Supersede some of his ardent supporters. i don t like the language, i wish he would use different words but he has a point on immigration being a crisis that the current president isn t handling properly. doug, i don t know if colorful quite covers it. he is, he is saying that immigrants are poisoning the blood of this country. and if i m not mistaken, there s a new cbs poll saying they agree with using that kind of language. what is your sense of it? you know iowa. evangelical voters. very important. here s the poll here from cbs. 81% of gop primary voters agree with trump s claim that immigrants are poisoning the blood of the u.s. can you wrap your head around that? it s very easy. we ve heard this language for six, eight years now from donald trump. when you say something over and over again, it seeps into voters consciousness. you take a caucusgoer, they re ....
Those caucusgoer, people who tend to draw the older support could see an impact. especially those who draw from more rural areas. it will be harder to get to the caucus site from rural areas. maybe you are driving on a gravel path and your truck drives on diesel. so a lot of impacts we might see. but it is not totally clear yet. and what is the ad world been like there? well, you can t turn on a tv right now without seeing a campaign ad. and i think iowans are ready for that part of it to move on. we re seeing them from nikki haley, for ron desantis. i was sitting at a restaurant the other day and saw a tv ad for ryan binkley who is still running. so we re getting them across the board, a lot of different messages from the candidates. a lot are attack ads which ....
Midwesterners are very proud of the fact they can brave any kind of weather. what you re looking at on monday, if i am a caucusgoer, and the high school, or the elementary school where i caucus was closed for my kids that day, it is unlikely that i m going to pack everybody into the car and go there at 6:00 or 7:00 in the evening if the building hasn t even been open. this could have a massive impact. especially as you re talking about urban areas where you have to traverse more streets to get there. i think that donald trump is correct. he has a base. he is in the minds of many republicans the incumbent president anyway. i think there could be surprises. we don t know how strong the others are. if they have a strong organization, you could see a surprise second place in this race. i don t think trump will get knocked off his perch. same question to you when we look at monday, ranging from negative 3 to negative 20. yeah, look. all iowans like to believe ....
And they spent a ton of money. so this is basically a free hour. and not every iowa republican caucusgoer or new hampshire primary voter is watching, but a lot of them are. so i think it s just simply, you know, a freeway to get on fox. but it s not as serious as a presidential candidate can be. and i think it could be risky. by november is he going to be defending donald trump against certain things? because newsom will probably ask him that. he s going to go right at that, right? the approval of the white house. the white house is approving this. this is basically the way for democrats to play in the republican primary, which they love to do here. so i think it s win-win for gavin newsom of course. i want to read a clip from isaak de vere s piece. he wrote for newsom the whole point of the debate proposal is the asymmetric warfare. he isn t running for president. he doesn t have to worry about how this comes off to voters in iowa or new hampshire or anywhere else. he s caterin ....
That tim scott is weak. here is the thing, he does have a $20 million war chest that s going to make a big difference in the states that he s already going to be advertising in as ali said. ali is right, he has to introduce himself and what he s doing now is inoculating himself very strongly against future trump attacks. the problem for trump is that trump probably will not win iowa because the large majority of the caucusgoer constituency there is pro-life and is pro-christian. he didn t win the last time. and this time he s done everything he can to offend them. and tim scott is very appealing to that group. and so tim scott could win two of three of the caucus of the early states if he plays his cards right, which would be iowa and his home state of north carolina, of course, he has a home state competitor there, nikki haley. but he s also offering a completely different vision and alternative which is instead of american carnage, which has been ....
