US voters react to Trump's commanding win in Iowa
BBC ^ | Jan 17 | BBC

Posted on 01/16/2024 11:31:56 PM PST by RandFan

As expected, former President Donald Trump was the clear winner of the Iowa Caucuses with a landslide victory on Monday night. The result is the first step towards setting up a rematch with President Joe Biden in November.

The former president dominated in the state where the Republican electorate is deeply conservative, taking over 50% of the vote and tightening his hold over a party increasingly in thrall to him. In the hours after his overwhelming victory, the BBC spoke to voters across the political spectrum and asked them what they made of Mr Trump's electoral return.

While some Republicans - seemingly the majority of the party based off the Iowa results - think Mr Trump is the only one who can "save this nation", others fear the divisive billionaire will lose once again to President Biden in the presidential election.

As for Democrats, some find it hard to imagine the majority of Americans would choose "to go back to chaos" and elect Mr Trump ....

After the Biden fiasco, it’s a tough cell talking about Trump chaos.

Ha! The choice of ‘going back to chaos’ would not be in electing Trump for a second belated term. It would be putting that damned jackass Biden back in office to continue destroying this country. Biden has utterly failed across the board in running this country except one. New Voter enlistment, otherwise called ‘migration’ but really nothing but pure invasion.

“others fear the divisive billionaire will lose once again to President Biden in the presidential election.”

He most certainly will if nothing is done about election integrity, and so far I seen nothing. Does anyone in their right mind believe this criminal regime is going to sit back and allow Trump to win in a legit election especially after they so easily got away with 2020? Yeah, OK.

It’s been three years of unelected control being used against citizens. Dark times. Trump in a landslide is the reaction of frustrated voters choosing sanity.. Back to a comfort level with hope for this United States of America.

“a party increasingly in THRALL to him”

Isn’t a political party supposed to represent its voters? We were MAGA before Trump. Trump represents us. Trump would be nothing without his supporters.

The question is will tractor trailer loads of Biden ballots mysteriously show up in the middle of the night at polling places across the nation. Again.

Will poll watchers be allowed to watch this time?

Will voting machines switch Trump votes to Biden votes again?

FTA: ....others fear the divisive billionaire will lose once again to President Biden in the presidential election.

.....

Hey, idiot, he didn’t lose the first time; the election was stolen from him. And the only division Trump is causing is between patriots and non-patriots.

Typical Beeb with a very unrepresentative sample of voters. Not one but TWO Black women among a survey of just 4 or 5 people? LOL!

Also, most voters - and especially most voters on the Right - don’t have any doubt Trump can beat Biden. He already did once and resident Biden has been an utter disaster once installed in office after the stolen election.

Nothing has been fixed.. And a republican party that has no fight. They sat and let the dems install a weakened, corrupted, senile into the oval office, with Obama getting a third term.
There is no way the dems would let the republicans do that plan. It was an unbelievable stunt.. And we have been a lawless nation ever since.

It’s possible Trump win in a landslide, but we don’t know what the actual count was in the last election.. And they got what they wanted. There was so much denial in the media.. People believed it. Maybe not this time.

The fact according to Democrats, that Wanting to Make America Great again is divisive should tell all Americans the Democrat party should be dissolved .
Wanting a border that is enforced is controversial?
Using our own natural resources for our countries benefit is controversial?
Not wanting to spend billions on a foreign war in Ukraine to cover for a sitting Presidents corruption there is controversial?
Wanting to buy a gas stove,have a washing machine that actually cleans clothes,buy a beef hamburger,are controversial because they are going to cause the planet to disappear?
American people please wake up,take a breath or our Country will not disappear but you will have no other place to go to live as you have been able to for hundreds of years

As for Democrats, some find it hard to imagine the majority of Americans would choose "to go back to chaos" and elect Mr Trump ....

Considering that the dems and GOPe are the ones that created the chaos, aren't they simply saying that they want to control the republicans by any means necessary?

This tells me that I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THE BBC IS SAYING.

Hey, BBC, try...at least TRY to repair your own country before you interfere with OURS.

Tell us how you are so superior to our system.

Not for the UK’s Deep State.

Who do you think helped ours install the POTATUS...?

We’re paying for electing Trump.

The UK’s voters are paying for attempting to Brexit.
