  1. The narrative being put forth is that this is the first time anybody has gotten an outright majority in the Iowa caucuses. Which makes it sound like a "historic win" like it's being hyped up to be. But that "first time" comes with a huge asterisk: it excludes all the times that an incumbent President won the Iowa caucuses, because every time a President has run for reelection they've won the Iowa caucuses by a very large majority. And Trump is for all intents and purposes running as an incumbent. This is the first time an ex-President has ever run in the Iowa caucuses (the Iowa caucuses didn't exist yet when Grover Cleveland ran for a non-consecutive second term in 1892). Polling of Iowa Republican caucus-goers showed that about 2/3 of think that Trump is the incumbent (ie that he won the 2020 election). Given all of that, Trump's 51% of the vote should be seen as a sign of massive weakness. The same as it would be if Biden were to only barely get a majority among Iowa Democrats. Imagine how the media would portray that: if Marianne Williamson got 19% of the vote, Dean Phillips got 21%, and Biden got 51%.

  2. The entire narrative of "open borders and high prices across the board" is a blatant lie, though. We don't have any such things.
