Friday… Symphony tonight, Beethoven and Brahmes.  Iowa Caucuses next week… I’m wondering what difference the caucuses will make.  The huge question continues to be whether or not the Donald is really, truly thought to be the answer to a majority of Republicans wishes for a different kind of America, beginning with a wall across the southern regions of the U.S.A., or is he just part of the drama… and the “star” figure in the Republican debates or are the Caucuses and early commitments just part of the theatre surrounding the beginning of American political decision culminating in a real election in November?  The weekend talk shows will feature leaders in the parties.  I’ll try to avoid them, but I can’t keep myself from wondering what the conservative citizens of the country think these prominent leaders of their party can do change the country… Do they really want a Christian caliphate?  The last minute appeals to “church” people to make Rubio or Cruz or Trump their candidate in the general election are downright scary.  Either the candidate who pledges in front of cameras and microphones to be a devout follower of Jesus who will lead him and the nation into a heaven on earth is either a hypocrite or a fool… and neither a hypocrite nor a fool would make a suitable president.  Either way, the nation is not served well by the person making public, specific confessions of devout religious conviction just to get attention and affect his or her standing in the polls.
