The HAT People

The MSM, in its usual wolf pack mode, is swamping us with polls from a caucus and a relatively minor liberal state, both of which are poor predictors of who will eventually represent the two major political parties. For the liberal main street liberal media, the election is on the line. Yippy!

Okay, if that did not sound all that enthusiastic, it was not. The Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary have only one real function; they display the weakness of the MSM to pick the actual front-runner for either party. Check your history on these two events. Hardly impressive. For the liberals, these contests represent their opportunity to push for their candidate(s). For conservatives, the MSM tries to politic for the candidates they want to lead over any legitimate conservative candidate to marginalize true conservative voices. Hence, the MSM shills for their picks to win it all in hopes of preventing a loser from emerging on the Democrat side and a true conservative from appearing on the Republican side.

However, given the track record of these two events, I am watching to see who is able to overcome the focus of the MSM when the real primary season starts. The real conservative candidates have already been written out of the picture by the MSM. The question is which one of them is working behind the scenes, that is, away from the focus the MSM is placing on the others. The candidate who understands that they are not out of it just because the MSM has declared who will have a chance, a very good chance to take it all. I am wondering, with interest, which one of them will actually win the GOP nomination. If history is a good indicator, he is not the one who wins in Iowa or New Hampshire and not the one picked by the MSM. Sorry about that, Mike.
