The 2024 Republican Iowa Caucus is now history. Donald Trump scored a decisive victory, capturing 98 of 99 counties and winning 51 percent of the vote. Trump’s opponents — Nikki Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) — find themselves struggling to continue.
Haley jetted off to New Hampshire where she hopes to get enough support from independents to either win or finish a close second. DeSantis decamped to Haley’s home state of South Carolina hoping to appeal to that state’s evangelicals.
But the reality is that Donald Trump has an unshakeable base of support and is all but certain to be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee. As Donald Trump, Jr. bragged on Jan. 6, 2021, “This is Donald Trump’s Republican Party!”

Donald Trump IS the Eisenhower and also the Reagan of a new era.
No. No, it doesn’t.
That statement is so wrong its actually laughable.
Oh my, the leftist writers are scared.
Eisenhower didn’t sit out WWII because of “bone spurs.”
AH, the Hill....
If you ever want to know what the
Uniparty/Globalist/Establishment preferred messaging is, they will tell you.
Eisenhower was too nice.
I read “The Age of Eisenhower” by William Hitchcock awhile ago. I’m probably in the minority, but I was not impressed with his actions as president. WWII? Sure, I’ll give the man full credit. But as president, he (in my opinion) intervened around the globe where he should not have, and he failed to intervene in places where perhaps should have. I think he mismanaged the Cold War, and Civil Rights. I think he let the CIA get out of control and I think the Deep State was largely born while Eisenhower was president. Did he know? I’m not sure. But I got the impression that if he did know, he would have approved of it. I came away not liking Eisenhower all that much.
>>Today’s Republican Party desperately needs an Eisenhower.
Today’s Republican Party desperately needs a Patton.
What the Republican Party does not need is a John Kenneth White.
Let’s make a deal: We all agree to the social conventions, popular culture, immigration policies, and treatment of Red China of the Eisenhower Era (minus Jim Crow), and then we can have our Eisenhower.
Presidents McCain, Romney and Dole agree
But none of us do
We do not need an Eisenhower. If one has to use WWII analogies, we need a Patton, and we have one in Trump.
Better analogies: we need a Jehu, a Kamehameha, an Orban, or a Milei. Trump can be any or all of the above.
Eisenhower didn’t have derpstate guttersnipes trying to ruin him and all those around him for the crime of being for America First.
Think what the USA had to do to get an Eisenhower!
What today's Republican party needs is a Lincoln willing to throw Democrats in prison where they belong.
The way Lincoln used to do it.
“Did he know?”
About the military-industrial complex? I believe he did...
