MSNBC's Joe Scarborough blamed "radical" Iowa Republicans for setting themselves up to lose again in November's general election.

Donald Trump won over 50 percent of the vote in the state's first-in-the-nation caucus, and the "Morning Joe" host said Republicans should consider dropping Iowa as the bellwether of its primary contests as Democrats have done.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough trashed Donald Trump supporters for backing a presidential candidate that any "sane" person would reject.

The former president trounced his rivals in the Iowa caucus in spite of a tsunami of legal problems – including indictments, lawsuits and looming penalties for fraud and defaming his sex abuse victim – and the "Morning Joe" host said his persistent political success is a symptom of the "twisted" personality cult that has gathered around the former reality TV star.

Former GOP strategist Ana Navarro all but begged Democrats to stop fretting about President Joe Biden's age -- especially when the alternative is former President Donald Trump.

Appearing on CNN Tuesday, Navarro expressed bewilderment that Democrats always focus on the flaws of their own party's leadership while the current GOP frontrunner is loaded with political baggage.

Mere hours after Donald Trump's Monday night projected Iowa Caucus win, CNN hosts Kaitlan Collins and Abby Phillips agreed that the former president's tone, delivery and "attitude" during his victory speech were in stark contrast to many of his previous appearances.

"It shows how confident he feels coming off of this win," Collins said. "I haven't heard Donald Trump give a speech like that in probably years, and I've been to a lot of Donald Trump speeches. He hasn't called Ron DeSantis 'Ron' since Ron DeSantis entered the presidential race. He's only called him by nicknames and called him disloyal. To see him give that speech speaks to how he feels after this victory tonight. But I also think this is the speech that he's giving after he has not had any wins in several years.

During a conversation with MSNBC hosts Ari Melber and Jen Psaki ahead of Monday night's caucus, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean expressed that he's "shocked" at how much Iowa has changed politically over the years.

Speaking with Dean, Psaki and Melber played a clip from NBC News Correspondent Priscilla Thompson's interview with a Sioux County, Iowa, self-described evangelical Christian explaining why he disagrees with many fellow evangelicals in the state who continue to support Donald Trump.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) referred to Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) as "the Miss America of the MAGA movement."

At an Iowa campaign event supporting Donald Trump on Monday, Gaetz was introduced by Rep. Byron Donald (R-FL).

Donald Trump Jr. is leaving open the door to running for office in 2028.

During a "Trump Country" campaign event in Ankney ahead of Iowa's caucuses on Monday, the former president's son was asked about his plans for running in 2028.

Donald Trump's campaign headquarters in Iowa told Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble they are struggling to turn out some voters because of the cold weather.

"So we're outside of the Trump campaign's HQ," Trimble told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. "Inside, the volunteers have been working the lines trying to drum up support for the former president, but I can tell you, Martha, from the volunteers I've talked to, they did hear from people who said I'd love to caucus for the former president, but it's just too cold."

Newly emerged allegations about Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hiring a pre-existing romantic partner to a special counsel position in the election conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump are unlikely to derail the case as a matter of procedural or technical merits, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner told MSNBC's Chris Jansing on Monday — but that doesn't mean Trump won't try to use it as a weapon to confuse and misdirect the public.

This comes as Willis has finally spoken publicly on the matter, defending prosecutor Nathan Wade's qualifications and professionalism but neither confirming nor denying any romantic involvement with him or addressing concerns that they profited from his appointment.

A North Dakota Republican struggled to explain why he'd suddenly thrown his support behind Donald Trump’s presidential campaign Monday.

“It's a binary choice,” Gov. Doug Burgum told Phil Mattingly. “President Trump is going to win the Republican nomination.”

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell argued that Fox News refuses to air his advertisements because he hired former employee Lou Dobbs.

Last week, Lindell said Fox News had "canceled" his ads and admitted that he owes the company $7.8 million.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blasted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over a church speech that accused the lawmaker of being "filled with hate."

While speaking on the War Room podcast with Steve Bannon, Greene responded to remarks Willis made a day earlier at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said Monday that he wants "deeper cuts" to the Department of Health and Human Services to "save the American people."

During an appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room broadcast, Gaetz complained about Republicans who do not want drastic cuts to social welfare programs.
