Never Before Has There Been Such Dominance

Donald Trump is preparing for a runaway victory in the Republican primaries. This dramatically changes the dynamics this election year.

Donald Trump’s clear victory in the first Republican caucuses in the small state of Iowa signals that there are no surprises. However, it would have taken a surprise to jeopardize his candidacy. The result of the Iowa caucuses confirms what the polls show, results that look the same in all the upcoming primary states. Without some unexpected event, Trump will likely achieve a runaway victory.

Even if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were to drop out of the race with a poor performance in the next primary in New Hampshire*, it doesn’t in any way mean that his supporters would then vote for Nikki Haley, which would make her a serious competitor for Trump. There has never been such an early dominance of a candidate in primaries for the challenger’s seat in the U.S.

In terms of election year dynamics, the campaign will soon move from the primary states toward the states to the battleground states that will be decisive for victory come Nov. 5; including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina, among others; the usual suspects that have tipped the scales in recent years.

It is more than unclear as to how things will turn out. As it is far too early to tell — in polls, Trump is tied with or a little ahead of President Joe Biden in many of these battleground states. Despite reasonably good economic reports, Biden’s problem is that his popularity ratings hover at less than 40%. For most Democratic supporters, he is much too old at 81. Biden is light years away from the enthusiasm Trump is generating among his fan base of Republican supporters.

Trump Is the Strongest Argument for Biden

And so, both Biden and the liberal media have switched to extensive coverage of Trump’s insanity, racism, incoherence, lies and manipulations. Trump is the strongest argument for Biden.

Biden received more votes nationally in 2020 than any previous president. But the same can be said for Trump, who was defeated in the 2020 election. Whoever can come close to the mobilization of 2020 will win the election, and while Trump will emerge from the primaries with solid momentum for victory, the Democrats still have a long way to go.
