Days before the Iowa caucuses ...
Trump Rally, Drake University IOWA, JANUARY 30 20204D Chess, Presidential Trolling, Or Maybe His Alzheimer's-Riddled Brain Has Thrown His Psyche Back To A Time He Called Himself A Democrat (Yes, We'd Rather Forget Too)

"They're a bunch of losers, if I was a Democrat I'd be polling seventy-percent" he snarked. His crowd chuckes. "No, really. Think of it, not only -- not only will we beat them in November, we'd beat them in their own primaries. It's a joke."
"Be nice. Be nice. Have we got any Democrats in the room? Don't be shy." He swirls his prawn-like fingers around the audience. A few hands raised. "See? Probably Bernie supporters. Right? Am I right?"
"How about this -- caucus for me, Donald J. Trump," he smirks. "Look -- we're probably going to win the Republican caucus, right? I mean, I hope so."
"Any Democrats in the room -- let's make a pledge. 'I pledge to caucus for the Democratic nomination, Donald J. Trump!'"
"You know what -- maybe a few of you can register as a Democrat for a week too. I give you permission, OK? I said it's OK. Register as a Democrat and vote for Trump!"
"Let's see what happens."
