Top Republican pollster Frank Luntz and Ron DeSantis warned that the low GOP turnout in the Iowa caucuses is a red flag for the party and that if Donald Trump doesn't get 'new voters' then he will lose in the November election.

'Trump is going to have to show that he can get people who didn't vote for him in 2020, he's got to get new voters or he loses,' Luntz told DailyMail.com

'It's a warning sign for the party in November because the turnout was so abysmally low,' the Florida governor said on Friday. 'There's terrible enthusiasm right now.'

Trump's rallies and events are consistently standing room only.

1. Luntz wants to discourage voters- make us despair that Trump can’t win.

2. Weather cold.

3. Why would anyone have excitement for DeSantis or Haley?

4. Democrats had no caucus- this has an effect on the voters.

What part of my previous post did you not understand?
Trump won a majority of Evangelical votes in Iowa.

Are they wrong and DeSantis Christian voters right?

The results don’t support that.

Ron does realize he’d have to find 2.5 X more Republicans just to beat Trump, right?

If you don’t vote for Trump against Biden, you’re not disaffected, you’re a complete idiot.

Not only was it very cold, but polls were showing an insurmountable Trump lead. The polls could have reduced turnout for all involved—Trump supporters for thinking their candidate had it in the bag, and Haley and DeSantis supporters who thought their candidates were going to lose no matter what.

Please. Trump beat across every demographic in IA, improving vastly from his 2020 numbers…. But what can you do?

The establishment/globalist/Uniparty is going to keep
Pushing this nonsense no matter what.

When he crushes in NH they’ll offer some other excuse… when he wipes the floor in SC they will still push this crap.

They got nothing else but will beat that drum until the election etc etc

Fact Trump is winning national and swing state polling and increasing his leads every day, when he never lead polling in 2016 or 2020 is proof Trump has grown his support… but those facts don’t matter

Isn’t this the same 🤡 who just the day before said that Trump is the one to beat in Nov. I guess he received that DNC fax overnight. He really is a sad pathetic little man, and that horrible looking hair piece on his head isn’t helping matters.

Not to worry...... Iowa caucus is irrelevant. Luntz gets paid to utter words.

The turnout was amazingly high, considering there was a blizzard and temps were below zero not counting wind chill factor.

And DeSantis is the one who has absolutely no respect for IA voters. I think he lost a lot of humanity in voters’ eyes when he had his goons take a wheelchair-bound man out in 12° weather and leave him there.

The only thing the guy had done was wear a hat with a logo for a podcast that is pro-Trump.

The snow and blizzard were a few days before. It was cold. In Iowa. In the winter. That’s not exactly newsworthy.

The media was making a big deal about it because they come from DC…where it doesnt get that cold. Iowans put on their winter coats and boots and get on with it. Blaming the weather is a non-starter.
