Goodness, I have been getting behind with my posts, I need to get out more, get a life so I have something to blog about. But you must pretty well know my routines by now, and I am sure you don't want keep hearing the same things over and over. Like I went to the hospital this morning but didn't see anyone from the chaplaincy, Bill is in Florida taking a turn at looking after his mother who is recovering from a bad fall.
I didn't stop for lunch there, I picked something up and came home to the Presidential Campaign which is all that is on the news at the moment; even the weather and the places where there is heavy snow have taken second place.
Trump came second in the Republican debates in Iowa, and he was a gracious loser for all of five minutes before saying Cruz had stolen the victory and he - Trump - wants a 'do over'. However, absolutely no one was countenancing a do over.
What I just can't fathom about Trump - and I have never heard anyone else even challenging him on this - is that he repeats over and over again, every single time he is on a podium, that "he is going to bring jobs back to America, back from China and Mexico, they are ripping us off" and he is going to put a stop to it. It really doesn't need much grasp of economics to understand that goods from China and Mexico are very much cheaper because labour is so much cheaper, and if Americans were producing these goods in the US no one would be able to afford them. And as I say, I just don't know why SOMEONE doesn't point this out to him.
Tomorrow the candidates and their followers are moving on to New Hampshire. I guess all this politicking is going to carry on until the Election is November, which seems ever such a long time off.
I feel like saying they should be like us and do it all in six weeks. But then there is more area to cover here.
