Speaker 1: Donald Trump got a very special, brutal welcome to sports.
He tried going to a football game in Iowa, Iowa versus Iowa State.
This is college football.
And he was brutally, brutally booed.
There are cheers as well.
I won't lie, but there are a lot of boos there.
Listen to this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There you go.
One other clip here.
So listen, I won't be the one that says there are no cheers there.
There are obviously some cheers there, but there are a lot of boos.
You can also see people flipping off Trump.
At one point, Trump was behind glass and there are a bunch of metal fingers there being pointed
in the direction of Trump.
At another moment, there was a particular woman with a double middle finger in the direction
of Trump, which is really, really a lot.
And as a general thing, you know, oftentimes people just don't like politicians at their
sporting events.
So I would be lying if I said this was unique to Trump or unique to Iowa or unique to Republicans
are unique to college football or whatever.
It is very common that when elected officials go to sporting events, they get at least booed
to some degree.
There are some exceptions Trump going to UFC events.
They seem to love Trump at UFC.
When George W Bush after 9/11 threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium, uniformly cheered
from what I recall.
You can find that video on YouTube.
So some exceptions.
But it's very common that politicians get booed at sporting events.
DeSantis also experiencing some middle fingers when he tried to participate in sports ball
watching and relate to the normal people as robotic as he is.
So this is funny.
There is a bigger story here, which is Iowa, a red state, a state Trump easily won in 2020.
Might Democrats do better in states like Iowa in 2024 than they have historically done?
We just don't know.
We don't have polling on this yet.
We have primary polling out of Iowa, Trump versus DeSantis.
Trump is plus 37 in Iowa right now over DeSantis.
I don't have anything new.
There's some polling Biden versus Trump.
I think it's months and months old out of Iowa.
It's not worth very much right now.
We are going to have to wait and see.
But one of the most interesting stories, assuming that we avoid the threat of an anti-democratic
explosion, the likes of which we may never have seen before, if Trump wins, it will be
an interesting curiosity to see Do Democrats perform better in some historically red states?
Iowa being one of those, Trump should probably avoid going to sporting events for the foreseeable
future.
