Iowa Caucus Sidebar

The United States of America hasn't had an ugly president since Richard Nixon, and he got elected because his actual 1968 opponent was Abbie Hoffman, even uglier.

We've noticed that most of the GOP contenders infesting Iowa these days -- and all the faves -- are rather attractive people who look really nice on television, even Donald  Trump (Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your comb).

It's hard to be confident that a good result will follow electoral strategies derived from  What Not to Wear and recent advice from the Hair Club for Men and L'Oreal.

The problem with Trump (one of many) is that he gives the Left every opportunity to validate their stunted, cartoon view of Capitalism (and Republicans specifically) as some kind of country-club Scrooge McDuck-Warbucks, swimming in a pool of cash and coins.
