Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson ends his 2024 Republican presidential bid after getting 0.2 % in Iowa.
I thought all the really horrible and stupid states were in the south...but Iowa may take the cake with this:
Nearly two-thirds (63%) of respondents to the National Election Pool entrance poll said that Trump would still be fit to serve as president if convicted of a crime

The biggest problem Trump has, is that he ONLY got 51% of the vote. There is no guarantee that the other 49% would vote for him if Trump was running against President Biden.

There used to be that old trope that Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. But Trump kind of broke that, I think. We saw in 2022 that MAGA candidates will win often primaries, but not general elections. And when the non-MAGA candidate wins, MAGA voters may stay home.
Trump’s joke about gunning down people in Times Square and not lose any votes is so far proving to be prophetic.
I didn’t know that. Interesting. Did the bad weather keep that 49 percent home, or did they have no interest in Trump? I think New Hampshire is next up. Let’s see what happens there.

Politics aside, the non-stop media coverage of Trump is really exhausting.
Even after he was voted out, almost everything he does is covered extensively by the media.
I know he has several court cases but I'm personally tired of seeing his orange face on tv.
Seriously, apart from on the mainstream media, I don't see anything from "Truth Social" or whatever it's called. The media has done an excellent job of amplifying Trump's nonsensical messaging.

The 49 percent was the combined total for all the other Republican candidates.
Sure, it’s true that some of that 49 percent won’t vote for Trump.
But then I might well be wrong, I can’t understand why any sane person would vote for him, so must be missing some obvious point.
I’ve said this before here and stand by this opinion: the media wants Trump back in the Oval Office because he was not just good, but DAMN good for business while he was president. One time CBS head Leslie Moonves came right out and said as much in an interview several years ago. The near daily chaos and craziness Trump churned sold papers, boosted TV ratings and bumped up internet page clicks, putting loads of money in the media’s coffers. They want that cash cow back to work, democracy be damned, that’s why they’re covering him as much as they are.
