In case anyone is bothering to watch, Trump just swept the Iowa GOP Caucus tonight. Not a surprise at all. Desantis barely edged out Haley by about 2 points. Certainly not a good sign but certainly not a bellwether. I mean, Pete BUTTigieg beat out Bernie, Liz Warren and Biden came in 4th back in 2020. Ted Cruz beat Trump by around four points in 2016. Mike Huckabee (who I actually like) beat out McCain back in 2008, and crazy Rick SaNATORIUM won Iowa in 2012. The only candidates in recent history that won Iowa and actually became the party nominee were GWB, Obama and, unfortunately, Trump.
The interesting races will be the New Hampshire election next week, and then the South Carolina caucus right after that. If Nikki Haley can sweep both of those, which she actually has a chance of doing, the entire dynamic of the presidential race may drastically shift; and if she loses a state where she's endorsed by the popular governor and then her own fucking state, she's probably done.
I actually forced myself to watch Trump's "victory" speech tonight. This asshole really has become fully detached from reality. On a brighter note, I think I'm going to buy myself an e-bike or e-scooter from Costco this week, attach a basket for my lunch cooler full of alcoholic beverages and start riding around town getting shitfaced in the afternoons.
