Trump in Iowa: Lies and More

        The campaign of the oft-indicted former President Donald tRump is up and running against one of the weakest group of Republican hopefuls since Lincoln ran in 1860( a long time ago indeed). His campaign message(s): more of the same tired slogans he used to hoodwink potential voters. He says: Joe Biden cannot protect Democracy; He-Biden- cannot run this government; and the biggest lie-his loss in 2020 was caused by fraud among voters and their Democratic lever pullers. 

      Never mind that there's no evidence that supports his outrageous claims and his outrageous lies. He is a megalomaniac-ask any psychologist. Books have been published with all his characteristics labeled and identified. As more media publish his statements, any thinking person can see through the smoke and mirrors he sometimes uses to make his case.

       Sadly, even in Iowa, other candidates have hardly nudged the numbers away from this sad sad American anomaly. The Iowas caucuses are a few weeks away; Florida governor Ron DeSantis has covered all the ground in the state, visiting every county, hoping lightening will strike and his poll numbers will somehow improve. I don't think so.

      Nikki Haley, former Governor of South Carolina seems to be improving among likely voters. Maybe she can overcome her lack of impact. maybe not.

     And the tRump keeps dodging criminal conviction(s). His civil trial in New York is winding down with closing arguments next week and a judge's ruling in January. The State of New York is hoping to recover in excess of $250 millions and seeks to ban the Trump company from doing business in New York State. The Judge already ruled the company is liable; and he'll decide how much.

      Will  a decision sway Trump and family? Not likely.
