On Sunday, political reported on the sad plight of Democrats in Iowa and elsewhere. Besides getting

rid of Trump as Democrats believe they've done, the party had an unhappy ending in the 2020 elections.

Their dreams of winning back state houses fizzled, and not only did they fail to win the U.S.

Senate outright, they almost lost the House of Representatives. Political reports that the Democrat

party's disastrous election night showing has left Iowa Democrats on edge. They're doing a lot

of soul-searching supposedly. Senator Joni Ernst, who was said to be in the fight of her life,

clobbered her Democrat opponent by seven points. President Trump trounced Biden by eight points.

Iowa Democrats lost one house seat barely hung onto their other one. None of this was predicted

by polls or pundits who expected a blue wave. This raises one of the biggest questions of all.

How is it that the Republican party did so well, exceeding all expectations? How did the

Republicans manage to gain or hold on to seats they were supposed to lose at every level of the

electorate, with the only exception being the most popular Republican in the country president

Trump? Well, there's an easy answer. President Trump had a great night too until on edge Democrats

made sure he didn't by giving themselves a ballot machine edge, and that's why they're on edge.

They're just waiting to get caught.
