Legacy media has called Donald Trump’s win in the Iowa Caucus a “landslide victory” and a “historic win.” Theoretically both statements are true: Trump did beat his two closest opponents, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Trump’s own former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley by nearly 30 points. And the win was historic in the sense that no other failed president has chosen to run again after being voted out of office.

Networks are heavily promoting their night of Iowa caucus coverage, with reporters fanned out across the state and, throughout the day on Monday, anchors doing their best to stir up excitement in the waiting game before voting actually begins.
