Interesting article, it ranks who got the highest number of votes in GOP Senate primaries, it’s meaningless of course but check it out.

Cornholle is #1, and guess who’s #2

Uberdouche in Illinois! Followed by Lamar! and the guy we should have nominated in Illinois, Doug Truax. With Turban’s weak polling numbers, Truax might have been able to win.

Makes me think we should find 150,000 or conservatives to move to Vermont and take it over. Better yet, Hawaii.

It’s meaningless, though, since obviously a low-population state will have fewer actual voters choosing the nominee vs. a large one.

The bigger issue is candidates winning the nomination with less than 50% of the vote, which is unrepresentative of the majority party preference, and open primaries, where those of the opposition choose the nominee. Both need to end.
