ABC News Has Cancelled the GOP Debate in New Hampshire.
And why it indicates the race is pretty much over.
Well, Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus.
Not only did he win, but he won in a historic fashion.
Stephen Collinson with CNN writes:
“Former President Donald Trump’s huge win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday enshrines one of the most astonishing comebacks in American political history.
Losing one-term presidents almost never mount subsequent successful primary campaigns, much less pull off landslides that demonstrate utter dominance of their party. Trump transformed the GOP in his populist, nationalist, nihilistic image in 2016. By claiming 50% of the vote in the biggest win in caucus history, putting him on course to his third consecutive nomination, he showed that eight years after his outsider presidential victory, the current GOP is entirely his party…”
Yeah, the GOP is his.
It’s reached the point where I’m not even sure he wouldn’t get elected if he was getting sent to prison. The base would probably still support him and in fact, it might even work to his advantage within the right wing. It’s been one caucus, and we’re already seeing indications that it’s over.
