Can you feel the excitement and suspense?

Is MSNBC and (especially) CNN conveying the intense fun and competition between the repugs in Iowa? WHO WILL DARE CONFRONT TRUMP? OMG, the drama.

Not only that, some of them are RIDING MOTORCYCLES and eating pig. Who said repugs are boring? Wow. They are doing things and saying things and two of them are in a catfight about who is more authoritarian.

I am sure that CNN's tanking ratings will improve now.

I knew it would be nothing but a campaign rally. However, it seems like CNN has learned nothing.

I agree with you. It seems they've learned nothing.

I've posted here several time about my BFF who was a CNN addict, and I never would have believed it but she will not watch them anymore.

She's 70, extremely stubborn and when they started messing around with the various day and nighttime lineups, I thought I'd never hear the end of it lol. I dare not even mention the network unless I want to hear a diatribe.

Collins is young, so I hope she can improve. But I don't know. I think she is Licht's golden girl.

Wondering which tomato will ripen first, or which wildflower we will spot on our hike.

My wife and I have become utterly disconnected from politics for some time. And from TV for over a decade.

of waiting for the indictment and conviction of the Orange Menace.

Though I’m okay with letting go of the suspense……

all the breathless horse race coverage. Heck, I assumed it was held in Boone County, not at the fair grounds in Des Moines.

All I wanna know is:
Did Mother ride with Pence?
Did they wear bread bags instead of helmets!
