To no one's surprise, Trump wins.

What happens to the #2, either Haley or DeSantis?

[Jolly]

54.6% for Trump. Looks like DeSantis edges out Haley.

DeSantis and Trump have similar policies on many issues. So, what does that say about Haley's candidacy?

[Jolly]

Watch out, Haley may edge DeSantis. Trump is now 55%.

Meanwhile, in the nation's capitol, The Resident drops to 33%...

The bad news for Trump is that Vivek is now endorsing him.

[George K]

Vivek was always running for VEEP.

I wonder what the weasel would have done after the last election if Trump had asked him to intervene as he allegedly did Pence.

[Jolly]

Non sequitur.

@Doctor-Phibes he probably would have done as Pence did. A different question is, what would have happened if the VP refuses to certify? The answer is a little more confusion on the way to the inevitable President Biden.

Asa Hutchinson is out.
(Did you remember that he was still in the campaign up until the Iowa caucus?)

LOL

Of course it's racism. That's why they call this the Presidential RACE, amirite

You know, it's funny the primaries aren't held nationwide on the same day. A few states influence who the nominee is. Anyway...the conventions might be interesting. Trump is really old, yet looks like a spring chicken next to Biden. Biden will not make it through a 2nd term, maybe he switches out Kamala for someone better when he inevitably wins then retires in 2026? And for the GOP, maybe Trump will be in legal trouble and have to play kingmaker at the convention...

I heard that last evening’s turnout was only 14% of eligible voters. Pretty dismal showing for all the $$$ spent on the exercise. The result is probably an indicator of very little.

Glad to see Ramaswamy wake up and throw in his towel. I guess in the end at least something good came out of all the hype and effort.
