Experts Say It Could Cost Him Big in Key State<\/h2>\n<p>Despite everything the left is throwing at him, Donald Trump continues to soar in the polls for the Republican nomination. But by snubbing one event in a key state, he might just have made a mess of things.<\/p>\n<p>The Iowa caucuses officially kick off primary season. In order for any candidate to have a chance to win, it is almost imperative that he or she has a strong showing in the Hawkeye State.<\/p>\n<p>However, in recent days, Trump doesn\u2019t seem to have done himself many favors there.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/strategists-trump-iowa-mistakes-aggravate-gop-voters-beyond-remedy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Examiner<\/a>, his first mistake was to <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/users\/realDonaldTrump\/statuses\/110690659780399869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bash<\/a> Iowa\u2019s conservative governor Kim Reynolds for staying neutral in the race. Given her popularity among Republican voters, many believe Trump\u2019s comments were unwise.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on Friday, all the key players in the Republican primary gathered in Des Moines for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-confronts-mike-pence-tanks-ukraine-us-cities-rot-receives-shocking-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Family Leadership Summit<\/a>, hosted by Tucker Carlson \u2014 all except Trump, that is.<\/p>\n<p>The Examiner noted that many evangelicals were in attendance at the forum, a demographic that Trump needs to win in order to stay on top. By failing to show up to this event, he risks appearing as if he doesn\u2019t care about the issues that matter to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-texas-democrat-is-running-as-a-champion-of-political-christians-she-pans-them-in-her-book\/\" title=\"A Texas Democrat Is Running as a Champion of Political Christians.
