Well, their efforts really paid off: the election was called for Trump THREE minutes after the polls closed rather than the expected ONE minute.

Let's see if they can extend that out to 5 and a half minutes in any particular state on Super Tuesday.

Trump only won by 20 points and was projected to win by a lot more, so the Dem voters did have some impact...not nearly enough to matter though.

Dems voting for Pubs in Primaries will not stop Trump from becoming the Pub nominee, so its a waste of their time.

Why is that? The GOP does not do it. Why is it a DEM staple?
I've begun to think of them as 'fundamentalists" - the democrats, that is.
By any means necessary. Like the hill tribes in Afghanistan, they are in it for the long haul, whatever they have to do, whatever dirty tricks and shenanigans they need to engage in, because they know what's best for you, and if you don't agree with them, you are a right-wing lunatic.
That's part of 'why I think that.'

That said, as a life-long conservative, I don't have much good to say abou the weak republicans either.

out of 3.2 million registered GOP members only 700k showed up to vote. Between 22 and 25%. He cannot get his supposed base out (35%).
Haley will be the last standing once the convictions start coming.

Blame the State. SC allows you to vote in any primary for any party. Seems a lot of GOP folks did that in 2020 primary's where allowed. Based on your complaint even less GOP members voted for Trump.

Still better than the number that voted in the Dem primary. Biden won it with 115,000 voted. I'm not sure where you got the 700K number, but does it include absentee ballots and early in person voting ballots? There's two weeks of early voting before each primary (4 weeks total)

Oh, no one needs to take away votes from Biden, Biden has that under control for himself!

That is the intent of all the garbage stuff we are seeing in the country, so yes, that is a part of it.

I am sure some Republicans stayed home, as let's face it, Haley had 0% chance of getting anywhere. It was done before it started! And, doesn't matter whether she is "standing" or in the back of her SUV with her feet in the air, she will not be the choice of the RNC, and that is all that will matter in the end!

It has always been that way, when it is such a sure win, a lot of people don't see the need to go out and vote, and let's face it, they know Haley better than others, so they knew for a fact that she was going nowhere!

Thanks for providing that demonstration of the point I was making and for doing it so succinctly.

Yet your plan still didn't work, Haley lost.
