Who will take the Iowa crown?

[galbeedi]

Libaax, it looks the clown Trump is down. Cruz the waco bird is leading.

 

Cruz 29%

Trump 26%

 

I think it is going to be a good night.

[Che -Guevara]

It's a freak show.

 

It looks like Rubio is making a splash.

 

I feel for Hilary, but she is liability. Imagine if she get indicted.

[galbeedi]

Che, she could be charged . Even the state department said that almost 22 of her e-mails were top secret. Maybe They want to get her

 

Trump always bragged to be a winner. This will humble him. Rubio is okay, he could be a good vp for Bush.

[Che -Guevara]

Nothing will humble Trump.

Vote BERNIE SANDERS retarded Americans. The only people on earth stupid enough to reject free health care and social services paid for by the collective contribution of its citizens in taxes i.e. socialism.

Trump wasn't going to win Iowa but he is not out he will be the Republican candidate for the election. If Americans republicans can vote for bush twice I'm sure trump will win the Republican nomination.

Good for the Iowans to put a stop to Trump's gravy nonsense. Barring naive idealism popular at uni campuses, I do not see Bernie's appeal, but to his credit, he sure made Hillary think twice about her chances.

Really? Which of Bernie's policies do you not agree with?

[somalee]

Hillary won 6 counties via a coin toss! Unbelievable, really.

You missed the kernel of the post. the operative term was ‘naive’, but you instead opted for the popular soundbite common on talk radio.

 

Shall i start with his being a stern pro-Israel, pro lgbt, pro-choice? dare i continue. And i am not fooled by the boogie man at Wall street. Did i mention he is well past retirement age at 74. Is his signature policy 'free education for all' even feasible?

 

America is not Europe or Canada, and i doubt a self-proclaimed socialist stands a chance. his popularity reflects jitters felt by Dems with Hilary’s past. even 8 years of Obama have not softened up its capitalist leanings. if anything, more than ever, America is now leaning to the far right. check Cruz’s popularity in rural America - and i am not discounting urban America.

 

Political pragmatism is needed. promises are just promises. recall Obama in 2008. how did the 'hope and change' work out?

 

Worse outcome: Cruz at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

 

I am afraid the astroturf support for Bernie at unis will dissipate or end in tears. We are still waiting for Jaza to deliver. has he?

 

How he managed to claim 84% of 19-34 aga group in Iowas is beyond me.

It was a genuine question. Somalis will particularly benefit greatly from Mr Sanders' free healthcare and education. So I'm naturally surprised to see disapproval in a Somali forum, ma garatay? All American presidents are staunch supporters of the state of Israel, so that is a non-issue. As far as his liberal views are concerned with regards to LGBT and pro-choice, this is America not Yemen. I don't know why a Somali person would even be concerned with that to be honest.

Another miss there. pragmatism was the operative term.

There is already Affordable Care Act in place which provides free heath care, and because of it I now pay more in heath care than i did without it but i am ok with 40 million Americans having coverage if it means for top earners to pay a little more.

 

As for free education, even socialist Europe could not support that. and why not invest in your future.

 

Last time I checked Somalis were predominantly conservative. Or are the principles confusing you?

[somalee]

Invest in your future when you can afford it walaal. This is not about few Somalis. The vast majority of our people are poor. Somalis are conservative but there are far bigger issues at stake here and I honestly think they can overlook non-issues like LGBT etc. What is the key word I missed again? :-D Let's just agree to disagree :-)
