Nikki Haley just got ~ 22% of the vote in Indiana in the Republican Primary despite dropping out 2 months ago

"Every now and then, it's easy to get lost and feel hopeless. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless because fascism thrives and spreads off loneliness, fear, and the feeling of being helpless.

Maga is extremely loud, but THEY ARE THE MINORITY. Something important to remember is that social media is a smoke screen. Polls are not conducive to reality.

We like to think Trump has complete control over the right, but this primary has shown that just isn't the case. Each primary, we've seen a good fraction of Republicans vote for Nikki. Throw in the fact she just got over 20% of the vote in Indiana last night despite dropping out 2 months ago is absolutely embarrassing for trumps campaign and his chances at winning this election.

Republicans have ****ed themselves so hard because now they can't win a primary without trumps approval but they can't win a general election with him. Which is evident by how many Trump back candidates lost in the midterms.

Those "rinos," centrists, independents. Trump can't win without them, and so far through this primary, they've shown they aren't voting for him.

There's no way Trump wins on merit. If he gets back into office, it'll be because of some nefarious operation and external circumstances. Like getting Scotus involved somehow. Jan 6th was a dry run. We will be tested again. We must be vigilant."

BREAKING: Former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has announced he will not vote for Donald Trump. Prominent Republicans are abandoning Trump left and right.

I've always liked Ryan--not always his politics, but he's a straight shooter.

It might as well been a dead man getting 22%! The winner has nothing to cheer about.

On the other hand, That makes Nikki the frontrunner for Trump's VP - IF she would take the job.

Wouldn't Trump want someone a little more malleable?

 

[LetsGoBrandon]

I guess he's just being modest.

No it's more that he does not sweat the small stuff. He's not sitting back and thinking: "Oh ****! Haley got 22% of the primary vote in Indiana!"

No, I think Nikki blew up her chances when she did not know when the quit the primary race. She should have quit when Desantis did. Instead she played Bagdad Bob for a couple more primaries.

He wants that 22% onboard.

A Haley endorsement might not mean that much. Folks know just who Trump is.

Yes, and that is why he is ahead in the polls. Haley may add some folks that otherwise might not vote. Biden is bleeding votes, his party is split over Israel and getting worse.

Seriously? Trump claims (outside of court) that he never had an affair. Inside the courtroom, the defense is taking a completely different tact.

The jury is required to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They are on their way.

An affair with a Porn star is not a crime. What relevance does she have to the charges? An NDA is not a crime either.

So he's going to support a democrat? That bullshit. You can't really be a republican, serve the republican voter and vote for Biden. Nyone who says otherwise is a liar or a fool. A republican is a republican based on the differences between the two parties. If you are a republican you vote republican policies..

Good point.

Unless of course you care enough about the Republican party and traditional conservative values that you realize Trump and Trumpism is destroying it. Trump needs to be removed like a malignant cancer so the Republican party can rid itself of the MAGA faction and return to their roots as a respected party. Paul Ryan , Liz Cheney, Geoff Duncan and others are true conservatives who love their party and their country and want to see it restored to the GOP it once was.

Yes, I know you contributed to the program.

Involuntary contribution$ aren't really 'contributions' now are they? Let's keep it real.

I once 'contributed' to a mugger in Brooklyn.

Looks like the "toss interracial marriage back to the states" person is the Republican gubernatorial nominee. That's sad.
