Trump got 51% of the vote in Iowa. What they don't tell you is.......

Only 14.4% of all registered Republicans voted at the Iowa primary. So trump got 51% of 14.4% of the Republicans in Iowa........or he got 7.2% of Iowa's GOP primary votes. UNDER whelming to say the least.

When you look at the non Trump options within the Republican party no one should be surprised. The whole zoo is a leper colony. (With profound apologies to all the lepers out there)馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Chris Christie was easily the best option. Then when he dropped out, it was Nikki Haley. If she drops out, then yeah, nothing but ghouls.

@BohemianBoo Christies claim to fame was being anti Trump. But start digging into his platform and he might as well have been Trump, except he might have actually done some of the things he promised..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman When it comes to economics, all of the Republicans are the same. However, Chris Christie was one of those rare Republicans who was still attached to reality. Same goes for Romney, McCain, Cheney, Ryan, and so on. All of their economic policies are dogshit, but they aren't anti-reality and anti-democracy, like the rest of the trumpian GOP.

@whowasthatmaskedman @BohemianBoo I don't like Chris Christie. But I feel like he's a person I can actually agree to disagree with. I don't think I'd like the direction his policies would take us. But I don't feel like his policies would be outright destructive to the fabric of our nation. They would be things we could recover from in time with good course correction. A lot of these other candidates are actually dangerous to the national identity and stability as a whole.

@ViciDraco Yeah, we've always recovered from bad economic policy. But losing democracy isn't something we're just going to fix in another four years.
