“This caucus, let’s face it, marks the beginning of a long, rigidly-controlled, carefully choreographed process that is really designed to do two things: weed out dangerous minority opinions, and award power to the candidate who least offends the public while he goes about his primary job of energetically representing establishment interests.”

“…the candidate who raises the most money wins an astonishing 94% of the time in America. That damning statistic just confirms what everyone who spends any time on the campaign trail knows, which is that the presidential race is not at all about ideas, but entirely about raising money.”

“…in the end, once the primaries are finished, we’re going to be left with one 1%-approved stooge taking on another.”
