Trump wins Iowa caucus, second place up for grabs
Breaking News: Convicted Sex Offender, power mad megolomaniac, and very disloyal American neofascist scum Loser Trump wins Iowa before going on to lose the GOP the general election again.
I really hope you're right about him losing the general election.
what a surprise
this is in no small part because, i think, he's the only guy in the entire race who's actually an entertaining speaker. he's literally an entertainer, he just does riffs for an hour rather than droning on like every other politician ever. i know he's also evil, but it's a brilliant strategy. no one cares if you got the minutae of the 1994 pipeline marginalization act correct, people want to have a good time! simple as that
dont forget the part places like fox news play giving criminals a podium
It's natural for him. He couldn't read a speech and sound good at all, and he sure as hell couldn't talk about policy for a couple hours. The content of what he says is jingoistic, self-aggrandizing, vindictive, often nonsensical and generally awful, but that works great for his target audience, who have been raised on pastors saying nonsensical crap and outlets like Fox who were talking nasty nonsense years before Trump was a politician.
I guess he's entertaining for some people, but that fucker's voice makes my skin crawl.
I hate hearing people like Hannity or Limbaugh more, or whatever wretched people they have on Fox now whose job is to make nasty faces when they mention Democrats, but have definitely been sick of Trump’s shit for quite a while now.
I think this is very telling of the RNC political apparatus. Trump has largely operated outside of the official Republican platform, you know the actual Republican committee chaired by Ronna McDaniel. Largely avoided debates and the other political machinations. And has dominated the party.
Which if Trump can do that outside of the RNC it absolutely begs the question, what the fuck does anyone need the actual governance of the GOP political party's official arm? And the answer seems to be from this, nothing at all. Which to me signals a massive erosion of power from the actual RNC.
If Trump leaves politics for whatever reason, the power vacuum thereafter is going to be absolutely mind numbing. There's zero strength left in the RNC itself.
Wait hold up. Am I seeing this right? Only around 100k people voted in the primary? That feels… incredibly low. I would assume that’s even higher than most GOP primaries in the state, but this one has had unparalleled attention. I would have expected at least double that
MSNBC has declared Desantis #2 and Haley #3.
