2, February 2016 The IOWA election
Out of the chaos of the Republican race emerged a
probable centrist candidate. No, not Cruz and certainly not the loud,
egotistical, bombastic bully, Donald Trump. The disaffected Republicans seem to
have coalesced around Marco Rubio who adroitly wrapped himself in the mantle of
God and the Bible thrilling the evangelicals which is altogether perplexing
because none of the candidates have expressed concerns for the poor, a central
theme of Jesus’s teaching. On the plus side Rubio is young, energetic, photogenic,
highly articulate and Latino. Furthermore, Rubio polls well against the
putative, Hillary Clinton.
In the Democratic
election, the networks cautiously refrained from announcing a winner because
the results were too close to call, but the Clinton campaign went ahead and declared
victory. Conversely, Bernie Sanders decided to wait until the final count
saying the results were a virtual tie. Which candidate displayed more maturity
and judgment, a critical quality to those seeking the most coveted job in Washington?
