There may indeed be a feeling of disappointment amid many political followers who support Donald Trump today. A sense of disappointment because he did not win the Iowa caucuses.
However, long-time readers here will probably not hold as much angst at the result; and just about all of us are overly familiar with the sense of futility against it all.
These 2016 events are predictable, very predictable. They are so predictable we outlined exactly how they would take place back in 2013, more than two years ago.
Before reading further – GO HERE AND SEE – These events are not organic, they are born from a very specific origin. We stated in November of 2013 that Senator Marco Rubio would be propped up by the political machine in the 2016 Presidential race, for a very specific purpose.
There are trillions of dollars at stake. The characters who indulge themselves within the scheme and graft will do anything to retain their place, power and influence. None of this is happenstance. (more…)
After placing second in the Iowa caucuses Donald Trump delivers a brief speech prior to heading for New Hampshire:
At 11:30pm with 95% of Precincts reporting Candidate Ted Cruz appears to have won Iowa. CNN is calling the race for Ted Cruz.
Additionally, Marco Rubio has done exceptionally well in the populous areas of Davenport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Des Moines. In the major metropolitan areas Marco Rubio has placed first which has pushed, Cruz to second and Donald Trump third.
A significant percentage of the high voter turnout was to the benefit of Marco Rubio. Donald Trump won some of the more conservative counties, but in the areas where the GOPe, or establishment Republican party, hold strength – Marco Rubio was able to pull enough votes from Trump to provide Cruz a victory and make the race closer.
The GOPe executed a strong game in Iowa.
Fantastic News !!! This is beyond stunning. 25% of Federal Government Employees agree to quit their jobs if Donald Trump wins the presidency. This action would thereby guarantee a balanced budget within the first fiscal year of his administration.
(Via Executive Government) Donald Trump leads the Republican field among federal employees, but many still say they would never work for him.
One in four federal workers would consider leaving their jobs if Trump were elected president, according to a new survey conducted by the Government Business Council, Government Executive Media Group’s research arm. About 14 percent of respondents said they would definitely consider leaving federal service under President Trump, while an additional 11 percent said they might. (more…)

Volgarian8301 asks: “I’m curious about something from the folks who have been here through previous elections. I have only been in the Treehouse a little over a year, so I have not experienced an election with a group like this.
How does the level of excitement, (or in my case nerves) compare with previous elections. Were you guys this excited and sure of the candidate in previous years? It feels like Christmas Eve when I was a child, like it will never get here, and the expectations…oh my!!
I never followed politics until this election and I have learned so much from this site. With that said, however, I’m going from anxious to elated, from completely sure to letting doubt creep in. We can’t get this one wrong!!
Just would like some insight on the feel of this year in comparison to past elections, from the members who have been here longer than I have.”...
This provides a great opportunity to jump into a great conversation, because there is actually a comparable. (more…)
