Matt Walsh on The Iowa Caucuses



Matt Walsh weighs in on last night's Iowa Caucuses, with his usual low key unassuming manner.  Here are a few excerpts:
This should be the end of Trump’s campaign. It won’t be, sadly, but it should because Trump’s one single solitary selling point was just destroyed. As we’ve covered ad nauseum, Trump is not a conservative, he has no principles, he has no integrity, he has no moral courage, and he lacks the judgment and wisdom to govern this country at such a volatile time, or at any time. But, up until now, he was a winner. He wins. He makes deals. He wins. He always wins. He never loses. He should win because he wins, we were told. That was always bunk considering the great “winner” bankrupted four businesses, destroyed two marriages, and failed spectacularly in many other ventures, sometimes so badly that he’s being investigated for fraud. But that was all in the past, and now after a lifetime of failures, he’d been reborn a perpetual winner. And winners win. Until last night...
Speaking of losers, the Democrat race is supposedly still locked in a tie. Hillary Clinton and Bernies Sanders both took 50 percent, with Martin O’Malley earning the support of his mother and two of his cousins (his dad said he’s really more of a Sanders guy). I say “supposedly” because I have no doubt that Clinton and her minions will do, and have done, whatever they can to steal this win. Six precincts came down to a coin flip (which is a thing in Democrat elections, apparently), and Clinton won all six of them. These kinds of “coincidences” have been happening to the Clintons for 30 years. They must be very lucky...
I won’t, however, celebrate the continued public humiliation of Hillary Clinton until, and if, a Republican president not named Donald Trump is elected president. If Hillary’s all around awfulness makes Sanders the nominee, and if Sanders somehow wins (which I think he will if he’s running against the reality TV show character) then we won’t have any reason to cheer. Hillary and Bernie are both terrible and would, to equal degrees, be disasters for this country. Bernie isn’t a crook and a morally bankrupt cretin like Hillary, but he is a rabid progressive radical who, if elected, would irreversibly complete Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Bernie’s ideas are equal parts insane, childish, silly, and dangerous. Worst of all, incredibly, he actually seems to believe them. He would be a catastrophe, and it could be said without exaggeration that America will be officially dead the moment it decides to elect an avowed socialist as president...
