    The younger generation loves Trump. Almost everybody who came of voting age between 2021 and 2024 is voting Trump. Meanwhile, all the elderly Biden voters who died during that time of mask suffocation or vaccine complications, are off the rolls.

    Education is extremely important.

      Everyone does, it is a shame that so many pretend that they don't.

        Right now, with about half the vote in, Trump has about a 12 point lead on Haley and is the projected winner.

          Which is significantly better than Iowa. Let’s see what happens in SC.

            She's getting thumped by 15.

                She is projected to lose big in SC, but who knows... her speech tonight is truth summarized so nicely. You might like Trump, but you can't ignore this analysis:

                See 6:25:

                Link to video

                HALEY: With Donald Trump. Republicans have lost almost every competitive election. We lost the Senate. We lost the House. We lost the White House. We lost in 2018. We lost in 2020, and we lost in 2022. The worst-kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump.

                CROWD: Trump’s a loser! He’s a loser!

                HALEY: They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat. You can’t fix the mess if you don’t win an election. A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency. I defeat Biden handily. With Donald Trump, you have one bout of chaos after another. This court case, that controversy, this tweet, that senior moment. You can’t fix Joe Biden’s chaos with Republican chaos.

                  Sounds about right. Though I’m not convinced Trump’s loss in the general is so likely. I don’t doubt Haley fares better in the general though.

                    Not all results are in, but it looks like most of DeSantis' voters went with Haley.

                    Before he dropped out:

                    And tonight it looks like it's Trump 54% and Haley 44%.

                      I predict she loses by 15 in South Carolina. Nikki might make it to Super Tuesday, but I think she gets whipped pretty good across the board on that day.

                        I bet she loses by more than 15. Hard to stay in the race with a loss like than in her home state. Maybe she is playing the “what if Trump is jailed” card and staying in?

                        Either way, looks like almost all DeSantis voters went to Nikki. Not a good sign for Trump’s enthusiasm base come November. Could be wrong.

                          Good point.

                          OTOH, do you think DeSantis' base will vote for Sleepy Joe, or just resign themselves to another 4 years of destroying democracy and sit it out.

                            Read the thread on the CNN exit interviews. Trump's vote was not just MAGA voters.

                              The funny thing about American elections is that for some reason they can't just have one election. There seems to be hundreds of them.

                              And apparently every single one of them tells us something vital about what's going to happen in November.

                              I was only joking

                                      I don't think I can face 4 years of Vivek.

                                      An Asian woman in the UK commented that he was like Rishi Sunak's boastful cousin that nobody could stand who totally monopolised family get-togethers.

                                          Guys, why are we even debating this? It’s over as far as the primaries go. The only questions remaining are:

                                          1. Will a viable independent option come forward?

                                          2. Will some type of shenanigans occur at either/both of the conventions?

                                          3. Will any of the legal cases wind up actually damaging either candidate? Georgia for Trump, and the Hunter trial for Biden. Not that Biden is in danger of jail, but enough could come out that the party decides they need somebody else.

                                          4. The physical threats to the candidates.

                                          The Brad
