Remember to actively stand against the narrative in your own networks about Iowa/New Hampshire mattering at all from a prognostication perspective.

Used to hold some weight when population was different makeup and information was decimated differently, doesn't mean shit in the modern world

I'm starting to think that the old saw about who falls in love versus who falls in line might not be entirely accurate.

Republicans have a tyrant oaf that they clearly love.

Democrats keep ordering their voters to fall in line.

If he told them to such cock and slit wrist, then shit on the bible it wouldn't change their minds.

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.

Fair enough. I'll delete my previous comment.

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.

Because stupid doesn't care that it remains stupid. It actually prefers it - ignorance is bliss, after all.
