DES MOINES, Iowa — For five days, the royal-blue bus rumbled through miles of cornfields alongside a popular annual bicycle trek across Iowa. It showed up at a country music concert in Cherokee and at a bacon festival in Ottumwa.
And when the hulking vehicle with thick white block letters that spell T-R-U-M-P pulled into a Wal-Mart parking lot in Fort Dodge this week, people flocked to it. It didn’t matter that Donald Trump wasn’t inside. The bus alone — with the “Make America Great Again” slogan extending across its sides — created an irresistible oasis of celebrity politics amid a desert of minivans and shopping carts.

Donald speaking in New Hampshire starting live on CSPAN and Greta right now. Big crowd. Any live threads started? His presser before hand was good!
Bacon festival, eh. Did any muzzies show up?
“I want to grab that corn like you’ve never seen”
Corn? That’s Nebraska. Iowa’s a WHEAT state. He’s finished. He’s toast. No way to recover from that screw-up.
At this point I expect iCarly and most of the men to pile on, and DEMAND he quit the race because of this. Look, in particular, for Kasich trying to get support to build upon his 0.0003423% support level.
