Top Democrats did not react to Donald Trump’s crushing win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday with the dismay that might have been expected. Instead, the victory of the twice-impeached, 91-times criminally charged former president was heralded as an early beginning to the battle for the White House itself.
Called early, Trump’s victory came by 30 points over the hard-right Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, who edged the former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley for second. Only one of 99 Iowa counties did not go for Trump: Johnson county, which includes the University of Iowa, was won by Haley, the relative moderate left in the race – by a single vote.
Responding to Trump’s win, and using an acronym for Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America great again”, Biden told followers: “Here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me versus extreme Maga Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow.”
Hillary couldn’t win using the “Trump is dangerous” platform, but she’s absolutely been proven right. The question now is, do enough people care about something as existential as the end of democracy, or are they too focused on inflation and gas prices.
Hillary sucked ass and was given that opportunity over folks the public wanted more. Democrats absolutely shouldn’t have “super” delegates.
That being said hopefully most reasonable folks know how dangerous the narcissistic orange fuck wit really is, he won Iowa but only got 51% of votes so I’m hoping he’s a product of gross mass media and loses as badly as his criminal defense is in any case against him.
I’m definitely voting against bootleg Hitler regardless of who’s running against him. Fuck the Orange vengeance thirst turd.
that was 8 years ago, and Bided did win using that strategy once already. and that’s before he went completely off his nut and tried to overthrow the country using a mob of his insane, neo-nazi followers.
Democrats need to explain to people that these are the same thing. All this talk about Democracy just seems like Democrats worship a complex political system that barely helps people anyway. If the alternative is authoritarianism then people need to understand that prices don’t stay low when the system is corrupted and that democracy is a vehicle for change not a static thing Dems want to preserve just because.
They aren’t very focused on inflation and gas prices if that is their excuse. Both are way down over the late 6+ months.
