Letter to the editor: Trump scores but no ‘blowout’
Regarding the January 18 Addison Independent editorial “Thoughts from Iowa’s caucus”…
In this editorial, Angelo Lynn falls into the trap that most media do when reporting on Trump by not giving the complete picture.
Yes, Trump won 51% of the Iowa caucus votes. However, this was not a “blowout” by any means.
When you consider that only 14% of registered Iowa voters actually went to the polls, and of those 14%, half voted for people other than Trump, his win was far from a “blowout.”
