Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump dissed early voters in Iowa in a retweet on Thursday, the same day a new poll found contender Ben Carson leading the real estate mogul in the first-in-the-nation state.
In response to a new Quinnipiac poll that found retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson leading Trump among Iowa Republicans, the ex-reality TV star quote-retweeted to his 4.6 million Twitter followers:
“@mygreenhippo #BenCarson is now leading in the #polls in #Iowa. Too much #Monsanto in the #corn creates issues in the brain? #Trump #GOP“
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2015
Trump’s retweeting the semi-coherent message was immediately appraised as a misfire for the billionaire businessman. The Iowa caucuses carry substantial gravity in the presidential race, serving as a critical proving ground for which campaigns are viable in the long run.
The candidate also gave oxygen to the anti-genetically modified foods movement, despite the fact that numerous public health agencies have found no evidence that foods made with GMOs are unsafe.
Trump to Iowa: Drop Dead
Trump is like an open carry with a hair trigger, walking around pointed at his own head.
First sign of friction, out go the lights.
And it’s not even about him—Iowa GOPers are just extra-Jeebusy so naturally Carson does well. Honest to God, if you can’t handle the slightest criticism then campaigning for the Presidency is probably not a good hobby for you.

You mean the numerous public health agencies that used Monsanto’s data, without conducting their own research? The ones headed by ex-Monsanto executives?
King of the Retardicans!
