The 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucus was held on January 15, 2024. Weather conditions were such that an estimated 14% of registered Republican voters turned out to caucus. The landscape of Iowa on that evening has been described as a frozen tundra, presumed to be nearly as white as the voters who braved the unkind elements in desperate support of their leader. Despite the ghastly weather conditions, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis gathered in the wake of a friendly non-debate five days prior to display their pitiful inadequacy to the task of challenging Inmate Number P01135809, who could not be bothered to show, for the title of Court Jester. The results were unsurprising, yet still illuminating.
