Inconsequential is what Geraghty is call the Iowa caucuses.
One: About half the party never considered anyone besides Trump as an option.
Two: It’s possible that nothing that happened this year altered the primary’s outcome in any significant way.
Three: The contest may feel over by the night of the Iowa caucuses.
Four: None of Trump’s mistakes or bad moves seem to matter, as half the party doesn’t care and always loves him.
Five: Nothing DeSantis does that he gets right matters, because half the party doesn’t care and always looks for reasons to reject him.
Six: Nikki Haley’s surge is real, as far as it goes, but she’s still climbing from a distant third to a distant second, so this is much ado over little, if not nothing.
Some zingers:
"Yes, you can call me a Never Trumper. I would prefer that the Republican Party nominated any other candidate — okay, maybe not Vivek Ramaswamy, either."
"(Trump) demonstrates the impulse control of an overcaffeinated ferret"
"And even if DeSantis were to pull off a miracle and win the caucuses, let’s remember we’ve seen Trump lose an Iowa caucus before."
"Trump announced in mid June 2015 that he was running for president, so we’re now in our eighth straight year of “yuge” and “the greatest ever” and “many people are saying” and nonsense proposals and conspiracy theories and horse-pucky."
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Again, Trump is a movement.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Just pulled that one out of your ass, eh?
Don't blame me. However, 20 seconds earlier...
