The only time someone got more than 51% was in 2020 when Trump got 97%, which was basically unopposed

This is msm manipulating data, nothing more

And they still couldn’t bring him below 50% despite all the party flipping.


Those exit polls showing that only 20% of Haley voters thought the 2020 election was fricky, as opposed to about 50-50 for Ron’s voters, demonstrates who those “crossover” votes were going for.

If 49% of voters would actually all vote for Desantis or Haley against Trump then one of them would drop out . If he actually had a close opponent then he would have to debate them . The elites have known that trump will win easy that’s why they are dragging him into court.

Is that a narrative? I mean, other than message boards.

Iowa was rigged.


Kind of.

Lots of Dems voted for your girl HRC light.

Otherwise, Trump wins with an even higher percentage.

Please educate me here. What am I missing?


He is essentially the incumbent. He should have won 80% of the republican vote.

The narrative is that he is considered an incumbent by many and only got 51% in a conservative, white state.

It isn't hard to follow.

The Dem argument was that Trump's victory was not significant because the low turnout signified a lack of support or enthusiasm among voters for Trump It's BS. If that were the case, then you would have had a higher turn out for the other Rep candidates. They think people don't realize there was a major winter weather event.

Better Together Baton Rouge did the same thing for St. George, even when there was a record turnout for an election. Amazing how when they lose, Dem's all of a sudden don't understand how democracy works

I think the bigger message is what is happening with the Iowa Democratic Caucus:

1. Iowa is no longer the first primary for Democrats because of "diversity"

President Joe Biden sent a letter on December 1, 2022, to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), requesting that "diversity" should be emphasized in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries, shifting Iowa's traditional status of the first state to hold a caucus....
On February 4, 2023, the DNC approved a new 2024 primary calendar, moving South Carolina to hold its race first on February 3.

2. Voting will be done over time and by mail-in ballots, so the results can fit whatever narrative the powers that be want

voting on candidates is being done exclusively via mail-in ballots from January 12 until Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

What’s with this narrative? I get turnout was low, but Trump also broke a record for the most votes in the Iowa Caucus by a Republican as well as the largest margin of victory.


He also got a majority of those votes all by himself. The 49% was all other candidates combined.
