5. Rhonda will be dropping out next week

A 3rd place finish in Iowa will be fatal. He is going to do worse in NH.

7. Yes, it's easy to see. Here are the first four grafs

Nikki Haley has overtaken Ron DeSantis in Iowa just days before a high-stakes Republican caucus that could help determine whether either candidate has a viable shot at upending Donald Trump, the race’s far-and-away front-runner.

But even as Haley has moved into second place, a new Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll indicates her support may be based on “shaky ground,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, who conducted the poll.

The Iowa Poll shows 48% of likely Republican caucusgoers pick Trump as their first choice for president — a slight dip from the 51% who said the same in December.

Haley, who has shown more upward momentum since the start of the caucus cycle than any other candidate, now sits in second place at 20%. It is her best showing in the Iowa Poll, and an increase of 4 percentage points since December.

Personally, I never see paywalls. If you don't want to see paywalls either, first you need to use Firefox as a browser (honestly, if you care at all about privacy, you should be doing that anyway). Then you need to get the NoScript extension (get it at https://noscript.net/). NoScript blocks JavaScript programs from running, and those are what block you from seeing the article.

I've written about this more extensively elsewhere. If anyone seriously wants to set this up, DM me and I'll be happy to help you.

ETA: a missing space

Young Americans flock to Donald Trump, set stage for Iowa Caucus victory
Gen Z remembers that, when Trump was president, it was easy to find a good-paying job, and we were safer abroad and in our own backyard. Life was objectively better.

Snip

Aside from Trump's record on the issues that matter to young voters, he also has an increasing edge in pop culture that no other candidate in the primary or general elections has. He’s cool. He has been targeted by the opposing party's Department of Justice and harassed by radical left district attorneys, and it has backfired on the left. His mugshot has turned him into a kind of folk hero symbol that is being discussed on popular radio shows and podcast like the Breakfast Club, Joe Rogan and the Nelk Boys. Popular musicians have endorsed him. He gets standing ovations at the UFC fights in Madison Square Garden.

And for this reason, young people across party lines are asking for a mulligan. Luckily, they are going to get one.
