Trump Pulled It Off - 2024 Republican Nomination Locked

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America on YouTube

And a couple of MSNBC hosts were absolutely stunned when they found out some information

about former President Donald Trump that they did not want to hear. Before we get started

please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those little things really help us out

and they help our channel continue to grow. So an MSNBC reporter or an NBC reporter was on

Morning Joe, which is hate Trump central, right? Yet they had him on all the time in 2016

probably assisted his campaign more than they can imagine. Now it's hate Trump central

And this NBC reporter, he explained to them the cold hard reality of what is happening

and what's happening with the Trump campaign. And it appears he's inevitable. Let's take a look

On the Republican field for president. Joining us now from the big board

NBC News, national political correspondent, Steve Kornacki. Steve, what are the numbers show

Yeah, we're basically exactly almost exactly 35 days, almost exactly a month

until the Iowa caucuses. This what we're going to show you our brand new NBC News

Des Moines register poll. The Des Moines register poll is taken by Ann Selzer. She is known as

one of the best in the business and certainly the authority when it comes to polling on Iowa. So let

me show you these numbers. Republican side for the Iowa caucuses. We now have Donald Trump leading

with an outright majority in Iowa, 51 percent. Ron DeSantis, a very distant second at 19. Nikki

Haley, 16. Ramaswamy and Christie at four. We last polled Iowa in October, also with the Des

Moines register. Since then, look at this. Donald Trump's lead. He has added eight points to his

total. DeSantis up a couple. Haley, who had been moving flat. I think it's significant because in

the month leading up to this poll, you had Ron DeSantis pick up the endorsement of the governor

of Iowa, the endorsement of a key evangelical leader in Iowa, got a lot of press attention

for completing a 99 county tour of Iowa, had a Fox News debate against Gavin Newsom in front of

millions of Republican leaning voters, and was part of that fourth Republican debate last week

that Donald Trump wasn't in. So for all those things that we thought might be giving DeSantis

a boost over the last month, it is Trump, despite not participating in the debates again, it's Trump

who's made the big gains. Trump who's moved to 51 percent in this Iowa poll. Just a couple other

numbers we can show you behind this. These are evangelical voters in Iowa. Remember, Donald Trump

finished third with this group in 2016 when he ran in Iowa and lost. Now he leads it overwhelmingly

exact same number as what he gets overall. Evangelicals could make up two out of every three

caucus goers in Iowa. That was the case the last time around. Where Trump really turns it on

though, it is first time caucus goers. This tends to be a younger group overall. Look at that, 63

percent of folks who say for the first time they're going to go to a caucus are rallying behind

Donald Trump. This is independence. Independents are a small share of the Iowa electorate, but I

think it gets to the basic problem Nikki Haley has. Look how much better Nikki Haley does among

independents. It's true in Iowa. It's true in New Hampshire. It is true in every poll we have seen

But in Iowa and in most of these Republican primary and caucus states, big exception being

New Hampshire, independents are going to be outnumbered significantly by core Republicans

Haley has yet to show that she can make the inroads she needs with core Republicans. That is

to say, Republicans who like Donald Trump. She's yet to show she can make those inroads to be

competitive. Also, in terms of enthusiasm, we asked folks, are you very extremely enthusiastic

about your choice? Trump, look at that, two to one, three to one advantage over his rivals. We asked

folks, is your mind made up? Seventy, seven out of ten percent of Trump voters in Iowa say their

minds are made up, again, more than double that of any of his nearest rivals. And then we asked this

question here. A lot of words. This is about electability and Republicans perception of it

here. We've talked so much in twenty twenty three about Donald Trump's trials. We will continue to

talk about it in twenty twenty four. But we asked folks, can Donald Trump win the election regardless

of his legal challenges? Now, nearly three out of four Republicans in Iowa say yes. Last month

that number wasn't even two out of three. Big jump there for Trump. We also said, hey

are Trump's legal challenges too much? They make it nearly impossible for him to win. Twenty four

percent saying that again, that number was over 30 last month. So all sorts of signs in this poll

Mika, showing that Donald Trump over the last month, last six weeks in Iowa has actually

improved his position. And the last time we were this close to the caucuses, again

just about a month away, that a Republican candidate had a lead anywhere near this size

You go all the way back to George W. Bush. The year was 2000. Bush won the caucuses. Bush won

the nomination. I love how they're stunned by this. That that is hilarious to me. I think

look, come on, the polls have been shifting this way. They're not changing no matter how much

propaganda you use. I know it's stunning that your propaganda is not working. I get it. You

had a stranglehold on the media for all these years, but that's over now. That's over now

And well, the stunned look on your face is satisfying. I want to know what you guys think

about this. Please let me know in the comments. Also, please, again, remember to like, share and

subscribe. There's an election coming, guys. We need you to assist us here. I'm Carmine Sabia
