The "opening battle" of the US presidential election started in Iowa.

This is not a "war" between Trump and Hillary, but a "war" between the two and their rivals in the party.

Although the two are now very popular in traditional media and online media respectively-

According to the opinion polls previously released by American media, the support rates of Republican Trump and Democratic Hillary are ahead of the party candidates, but this does not ensure that they can both win Iowa.

The final result is indeed surprising.

Trump lost.

His Republican peer, Ted Cruz, a representative of the radical Tea Party, won the Republican primary in Iowa.

Hillary won too narrowly.

She is on par with Bernie Sanders, who is called a "socialist" by the media and vows to cut ties with Wall Street.

According to the British "Guardian", Hillary Clinton received 49.89% of the votes, while Sanders received 49.54%, a narrow victory of only 0.3%.

The outcome of the Iowa primary election, which is regarded as a "testing ground" and "weathervane" for the US presidential election, has been determined.

In fact, no matter who wins or loses, the road to the White House is long, and this is just the beginning.

Afterwards, Trump made another big statement: "Congratulations to everyone, but the Republican nomination is still mine in the end."

Cruz, who defeated Trump, shouted: "The results in Iowa show that the Republican candidate and the next president of the United States will not be selected by the media, and of course not by the Washington elite. Tonight is a victory for the brave conservatives in Iowa and this great country!"

The next day, Martin received a call from Ivanka.

"Don't panic, baby, this is just the beginning. According to my analysis, Mr. Cruz's victory in Iowa is largely related to his "conservatism". Cruz is the current federal senator from Texas. In 2010, he was one of the representatives of the Tea Party movement. In 2012, he was recommended by Republican conservatives and was elected to the Senate for the first time. This guy is a "candidate who knows how to argue for conservative values," such as his stance on gun control and religion."

"And Iowa is a very small and very conservative federal state with a majority white population. Most of the voters are farmers, with strong religious consciousness and devout belief in God. Cruz's 'conservative style' obviously caters to the appetite of local voters. On the contrary, your father's 'fool' personality is not popular in such a place. "

(PS: Cruz is not an unknown person. He is known as "eloquent" in the Republican Party. His ability to "argue with reason" is so strong that it is unimaginable. He once did such an exaggerated thing - in 2013, in order to resist President Obama's health care bill, Cruz occupied the podium of Congress and spoke for a full 21 hours in one breath! He evenHe read the fairy tale of "Green Eggs and Ham" to his two daughters in front of the TV in Congress, and also recited a famous line from Star Wars. At the end of his speech, his voice was still loud and he did not show any signs of fatigue. )

"Election is a long war, and the loss of one state does not mean anything."

Martin's comfort made Ivanka relax a little.

Then he started to complain to Martin: "Yes, I know this is just the character he set for himself, but now I find that my father seems to enjoy it a little bit. I am even worried that he is too addicted to it and will eventually become such a person..."

"Oh, my God, sometimes I get very angry when I hear him being laughed at; and the weird remarks and actions that my father makes from time to time, although I know they are fake, I always feel embarrassed."

"Haha, you just get used to it. If you want to be a qualified politician, thick skin is one of the essential conditions." Martin laughed, "You should learn from your father in this regard. Look at him. He said in his campaign speech last October, 'If I lose in Iowa, I will never speak to you again', but now he has completely forgotten that he said this. Not only does he still brag, he even made a victory declaration in advance on the day of his defeat. ”

"Haha, 'I will get the Republican presidential nomination and easily defeat Hillary or Sanders, no matter who the opponent is', look at how confident this is, so ordinary people in the United States like him. ”

"Well, isn't this a kind of 'talking without thinking'?" Ivanka's view of her father is the opposite of Martin's. "Don't you think my father has said too much recently? And in many places, he sounds like a bragging idiot. Will voters like such a person to be the president of the United States? ”

"Hey, Ivanka, sometimes you can get a lot of fans by making yourself a 'clown'. People have seen too many 'high-end' politicians, and their eyes are filled with those politicians who package themselves beautifully. Over time, they develop a kind of disgust. The sudden appearance of a person like your father can make everyone's eyes light up."

"First of all, they will feel novel, and secondly, they will feel that your father is very close to them. People always need some spiritual support to live, and they must have psychological and physical satisfaction. In this world, most people are vulgar, and the best way for a vulgar person to seek satisfaction is to find something more vulgar than himself, so as to comfort himself and seek spiritual comfort..."

Ivanka listened attentively.

In Martin's memory, the "aesthetics of ugliness" will be popular on the Internet around the world in the future, and this is the same reason.

These "Internet clowns" are popular for their pranks, ugly appearances, and weird behaviors., which is also the trend of the times.

It must be said that Trump's campaign strategy can be regarded as accurately grasping the pulse of this era.

The exchange with Martin ended.

Ivanka walked into her father's office, "Dad, Martin and I just discussed a plan..."

"What?" Trump looked up and asked.

"Maybe you need to make a series of outrageous remarks on the Internet to enhance your image in the minds of the public, such as "unreliable" and "big mouth", and then suddenly make some reasonable political views. This sudden sense of contrast can enhance your appeal..."

"Martin and I think so. The previous series of exaggerated remarks can reduce the public's expectations of you, uh, don't be angry when I say this, it can reduce the public's expectations of your ability, which in turn will increase their tolerance threshold for you, and once you make remarks that satisfy them, it will increase their sense of surprise..."

Trump's eyes lit up.
