Bernie Sanders won big
last night in Wisconsin beating Hillary by thirteen points. NBC news had Sanders declared as the winner
after they had only been counting ballots a half an hour. All Norman Goldman could say was “Well I
guess Bernie fans should be happy today”.
He talked as if he’d rather have seen Bernie lose. The so called liberal press can’t stop
reminding us how difficult it will be for Bernie to get a majority of delegates
saying he’ll have to win 67% of all remaining delegates or whatever. I never heard Hillary’s speech. Donald Trump also lost big on the republican
side losing also by about thirteen points to Ted Cruz. I watched the Ted Cruz speech where he was
introduced by Governor Scott Walker. You
don’t mess with Scott Walker if you’re a Republican who’s survived three
elections in five years. That slavish
fan base isn’t going anywhere. But
before you start parading Ted Cruz around like the winning horse at the Derby
covered in roses- - keep in mind something Shawn said today. It’s funny how sometimes Shawn is the only
person who’s objective. Norman Goldman
is ready to declare a whole new trend of the campaign now that this “momentus”
win in Wisconsin has occurred. Both
Walker and Cruz made much out of the magnitude of the significance of this win
in Wisconsin. Both Walker and Cruz
talked on and on about recent delegate victories in other states, as did Norman
Goldman, who calls himself a liberal.
But Shawn said “Cruz shouldn’t necessary be too happy about the win”. In other words the democrats can stop popping
Champaign corks now that the dreaded Donald Trump as lost. Because Cruz is merely a pawn by the
republican establishment. They’re just
using him- - giving him help for now- - - in an effort to stop Trump, which is
their real goal. It could be they’re
hoping to “turn” Cruz establishment. To
me it’s an easy lift because I think this whole Shawn thing about the “liberal
establishment” in the Republican party is downright silly. When they begin calling people like Kasech
and Paul Ryan “liberals” you know you’ve slipped through the looking
glass. Cruz will find it rough sledding
the next few weeks when a lot of the Atlantic sea-board states vote. Mal Evans reminds us that as bad as some
people think Donald Trump is- - electing Ted Cruz would be a hell of a lot
worse. And anything that makes it harder
for Ted Cruz we should celebrate. (Selah)
This is Wednesday April
6, 2016 after dinner. As you know this will be the first blog entry since Saturday. Rates have really slowed down and you have this cold to blame for it. It's a real bear. It’s slightly
overcast. Rain is predicted tomorrow
with a major drop in temperatures. This
cold of mine can be said to have started late Friday a week ago. The cough began in earnest the following Sunday
morning and has been an issue ever since.
Tonight we had chicken drumsticks again, with mashed potatoes and
carrots with two oatmeal cookies for dessert.
For once Teresa isn’t looking for car today. She was just out for a stroll. I don’t know if it’s a five or ten day course
of antibiotics. I think already they
have helped my sinuses. Since I learned
I can have cough medicine every six hours I was down there just before one, and
again just after two- - and everything was closed. I got iced tea and fruited red Jell-O as a
snack from Dora. Later I went in to read
the menu and Dora was there with another Jell-O and I had that. I think the sweetness of it actually helped
my cough.. It’s been to five now so I
have just over two hours to wait. I had
Shawn Hannity on over the noon again and again after the refreshment
break. Friday will be four weeks since
Bill has been gone.
