The first contest in the 2024 Republican primary race is is officially in the bag And the results for the Iowa caucuses were a seething cauldron of dullness and predictability. Donald Trump had led in the polls for months, against a slate of weak-kneed challengers who were either too afraid, or too infatuated, to criticize him.<\/p>\n

So, to no one’s surprise, Trump won the caucus vote in Iowa, a state where the Republican Party is staunchly to the right of Mussolini. This victory came despite the fact that Trump has been criminally indicted on 91 felony charges ranging from financial fraud, to inciting a violent insurrection, to stealing (and perhaps disseminating) classified documents, to undermining democracy. And if that weren’t enough, he has has been found liable for defaming and sexually assaulting writer, E. Jean Carroll.<\/p>\n

The fact that Republicans still support a legally and ethically crippled basket case like Trump reveals the depth of rot in the once “Grand”<\/em> old party. However, on closer examination of the electoral results, it is clear that there is much less to them than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

First of all, Trump won the fiercely conservative Iowa constituency with a bare majority of 51% of the GOP faithful. That means that 49% – nearly half – of the caucus goers voted for somebody other than Dear Leader Trump. For a former president, and the de facto leader of the party, that’s an abysmal showing. It’s so bad that Fox News had to bring in former Trump flunky, Kellyanne Conway, to peddle the absurd spin that “the big loser tonight is – Joe Biden”<\/em>? Yeah, that’s the ticket.<\/p>\n

??? Fox News has Trump's former White House Senior Advisor on for analysis and she says that "the big loser tonight is – Joe Biden" ??? Who wasn't running!<\/p>\n

Trump led with 51% – Which means that 49% of Republicans (nearly half) voted AGAINST Trump. That is NOT strength. https:\/\/t.co\/JTCYDtI1pA<\/a><\/p>\n
