After all those candidate meet-and-greets and ads and speeches, only 170,000 Iowans showed up to caucus.
On this week’s Political Gabfest, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discussed the disastrous Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses, Mitt Romney’s impeachment vote, and the Trump administration’s expanded immigration ban. This transcript of one exchange from their Iowa conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.Perhaps the more alarming fact for Democrats, besides the total incompetence of the conduct of the actual caucuses, was the rather low turnout.
But there are other things the Democrats can count on, at least at some level, which is that their best turnout mechanism—or one of their best turnout mechanisms—is the president who on Thursday morning was attacking Democrats at the National Prayer Breakfast, a venue where presidents traditionally don’t do that kind of thing. And also in the way the president is responding to Nancy Pelosi at the State of the Union and so forth. That is a base motivating mechanism for Democrats.
