Liberals can’t decide between Trump being the end of the world or weak.

    Like, Trump is literally winning for the same reason he won last time: A clown car of Republican all running on a platform that is essentially the same as Trump.

    The only snowballs chance the Not Trumps have is if it was 1v1. Either Nikki or Ron needs to drop out immediately and endorse whoever is still in.

    But of course the Republican party is full of ghouls who have no self awareness or memory of recent history so here we are. Literal repeat of 2016. If they really didn’t want Trump they could have pulled the same rat fuckery that the Dems pulled on Bernie, but they won’t, cause they all want Trump, even when they say they don’t.

    I mean, the total vote count for all Republicans was a little less than 4k.

    Those are pretty weak ass numbers in general for a state-wide primary. Who gives a single fuck at that point if less than 4,000 people cared enough to turn out to vote? The whole thing is a huge joke.

      It was 20 below zero and the vote is purely performative at this point.

      What would voter turnout be like if it was -20 in an election for “who is gonna be the mascot for mcdonalds” and it was between ronald Mcdonald, somebody’s uncle Marc, and a salad?

    The levels of cope are outrageous.

    You know why there was low turnout, because it was 20 fucking degrees below zero and this is literally just a formality for something that’s been decided for months.

    There was low turnout because they all knew they could stay at home and not vote and he’d still get over 50% of the vote.
