Trump and Carson, along with two other candidates running as political outsiders – Ted Cruz, a senator from Texas, and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina – currently account for around 60% of support among Iowa Republicans. Bush and the rest of the field, including Rand Paul, Scott Walker, and Marco Rubio – all one-time darlings of the political press – are floundering.
特朗普和卡尔森，以及其他两位作为政治局外人参选者——德克萨斯州参议员泰德·科鲁兹（Ted Cruz）和惠普公司前CEO卡莉·菲奥丽娜（Carly Fiorina）——目前赢得艾奥瓦州共和党支持率的60%左右。布什和其他人——包括兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）、斯科特·沃克尔（Scott Walker）和马克·卢比奥（Marco Rubio），他们都曾经是政治媒体的宠儿——形势惨淡。为了收复失地，一些人，特备是沃克尔，已经陷入了试图比特朗普更特朗普的陷阱。
