On Tuesday morning, former Fox News host and head of a new media empire, Tucker Carlson, responded to leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump's massive victory over the competition in the Iowa caucuses the previous evening. With all caucusgoers counted, Trump secured 51 percent of the vote, while Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) came in second with 21.2 percent, and former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) came in third with 19.1 percent.
"What would happen if we held an election the way Americans used to do it just a few years ago? We should try that sometime. Here's how it would work. Everyone would vote on the same day in person, and you would show up and present an ID... then you'd mark your preferences on a piece of paper, and you'd do it manually. There would be no electronic voting machines. There would be no drop boxes or absentee ballots. The poll workers would probably be people that you recognize from your own zip code. They would be your neighbor. They would not be employees of Mark Zuckerberg from California," Carlson began. "As for the names on the ballot, you would get to choose those yourself as citizens do in a democracy. Judges wouldn't be allowed to tell you who you can't vote for. You'd get to decide. And then, once you voted, nobody could order a stop to the vote counting. That would be illegal, so you would know the results of the election within a few hours...that's how we used to do it in this country. What would happen if we tried it again?"
Carlson then went on to explain that "Donald Trump won decisively. At this point, it's hard to see how he's not the Republican nominee because he didn't just win last night; he triumphed overwhelmingly by a historic margin. Trump won the Iowa caucuses by about 30 points. That's more than double the previous record that was set in 1988 by Bob Dole. Last night was not close. It was a shocking blowout. Trump did to Iowa what the Vikings once did to the Irish coast. Only smoldering huts remain. Chris Wallace looked like he was going to be sick."
