Iowa, Trump and America's future: Republicans should reject the former president

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : In national polls, Trump gets the support of more than 60% of likely Republican voters, with Haley and Trump-lite Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the distant lowest double digits.
62% : Iowa and New Hampshire are closer, but Trump still looks dominant in both.
28% : Donald Trump, who maintains through his lawyers that a president is immune from criminal prosecution even after he leaves office should he say, order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate his rival -- provided he's never impeached and convicted for the act.
27% : Donald Trump, who has pledged in a second term to use the power of the presidency to exact revenge on his political enemies, and who's floated the idea of slapping a 10% tariff on all imported goods -- a policy step that would bring supercharge the inflation he and his supporters claim to revile.
26% : In countless ways, four more years of Trump would be a debacle for our Republic.
22% : At least one of those cases could crescendo after the Republican Convention but before the November election, leaving voters to choose between a convicted felon staring down prison and the incumbent Democrat.Donald Trump, who has been found guilty of business fraud in a state civil trial in Manhattan and will likely face a fine of hundreds of millions of dollars.
21% : Donald Trump, who faces 91 felony counts in four different venues.
18% : Donald Trump, who a Manhattan federal jury found he had sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll and was made to pay her $5 million and who goes on trial for defaming Carroll again tomorrow.
13% : Donald Trump, who even the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board has branded "the Republican Party's biggest loser," for how in successive election years he has dragged the GOP down.
13% : Donald Trump, who has said that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" and "destroying the blood of our country," sick words that echo those of the worst dictators in modern history.
10% : Donald Trump, who is increasingly spouting delusional nonsense on the campaign trail.
7% : Donald Trump, who continues to spout the lie that the 2020 election, which he lost fair and square and overwhelmingly to Biden, was stolen from him.
