So I guess this should make me happy.

I noticed the numbers in the Iowa caucuses. Yes the orange shit head ran the table for the rethug caucuses, but the sheer difference in the numbers does give me a little bit of hope.

Some 40,000 poople caucused for the republicans.


....some 140,000 people caucused for the non republicans.



If this holds true across most of what is to come, dare I hope?

because GOPukes that don't want tRump have basically given up. If they thought there was any chance to even make a statement, I think the numbers would have been larger. Heck, I'm actually surprised that 40,000 of his trained sheep showed up.
