Dingell, of course, was referring to the 2012 and 2008 Iowa caucus victors, both of whom went on to not get the GOP nomination for their respective years. Former president George W. Bush won the Republican Iowa caucus<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in the years he won the presidency,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>2000 and 2004 (in the latter, Bush<span style="color: Red;">*</span>was unopposed).
The former representative, known for his sassy commentary on Twitter, also noted earlier in the evening, "The best thing about the Iowa Caucus is that it only happens once every four years."
