Wow, this guy makes a compelling case that even though Trump won with more votes than anyone ever got in a primary in South Carolina everybody voted for Nikki Haley.

Wait, that's dumb. But he did make a case that I think he didn't want to: Nikki Haley is the same as Joe Biden and appeals only to his voters.

Is Texas winner take all?

Texas is not winner take all.

https://www.270towin.com/2024-republican-nomination/texas-primary

“Delegates: 161
Allocation:
There are 47 statewide delegates and 114 congressional district delegates (3 per district).
In each case, winner take all where a candidate exceeds 50% of the vote.
Otherwise, allocation in each location depends on the number of candidates receiving 20% of the vote.”

“The Bulwark was founded in 2019 by Sarah Longwell, Charlie Sykes, and Bill Kristol. The idea, then and now, was to tell you what we think—with honesty and good faith.”

lol. The latest spin from Trump Hater Central.

I already knew what Kristol and Sykes were, but here’s the wiki bio for Sarah Longwell:

“Sarah Longwell is an American political strategist and publisher of the centrist news and opinion website The Bulwark. A member of the Republican Party, she is the founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, which spent millions of dollars to defeat President Trump in 2020.”

Trump won my NH town in 2016 and 2020.

In the 2024 primary, he won the town with 1150 votes - but Haley had 1008. I know a lot of those Republican Haley voters - and they are never, never, never going to vote for Trump in the Fall.

*******************

Why does your town have so many Republicans who are anti Trump malcontents?

I don’t understand these people......at all.

I did a lot of research on Nikki voters.

Only about a third of them are registered Republicans.

If you include Republican leaning Independents that is probably another third.

Most are women—and they tend to be prosperous older women.

You are most likely to find them in college towns or centers of government (like state capitals).

They may be fiscally conservative but they are squishy on social issues like abortion or illegal immigration or even crime since they live in communities with low crime and no significant number of illegal aliens.

In a state like NH there is no illegal alien problem, crime rates are low (Whitopia), the economy is good—so they do not connect to the issues that we are concerned about....

Two more comments on why the Nikki voters like the economy:

—They own homes that have appreciated in value and either have no mortgages or got the old low interest rate mortgages so their housing situation is solid.
—They have retirement accounts so they have done well with the recent runup in the stock market.

The old saying—”Where you sit determines where you stand.”

They like the status quo.

cgbg,

Thanks.

I’m unfamiliar with New England states.

If you actually look it, they are right.

Let be explain how to follow the science:

—You need to take the percent of people supporting Trump and divide that by Avogadro's number.

—Multiply the folks supporting Haley by the universal constant for the speed of light in a vacuum.

—Then subtract an undefined (climate change model) quantity for Trump while adding a RINO boost of 7% for Haley which can't be explained.

The discussion is over. Gore said so.

The numbers prove, and fact checkers agree, that Trump really isn't liked all that much.

He has an excellent chance of doing that it’s basically what does the Republican Party stand for now it’s morphed into the party of the working class now and GOO elites like your friends in New Hampshire probably long for the days go Romney or McCain.
After that poll came out Gen Z running about 50/50 between Biden and Trump it’s not so much Trump has to pick them up it’s they Biden has lost them

Attention Governor Kemp

We remember the 40,000 citizen affidavits of election fraud.

You ignored the evidence in Georgia.

Fortunately you don’t have to crawl over broken glass. You can do like the Dems will do and vote early and often from the comfort of your couch at home.

Geez! Nikki, despite all of her negatives, was the governor of that state. She was definitely going to get a good chunk of the vote.

She was the first candidate in decades to lose her home state, and that says more than the final numbers.
