Voting is hard. Whaaaaaaa…..

The Iowa Caucus turnout was 15%. 

Of Republicans. 

That’s it. 

FP Trump won 56,000 of 110,000 votes cast (approximately). 

In other words, Trump won with less than 8% of Rs casting a vote for him. 

There are many reason for this: 

  • he was expected to win big so people opt out because “it doesn’t matter” 
  • bad weather (lame)
  • but most importantly - Republicans SUCK at showing up for primaries. 

Would the outcome be different with a larger turnout? I have no idea. 

Were there another 10,000 DeSantis voters in Iowa who could have showed up to give their guy a better chance at staying in the race? 

Were there another 10,000 Democrats who could have showed up for Nikki? lol. 

Danger Danger Danger 

1/3 of R voters polled in Iowa say they will not vote for FP Trump if he is a convicted felon. 

Do I believe this? Not really. 

But it doesn’t have to be 1/3 to be a disaster. 

What should the GOP do? 

Go full MAGA. 

That’s it, that’s all I’ve got. 

Have a great day,
