[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, only 100k showed up?  Less than 2/3 of 2016 turnout.  That is embarrassingly low turnout.  Seems like republicans are not enthusiastic about their choices.[/quote]

MAGA is blaming the weather, but that’s Midwest weather. Enthusiasm was mild at best. [/quote]

It was the coldest caucus in history with temps in the negative 30's.  Many parking lots were not cleared and walkways were slippery from the snow a few days ago.  
Most pundits were predicting a low turn out because of the bitter cold.  
Bottom line.... Trump won over 50% of the vote - more than any candidate has ever won. 
And, he got more votes than he received in 2016.  
It was definitely a win for him.  [/quote]

If Biden only got 50% in a primary, I’d be pretty concerned.[/quote]

Iowa doesn't have a primary. It has a caucus, which is what occurred last night. Caucuses are closer to rank ordering than a straight vote.  More to the point, the vote for Trump was the largest percentage in Iowa caucus history. To say it another way, no candidate has ever done better in an Iowa caucus in the history of Iowa caucuses. So the interpretation that this is a lackluster outcome is not contextually logical.  [/quote]
