Looking with disbelief at the insane brain farts posted here by Trump supporters.Meanwhile, the God-made Trump campaign has lost its spark as the primaries roll on.
Look at the Pennsylvania results.
The Keystone State Is KeyIn yesterday’s primary Biden delivered and put up big numbers, but Trump looked weaker and vulnerable
They have closed primaries. Only registered party members can vote.
This is an important victory for the President, who has invested heavily in Pennsylvania already, focusing especially on the threat Trump poses to democracy. It bears noting that Biden faced an organized protest vote, centered around U.S. policy toward Israel and Gaza, called “Abandon Biden.” But that effort failed to deliver numbers significant enough to dent Biden’s commanding win.
By comparison, Trump fared more poorly in Pennsylvania despite campaigning there recently. He won 83.5 percent of the vote—nearly ten percent less than Biden—with 16.5 percent voting for Nikki Haley. That’s a bit more than 1 in 7 GOP primary voters casting a protest vote against Trump.
Haley received nearly 156K votes, despite having dropped out of the race in early March. The numbers show lingering doubts over Trump among Republican voters in Pennsylvania.
On turnout, Biden put up some impressive numbers, especially for an incumbent with no significant opposition. With over 920,000 votes tabulated in his column, he smashed the turnout totals of the last two Democratic presidential incumbents, Barack Obama in 2012 and Bill Clinton in 1996:
Obama Vote 2012 Total: 616,102
Clinton Vote 1996 Total: 666,486
(The population of Pennsylvania did not grow by nearly the same percentage in this time, rising from 12.1 million in 1996 to around 12.9 million today.)
Trump only received around 786,000 votes from his party’s electorate yesterday, and overall GOP turnout was 46,000 lower than Democratic turnout. Both sides had important contested House primaries, so it doesn’t appear that either side had any less reason to turn out to vote.
Whenever vote counts come in, especially in the swing states, I skim the top line figures but then go straight for the breakdowns in those swingy, suburban counties outside of the major cities. For Pennsylvania, it’s the counties outside Philly that matter the most. It’s places like these where the 2024 election will be won or lost.
The good news is, Trump was weakest in those suburban counties yesterday, which are must-wins for his campaign, sometimes losing one in four GOP voters.
These are disastrous numbers for Trump if they hold true in November. Suburban women in particular came out strongly against Trump in 2020 after going for him in 2016. If Trump can’t win those voters back, he will have a steep uphill climb to make up the difference elsewhere.
Women will save America, again. And the insane Trump Super Supporters claim it is Biden and not Trump who has tons of stories showing he is a pedophile. Always projection with Republicans.
