The two big bulls in the Iowa Caucus Republican presidential rodeo, former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, are kicking up enough dust that it’s hard to see the others. Trump blew into Davenport along the Mississippi River on Monday, DeSantis was there last Friday. As DeSantis spoke, Trump opened fire on social media calling him “DeSanctimonious” and noting that as a congressman the Floridian dissed corn ethanol — the third rail of Iowa politics.
And sadly, a few of the others not being seen, nor having their more moderate views vetted by a party clearly held hostage by the Trump/DeSanits wing, are opting not to enter the fray. The recent announcement by Larry Hogan, former Maryland governor, is the latest example!
