    Did you mean concert or has Trump already got him in concrete?

    <laugh> There was a feed on my facebook page last night about Trump being banned entry into Britain. Given some of the comments that appeared it's safe to say that when it comes to brainless bigoted assholes we can't quite compete with the US yet. I was quite reassured! Mind, it's worth pointing out that the anti Trump crowd were in the majority.

    I see from news reports that Ms Palin's son Track was arrested on a domestic violence charge after punching his girlfriend and threatening her with a gun on Monday night. Good ol' wholesome values there....

    According to Wikipedia her kids names are: Bristol, Trig, Willow, Piper and Track. The girl's names I can live with, but Trig and Track?!

    the grandkids aren't much better - Tripp, Sailor and Kyla.

    Despite the Donald's non participation in the GOP's Iowa debate in Des Moines, he still stays firm in the betting for Monday's Iowa caucuses win. This will be the first real test of strength.

    Trump. 1-2.
    Cruz. 6-4.
    Rubio. 12-1.
    Cricket score odds the rest.

    Rubio might be worth a tickle at that price. Got to be a chance of Trump imploding and Cruz' support evaporating also.

    It seems that a slick working Ted Cruz team has pulled off the shock of the Iowa caucuses. Polls going into the GOP's side of things had Trump set to get the nod. But Cruz had a better handle on the political nous needed to take the Donald out. He worked the state for months, locking in evangelical voters. It was a win for political savvy over social media presence. Cruz 28%, Trump 24% and Rubio 23%.

    On the Democrat side, it looks as though Clinton may just have edged out Bernie Sanders 50% - 49%.

    Pundits are saying that Hillary has been wounded, and that Donald has had a crushing defeat.

    Despite Rubio finishing third among the Republicans in Iowa, betting predictions have him as a 55% chance of taking the nomination ahead of Trump at 31% and Cruz at just 7%.

    It might be a little early to be reading too much into the results of the Iowa caucuses. It happens to be one of the smallest areas in America so the result is often not significant. I read that the last time that Iowa voted for the subsequent Republican Presidential candidate was our favourite dimwit George Dubya Bush.

    The demographic in Iowa is apparently quite old, so poor weather may have kept some at home, plus it is religiously conservative, a fact that will not have helped the Trump cause. At the post-vote party, Trump looked more than a little flustered. Rubio is where the smart money will be.

    Watching the BBC News, it was reported that Democrat representation in the state is a small minority but as the Party have reported that Hillary Clinton only won by 0.2 per cent of the vote, she clearly has a contest on her hands against Bernie Sanders.

    Polls for the New Hampshire Primary show big wins for Trump and Sanders. Although the Iowa show caused a bit of a shock for Trump, his polling figures are huge for the 9th.

    The Saturday poll had Republicans. Trump at 35, Rubio, 14, Cruz 13, Kasich 10 and Bush 10. Others 4 and less.

    Dems. Sanders 55, Clinton 41.

    I suppose the final numbers will tell the tale. Will the poll numbers be as deceptive as those in Iowa? Both Trump and Sanders should win, will their returns be less than expected. I think most eyes will be on Trump. If he should get a 30 or less, will it be another slap for him?
