Glenn Beck and the Star of duck dynasty. Oddly enough, Beck was unable to note the connection between the Russian in Iowa caucuses, clear evidence of some sort of dark left-wing conspiracy.
The runner-up Republican was Donald Trump. Trump, against all odds, managed to lower the intellectual content of his production by bringing in Sarah Palin. Her brand of unintelligible but authentic Alaskan gibberish has not changed over the years. Trump had hope to bring the America First party and Charles Lindbergh but was informed that they were no longer with us.
Marco Rubio managed to finish a close third by proclaiming his own greatness and straddling all issues. He thus became the mainstream, conservative, Tea party candidate.
The Democrats managed to finish in a virtual dead heat. Apparently this was a race between a socialist and a shill for Wall Street.
It is now on to New Hampshire, Home of the Manchester Union leader and the late William Loeb. It is also the state where prisoners at the State penitentiary produce license plates with the motto"Live Free or Die".
