  1. Close to 2 to 1 Trump in Virginia, a liberal state. Seems he is dominant everywhere, and the head of the Senate campaign committee, Sen Steve Daines ofMontana, is coordinating with Trump to pick candidates for Senate. Didn’t they say Trump was finished?

  3. I think it’s interesting to see the results in those states with “open” primaries ( not require voters to be affiliated with a political party in order to vote for partisan candidates) Anyone can vote and therefore open to possible/likely manipulation.
    South Carolina was an open primary. Haley is former governor, had BIG $ donors like Koch brothers and Trump STILL won 60/40.

  4. The headlines blare … Nikki takes Vermont! Nikki takes Vermont!!! Nikki refuses to end her campaign!!! There’s still a glimmer of hope

    1. Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas was issuing press releases and doing interviews focusing on reminding everyone in Vermont that it was a pure open primary state, and they could vote in the Republican primary even if they were Democrats. I found it curious that she continuously used that example in her press, and didn’t mention that Republicans could vote in the Democrat primary.

      It’s almost like it was on purpose. 😀

        1. It’s almost like that dance-floor cameo, back in the day:
          “GottastoppaTrumpa! GottastoppaTrumpa! GottastoppaTrumpa!”

  5. Well, I checked in a few times during the evening, but knew I wouldn’t be seeing much in the way of settled results until this morning.

    There were 854 delegates at stake on Super Tuesday.

    Trump got 722 delegates or 84.5% and. Haley got 46 delegates or 5.4%. The other 11.1% were scattered among the ‘Also Ran’ candidates or maybe a few are held up in hand counting and will add another one or two to someone’s total.

    It takes 1,215 delegates to win the nomination. Including the other primaries so far, Trump has 995 delegates or
    about 82% of the delegates needed. Haley has 89 delegates or about 7% of the delegates needed.

    Haley will stay in the race until the convention. She is not expected to win the nomination by any stretch of the imagination. Her support comes from Never Trump GOPe Republicans and the Democrat party. The strategy is to bleed off as much of Trump’s campaign resources as possible in the primaries running against Haley so that Trump will have less money going into the general election.

    I don’t see Trump backing off the accelerator for any of the primaries. His rallies serve to generate support for the general election as much as they do for the primaries. I don’t think Haley can match Trump’s pace and she will burn out somewhere along the line. Oh well. She’ll be well compensated for playing her role and has the rest of her life to “spend more time with family”. Maybe someday she’ll take a shot at a Senate seat when Miss Lindsay steps down.

    1. She announced she’s dropping out.

      Haley is one of those good on paper candidates the donors love and the voters hate. She was not popular during her second term as governor of South Carolina and resigned to become an ambassador to the UN.

      Haley is more cooked than Jeb. Maybe she could carpet bag her way to New York or Jersey. That’s the only place a progressive Republican might have a chance.

      1. Yeah, I saw that later today after writing the above.

        . Well, she outfoxed me, Deb. I think the Uniparty consensus is there’s no denying Trump enough delegates AND he’s hardly had to spend much running against her.

        So much for the, “Maybe Nikki can pull enough votes from Trump to have a contested convention” plan.

  6. She is simply a UI. If they could get her nominated Puppet Joe ( who likely is refusing leave quietly) is replaced by puppet Nikki. In the meantime her continued presence prevents Republicans from participating in Democrat primaries , much as they have done. As well it distracts from Biden’s weakness and portrays division on the Republican’s side. Her funding will continue, at least for now. I wonder what surprises await us. I keep thinking Joe could be in more danger than Trump. If a “MAGA” supporter were to attempt or succeed in eliminating Joe , well you should be able to figure out how that would be spun.

    1. The Dem convention is going to be the thing to watch. On paper Joe will have enough delegates to be nominated, but the party backers are going to push awful hard to get him to step aside, because they know damn well that Trump will squash him beyond the margin of fraud this time.

  7. Wow! Trump has definitely locked it up. The Trump Party, that is. There is no Republican Party now.
    Biden needs to step aside. A middle aged moderate Dem would beat Trump. But it appears the USA is going to sleep walk into re-electing their worst President in history. God help the world!

    1. There are no Middle Aged Moderate Dems left. They were all run out of the party for being “right wingers” when they wouldn’t say men can give birth. Marco Rubio is a perfect example of this, thirty years ago he would have been a pro-life Democrat. Now the Dems won’t let you in if you don’t claim that abortion is health care.

      The Dems are suffering because they can’t deliver what the average voter really wants, a healthy economy with a decent cost of living.
