Donald Trump Gets Exposed On Disastrous Primary Night [View all]

Donald Trump and Joe Biden have clinched their respective party nominations. There is nothing contested in the remaining state primary elections. Each of these elections should have been ho-hum affairs, but that is not what happened. President Biden held up his end of the deal by romping through the primaries.

The media has continued to build the narrative that Biden is in trouble with segments of the Democratic Party specifically due to the situation in Gaza, but just 10% of Democratic primary voters voted against President Biden in Illinois, Kansas, and Ohio. Those percentages are what should be expected for a presumptive party nominee. In contrast, 20%-25% of Republican primary voters voted against Donald Trump in Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Kansas.

In Arizona, President Biden got 90% of the vote in the Democratic primary, while Donald Trump got 76% of the vote in the Republican primary. Nikki Haley ended her presidential campaign, and she is still pulling 20% or more of the Republican primary vote. It is clear that the Haley vote is an anti-Trump protest vote within the Republican Party.

It was just a few weeks ago, that the corporate media was telling anyone who would listen that President Biden was in trouble with Democratic voters. The media had one thing right. There is a presidential candidate who is in trouble with members of his own party, but it isn’t Joe Biden. It’s Donald Trump.
