In Buffalo, Iowa, a community wrestles with Trump-fueled political apathy

[progressoid]

Trump is so far ahead in Iowa polls that some voters in Buffalo, Iowa, a small riverfront community down the Mississippi River from Davenport are starting to feel a bit apathetic about the upcoming caucuses.

"It just seems like it's a done deal," said John McBride, who was walking his two dogs near his house. "It's not even close."

But she emphasizes those who love Trump, really love him and will go out of their way to support him.

She doesn't think there are nearly enough other voters to stop him from winning the Republican nomination. "It certainly seems like right now that's who is going to win the Republican nomination," she said. "But I don't want it."

She's not alone.

1. What is this like the 100th "heartland" voter feature

that NPR has graced us with this year?

I don't care about their apathy. LOL. The GOPs can suck pig nuts.

we listen to NPR at breakfast daily. Gawd I hate it when they go out of their way (or so it seems) to mollify their 'republican" listeners with a normalizing Trump segment.

They could do a lot of good by making sure its any segment on Trump that he is an indicted felon and instigated an attempted coup.
