The beginning of the end?

 


Results from the GOP Iowa caucuses are in. With 95% of the votes counted, a certain Donald J Trump has finally left his Elba exile with 51% of the votes. DeSantis is second, Haley a close third behind DeSantis. Trump won in all counties except one, where Haley (barely) carried the day. I´m frankly surprised that The Don didn´t get even more votes! In a sense he did, since the 8% who voted for Vivek Ramaswamy are presumably also Trump supporters. 

Wat means? In and of itself, nothing at all. However, I think it´s obvious how this is going to end. Trump will win the GOP primaries overall. If he will also be nominated or elected POTUS, remains to be seen.

It´s not impossible, obviously. But neither is a constitutional crisis. Or assassination...

  1. Your graphics are phenomenal! I'll have to check out Bing AI.
    Meanwhile, yes, just had three days of sub-zero temperature.
    Chicago's High today of 18 F which feels like a day at the beach!

    Oh yeah, so 49% didn't vote for the Donald. Something's got to give.
    I dare anyone to ask him to recite the Lord's Prayer from memory!

  2. Yes, in Iowa with all the evangelicals...

    Bing AI is extremely funny, I´m almost childishly fascinated and obsessed with it, ha ha.

    Extremely cold here in Sweden to. Can´t take my daily long walks, so I guess I´m stuck for now with my Bing AI.
