More alarming Republican primary voting results for Donald Trump
Donald Trump is facing far more immediate problems than his weak 2024 election prospects. For one thing he’s becoming more crippled by dementia by the day. For another thing, he’s broke. And he’s also three weeks away from the start of his first criminal trial.
The notion of Trump making it to the election is sort of laughable. But even if he does, he’s facing real electoral trouble. In Tuesday’s Florida Republican primary, Trump ran unopposed. Yet about fifteen percent of the vote still went to Nikki Haley, who dropped out weeks ago:
The results of the Florida GOP primary should terrify Trump and the GOP.
Florida is a closed primary state. Nikki Haley is getting 15% of the vote.

It’s not that Haley is enduringly popular or anything. In fact Republican voters don’t seem to like her much at all. But she was the last Republican candidate standing other than Trump. So the Republican voters who are dead set against Trump being the nominee are voting for Haley – who’s no longer a candidate – in protest of Trump.
These people are indeed not going to vote for Trump in November, even if he is still somehow a free man and still able to function outside of an assisted living facility. Trump’s election prospects are about as ugly as all his other prospects.
