MAGA clones fall away. Why would GOP voters choose a weaker version of the original?

Donald Trump blew out his opposition in the Iowa caucus the other night.

Trump won more than 56,000 votes in Iowa on Monday.

56 thousand votes?

That would win you five Chicago wards.

But with 56,000 votes he walked away with more than 50% of all ballots cast.

Even though his vote total was tiny and only accounted for about 20% of all Iowa Republicans, it put him in the driver’s seat for the rest of the GOP primaries.

Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis barely received a combined total of 40% of those voting, which as I say is barely a handful of Iowa Republican voters.

Trump will be the Republican nominee.

After all, why would MAGA voters go for Haley and DeSantis as Trump light when they can choose the real thing?

The good news is we don’t have to listen to Vivik Ramaswamy anymore.

The problem for the Republican MAGAs is that their party has a shrinking base. The only thing keeping them electorally competitive are the Democrats.

Relatively few Americans are excited about a potential rematch of the 2020 election between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, although more Republicans would be satisfied to have Trump as their nominee than Democrats would be with Biden as their standard-bearer, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Biden’s people actually believe that they can beat Trump, all evidence to the contrary.

But even by traditional measures they are running a weak operation.

His support for Israeli genocide hasn’t helped him much.

And a large section of working class Democratic voters aren’t buying Bidenomics.

We’re aren’t stupid. No matter how many times they tell us we are better off with the Biden economy, our experience tells us differently.
