your job wasn t enough. you actually had to still do more. john heilemann, thank you so much. absolutely loved your look, your view at iowa. greatly appreciate it. we will be talking to you tomorrow morning. miss you guys here. we miss you, too. enjoy the weather. [ laughter ] anyway, charlie sykes, you re in the middle of that weather, too. i have to say, if foreign policy doesn t matter to republicans that are voting, ann seltzer and the des moines register poll also shows us that donald trump s crimes, possible crimes, possible conviction, 61%, don t matter if he is convicted. one in five say it ll make him more likely to support him. there you have 80% of republicans saying, we don t
