I have been quite disgusted with NY Times and Washington Post for describing Trump as successful and dominant.
They Jon Stewart playing the both sides do it bullshit.
One of them is an incumbent with no party supported opponent... so yeah... I can see why they would say this. When you have no opponent that spent any money on a campaign and you are the incumbent you should be able to do better than 80%... just sayin'.
but hey, you can pretend the media hates democrats for a moment if you squint real hard and forget all recent history you may even be able to convince yourself.
The Republicans think Trump is the incumbent. He is basically unchallenged. The Koch Brother has abandoned her campaign, the money will begin to dry up.

Trump is ALSO seen as the incumbent and he refers to himself as such.
Trump has the full support of pretty near 100% of vocal Congress people in the GOP.
Trump has the RNC folded in behind him calling it in his favor.
Everyone on the GOP side is saying Hally is dead and has no chance.
If you still have 40% of the people REFUSING to vote for Trump given the above, what does that say Damo? Why are they not folding in even when they know their candidate cannot win?
The data coming out of exit polling suggests things are far more troubling for Trump as a very good percent of this 40% are Never Trumpers who will stay home or vote for Biden.
True, once they are past Super Tusday I think Haley will drop out as she'll lose too much support to continue. At that point if Trump only got 80% of the vote in a primary this would also be something to pay attention to.
It won't make me vote for Trump, but we vote our primary on Super Tuesday regardless.
The reality is Haley spent money in SC. Biden opponent really didn't. If the media was calling it a "huge loss" I could see where it came from. Of course the only place I've heard it from is Jarod. Because nobody in major media is really calling it that.

my prior post on this.
As Trump proclaims "The Party is Unified like Never Before" coming out of S.Carolina...
There is no denying that the party is NOT "unified" and NOT consolidating behind Trump.
He has the core Magat vote locked up but both he and Joe Biden are running Incumbent Primary campaigns and only Biden is performance is anywhere near what you would expect of an incumbent campaign, with support numbers in the 90%+ range. if Biden was getting 55% +/- there is no doubt he would have to step down.
Trump's consistent 55%+/- 5% range is simply terrible for anyone running as the Incumbent, especially one who has the entire party apparatus behind him and pretty much every vocal, prominent GOP Congress person behind him.
There is no way the party voters should not have folded in behind him and for him to not be getting Biden like numbers when it is so clear he WILL be the candidate and thus staying with his primary opponents is futile. So what that 45% is showing is that even when they know they cannot win, they still will not support Trump.
Instead what we see is a near locked 45% +/- 5% who are never Trumpers within the Republi'can' party.
59% of Haley voters have said they would never vote Trump and would vote Biden, if Trump is the candidate. That represents about 24% of all Republi'cans' and one year ago a NYT/Siena Poll said 25% were Never Trumpers a year ago, which means that number is consistent and locked.
Both incumbents, both have opponents.

Trump got over 3.5 times as many SC voters than Biden did.

You mean a defeat for Haley since Biden and trump weren't running against each other.

Tell yourself that but the fact is Biden turned out less than 1/3 the number of voters as Trump did. That bodes poorly for him in the general election.
The Regime runs the election apparatus U moronic fuck.
What the people think or want is long irrelevant.
CHOP! CHOP!
Both of them face party discontent. Stupid to pretend it's only the other guy. And true, Biden is the incumbent with no opponent to speak of but he's also not yet started campaigning while Trump has been blabbing his head off for months.
