Nolte: Trump Crushing Everyone in Iowa Per Des Moines Register Poll
Breitbart ^ | 11 Dec 2023 | John Nolte

Posted on 12/11/2023 11:26:41 AM PST by SoConPubbie

Former President Trump is now over the magic 50 percent mark in Iowa, per the latest Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll — a poll with more producers than a Bruce Willis direct-to-video movie.

Since an October poll, The Donald has jumped eight full points, from 43 percent to his current standing of 51 percent.

Second place Ron DeSantis is 32 whole points behind Trump with just 19 percent support.

And the latest media hoax, known as NikkiHaleyMentum, has just been debunked. The former South Carolina governor and United Nations representative sits in third place with just 16 percent support — or 35 points behind Trump. What’s more, Haley has not gained a single point since last month despite the media’s best efforts to pretend she is NikkiSurgeKochDarling.

Gee, I’m confused… Because the NeverTrumpTards and corporate media assured me that as the field of candidates shrunk, someone would rise as a serious and threatening alternative to the former president. Well, the field has shrunk, and now Trump is up eight points, while Koch Brothers Nikki remained flat at 16 percent, and DeSantis jumped only three points.

“The field may have shrunk, but it may have made Donald Trump even stronger than he was,” the pollster said. “I would call his lead commanding at this point. There’s not much benefit of fewer candidates for either Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley.”

The unicorn dreams of #GOPSmartSet go down in flames once more.

Iowa votes in less than five weeks, by the way.

For some real context, let’s look back at 2016…

Trump lost Iowa in 2016 to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — 24.3 to 27.6 percent. The final DesMoines Register poll had Trump only up by five points over Cruz, 28 to 23 percent. But that’s the key…

Looks like DeSantis is just throwing money down the rathole there.

Unfortunately, with Kemp, they are starting to form a DTS governor’s group.

They aren't very good at statistics. Or much of anything, really. As more candidates drop out, some of their supporters will split among the remaining, with Trump gaining some of them. And not all of the candidates are anti-Trumpers. If Vivek or DeSantis drops out, Trump will gain the bulk of their supporters, too.

One would have to be a real moron to believe that any Republican is safe from persecution if they manage to jail Trump. One would have to be especially stupid to celebrate that persecution.

Not if they support the UniParty.

Bush and Cheney are their buddies, now.

Without buying into the Liberal voter fraud system and shaking hands with the devil herself, she can't defeat Trump

The country has been pushed to the wall and like him or not, Trump is THE answer.

Their witchunt has backfired on Liberals and on all the lukewarm ‘Republicans’. A glaring light has been shone on all of them and their monkeyshines
