Wow! What a night last night. Not that we cats stayed up until 3 AM watching returns, because we knew we could read all about it in the morning — but goodness gracious, things sure were tight on the Democratic side. Still and all, a win is a win is a win. And the Republicans weren't dull, either — even if they're all nuts. Here are a few Day-After feline observations.
Unsurprisingly, we'd say that Rafael Cruz, Jr.'s chances of getting the GOP nomination have gone up. Our current assessment is: Donald Trump 40 percent, Cruz 35 percent, Baby Marco Rubio 25 percent. Trump's chances hang on his ability to keep his lead in New Hampshire. Cruz's rest on his performance in the South on March 1. Baby Marco's? We'll see how quickly he can consolidate support from the other establishment candidates. (On the other hand, this time next week we could all be talking Kasich, Kasich, Kasich.)
Speaking of the establishment, if Iowa was never on Jeb! Bush's radar as his campaign now claims, why did he spend so much money there?
Believe it or not, it appears that Donald Trump was more gracious last night than Ben Carson was. And on the subject of Trump, it was interesting that one of the places Baby Marco beat him was in Scott County (Davenport). That's where the Trump campaign fired their organizer, who has since filed a sex-discrimination suit. Hm!
We love the way Hillary Clinton timed her speech to step on Cruz's. Fun!
But we are not happy with the rude chant that Bernie Sanders's supporters engaged in last night. First, we doubt that any of them could explain in detail the so-called "facts" behind the chant. And second, thanks for giving the Republicans a sound bite in the fall, guys. We cats wouldn't do that to your candidate, and we HISS.
