Really? She is typically outspoken against him these days.Alyssa Farah on CNN sounds like she is happy for Trump. I can’t listen to her or to CNN anymore.

I know.Really? She is typically outspoken against him these days.
Half the voters today didn’t want him.An unusually modest speech by Trump standards.
Oh Vivek, we hardly knew ye.
It’s depressing as feck.You love to see it
i think the answer is very comfortably, having swindled, sorry, earned himself multiple tens of millions of dollars. He'll be involved in a Trump presidency in some way, or he'll end up on Fox news. I like to think he's just a sociopath who actually cares about nothing but himself, and identified this path as ripe for exploitation.It's depressing for people like Vivek that these are the sorts of people they are whoring themselves out to. Sure, they all like being able to say that they agree with the brown guy who shares their opinions, because then they can pat themselves on the back and say they're not racist because the brown guy agrees with them, but when it comes right down to it, this is how these people actually feel. How do people like Vivek live with themselves?

I guess for some people, money and power is what fills them - whatever it takes. And so their perception is not the same I.e they don’t see it as being a mascot for those who hate them in the first place, so that feeling of emptiness never arises. I fully agree with you though, it’s shocking and pathetic.I know that the answer is money, that part of the question was rhetorical really. It's more just...does the money really make it worth it? For the life of me I can't imagine spending my days being a mascot for people that hate me, no matter how well it pays. I would feel so empty inside.
A virtually unassailable Iowa pollster had Haley & DeSantis flipped, but the percentages were quite close...Are the Iowa results similar to what polling suggested?
Sure the theme is. But couldn't be happening to a nicer guy is my point.It’s depressing as feck.

Could very well be the case.I read a comment somewhere (might actually have been this pollster), that the people saying they were going to vote for Haley in Iowa were the least enthusiastic about it, so the bad weather affected her relatively more than other candidates.
The GOP is what happens when a political party consistently capitulates to its extreme base. Tories are not far behind.

I feel like 20% for the other 2 is better than I thought it would be. Thought DeSantis was going to bomb
I guess that's a way to explain it.
The Iowa Caucus should come to an end as an important factor in American politics. It's ridiculous on so many ways.I always forgot how few people actually vote in these things. State of 3.2 million people - roughly 100k votes.
That’s crazy given what impact it has.

As I said last night, despite the clear win of Trump, I am not impressed. Half of those GOP voters chose not to vote for him as their nominee. Imagine half of Iowa/SC/Nevada/NH deciding not vote for Biden as their nominee? How would the reactions be? I understand that Biden is the incumbent president, but Trump is for all practical purposes like the incumbent for Republicans. I see weakness there.
