Former President Donald Trump cruised to victory in the Iowa caucuses Monday, serving as a likely harbinger of what is to come in subsequent nominating contests.
CNN and the Associated Press called the caucuses for Trump just 30 minutes into the nominating process, with less than one percent of the vote reporting. The 45th president had garnered 64.5 percent of the vote, with one percent reporting as of 8:42 p.m., according to the New York Times’ election results. He was beating his nearest opponent, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), by roughly 40 percentage points.
With the contest being called so early, the question remains just how big of a victory Trump will pull off, and if polling trends and the current results are indicative of anything, he is headed for historic territory.
If he eclipses a 12.8 percent margin of victory, he will reportedly have the largest margin of victory ever in a contested Republican Iowa primary, Reuters noted, citing the Trump campaign. Late Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS) enjoyed the record 12.8 percent margin of victory in 1988 over televangelist Pat Robertson.
The results, as they currently stand, show Trump overperforming the latest polling trends, including in the RealClearPolling average, where Trump landed at 52.5 percent as of Monday, 33.7 percentage points ahead of former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) at 18.8 percent. It also showed DeSantis at 15.7 and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy at 6.8 percent.
The trend spells trouble for Haley and DeSantis and, for the moment, corroborates months of polls showing them well behind the 45th president.

Trump basically IS the GOP. Once he stops running, they'll be in serious trouble.

If I lose this election, you'll never see me again.
Trump is the biggest piece of shit in the Republican Party.
Too bad he can't run on his greatest accomplishment. Getting Roe v Wade overturned.

They actually hope Trump goes to jail. Or what MAGA fans call RINO's. Not everyone in the party is batshit crazy like Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Boebert, Mike Johnson, Kari Lake, etc. |

Trump has been a piece of shit since the 70's - in addition to being a cheat and a con man. This idea that anyone has of him being this great man or savior of America is only confirming that they are a fucking moron. Trump only cares about Trump. He is entirely liberal in his personal life and said he was liberal many terms during interviews prior to running. He just realized that he would do better running as a Republican than a Democrat, because many conservatives are uneducated goobers or just easy to sucker - he knew that he could take advantage of them. |

The evangelicals who hate porn have literally posed in front of her on porn magazines. |

Not everyone in the party is batshit crazy like Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Boebert, Mike Johnson, Kari Lake, etc. Problem is, Trump is significantly more popular than anyone else in the GOP. DeSantis has done pretty well for himself in Florida, but nationwide, that's a different story. I don't think the rest of them even have a chance in a Presidential race. |

Sure, but Nikki is polling to do well against Biden. She could win. Trump will have millions coming out to vote for Biden to stop him from winning. It is not a lock that he wins. |

Initially maybe, but Hillary conceded to Trump. She wouldn't still be saying years later that she won like Republicans are still doing 4 years later. Hell, even you didn't answer when I asked you if you thought the election was stolen, because you probably do. |

There are many reasons why the right think that the 2020 election was rigged. Keeping Hunter's laptop hidden bu the media is one reason. I dont dwell on past elections. Its over and done with. |
