GOP race losing energy fast – Washington Examiner

By Thomas A. Smith

Have you noticed something about the intensity of interest in the Republican presidential race? It seems to have peaked earlier this week with the Iowa caucuses, specifically with former President Donald Trump s 51% win, 30 points ahead of second-place Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and 32 points ahead of third-place former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. After Iowa, in the conventional scenario, the race s energy was supposed to rise in the big contest in New Hampshire, and then rise further to an epic showdown in South Carolina.

Instead, interest seems to be flat or declining. Before Iowa, every discussion of the GOP race included this caveat: But no one has voted yet! Now they have, even just 110,000 voters in Iowa, and there seems to be a growing assumption that the voters decision has been made. It s over, or nearly over.
