The GOP Primary was over the second Trump formally announced.... This was predictable and should have been known by anyone who remotely has the capacity to critically think.
Trump, as of Jan 7, 2021, was the GOP nominee for 2024, so long as he chose to run. Once he announced the primary was effectively over.
It cannot be understated just how thorough Trump’s win was in IA. He didn’t just win, he won EVERY SINGLE COUNTY, period. He outright won or drastically improved in nearly every single demographic they measure.
CNN last night did let a few nuggets of truth come out during their self delusional “analysis” parts of their coverage... the most telling one was by their token republican, I forget his name, no not the ex Trump WH gal who backstabs him now every chance she gets, but the guy... He snuck in a rare TRUE thing, that they quickly moved on from and never mentioned again.
They were talking about the polling and how Trump is winning national polling and winning swing state polling fairly solidly, and they were doing their best to dismiss it.. Biden hasn’t shifted, now that its obvious he will be the nominee he will drop etc etce tc... and this guy said “Trump never had the lead in polling at anytime in 16 or 20”
Watching them try to ignore that statement and move away from it and then pretend it was never uttered the rest of the night.
Probably the most accurate and meaningful observation uttered all night, and if you would have blinked you would have missed it.
His improvement in Evangelicals and women was incredible. I watched that segment and you could see their faces drop. Without cheating he wins over 40 states.
