The Cattle Call

Just about every candidate for the US Presidency has made an appearance at the Iowa State Fair. For generations, Iowans were clear-headed Midwesterners, not easily having their heads turned by empty trappings. Donald Trump has become one of the most remarked upon visitors to Iowa. Trump arrived with his haircut and helicopter. Some Iowans were evidently impressed. I would not be so taken in with the Donald. There is no doubt that he is a master pitchman. If you listen to what he is selling, he is not the answer to America's problems. I do not think Trump will ultimately triumph in Iowa or New Hampshire. I think the race is Cruz to lose. Ted Cruz has the winning ideas and right convictions.
