Iowa is Too Early

Some people make a living covering politics, constantly criticizing the other side, and all of its affiliates but most of us prefer to rally toward a common interest such as music or sports.

The voting for the the Iowa Caucuses is on February 3, 2020. Not only could a whole lot of impeachment news be happening, but also, it's day after historic NFL ratings commence with a champion in the super bowl.

I can see why Bernie Sanders is dominating the polling right now. His young, inexperienced supporters who believe that everything is rigged against them are bound to show up at his caucus. This message was the same one that Trump propagated through hate.  Trump loves Bernie because Sanders's message is divisive and will leave enough democratic voters at home for Trump to be elected for another 4 years.

This is my early doomsday scenario.

Who I Am Politically

I am writing this first blog posting not only to introduce myself to you, the readers, but also to test the waters to see whether or not my observations are similar to yours.  First off, while the economy especially the stock market has been performing like gangbusters our President has put a lot of others through a lot of harm.

He also uses hatred by emboldening white supremacy, using Twitter to attack Jews, Mexicans, Muslims and many other minorities as well as caused lots of uncertainty for our farmers with his un-called-for trade wars and de-humanizing treatment toward women.  He uses his lawyers to pay off his mistresses and has been quoted as say it's okay to "grab women by the pussy." He claims to promote "family values" all while "coveting thy neighbors wife."

In my opinion, if the United States is a shining beacon morality belongs back in the White House.

Where do I fit politically? I'm a centrist. Our government needs to spend less money on trivial things and do more with great ideas. I do believe climate change is the issue of our time.

Right now, I do not really have a party. Actually, I have always been an Independent.


Please leave me a comment or two and I will try to address it during the next couple of posts.
