Trump now joins Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, and Mick Huckabee on the roster of the last four non-incumbent GOP caucus winners.

Found the sane Republicans, it’s just sad there aren’t more of them.

This is also sad, but true

The Iowa turnout was only 14% of the registered Rs in the state. And then roughly half of them want somebody other than Trump. I don’t think that’s a huge win for Trump. He can’t win the general that way, especially if 70% of Haley’s voters say they will not vote for Trump if he’s the nominee.

The good news is: 1) Vivek Ramasamy drops out ....and....2) The New Hampshire Primary will be a different story.

Conversely roughly 51% of them wanted Trump and I think it's safe to assume that 70% or more of Trump voters will not vote for anyone else if Trump is not the nominee. Desantis and Haley can't win the general without nearly all of the Trump voters either.

I don't believe for a second that the majority of Haley and Desantis voters won't vote for Trump. Most of them are going to pull a Sununu. The overwhelming majority of the remaining members of the Republican party care more about staying in power and sticking it to "libs" more than they care about Democracy.

They can say all they want to the contrary, but the proof is in their actions, not their less than honest words.

The New Hampshire Primary will be a different story.

We'll see about that in 7 days. You were absolutely certain that Haley would finish 2nd in Iowa.

Surely this is the last election cycle where we are having to choose between two boomers.
