We are deep deep in 2016 Iowa Caucus season.  Indeed, it is is less than 100 days away.

Most anyone who dreams of being anyone (so not Lindsay Graham) has run tv spots.

Interestingly, as far as I can recall, Donald Trump has not went to tv.  Though, he has went to radio.

There's two points to consider when talking about Donald Trump radio ads, in case you have never heard one.

1- They are exactly what you expect
2- Although the above is true, nothing can prepare you for a Donald Trump radio ad.

See what I mean.

Indeed, during the first 10 minutes of Saturday's Big Ten Football Championship, three Presidential ads had ran.

I joked that at this rate, we would have watched 300 ads by the Fourth Quarter.  My friend joked that anyone who ran an ad during the game ws getting crossed of his 'possible vote' list.  I laughed and agreed.

So with that in mind, here is who i am not voting for in 2016

Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Marco Rubio
Ted Cruz
Selden Henry

Wait, what?

Selden Henry barely shows up on a google search, but there he was in prime time.

Selden's ad was interesting (and utilized the 'mute' attention device) and is on his website, though I can't seem to get it to work for me.

So, since this may be his finest hour- let's talk some Selden.

He's a republican

He's George Washington's closest living air (sic).

He says: . I am cousin to Patrick Henry, William Wallace and English crown princes William and Harry. My family has a 700 year history of all wins and no losses in regime stabilization and change documented in museums on two continents. Along with my cousins who are better men than me, I have been taught since birth nation building and regime stabilization.

BOOM!  700-0 bay-bee!!

Although to be fair, he says that is not why you should vote for him (though that is the qualification he lists first).

After telling you who I am some people might think well he just thinks he’s all that or who is he to say he’s above us.  Perhaps some others thought of me believing I was lofty in some way. Nothing could be further from the truth, I have been engaged three times without ever being married. Not one of those ladies new what my ancestral line was. If one of them had married me they would’ve been informed of the family they had just married into. I have wisely protected my identity and anonymity all of my life.  I would not be telling you this now if I did not believe that our nation has never been in greater danger. I would not have given up my home, and quit my really great jobs if I did not know how to fix our problems.


Engaged three times, but none of those ladies took the plunge.  They could have been Mrs Washington the 35th, but they didn't know it.  Also, he left some pretty great jobs to run for President, something Lee Iacocca and Mario Cuomo never did.

I saved the nation from economic collapse in 2008 when I cut the price of gas in half. That gave the country a $500 billion dollar stimulus package. Our Congress did the same thing. They gave the country a $500 billion dollars stimulus package but they borrowed money, raise taxes and printed money to do it. All bad but necessary at the time. By cutting the price of gas in half I did the same thing that our entire congress did but I did it better.

Selden 1, Congress 0

I don't know what great job he left or how he cut gas prices in half.  What appears to be his LinkedIn page references some kind of Henry Oil Fund.  It's a pretty lofty claim that he saved the economy, but not much different than anything Donald Trump says.

After watching Chris Christie, with some pride and rightly so, state how many jobs and how much money he had created for his state. It occurred to me that I had given more jobs, created more money and wealth for Americas than all of the other candidates combined Democrat and Republican. I did it while I was homeless, without a job. Just imagine what I could do if I had a little power and a place to live.

With a shoutout to one of his opponents, Selden claims he not only saved the economy, but apparently while he was jobless and homeless.

Selden has a messianic message which sounds a bit outlandish, but tame in comparison to most Republicans these days.

World War III has started and our leaders have no strategy to deal with it. They have no idea how to combat forces that have America as the primary target. Your leaders have been lead into the desert where they are being schooled in the art of war. Our enemy’s strategy is textbook and flawless. I see no reason to believe that they will deviate from their path thus far. Their children play with rocket propelled grenade launchers, our children smoke pot and play Xbox games on TV.

He is not good at asking for money, but (spoiler) he will

I’m not good at asking for money. I’ve never in my life asked any man for money. To save my country and safe guard her children I would do anything. Including asking for your help in the form of volunteering an hour or two a week and sending in a small donation.

Selden's schedule has one event and you missed it

Come join Selden and his supporters as he helps open the newest branch of First Bank of Arthur, a stalwart institution of the Arthur, NE community.

If he is good enough for Arthur, NE (population 117), he's good enough for me.
