GET.A.LIFE.

He’s got a life just not what you think it should be.
Ever human is different, some more than others. The
only true item for all is we are ‘born to die’. jmo

[nwrep]

Amen.

[nwrep]

Fact check: TRUE.

[nwrep]

Reagan came close.

[circlecity]

Lots of Trump supporters didnt bother to turn out because he already has the nomination secured.

TDS is a disease. So I am cutting you slack.

Fact: The Michigan primary is indeed an open primary. In this type of primary election, voters are not required to register with a specific party. Instead, they can vote for whichever candidate they choose, regardless of their political affiliation. So, whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or an independent voter, you have the freedom to participate in Michigan’s primary and cast your ballot for the candidate of your preference12.

Were there no downballot offices in your primary? Local is more important than national candidates.

“Because Biden got 40,000 more votes than Trump in Wisconsin. Trump needs to win over the Haley voters by a wide margin, or Biden wins Wisconsin.”

WHAT Haley voters? The ones in the phone booth?

How much of the anti-Trump vote is from Democrats voting in the Republican primary?

[deport]

the only person in history to win the Republican nomination
for President three times in a row.

If he looses again will that be history also?

[9YearLurker]

Oh, jeez. Only three-quarters of the primary vote. Whatever will he do?

[kiryandil]

So appears that you spend all day cruising the web for TDS crapola?

He's a NeverTrumping Democrat Party operative on Free Republic.

Of those motivated to turn out, 20% was for someone else.

100% of those motivated to cast a protest ballot against Trump showed up.

Less than 100% of those who will ultimately vote for him in November showed up, which is understandable in a meaningless primary.

Was this erosion in states that have Open Primaries, where Dims can vote the Pub ticket?

A whole lot of campaigns are run for publicity and marketing of a personality, to create the wealth and power that comes from the resulting celebrity and positions on TV or in think tanks and on boards, not to win, a few just seem to like the lifestyle and attention of getting to run every 4 years, hotels, meals, travel, adulation, new customers for your newsletters and columns.

When everything is paid for by fans, some take it, a lot of climbers would love to be able to use millions of free dollars to build a public persona and create a media future for themselves.

based on the contents of the article...
what a crap headline.

[dforest]

No they didn’t. Zeepers and TDS sufferers are big on Newsweak. LOL

[cgbg]

I don’t count stolen elections as “losses”.

[USAF1985]

I’ll second that. I too did not vote in a primary that was already decided...and I too am still voting for him.
