Deep dives
Trump's narrow victory in Iowa caucus
Contrary to headlines suggesting a landslide victory for Trump in the Iowa caucus, the actual results show that Trump only won by a narrow margin. Half of the committed, passionate Republicans at the caucus did not vote for Trump. This demonstrates that there are other viable candidates close on his heels.
The importance of transparency in relationships
Being transparent in a relationship, especially in a marriage, is crucial for trust and understanding. The ability to have open and honest conversations, even about difficult topics, strengthens the bond between partners. Transparent communication allows for problem-solving, sharing concerns, and supporting each other in a genuine way.

It is important to differentiate between democracy and collectivism and understand the implications of blurring these definitions.
The complexity of lies and truthful relationships
While everyone may tell some lies in certain situations, it is vital to have honest and transparent communication in a relationship, especially when it comes to important matters. Building trust and understanding requires open conversations, even when facing difficult truths and potential disagreements.
