Vermont won only because of the dem monkeywrenchers.

Yeah, I know. I'm not sure why governments even run primary elections in the first place. The parties are private entities and the selection of their desired candidates should be conducted by the parties themselves either by caucus or some other method that doesn't include the government getting involved.

But that's just my opinion.

[Cobra64]

Yup.

She “Suspended”, not ended. She will still be lurking in the high grass, waiting to strike. Don’t trust her, one bit.

How do the measure “major”. She won nothing except DC.

As long as political parties (Which in reality are private organizations!) ask the state to pay for primaries you will see these ridiculous open primaries. The advantage for the party is they get the taxpayer to pay for the candidate selection process. Additionally, it gives the parties a chance to sabotage the other through crossover voting.

Bingo! With Nikki bailing out, Republicans in remaining primary states should implement Operation Chaos 2024 and vote for Phillips in the Dim primary.

Now any legal lawfare is directly going against the official POTUS candidate. He’s one step away and everyone knows he is more likely than not going to win, outside fraud or assassination.

We’ll see how much of a spine these lawfare traitors have going forward. If I were them, I wouldn’t be feeling too comfortable right now. You attempted to take out the king...and missed, bad move. If you were going to try and put him in prison you should have already succeeded. Too late. I imagine the lawfare was supposed to put people off - being indicted, mugshot’d, having ‘criminal charges’ against him was supposed to avoid this from happening.

Oops. It’s like a Moby Dick novel - their hatred and hubris has left them exposed.

[Reily]

All true but I don’t particularly like it.

That’s why I prefer conventions or caucuses. A private organization doing private organizational things! Not making the public pay for it! The party at least gets to pick a standard bearer that more or less represents a consensus of the party without outside interference.
