I'm really sick to my stomach at the media for how they're twisting this debacle.
John Fugelsang posted a great comment on X about this:
-14% of registered voters showed up to vote
-half of them voted from Trump
-that means 93% of registered voters chose not to vote for Trump.
But...the media is hyping it as a monumental WIN for Trump and that Trump DOMINATED. Give me a break.
Even MSNBC got in the mix with a graph of campaign donations. Biden had something like $117 million and Trump $38 million - but on the graph the bars were almost neck and neck. Not half, not a third. It's disgusting.
When I see a story about Drumpf’s “dominance”, it’s channel flipping time.
As we know, he couldn’t even keep a casino profitable. He’s a loser who has taken America down the tubes, so Americans who put our country first, over politics, need to lose HIM.
The Evangelicals need to be faced with harsh reality at grassroots level. I would love freeway billboards strategically displayed close to the billboards that promote religion and extreme political comment,. "My" billboards would state: " TRUMP IS NOT YOUR SINNER HE IS YOUR DEVIL"
BTW Mike, did you notice that a lot of the caucus voting involved putting paper ballots in paper grocery bags or popcorn buckets, and said containers being passed around? Seems hypocritical on their part since they were always harping about voter security.
The GQP's evangelical base: What are they evangelicals of? They say it's Jesus Christ, but it seems like they are worshipping a false idol instead, like Baal or the golden calf, only this time the false idol is orange. Some pundits on MSNBC yesterday talked about all of the pretzel logic, contradictions, and excuse making that so-called evangelicals make for their orange "savior". Barry Goldwater was right about them.
Sakina, the "evangelicals" have moved away from any religious base fervor, they are now actively pursuing a white nationalist agenda of no dark skins, no LGBTQ+,no immigrants and no freedom for women. The religious aspect is just a failing cover, in fact, there is a major drop of so called "evangelicals"attending their churches. We need to rename these people, I personally like "domestic terrorists".
Trump fans are either billionaires who want another tax cut or religious fanatic lunatics. We can't forget the racists, misogynists, gun freaks, and homophobes either....the worst of America.
I just love it when a 80%+ white state gets the primary season off and running without it being a swing state. The pundits begrudgingly gave a cursory nod to trumpanzee, who flung his normal fecal matter and attempted what can be generously called a come together call out. With the numbers cited, my take is that by the time the circus finishes with the non-minority states, the real tale of the tape will tell us the real deal. Swing states will reveal the emperor indeed has no additional appeal to add to his hail Mary campaign. Let the delusion keep the gop busy not doing for people and herr fuhrer spending donor cash on a fools errand, the bloodbath in the distance awaits...
I would be ecstatic for Biden to trounce the former guy in an electoral landslide and get well over 80% of the popular vote. That probably won't happen, but I believe that he will win. We can't have a repeat of 2016.
Terrific analysis, and sorely needed. My concern is that the GOP is so extreme in wanting a dictator that they will take any means in which to institute it. Trump losing won't stop them, but might embolden them to attempt to snatch the WH from Biden, using violence if necessary.
They actually interviewed someone who said they couldn’t vote for Ramaswamy because his skin was too dark and he had a funny name. I must admit I was scared--obviously knew this would happen, but the media hype basically saying that these old rural white grouchy men have already decided the future drives me nuts, because the media almost wants a self fulfilling prophecy out of this! They’re saying oh it’s all over. Do people really think this is America? The media needs to get its shit together, am so sick of this. And I do hope Haley wins NH for the sole reason the media will have to deal with it. Frustrating. BTW, for those of you that also subscribe to Dean’s newsletter he had some very positive things today including a state race in Florida that was quite heartwarming!
Who the hell would vote for the bs we are living thru now? You people are sick-o’s! I’ll take Trump any day of the week! The country was doing great under Trump- it’s going to hell in a hand basket now. All this lawfare is going on to stop Trump because the Democrats and Rinos little money fest will end. I hope all the damned illegals coming in get your job and make your life a living hell that is happening to so many legal Americans. God help you.

The media is giving the orange criminal constant coverage. I could tear my hair out!!!! GRRR!!!!!!!!!!
SOOOO infuriating
Some additional demographics:
Only 23% of the caucus participants were under age 45.
Of these, only 9% were under 30.
56% were men.
That Trump is popular with old, white dudes is the least surprising news item of the year.

So true!! Who bankrupts a casino - the house always wins. What part of that didn't he get 🤣🤣🤣
There’s so much “under the surface” regarding who supports him. He’s a snake oil salesman who drinks his own snake oil.

And add:
Beware losing Social Security and Medicare benefits.
Pray for a relative giving you a large inheritance or winning the lottery to pay your future bills.

Agreed! So we should not call these people "Christian" anything!

The most recent Lincoln Project "dictator" ad showed an image of their GOO idol on a cross with the American flag as his loin cloth. Seriously!
Was going to come here to talk about the Lincoln Project’s new ad, it’s great!

I want Rump to lose bigly. My fear is another insurrection by his white supremacist fans.

⸸RUMP$ followers are all MEGA MAGA church Evilgenital$!
And now a reading from the Book of Genitals: Subtitle; 2 Corinthians walk into a bar,
[1:666] In the beginning, Dog created heaven and dirt,
[2:666] With dirt, Dog added the jawbone of an ass, with a flaxen mane,
[3:666] Then Dog said, let there be pestilence and blight,
[4:666] And ⸸rump was to the Manor born; and thus he spake,
"Today's word is Legs,
Spread the word!"
And he and Epstein lived happily ever after!
That's all Folks!

I agree. I was at a the Republican caucus in conservative Pella, Iowa. Here is my take. Thanks. https://rleonard.substack.com/p/on-trumps-historic-iowa-caucus-win
Wow. I know where to come to now to understand the level of programming being pushed onto the midwits.
This has to be the funniest comment section I've read in ages.

Thanks for weighing in Faux News.
NH Gov. Sununu endorsed Haley, but that did not seem to help much.
