    18% of likely caucusgoers

    Let’s not forget that it’s cold as fuck in Iowa right now. The only people going to the caucuses are insane. Of course they support Trump even if he’s convicted.

      Let’s not forget this jackass won the 2016 election. Be careful about minimizing his base. They are insane but a lot of quiet, normal seeming people are also insane. Turn out for his rallies has always been pathetic and relegated to a pathetic brain damaged minority, but for each one of those idiots there’s 50 hateful spiteful dumb bastards that feel this way too but are not extremist enough to show up.

      Edit: shit. 2016, not 2020! Ouch that was dumb. Maybe these idiots are saying it enough to rub off.

      Eh, yeah, it’s really cold. Life hasn’t stopped, though. People still go to school and work. The caucus isn’t that much more when you already have to go outside for other stuff.

        It absolutely is much more. When it’s this cold, I only go outside at all if I absolutely have to. The prospect of walking through a parking lot full of cars to tell people they want to vote for Ron DeSantis doesn’t seem very likely.
