Rob should sue his political strategists and the moron Twitter influencers who embarrassed him and his campaign.

[The Louiswu]

Stick a fork in him, he’s done

[The Unknown Republican]

I’m looking forward to seeing the raw numbers and comparing them to previous primaries to figure out roughly just how many Dems crossed over to vote for Nimrata.

[TChad]

Isn’t it obvious that Trump is the nominee?

[ClearCase_guy]

Pathetic loser.

Meatball said Trump was running a Biden Basement Strategy.
Trump has 4 Rallies in NH and may add a 5th.
Yet, Ronnie is running an AWOL Strategy in NH.

[TornadoAlley3]

If he suspends his campaign and Trump is jailed, he can get back in.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Dear Ron,
Salvage your dignity.
Get on the Trump Train.
Your year may be 2028.

[Gaffer]

“It’s a big comedown for somebody who a year ago looked like he was going to be the one to take on Trump,”

Ron's problem is that he believed Democrats and TDS'ers that he really was the alternative to Trump. He should have just demurred and deferred until 2028.

So now he's relegated to abandoning a state with less population than Dekalb and Fulton County Georgia

I don’t get the basement comment, but I did see his communications lead, Pushaw has resigned and leaving politics.

NH has a system where you have to register with any party about a week BEFORE any candidates register with the state. This would have happened in early October 2023. Either R or D, but about 40% of the electorate register as unaffiliated.

On primary day, those “unaffiliated voters” can participate in the primary on primary day, but can only request a ballot for 1 party....no double-dipping.

Should have waited till 28

[The Unknown Republican]

Interesting. I’ll then be curious to see what percentage of unaffiliated go to her. Do we know if there are an unusual number of unaffiliated this election year and what percentage of them normally vote R?

[anton]

Trump will win from jail.

[pepsi_junkie]

I think he’s bailing so Haley can have his 6% to put her within 10% of Trump. He took all that money and now he does what he’s told.

[odawg]

Reminds me of the time Giuliani, when he ran for president, regally ignored all primaries and placed all his hopes on winning Florida. He did not win Florida and it was all over.

“Pushaw has resigned and leaving politics.”

Only way that bitch stays out of US politics is if Trump is elected and KEEPS HER OUT.
