That Segment of Republican "Never Trump" Voters

 

Here's an antidote to those headlines in our broken media screaming about the Malignant Loser's "crushing victories," and "domination" in the primaries: an analysis by the Associated Press indicates that a percentage of those voting would not support him in November as the  nominee:

"A small but substantial chunk of Republican primary and caucus voters say they would be so dissatisfied if Donald Trump became the party’s presidential nominee that they would not vote for him in November’s general election, according to AP VoteCast.

An analysis of the data shows that many of those voters were unlikely to vote for Trump, some even before this year, but it still points to potential problems for the former president as he looks to consolidate the nomination and pivot toward an expected rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.

According to AP VoteCast surveys of the first three head-to-head Republican contests, 2 in 10 Iowa voters, one-third of New Hampshire voters, and one-quarter of South Carolina voters would be so disappointed by Trump’s renomination that they would refuse to vote for him in the fall."  (our emphasis)

As sinking candidate Nikki Haley pointed out recently, the Malignant Loser -- the de facto head of the Republican / Forced Birth / Shooters party -- is being rejected by roughly 30 - 40 percent of the primary voters. It's clear from the AP's story that some of that percentage will simply not vote or vote for another candidate on the ballot. It remains to be seen how many of the disillusioned will return to the fold in November, and it's the Dems task to keep them from voting for the Malignant Loser.
