49. Homogeneous NH and IA are as representative of a heterogeneous nation

Mon Aug 31, 2015, 10:27 PM

Aug 2015

Homogeneous NH and IA are as representative of a heterogeneous nation as Grosse Pointe is of Michigan, Sutton Place is of New York City, Palm Beach is of Florida , and Beverly Hills is of Greater Los Angeles...

As I said Bernard Sanders has as much chances of wresting the nomination from Hillary Clinton as Andre Berto has of wresting the pound for pound championship from Floyd Mayweather.
