Drop Out Bingo: Pillars Of Salt And South Carolina

Genesis 19:26 says Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. New Hampshire is a burning mess of fire and brimstone but I can’t help myself from turning back as I prepare to leave my childhood home. By the time I get to Georgia, I should be useful as a deer lick.

 

That aside, I am enjoying a heaping serving of crow after Trump’s crushing victory. Without the evangelical brake that stopped him in Iowa, Trump spilled over the Granite State like a flood over the riverbanks.

I saw 60-year-old men pushing their 80-something mothers in wheelchairs into the polls to vote for Trump. I had a long conversation with a man who didn’t vote because he was upset that New Hampshire’s strange form of “open/closed” primary (you can’t change parties at the door, but you can change to Independent any time before Oct. 30 prior, or as you leave the polling place) didn’t allow him to vote for Trump because his last primary was a Democrat ballot.
