Despite Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley spending massive amounts of time and resources in Iowa, President Trump is pulling away according to the latest polling.
[SOURCE]
IOWA – Donald Trump’s support now tops 50% in Iowa, where the former president has strengthened his already overwhelming lead over Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis — neither of whom has fully broken away as the clear second choice.
[…] DeSantis, who was tied with Haley at 16% in October, has gained 3 percentage points to pull away from her in second place with 19%.
Haley had seen a burst of momentum in Iowa between August and October, growing her share of support from 6% to 16% following well-received debate performances. In recent weeks, she has snagged a major endorsement from Americans For Prosperity Action, part of the Koch political network, and has amassed support from major donors looking for an alternative to Trump.
But those efforts have not resulted in a bump in the latest Iowa Poll, and she remains flat at 16% — even as other candidates have dropped out. (read more)
For those who follow inside politics closely, you will notice the Rupert Murdoch operation has switched from DeSantis to Haley.
Murdoch outlet The Wall Street Journal is now pushing Nikki Haley as the next best candidate to stop Trump and defeat Biden. This was/is all very predictable.
[…] “While the poll finds Trump with a dominating lead in the Republican primary, with nearly 60% support, it suggests that Nikki Haley would be the stronger general-election candidate. Haley, a former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador, tops Biden in a test match-up by 17 points, 51% to 34%, compared with Trump’s four-point lead.
Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, ties Biden at 45% each. DeSantis had led Biden by 3 points in a Journal survey in April. (more)
It was always going to be Nikki despite the full-throated first wave of support for Ron. Why was this prediction below so transparently obvious? Simply, because DeSantis sucks as a candidate and at a certain point the management cannot overcome the candidate weakness. The principal has to stand alone, and Ron DeSantis is not the guy to be able to handle that responsibility; he’s just too weak and controlled.
So yeah, it was always going to be Nikki as the hopeful GOPe nominee to block Trump. CHECK DATE:

Nikki Haley is Mitt Romney in a skirt.
Nope, Nope, Nope! Jenna Ellis says no. This time in 2004 Hillary was 40 points ahead of Barack so forget it. King Curly Boots is gonna walk away with this one.
KIng Curley boots; LOL . The Des Monies Register polling before the 2016 R primary was pretty close to the final results. Cruz, Rubio & Trump all polled around 23 to 28%, their last poll had Trump up by 3% and the 2016 results were Cruz 27.6&, Trump 24.3% and Rubio 23.1%. SO for Trump being up by 30+ pts at this time pretty much say’s it’s over for Govenor Bobblehead.
“Nikki Haley is Mitt Romney in a skirt. “
You speak truth, Sundance! And you crack me up!
Trump 2024
There is no Plan B.
Perfectly on point. I loathe Nikki “Hubris” Haley more each time I see or hear her – which given the depth of my existing disdain, would not have thought it could possibly go deeper.
I’m lacking context here, but…
Somehow, somewhere, there has to be something like “6 degrees of Mitt Romney”

Mitt Romney says his endorsement in 2024 race would be ‘kiss of death’

I always suspected Mitt Romney was “Mitt Romney in a skirt” whenever the cameras were off.
And Kari Lake is “Trump in a skirt”.
Last month, barely 2 in 3 Iowa R’s said PDJT’s legal problems wouldn’t concern them, now its 3 out of 4 saying they don’t CARE they will vote for PDJT anyway.
Tits Romney is what we call her
Wait, so that endorsement for Top Guv didn’t help?
Chris Krispie better watch out, Not Sure is right on his heels, and he isn’t too quick on his feet.
Can Chris Christie even WALK in heels?
I bet Meatball can…gracefully
I think he can barely walk… more of a weeble wobble
🎶But they’re cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as noon and day.
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.🎶
With apologies to Patty Duke
Wow Sundance. Just Wow.
Pierre Delecto and Petra Deepsheet.
Cleaning my monitor now, thx for that hahahahaha
Welcome. 😜
The spin after the caucus will be something to see. Watch for both 2nd and 3rd place finishers to declare “victory” for exceeding expectations. It worked for Clinton in the 1992 primaries, and these RINOS use the same playbook.
Paul Ryan said…
DeSantis
Nikki Haley
Or
Tim Scott.
One is out, one is out of it… so all they have left is Nikki.
Nikki the Tick hanging on for dear life, someone else’s.
Xavier I’ve never seen you before-doesn’t mean you haven’t been here awhile-but I love it because I hate ticks too!
How the hell does he know unless they are going to cheat and he knows the outcome
I think these “Contenders” have a dream of Trump being imprisoned….What else beyond a chance for a seat at Trumps table, which would be madness on Trumps part and they have to know that he knows that..
He can run and win from prison.
His lead will only strengthen.
The organized crime syndicate is going to lose this battle and the war.
No matter what happens to Trump I’m voting for him, even if I have to write his name in. At this point he’s the only one that matters, the rest can go to hell.
Yes i think he could but are they going to fake the numbers
I would and will vote for Trump if/when he is in prison. Trump is the nominee unless they assassinate him before the convention.
I do not believe all the gold in the world can or will stop us from nominating him.
Pray every day to God to protect him from lead.
It’s like a team long distance running event. Ron! sprints out, hoping to tire Trump. Christie shouts insults the whole way. As Ron! fades, Haley takes over.
There will be no sprinting from Krispy!
Unless they are getting ready to close the donut shop as he is pulling into the parking lot. Then he will run faster than The Flash…
Nikki Delecto.
There seems to be some ‘fuzzy math’ happening with the WSJ poll showing Romney-in-a-skirt topping Biden by 17 points. No surprise though. It’s just out there like other fake news.
Does the WSJ support her because she tops Biden? Or did they print a fake news poll because they support her? Hmmm?
Who owns the WSJ?
Rupert.
What happens when outsiders, gathered & transported by millions of dollars from the RNC & PACs flood Iowa Caucuses with Hailey & DeSantis “bought & paid for” voters?
They literally just called for this. It’s very likely they will be allowed despite Iowa law & will steal the State away from Trump.
Then the combined Media blitz about Trumps over blown numbers will hit the morning after.
It is all choreographed.
It is R party “activists” LOCAL R party activists, which means Precinct Captains and volunteers they supervise, that generally run caucuses and actually do a lot of the legwork and organising for Primaries, as well.
Thats WHY PDJT, Bannon, and some here have been emphasising theprecinctstrategy, to get MAGA people into those KEY positions, to insure the shenanigans of RINOS and Dems are kept to a minimum.
It is imperative at this point to recognize the entire plan.
If we review the critical points from 2000 to now we should be able to predict:
Every effort to ditch GOP control of Congress
Every effort to bias the Supreme Court
Every effort to distract and confuse the voting public by events
Riots
Supply chain disruptions
UN/WEF/Cabal takeover
The end game has always been to get the everyday US citizen to fold, to just say, “make it stop.”
Superb analysis Sundance
Actually, I know some people who “folded” just to “make it stop” when they voted for Biden in 2020.
At least that’s their excuse (or rationalization).
The same reasoning that many used while lining up for poison death shots: to “make it stop.” The only thing that actually stopped was their critical thinking skills.
Well, for many it was also their hearts that stopped.
My dad…retired military officer…trusted authority.
Died 2 weeks after Pfizer booster.
Nimarata scares most Millennials with her warmongering. Not electable.
Winning is not her mission. Her mission is to rake in maximum big-donor money and position herself for a post election speaking tour and appearance fees.
Close, no cigar.
Your correct her mission is NOT to win.
Her mission is to prevent PDJT from winning, her pay off for playing her role in that is as you say, including perhaps a book or position as University President.

Kid Rock says he’s “never seen anyone that wants to win for this country” like Trump & that the Donald is unfazed by the Biden ordered persecution
“I don’t think we’ll see anything like it in our lifetime. He’s the greatest president we’ve ever had”

I concur, Trump is very special, there’s never been anyone like him, probably a once in a lifetime phenomenon.
If Matt Gaetz keeps doing what he’s doing then becoming Florida’s Governor I see him as a future President.
Maybe I shouldn’t say this, they’ll start going after him. By now we see the game, a vicious one at that.
Xavier,
Either you haven’t noticed that Speaker Mike Johnson operation was all a head fake and accomplished nothing or you haven’t noticed that was ALL Matt Gaetz’s operation.
I would not vote for Matt for dog catcher, after that.

Look for Nicki’s numbers to drop after the beatdown she took from Vivek.
After the attack on Israel led by Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), polls show a substantial gain for President Trump nationwide.
In response to the attack, former DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz (D-FL) – keywords: Wiki Leaks, Seth Rich, Awan brothers and friends, $ 850K settlement – established a bipartisan Jewish Caucus: As 26 Jews (24D, 2R) are deeply divided, their mission is unclear. Though President Trump supported Israel extensively, Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Dan Goldman (D-NY), and Adam Schiff (D-CA) played leading roles in one or both impeachments, while Max Miller (R-OH) was subpoenaed by J6.
I’m curious if REP will vote to formalize Biden’s impeachment this week.
Impeachment Inquiry. It’s not the same as Impeachment. They will be able to Subpoena Biden. And that’s what the Administration are trying to avoid.
Ok…
So Trump wins again, just like he did in 2020.
My question is, and has been for a while, how will they steal it, this time???
And what is being done to thwart their schemes?
For 8 years they’ve made it painfully obvious that Trump can NOT be permitted to be President!
That has not changed.
If anything, they’re more determined than ever.
I don’t think we can even imagine what will be unleashed on our President if he wins the nomination.
We are more determined.
You and MAGA will thwart their schemes. Employ the Precinct Strategy – Home and deploy to stop the fraud.
I have written long, detailed comments on some of the many different ways their avenues for trying to steal it have been permanently closed, as well as,…speculations on additional,…avenues that we CAN do, a different spin on addressing “ballot harvesting” etc.
To say that 2024 will be “just like 2020” is no more certain than saying “2020 was just like 2016”; each election is like a new hand of cards, with a shuffled deck, and the cards have no memory.
For some strange reason Meatball thinks he is going to pull it out in Iowa, Casey told him so.
JMO but I think at some point in Meatball’s fall from grace, his advisors threw up their hands because Ron listens only to Casey, and she listens to no one. She knows it all or so she thinks. In that interview with Martha the other night he looked like a hostage.
The people she sees flocking to Iowa to cast an illegal vote is a delusion. Her hubby’s career is finito, thank you Jill.

Desantis events are just becoming sad at this point
51% for Trump on the first vote, but importantly he is number 2 for likely anther 40 to 45%.
So Trump does all the work keeps people interested in the republican party then they stab him in the back, Trump should have started his own party.
It’s not that easy to do. If it were, you would have seen some other parties by now.
Exactly. I tend to stop reading after “should” in any comment that says “Trump should,..” but I gotta admit, this one torks me, as its generally said by people who have no idea how a political party works, how it is formed or operates, or what it takes to form one.
Might as well say, when PDJT’s vehicle encounters traffic, that “he should just get out, hoist the car onto his back and fly to his destination”.
The Uniparty made it impossible, after Perot to form a “3rd party” which is WHY “the Tea party” formed as a ‘rump’ party that worked WITHIN the R party, and why MAGA does the same.
Cut Social Security and Medicare and send the money to Mr. Green Shirt in Kiev. Right. That’s a winning message.
MAGA all the way.
I got a text message from Nikki’s team asking me to join them yesterday morning. How in the heck did they get me cell phone number? with the lead that PDJT has in my state it’s inconceivable that people would jump to her side.
it suggests that Nikki Haley would be the stronger general-election candidate.
