Ron DeSantis visited all 99 counties in Iowa. Donald Trump won all but one of them.
More than 35 years ago, Donald Trump hosted what promoters billed as “Once and For All,” a boxing match between undefeated heavyweights Michael Spinks and Mike Tyson. After knocking Spinks down in less than a minute, Tyson proceeded to knock out his quite-accomplished opponent about 30 seconds later. Trump inflicted last night in the frost what he witnessed at Boardwalk Hall on a warm June night all those years ago. He obliterated the competition in Tysonesque fashion.
Iowa, like Tyson-Spinks, ended before it started. One anticipated the destruction in that fight from the foreshadowing body language during the ring instructions. The also-rans playing the expectations game or dropping out in advance of Iowa performed their version of Spinks shoegazing before “Once and For All.”
Trump not only swept every county not named Johnson County; it appears he exceeded 40 percent in all but four and exceeded 50 percent in all but 13 of the 99 counties.
