With Iowans holding their first-in-the nation caucuses Monday, President Trump has been increasingly seeking to rival key moments in the Democratic contest with rallies of his own.
"Look, I can make this real easy," Trump told the crowd, musing that he could have just offered a few sentences to make his case."Hello, Iowa. You have no choice. You have to vote for me. Otherwise everything you've built in your entire life will be gone. Goodbye, Iowa. Instead, I work my ass off up here! You think this is easy?"
The Trump campaign strategy behind deploying so many resources here has more than one goal, according to senior campaign officials: to suck up some of the oxygen and media attention that would otherwise be devoted to Democrats, to make a show of force — and to road-test the ground game. The push in Iowa is also intended to help combat the wave of attacks by Democrats in what could be a swing state. While Trump won Iowa by about 10 points in 2016, the state went for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012."I feel badly because it is too late for her to get in," Trump said of his opponent that year, Hillary Clinton."I kept hoping."Monica Alba
