So much for the huge desanctimonious support and turnout that various people and places were talking about, to try to embarass Trump and show he didn't really have that much support in Florida

Nikki got more than 3X as many votes as De Santis ... and he’s the Governor of the State!!

Intelligent people do not vote for candidates that have dropped out.

The Unenrolled-Dems are the untold story of the primaries so far. Uninterested, perhaps disgusted, with their own ‘Rat primary, in droves they are taking Republican ballots, and tainting the results.

Thus, the need for closed primaries everywhere.

That’s pretty sad that Haley got more votes than DeSantis in his own state. I felt he was wrong to run against Trump, but even against the likes of Haley, he lost out. Florida has closed primaries. Who are the dummies in Florida that voted for her?

Likely nevertrumpers or uninformed voters, maybe some dems that re-registered as republicans, since there wasn’t a democrat presidential primary for Florida.

desanctus has burned a lot of bridges in Florida, by running for president just after being re-elected governor, then he finished the job by exposing himself for how bad his character was, and for being a uniparty rino puppet

Multiple media outlets and desantis supporters said desantis was going to have a big turnout that would show his continued support in Florida

Yep, desanctus has so much continued support in Florida....

I didn’t know DeSantis was running in the Florida primary, seems most voters in the state is a lot smarter than you are eh?

I voted for DeSantis even though he has dropped out. I will vote for Trump in the general election. But I don’t think he’s the best candidate we have in the Republican Party. It’s not 2016 anymore. I’m willing to look at a lot of people over Trump. Only a few folks are unacceptable to me. Nikki Haley is a Democrat who’s bought out by the MIC.

THAT 81% IS BECAUSE THESE LEFTIST DEMOCRAT MORONS HAVE PUSHED MILLIONS OF HONEST CITIZENS OVER THE EDGE WITH THIS INSANE EFFORT TO DESTROY TRUMP. THEY KNOW THAT DRAINING THE DC SWAMP WILL BE THE END OF THEIR PLAN TO TURN US INTO THE WESTERN BRANCH OF THE CCP!

Yep, shows the nevertrumpers constitutes a bigger part of the republican party, than the gaslighting, propaganda spewing, desantis supporters

Look at what’s happening with a sizable number of Trump supporters, it’s not about advancing a conservative agenda, it’s about advancing Trump, it’s cult like in nature.

DeSantis is a perfect example, the most effective conservative governor in a large swing state has gone from conservative hero to scum all for the crime of challenging Trump.

Every stupid decision by Trump is defended and every criticism is attacked and the person demonized.

Trump got 80% of the vote after all other candidates had dropped out meaning 20% of Republicans don’t want Trump, that may sound like no big deal but in swing states that will be close in November that could easily swing the election

Trump says it best. They aren't after him, they're after US.

What’s the goal, get Trump elected come November or at least that should be the goal.

A portion of the 20% that didn’t vote in the Republican Primary for Trump yesterday will vote for him in November, but another portion will not vote for him, how big that portion is could easily determine the outcome of the election.

In the 5-7 states that decide Presidential elections, a 2-3% swing in the vote against Trump will decide the election.

I think the results yesterday should be a wakeup call that come November, Republicans not showing up or voting against Trump is a real possibility.
