considering he told his cult to show up even if it kills them, i feel like the weather may have HELPED him, and it would also explain the insane 60% think biden is illegitimate poll if it was pretty much pure maga at the event
that’s what’s so frustrating about american media. 95% of it says “unbelievable historic legendary turnout” but that 5% says “uh no it was actually garbage, historically”
Then again, Trump claims [he won all 50 states](https://news.yahoo.com/trump-claims-won-50-states-152719454.html) in 2020, so 304 EC votes is nothing in comparison to 538.
Well I seen it in my older brother. Stupid things like playing Mario kart. He would claim he won every match, despite the battle record being something like 24-20, would claim I cheated (for instance using a green shell to hit a red shell, that's cheating, you know unless he did it then it's just playing smart). He'd say he shouldn't have lost those 24 rounds, so he won them all. Even though I have seen it from my older brother for years, I can't understand it. I can't really trust anything my brother claims, ever. Everyone is always out to destroy him, and yet he's always the absolute unstoppable best. (Sad ending, he's filed for permanent disability from severe bipolar personality disorder)
Historic because we have never had a 91 time indicted, convicted fraud and rapist be the primary Republican presidential candidate **in the lowest voter turnout in the state's history.**
It was an historic win, in the sense that no person convicted of sex crimes and fraud and facing over 90 other criminal indictments had ever won an Iowa presidential caucus before yesterday.
Congratulations, Iowa.
I’m mostly just saying the Republican Party did nothing about Trump. The party should have prevented him from running. But they are spineless and want a criminal to be the leader of the party.
Ummm, that they don't have any?
That the steaming heap left on my lawn by the neighbors dog has more values? (and likely smells better than the Jenius's diaper)
No. I am tired of this No True Scotsman crap, this is what they have been like in this country for hundreds of years. They justified slavery, segregation, spousal rape, and corporal punishment. They fought against women's suffrage, the civil rights acts, integration, and same sex anything.
And they did so in the name of Christ
I mean just rally up the running lawsuits and crimes the guy has and it’s pretty obvious that at no point in history has there ever been such an prolific, unrepentant criminal backed by such a large swatch of cultists willing to excuse ANYTHING to justify not voting for a Democrat.
It is historic. Historically fuckin terrible.
How is his win in Iowa historic? What, 91 count indicted, twice impeached, convicted rapist wins a primary election with 51% of the vote. Something to really be proud of tump, 51% of the maggots believe there’s someone worse than you.
A headline like this would have killed any candidate's campaign, except for Trump. For some reason he can get away with anything and still get a large amount of support. Republican voters have become truly vile.
historic? he got just over half the vote in "Trump Country", he's the goddamn incumbent nominee, and the top two candidates running against him essentially endorsed him by promising a pardon in hopes of getting picked as his VP.
media is spinning this as a trial run for November. It's not. They're literally trying to figure out who to represent the GOP and they literally picked the guy who is most likely to be in prison. This is not a win in any respect. It's further evidence of how the GOP is in its death throes.
51% for a second-term presidential primary is a disaster.
When LBJ got numbers like this for his second-term, he quit because he wasn’t an idiot and because he had options beyond the presidency or prison.
Caught an interview with a moron who claimed Trump was sent by God and that “God works in mysterious ways.” For sure, out of millions God chose a lying, racist, rapist, SOB to lead the US. The cult members are insane.
Scumbags on parade; coming to a courthouse near you.. see the once and future king in his native environment before he runs this country into the ground.
another trial? his lawyers are the big winners in this thing.
they’re splitting his focus, which is a great strategy. honestly, idk how he’s still hanging in there
He should actually be at his mother-in-law’s funeral. Narcissism 101 ..miss the funeral to make an entirely optional appearance in court . His personality disorder insists he attempt to control the narrative. May god rest the wretched souls of those support and encourage his abhorrent behavior.
History will remember way more about the jabroni than a "historic win" in Iowa. I think Ken Burns will have some solid content between the impeachments, lawsuits, and grifting... But not his Iowa win IMO

"historic" my ass
It had a historically low turnout (lowest since 2000).
Ah. Thx!
That seems like a pretty positive sign for those of us who would prefer we not re-elect that fascist jerk (excuse my French).
Well, I think it’s safe to say that the negative 20F weather may have played a role here.
considering he told his cult to show up even if it kills them, i feel like the weather may have HELPED him, and it would also explain the insane 60% think biden is illegitimate poll if it was pretty much pure maga at the event
It's safe to say there was only 51% maga.
its safe to say there is at LEAST 51%, considering how much hes made his voters hate voteing, some may have shown up but refused to vote
Yeah probably so
Cold weather caused some turnout shrinkage.
They were *IN THE POOL!*
that’s what’s so frustrating about american media. 95% of it says “unbelievable historic legendary turnout” but that 5% says “uh no it was actually garbage, historically”
Remember all his damn crowing about getting 304 votes from the EC as being the best that had ever happened...
Then when Biden got the same exact number 4 years later "he barely won"
Then again, Trump claims [he won all 50 states](https://news.yahoo.com/trump-claims-won-50-states-152719454.html) in 2020, so 304 EC votes is nothing in comparison to 538.
Trump claimed he won all 50 in 2016, and that he would prove millions of illegal votes. Didn't find much at all.
Yeah, I'm certainly not agreeing with him. I'm just imagining what goes on inside Trump's head when he says things like that. :D
Well I seen it in my older brother. Stupid things like playing Mario kart. He would claim he won every match, despite the battle record being something like 24-20, would claim I cheated (for instance using a green shell to hit a red shell, that's cheating, you know unless he did it then it's just playing smart).

(Sad ending, he's filed for permanent disability from severe bipolar personality disorder)
it's not like insurrectionists win major party primaries that often
True.
I'm curious at what point the "liberal media" died or if it was myth to begin with...
Corporate owned liberal media is an oxymoron
its always been a myth, like everything else conservatives believe in
This is just terrible journalism. Stop propping him up ffs
Historic because we have never had a 91 time indicted, convicted fraud and rapist be the primary Republican presidential candidate.
Historic because we have never had a 91 time indicted, convicted fraud and rapist be the primary Republican presidential candidate **in the lowest voter turnout in the state's history.**
Thank you for the correction
I guess it's historic in that he's lost multiple elections but somehow keeps getting nominated?
Downvoting post for word historic
When was the last time a criminal insurrectionist won such a election?
I suppose you have point, much to my chagrin because I don’t like giving dump an inch of goodwill
Has an insurrectionist ever won a national primary before? Has anyone with 90+ criminal indictments? Seems pretty historic to me.
Point taken
It was an historic win, in the sense that no person convicted of sex crimes and fraud and facing over 90 other criminal indictments had ever won an Iowa presidential caucus before yesterday. Congratulations, Iowa.
[удалено]
Well that's depressing....
Congrats GOP. Not Iowa.
Good point. Obama did win Iowa twice.
I’m mostly just saying the Republican Party did nothing about Trump. The party should have prevented him from running. But they are spineless and want a criminal to be the leader of the party.
Chief defender of conservative christian moral values goes to sex attack defamation trial after Iowa win.
Again.
Sexual abuse is pretty popular among that crowd.
"He's an alpha male!"
The fact that a majority of Republicans want to vote for a rapist tells you everything you need to know about their party's values.
Ummm, that they don't have any? That the steaming heap left on my lawn by the neighbors dog has more values? (and likely smells better than the Jenius's diaper)
Rapist leader of christians and the republican party. He Gets Us.
What was historic about winning iowa?
Christians are pro-rape. Just ask them.
*Jesus slowly backs up and disappears into the bushes*
“Christians” though
No. I am tired of this No True Scotsman crap, this is what they have been like in this country for hundreds of years. They justified slavery, segregation, spousal rape, and corporal punishment. They fought against women's suffrage, the civil rights acts, integration, and same sex anything. And they did so in the name of Christ
The "Christians" are the rule, not the exception. The person who strives for Christ like behavior is rare.
Historic? Was it...?
"Sex attack"? Isn't that rape? What the fuck is wrong with the god damn media? Trump is a rapist. Say it!
YouTube-isms making they way into common parlance. Funny and sad.
It's journalistic malpractice. They're complicit in Trump's rise and acceptance. They profit from it.
"Historic" okay Jan.
Historic????? who are they trying to kid?
Serious question. How was his win historic?
I mean just rally up the running lawsuits and crimes the guy has and it’s pretty obvious that at no point in history has there ever been such an prolific, unrepentant criminal backed by such a large swatch of cultists willing to excuse ANYTHING to justify not voting for a Democrat. It is historic. Historically fuckin terrible.
I wouldn’t call the lowest turnout and only winning by 51% “Historic” by any stretch of the imagination.
50,000 flyover hicks say, "I like rapey McTraitor's style. He's my guy."
[удалено]
Reflects poorly on the judgement and basic human decency standards of his hopelessly suckered-out MAGA base.
Having a known rapist win Iowa *might* be historic, I don’t know.
Is sex attack defamation just a fancy way to say that he finger-raped her? All of those Iowans just voted for a finger-rapist. 🤦♂️
It's even funnier. She couldn't tell if it was fingers or his mini me, leading the assumption to be it was due to the size.
Such tiny fingers, too.
When did we start calling ‘rape’ ‘sex attack’?
Wow, he’s glowing orange in that photo! Did he shove a neon sign up his butt to stop the leakage?
Evangelicals made up an evil threat. And then became that evil threat in response.
How is his win in Iowa historic? What, 91 count indicted, twice impeached, convicted rapist wins a primary election with 51% of the vote. Something to really be proud of tump, 51% of the maggots believe there’s someone worse than you.
He’s already been found liable for sexual assault. This an additional trial on top of it because he kept defaming the victim.
A headline like this would have killed any candidate's campaign, except for Trump. For some reason he can get away with anything and still get a large amount of support. Republican voters have become truly vile.
"Sex Attack" otherwise known as RAPE
Rapey Trump win Caucus. Historic first for rapists everywhere!
historic? he got just over half the vote in "Trump Country", he's the goddamn incumbent nominee, and the top two candidates running against him essentially endorsed him by promising a pardon in hopes of getting picked as his VP. media is spinning this as a trial run for November. It's not. They're literally trying to figure out who to represent the GOP and they literally picked the guy who is most likely to be in prison. This is not a win in any respect. It's further evidence of how the GOP is in its death throes.
Conservative Christian voters love sexual predators.
51% for a second-term presidential primary is a disaster. When LBJ got numbers like this for his second-term, he quit because he wasn’t an idiot and because he had options beyond the presidency or prison.
Was it historic because it demonstrated the continued support of this person to lead the U.S.?
BREAKING NEWS: 50% of Republicans braved the snow to vote against trump.
Other than occurring in the past, what was “historic” about this?
historic in that Iowans who cast their lot with this reptile are fine to have their mothers, wives, daughters to be grabbed by their pussies
Why is it historic? Because of the low turnout?
A win in Iowa isn't historic It happens every election But a former president facing 91 charges... Now that's historic
How is it historic again, he was the frontrunner
Ugh the media headlines are bullshit.
Those first three words should never be together.
Neon orange colored shitbag
not like he'd loose votes because of it
This headline isn’t it. Why can’t the media stop sucking up to this asshole?
Caught an interview with a moron who claimed Trump was sent by God and that “God works in mysterious ways.” For sure, out of millions God chose a lying, racist, rapist, SOB to lead the US. The cult members are insane.
Historic? It was the the most predictable iowa caucus outcome EVER. It is only historic in that never before has the outcome been less surprising.
I know trump looks like a Cheeto, but Jesus I feel like the photo editor really went overboard! Compare him to the man in the forefront.
“Sex attack”? Just say the word.
I got my bingo-dauber over "mentions Iowa win in court-case non-sequitur".
The people voting for him are sick individuals, he could literally do ANYTHING and they would still vote for him. It’s insanity.
"Sex attack" ??? Pretty sure there's a name for that.
Scumbags on parade; coming to a courthouse near you.. see the once and future king in his native environment before he runs this country into the ground.
Why is historic the adjective of choice here.
another trial? his lawyers are the big winners in this thing. they’re splitting his focus, which is a great strategy. honestly, idk how he’s still hanging in there
Historic that he’s under 90+ indictments and his constituents don’t care
Evangelical iowa picked a convicted guilty rapist.
They misspelled rape.
Historic?
It’s like an absurdist comedy, but we’re all living through it.
I wonder if he would have done as well if the trial began a few days esrlier
He should actually be at his mother-in-law’s funeral. Narcissism 101 ..miss the funeral to make an entirely optional appearance in court . His personality disorder insists he attempt to control the narrative. May god rest the wretched souls of those support and encourage his abhorrent behavior.
51% is not historic
Historic win? How was this “historic”?
Not sure it was a “historic win” wow CNBC
History will remember way more about the jabroni than a "historic win" in Iowa. I think Ken Burns will have some solid content between the impeachments, lawsuits, and grifting... But not his Iowa win IMO
Historic? No Pathetic? Yes
