It was ]Trump in a landslide last night up in Iowa.

Bear in mind Iowa is a caucus and that means it was only the party insiders voting. Oh, and it was bitterly cold last night, keeping the fair-weather types - the ones supporting Nikki Haley - in.

As for Haley, clearly her support base is as I have theorized; among the Establishment and with Democrats. It's why she couldn't come right out and say men cannot become women when asked (something that hurt her in the caucus). She knew her sponsors would be angry if she admitted that dirty little secret.

If Haley was too weak to admit so obvious a truth she was too weak to be President and stand up to people like Putin or Xi.

So she finished third behind Ron DeSantis.

Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his campaign after coming in last.

But Trump crushed even DeSantis in the caucus. This race is Trump's to lose.

Ten years ago if someone would have told me the GOP was going to be poised to nominate a candidate facing 900 years in prison, a former reality t.v. host, and that I would enthusiastically support him because his opponent was a decripid old geezer who was wrecking the country and facing legal challenges of his own I would have to manually shut my own mouth. But times have changed.

Here are the totals:

Donald J. Trump

56,260 votes
51.0%

Ron DeSantis

23,420
21.2%

Nikki Haley

21,085
19.1%

Ramaswamy got around nine percent of the vote. He quit the race and endorsed Donald Trump.
