So when you see &#8216;Iowa swept&#8217; or &#8216;Trump swept Iowa,&#8217; no,\u2064 he \u200bdid not. He swept 5% of the population.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only 13% of registered Republicans\u200c in the state of Iowa \u2014 13% of the party \u2014 showed \u2062up for that. And only three times in\u200c the past eight Republican caucuses have they accurately predicted the candidate,&#8221; Haines continued. &#8220;So \u200dalthough I\u2063 am a proud Iowan,\u200b and we \u200dlove our caucus time because \u200bit makes you feel seen&#8230; we love the caucuses. \u2062We didn&#8217;t earn it, we just get it historically. It&#8217;s important to know those numbers when you&#8217;re reading headlines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later\u200b in the discussion, co-host Sunny Hostin challenged Haines&#8217; perspective, arguing that the\u2062 results were a fair representation of the state\u200b as a whole. Hostin \u200dpointed out that Trump \u200bhad won 98 out of 99 counties \u200band \u200blost the\u200b last one by just \u2063one vote. She\u2062 questioned how that could\u2063 not be considered representative of the state&#8217;s overall voting tendencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Staunchly \u200bracist Sunny\u2063 Hostin says she&#8217;s &#8220;disgusted&#8221; with Iowa for supporting Trump.
