AMES, Iowa — For six months, some of President Trump's most implacable foes have invested great hope in two Republicans, former Rep. Joe Walsh and former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, who are challenging the president for the GOP nomination. Could they do some damage to Trump's reelection prospects?
Tonight, in Iowa, that hope was put to a first test. It failed.
In the state's Republican caucuses — yes, there were Republican caucuses, even though the competitive Democratic caucuses received all the attention — the Walsh and Weld candidacies fizzled.
In the end, Trump won 97.16% of the vote, to Walsh's 1.08% and Weld's 1.27%. Others, write-ins of various people, totaled 0.47%. It was a striking show of strength for the president.
Beyond that, turnout was high for a year in which an incumbent president is assured of re-nomination.

“Beyond that, turnout was high for a year in which an incumbent president is assured of re-nomination.”
For those who care about the freedoms of all of us, of each of us, every Presidential election has become a choice between hope and utter despair. One Party is hell-bent on taking them away, permanently. Ask any Democrat which of the Bill of Rights they don’t want to muck with, undermine, hamstring, or eliminate altogether. Thus the enthusiasm for stopping them.
...and people generally don’t bother to read all caps. Tough on the eyes (and brain). Use of them STRATEGICALLY is far better.
