can you believe this? that debate was three hours. it felt like more than that. i think he s pooped. i think running for president is hard. i think maybe he just needed a day off. but the news did get just weird today. trump and otherwise. mr. trump is due to appear, i kid you not, at a high school homecoming dance tomorrow in urbandale, iowa. we ll see if his business transaction is completed in time for him to make it. this is in response to a twitter campaign run by the students of that high school under the hashtag presidance as in president come to our dance. they re getting donald trum top speak to them tomorrow before they dance. mr. trump s own high school, the military-themed prep school he went to in the 1960s which he says made him feel like he was in the military even though he wasn t, that high school has just gone bankrupt and has been put up for sale. there was an ad for people who might want to buy it this week in the new york times. you can buy donald trump s hi
$170 billion at the v.a. and you re a conservative. well, talk about how you re going to fix it. are you going to they do mention complaints about the v.a. they just don t what they do now is say i m going fix the v.a. which is like saying i m going to fix washington. it s the new throwaway line in politics. we need people to hold them accountable the media to hold them accountable. the candidates are responsible too. they blew an opportunity in two debates to talk about these issues which are populist issues. we re not talking about a small group of people. 22 million veterans in america and our members vote about 93%, 94%. they vote. they re involved. you go to iowa, new hampshire you re going through veterans halls, you re talking to veterans. you really need to bring some serious policies. also remember we ve got folks in iraq and afghanistan right now. they couldn t even talk about that. they want to be commander in chief. this is both parties. both parties are not addres
average of less than 5% in iowa. so if he s admitting that he has to win there or that s it, that is not a good place for him to be and that is not a good strategy for him to be admitting. scott walker s not the only one, though. a lot of people are struggling right now. it made for some more weird news today. rick santorum is polling at less than 2% in iowa even though he won iowa in 2012. rick santorum is at the point, especially after he also made no hay at the kids table debate wednesday night. he s at the point where he knows he needs to be reassuring people that he s not dropping out of the race. rick santorum today to that end i think sent out a big splashy press announcement about some totally uninteresting non-notable campaign hires. this is basically rick santorum getting up on his tip toes and saying not dead, not dead. jeb bush is supposed to be top of the heap at this point in the race but he is also struggling in his own way after mixed reviews on his debate performanc
