This is Ray Mossholder. It’s SUPER SATURDAY!

This weekend is a time of mostly caucuses rather than primaries. Today caucuses are being held in Kansas, Kentucky, Maine and Nebraska. The one primary being held today is in Louisiana. Democrats will be involved with the caucus in Maine tomorrow while the Republican candidates will be full tilt into a primary in Puerto Rico. Let’s look at what’s at stake today and tomorrow:

Kansas: Kansas has voted Republican since 1940, with just one exception when Lyndon Johnson was voted by them over Barry Goldwater. Trump is expected to win easily. But he doesn’t like caucuses and much prefers primaries. Whether he can win all forty delegates remains to be seen.

Kentucky: The polls again show Donald Trump as the winner, but Kentucky is one of those states that often sets polls aside. Forty-three delegates are at stake.

Maine: So much as happened this week that could change things. Maine hasn’t had a poll taken since November. If Trump wins Maine after Mitt Romney’s tirade against him, echoed by another tirade from John McCain, plus many news anchors painting him as the devil incarnate, Trump victories should be harder to come by. If he wins Maine, Kansas and Kentucky, he will prove once again that – at least so far – he is the Republican voter’s choice. Twenty-three delegates are up for grabs in Maine.

Louisiana: This is the only primary being held today. Trump has a large lead in the polls there and forty-three delegates are at stake. But what every political pundit is watching for today is to see whether he’s been hit behind the knees hard enough by the Karl Rove-ites, a highly biased media, and at this week’s debate the continuing Rubio/Cruz food fight against Trump for two full hours.

Ted Cruz has his best chance to win in Louisiana and Kansas. Donald Trump is already one ten states. If Trump wins all five states today it will most likely mean that his enemies have helped him win with their constant barrage. Tomorrow, Rubio is the favorite in Puerto Rico. He needs something on the board beyond Minnesota.

Hillary Clinton has already won seven states. If she could sweep the four southern states today and then carry Puerto Rico tomorrow, she will appear unstoppable. Sanders, nevertheless, may give her a real run for the money since he is favored in both Kansas and Nebraska.

When I was a kid, I loved cowboy movies. I must have seen 200 of them at least. That’s why it’s impossible for me to tell you the name of the Western I’m referring to. But I remember a scene where a handsome stranger walks into a saloon and a beautiful bar girl walks quickly up to him and warns him “You’d better leave. This is no place for a gentleman.” That’s exactly what Doctor Ben Carson must have realized as he suspended his presidential campaign yesterday. If you were looking for a soft-spoken gentleman, and a Christian, to be the next president of United States, he just left. Doctor Ben Carson announced that he was dropping out of the race while he was speaking to the Conservative Political Conference in Maryland.

Ben Carson had declined to participate in Thursday night’s Republican debate. Throughout the debates, he has been treated as a nonentity; given the least amount of time to speak, yet said some things that caused him to be declared the winner of some debates by news anchors because of his using memorable statements. His great sense of humor coupled with his frustration of not being asked questions by the moderators, caused one of the funniest one-liners in all of debate history. In the final debate in which he did participate, after not being called on for many minutes, the doctor quipped, “Would somebody please attack me so that I can speak!”

Carson moved to the front of of the pack early in the campaign but then folded. He was never able to get his momentum back and he placed no better than fourth in any state election held so far. The retired neurosurgeon from Johns Hopkins prestigious Hospital is gone from the possibility of becoming our president in 2016, but he will now become the national chairman of My Faith Votes, a nonpartisan organization that exists to encourage Christian Americans to cast their ballots for Christians. The doctor may be gone from the campaign trail, but I predict he will be a voice to be reckoned with before this election is over.

Republican candidate Donald Trump said something in Thursday night’s debate that all of us should ponder. It’s a golden rule in the business world: “You have to be flexible because you learn”. Trump was saying that those candidates who never change their minds are like little boys who never change their socks or their underwear. To be fixated with an “I am right no matter what” attitude and to remain inflexible, means “My head is made up, don’t confuse me with the facts.”

Trump has changed his position from Thursday night until Friday on one subject. Thursday night during the debate, Trump said that he would wreak “a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding on terrorists.” Friday Trump said “I… Understand that the United States is bound
by
laws and treaties. I will not order a military officer to disobey the law.”

Trump’s change of opinion should show American voters how Donald Trump thinks. He is a businessman, not a politician. Highly successful businessman seldom decide everything on their own. They surround themselves with highly gifted people who are extremely knowledgeable in any area that the businessman wants to seek out. Though his rhetoric may sound like he simply shoots from the hip, his final decisions are never based on knee-jerk reactions. That’s why, in the last debate, Trump said that he would be consulting with generals who understand the full battle situations in each warring country before he would make changes or move ahead in any areas that would affect Americans.

Ever see Shakespeare’s play Macbeth? At the very beginning of the play there are witches stirring a pot who are murmuring incantations and casting curses on Macbeth. Well, that’s happening in real life right now. Only the curses are being cast on Donald Trump, many from the most unexpected places. You may have wondered why Donald Trump skipped the highly conservative CPAC conference in Washington DC yesterday where other Republican candidates spoke. It was because the Donald found out that a group of Republican good old boys were going to get up and walk out when he came to the microphone. To think, that’s how the Republican leadership is treating their frontrunner is once again another sign they don’t want Trump no matter how America votes. They want the power to decide our next president, one who they can control.

All three other Republican candidates teamed up to verbally attack the absent Donald Trump and berate him before the CPAC crowd. He wasn’t running for president, Trump would have every right to sue the three for slander. But it isn’t just them. Everybody from Fox News to National Public Radio are poisoning the airwaves to try to stop the Donald. Washington is scared to death that our government under Trump will go through a greatly needed facelift.

Meanwhile, Trump was campaigning at the same time of the conference in Kansas, and last night in Florida.

And finally… This story has nothing to do with politics but it was too good to miss. Not everyone calls 911 so that they can get their pants on. But in Greenville, South Carolina, a two-year-old girl did exactly that yesterday. And 911 sent a Sheriff’s deputy to help her. The woman deputy describes what happened: “I show up and she comes to the door with her pants half on, saying she can’t get them on. So I sit in on the stairs and help her put her pants on. And then she proceeds to asked me to pick her up and hug her. It made my day.”

The two-year old, Aliyah Ryan, has a caregiver. But she was asleep when Aliyah woke up. When her mother get home, the caregiver told her “Oh, the police came today to help Aliyah put her pants on.” The mother responded “OH, okay.”
