After former President Donald Trump made what were considered two large mistakes in the pivotal early caucus state of Iowa, Republican political strategists say he may not be able to recover.
This week, Trump confirmed a reported feud with Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) when he called her out on social media for remaining neutral in the Republican candidate campaigns. The rift, it turns out, could affect Republican voters’ attitudes going into the state’s first-in-the-nation GOP presidential caucuses, which are six months away.
According to Republican political strategist John Feehery, the move was “really stupid.”
“There’s just an arrogance with Trump right now that he thinks he’s got it and he can bully people,” he said. “But I don’t think he can bully Kim Reynolds. And I think it’s a mistake for him to try.”
