Sure, there may be fractures, but not enough to turn Iowa blue.
This is why it never made sense to start the presidential contest in Iowa and knock out a potentially strong Dem candidate based on primary votes in a deeply red, non-diverse state before they even get started.
Listen to these folks.

This is rejection. And you can’t spin numbers this bad.
But Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2026, so Dems need to hang his policies around every Republican’s neck and make them own every single one.

I recently met a widowed 71-year-old woman still working two jobs and living at an extended-stay hotel because even two jobs don't pay her enough to afford rent.
This is what "one more year of work" looks like in America.

Dr. Oz: "If we can get the average person to work one more year in their whole lifetime -- just stay in your workplace for one more year -- that is worth about $3 trillion to the US GDP. That's the productivity we would unleash ... if you're sick, you can't work."

One year in of Trump’s second term and it already feels like a decade.
I don’t feel we talk about this enough, but the amount of PTSD we’re all experiencing as a result of Donald Trump is off the charts.
Basically we’ve been living in trauma since 2016. Let that sink in - a decade of chaos. 😕

Great video summing up the insanity — and some hopeful advice on what we can do going forward.

Democrats struggle with messaging about the attacks in Minnesota after the disastrous response to "defund the police"
But Mamdani offers a clear, unambiguous statement
Abolish ICE
He's right. We must rid America of these goons, because what they are doing is illegal, immoral and outright harmful
But Mamdani offers a clear, unambiguous statement

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Q: "How far are you willing to go to acquire Greenland?"
A: Trump: "You'll find out." (Translation: Trump doesn't actually know and can't tell us until his handlers tell him what the answer is.) #shesaid

Trump has no decency.
He’s worried about Renée Good’s father still being a “tremendous Trump fan.” No kind words about her life.
To each his own. But if I were her father, I’d place the blame squarely at Trump’s feet. He could call off ICE’s cruelty and abuse with a single Truth Social post.
