6. Only 2,000 people voted in DC.

The result is meaningless in the big picture. No one cared enough to even show up. I think that says that voters think the race is over more than that it's any kind of reflection on Trump.

Trump lost 15 primaries in 2016 and ended up with less than half of the total overall vote, even though it was pretty much known after Super Tuesday that he was going to waltz to the nomination. All of the same things were said then, and it clearly didn't matter. People are putting way too much emphasis on individual races and missing the big picture. The GOP race was over before it even started.

"TSF will be the nominee but his election in November is highly questionable." sop Mar 5 #9

Yup..such a stark difference in the media reporting...after the last 4 primaries the story was tfg wins primaries PortTack Mar 5 #57

Plus he is out of campaign funds INdemo Mar 5 #26

And his small-time donors are tapped out. His big-time donors only bet on a sure thing. no_hypocrisy Mar 5 #28

Are you counting between the RNC and Nov 5? ancianita Mar 5 #45

I definitely agree markodochartaigh Mar 5 #16

I agree, very strongly agree, with everything you just said redqueen Mar 5 #21

Any other republican candidate would beat president Biden, I strongly disagree PortTack Mar 5 #60

It'll be Romney/Haley in a stunning loss to Biden/Harris. marble falls Mar 5 #22

Thanks! redqueen Mar 5 #23

What? DownriverDem Mar 5 #36

The only way he's not the nominee is if he makes a deal to endorse a different candidate in wiggs Mar 5 #24

This makes a lot of sense ... the hard part is convincing Chump FakeNoose Mar 5 #54

yep good questions. Add to it the question that even if he does win, a 'self-pardon' is questionable. nt wiggs Mar 5 #63

Unless he'd dead ITAL Mar 5 #25

Been saying that for ages malaise Mar 5 #27

Unless his cholesterol catches up with him, he will be the nominee. 100%. We need to accept that. themaguffin Mar 5 #32

I will be elated if he is redqueen Mar 5 #35

He won't be ousted. Demsrule86 Mar 5 #41

I think that it's possible he won't be the nominee Renew Deal Mar 5 #33

Huh? DownriverDem Mar 5 #34

His base doesn't care about 91 indictments and a half billion dollars in judgments. progressoid Mar 5 #37

He will...too late for someone else and his hardcore supporters are big primary voters. Demsrule86 Mar 5 #39

I think it's possible he will lose the nomination William Seger Mar 5 #40

If they pull the rug out from under Trump at this point... jcgoldie Mar 5 #42

Drumpf is their candidate, period lonely bird Mar 5 #43

Don't give up hope for a physical or mental breakdown before then William Seger Mar 5 #49

Now, that would be something else lonely bird Mar 5 #58

Actually, the best scenario might be if they nominated him anyway William Seger Mar 5 #62

Not sure I agree berksdem Mar 5 #50

I think you may be correct. n/t LuckyCharms Mar 5 #51

If it's not it only because he's dead TexasDem69 Mar 5 #52

You could be right. I've been having the same feeling. MineralMan Mar 5 #53

Huh? trump has some 243 delegates to Haley's 43. And that's before Super Tuesday results... brush Mar 5 #55

Trump not being the candidate doesn't mean Haley will be the nominee... liberalla Mar 5 #59

I hope that happens, but if it doesn't, he'll be the nominee. brush Mar 5 #61

Zero chance he's not the nominee awesomerwb1 Mar 5 #56

That one didn't age quite so well! Polybius Mar 7 #65

Lol did you honestly think I meant he wouldn't win the most delegates? redqueen Mar 7 #66

I was referring to Haley dropping out Polybius Mar 7 #67

My suspicion about this is not based on Haley redqueen Mar 7 #68
