With just 12 days left before the Iowa Caucus, Team Trump is firing on all cylinders, surging in the polls and seems primed to seize a third, consecutive Republican nomination
In just twelve days, President Donald J. Trump will officially post his first W of the 2024 Primary Season, with a victory in the Iowa Caucus after dominating the pre-season schedule against his rather inept and even less effective “challengers” within the Republican Party.
Less than two weeks after Iowa, the 45th President will capture the New Hampshire Primary and be well on his way to sweeping the first five primary states ahead of Super Tuesday on March 5th and the eventual 2024 GOP nomination.
Which lends credit to the former President, now in his third, consecutive presidential election cycle and his campaign staff, who have assisted Trump in navigating the attacks coming from the mainstream media and the justice system; both which have been weaponized against him.
Surrounded by many of his allies on the ground in Iowa, like his son, Eric, former (Iowa Hawkeyes tight end) acting U.S. Attorney General, Matt Whitaker, and possible VP hopeful, South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem, Donald Trump has left little to chance; understanding that he doesn’t need to run “the full Grassley” to win and win big in the Hawkeye State - instead choosing to strategically hit the State Fair on multiple occasions, college campuses and football games, state-level GOP organizations and holding more, concise events like the “Commit to Caucus” rally’s which hit directly to the case in point and center around objective:
Winning.
The impact of the 2024 campaign strategy combined with the cost-effective way that the Trump Team has conducted themselves has vaulted Donald Trump through the preamble of this primary season and has him looking stronger and more battle-tested than ever before.
Most pundits, consultants and commentators are often reluctant to count their chickens before they hatch, however, when you examine the long-game methodology and precision accuracy that the Trump Team has navigated their campaign to at this point, you can’t go without saying it’s not, “if Donald Trump is going to win,” anymore, rather, “by how much is Donald Trump going to win the nomination by” and how fast will he snatch up the delegates needed to seal the deal.
Which is why this election cycle, unlike all but one other before it, plays right into Donald Trump hands because of his record and of course, the promises kept from his first term in office.
Let me remind you that in 1893 and in a rematch of the closely-contested election of 1888, Former Democrat President Grover Cleveland recaptured the White House in an election rematch against his successor, Republican incumbent, Benjamin Harrison, marking it as the first and only time that a former President won a nonconsecutive election bid and in turn, won back the White House.
Since 1972, five of six former Iowa and New Hampshire primary winners went on to receive theirs party’s nomination for President. Consequently, only one of those winners, Jimmy Carter, a democrat, went on to win the presidency.
Donald Trump has a clearly defined track record and accomplishments stemming from his first term that saw a safer and secure border, energy independence, a robust economy, reworked alliance pacts, new trade deals and the world moving towards more peace and prosperity then it ever was and has been under Joe Biden.
In what has become typical fashion for Donald Trump, the stars are aligning and he again appears poised to make history as he rewrites the political playbook his own way in his bid to return to the White House in 2025.
All of the pollsters, the messaging apparatus and commentators have their first major test a week from next Tuesday in Iowa. Those who have remained loyal or returned to Trump World prior to or shortly thereafter his November 2022 reelection announcement feel confident but understand that there is much work to be done in the less than eleven months before America goes to the ballot box to choose a President in November of this year.
Those who are running against Donald Trump or are tied to the lobbyists, special interests, billionaire donor class, military, media and pharmaceutical industrial complexes and K Street at this point can simply, cope and seethe. As they lay and wait for a felony conviction, ballot removal or even assassination attempt it’s becoming clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee later this year.
That will at this point, set a potential 2020 rematch with Crooked Joe Biden whose stance and stature has slipped greatly since he was paraded out as the savior to democracy back in 2019. And you can surly bet that when you put the America First movement up against what the American public has been dealt over the last few years that Making America Great Again will be just the beginning of the many amazing things to come for our nation.
