Well, The Donald has done it. As everyone said he would. Amid the blizzards of Iowa, with a windchill factor taking the temperature down to -40 degrees (the point where Celsius and Fahrenheit meet), the quintessential American has scored more than 50% of the vote in the Iowa caucus, the very wobbly first contest in the presidential campaign. Trump’s pure majority — he took just over 50% — not only dwarfs that of the other contenders, with Ron DeSantis just above 20%, narrowly pipping out Nikki Haley just under it, but it also blows the whole contest itself out of the water.
