No GOP candidate has ever won the Iowa Caucus by more than 12 points. Trump just won’t it by 30 with 95% reporting.
This HISTORIC landslide is a catastrophic indicator for DeSantis, Haley, and Vivek supporters, as well as the Dems.
Trump LOST Iowa in 2016 to Ted Cruz, 27.6% to 24.3%. Trump just secured 51% of the vote by himself in 2024. That’s a seismic shift. Even if the anti-Trumpers were to go all-in on one candidate, they STILL couldn’t beat Trump.
Trump’s base are energized and just made an emphatic statement to kick off election season. The media are in a full-blown panic because they know this performance indicates their propaganda is not working. Trump is more popular than ever.
I would expect the anti-Trumpers to consolidate their support behind one candidate, but so long as Haley and DeSantis both stick around, Trump will keep winning comfortably. Vivek doesn’t have the numbers to contend in 2024 and reportedly just dropped out of the race. He would be wise to endorse Trump, try to salvage support, and perhaps get a job in the administration where he can earn his stripes.
The People have spoken. Trump is going to be the candidate. Expect the Deep State to deploy all assets, because if the status quo remains, Trump will reclaim the White House.
