Haley and others have been recruiting Party of Biden members to vote in the SC primary, and they did. Haley then claims that 40% of Republicans will not vote Trump in the general.
Politely: balderdash.
...“Haley dominated among South Carolina voters who… said that Democrat Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Roughly three-quarters of her supporters say Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020, and about 4 in 10 voted for Biden in that election,” the AP reports....
So here's the math:
They said 59% of her voters wouldn’t back Trump…41% would. So a little backdoor math. 41% X 39.5% = 16.1%. Add that to Trumps 59.9% and 75% would vote Trump in [General Election].
Haley is playing Paul Ryan here. Spoiler (really, "spoiled brat") who has no chance but intends to cost Trump some money with the ultimate goal of electing another Party of Biden President.
We'll see how that plays out.
Two theories floating on the net.
ReplyDeleteNimarata is staying in the race because until Trump becomes the nominee, he cannot access general election funds and he doesn't get the security briefings, not having the security clearance as the nominee.
Nimarata is staying in the race because should Trump suddenly die, she would be the default candidate, being the sole survivor of the selection process.
