Iowa caucuses turnout threatened by record cold as arctic blast invades US

Not one mask in sight
Aren't we now at 2 million infections a day ?
A 10,000 deaths per month ?
And 8% Americans have Long COVID symptoms ?

(10,430 posts)(AP) - Garret Miller didn't speak to the law enforcement officers who arrested him on charges he stormed the U.S. Capitol in January, but the T-shirt he was wearing at his Dallas home that day sent a clear and possibly incriminating message...Miller's shirt had a photograph of former President Donald Trump, and it said Take America Back and I Was There, Washington D.C., January 6, 2021"

(62,539 posts)this year. I just found that out last week.
That tells me that they were not really expecting big turnouts to begin with.
Were I to go to one of their caucuses, I would have to drive on snow covered roads in -20 weather at night to hand in a slip of paper, then turn around and come back home on the snow covered roads in blowing snow.
I am thinking this will really affect turnout in eastern Iowa.

(327 posts)Trumps trade wars cost Iowa farmers billions and he ended up sending billions in tax payers dollars to make up the difference...government handouts for the proud Iowa farmers. Under Biden administration the farmers across the USA had one of their most profitable years ever. These people are a con-artists dream audience, they are gullible, racist, resentful and 100% clueless.

(54,157 posts)'White out" is right. And Iowa wonders why the Democrats want a more diverse electorate to be the kickoff for the presidential primaries...not to mention that antiquated, time-consuming and undemocratic caucus system.

(13,757 posts)place where a lot of yokel farmers liked to drink. It was only ever packed with bikers sometimes in the summer when a bunch were on the road for rallies.
This dude that went on first was really raunchy and would have been great onstage at a biker rally, but the crowd there was like what you see in this pic, minus the Trump gear! It may as well have been a Grange Hall! LOL
It was painful watching a comic bomb that bad! He was throwing everything at them and a lady yelled, "clean it up!" Poor bastard! LOL

(1,702 posts) he was recently at a meeting attended by Steve Bannon. And that the Trump people had actually discussed at that meeting the idea of MAGA being MAWA. Make America White Again. He acted all disgusted when telling me.

CousinIT
(9,327 posts)Hes a diapered dotard with a 15-step combover who paints himself orange & wears lifts in his shoes. Hes not smart, hes not funny, hes not kind or clever.
Hes a narcissistic, nepotistic sociopath who never stopped being that spoiled rich boy who threw rocks at babies.
And unless you were rich enough to make bazillions from his tax cut, he didnt do a damn thing for you.
He didnt deliver on ANY of his promises, not his dumb wall, not infrastructure week or healthcare, not opioids or coal. He didnt make America great. He didnt drain the swamp. He mean-tweeted & golfed during the pandemic he bungled, he disparaged our veterans & he turned OUR house into a political prop.
His plan for the future includes his own retribution. It includes deportations. It means targeting Muslims. It includes turning our military into his private police force.
His plan includes him becoming a dictator. Which means the end of our democracy.
And 56,000 Iowans went out in the frigid cold last night to put his name into a popcorn bucket.
To return him to the office he tried to steal.
Not because of any policies they can think of or point to.
Not because of his integrity, honesty, reliability, authenticity, virtue, decency, or honor.
And not because of his legislative record.
Because he hates who they hate.
And thats all they think they need.
