The pundit asshats on cable TV all think that "the world's eyes will be trained on Iowa" tomorrow, but actually, the world's eyes will be trained on football. On the order of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, today's game between Buffalo and Pittsburgh was postponed to 4:30 pm Monday, due white-out conditions (they've had two feet-plus). And then there's another game at 8 pm. So, yep — football, all the way.
Nevertheless, the TV talkers will keep prattling about how momentous the now-obsolete Iowa caucuses are. (As pollster Larry Sabato points out, "The winner of the Iowa caucuses has been declared. It's the DEMOCRATS for dropping it.") The narratives they'll chase will include: Will Benedict Donald get over 50 percent? Will Nikki Haley threaten him as an unexpectedly solid second? Will Casey DeSantis tell Ron to drop out before or after New Hampshire? All very tiresome and silly.
Since nutcase Laura Loomer believes the Deep State is manipulating Iowa's brutal winter weather to rig the results, our preference would be for a low turnout. That would throw a nice wrench into everything, and get the GOP off on the wrong foot. But Trump has been showing some weakness of late — mentally and physically. So it might be worth keeping an eye peeled, just in case he lands unexpectedly in the 40 percent range. That would send everyone spiraling. We cats PURR.
