A Fore Gone Conclusion

And the winner is? Donald J. Trump. Most Republicans weren’t expecting a different outcome in tonight’s Iowa GOP Caucus. And they weren’t looking for a different outcome. From the start, most national polls have been predicting the result over the past eleven months. 

Unless someone lived under a rock, they knew Donald J. Trump was the winner. The polls sometimes get it right, but even a stopped clock is right twice daily. Not to mention that trends and history — mostly — repeat themselves in Iowa’s Presidential caucuses.

Former President Donald Trump won the Iowa GOP Caucuses by a margin of 51 percent. His closest follower Ron DeSantis came in with 21.3 percent of the votes.

Against All Odds

Although legacy media chose Nikki Haley as their candidate to push, it did not take a rocket scientist to see that most Americans don’t trust her. In Iowa, Haley was racing against all odds, decked out in a suit of lead and five-inch heels. 

As a presidential candidate, Nikki Haley’s strong point — aside from grafting — is to quarrel with Vivek Ramaswamy and speak with her teeth clinched like a ventriloquist. Because of political correctness, no one wants to say the quiet part out loud: Nikki Haley is very unintelligent. And folks say VP Kamala Harris is ditzy?

Running Against The Wind

Is the Iowa GOP Caucuses a rock-solid barometer of who will take the White House? No, it is not a guarantor for Democrats or Republicans. But from the beginning of the Republican 2024 primary. In the 2016 GOP caucuses, lying Ted Cruz crushed Donald Trump in Iowa, only to begin his downward spiral that allowed the RNC to give Trump the nomination.
In the 2020 general election, Trump beat Biden in Iowa with 53 percent of the Iowan caucus’ votes to 45 percent.

Except for Ron DeSantis, the other candidates were clearly out of their league — standing next to Trump. Florida Governor DeSantis squandered his chance of becoming President by making his campaign all about attacking African Americans. This method was a scare tactic that worked in Florida. However, it took more work to sell his nonsense nationwide.
