Donald Trump Suffers Huge Vote Against Him in Pennsylvania Primary
D onald Trump suffered a blow in the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, as tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for him despite being the presumptive GOP nominee.
The former president won the primary race in the key swing state with 83.5 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.
However, Nikki Haley , who ended her campaign for the White House after Super Tuesday in March, still received 16.5 percent of the vote, equating to more than 155,000 ballots.
Trump has dominated the Republican primary, and won enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination in March after victories in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state.
However, there have been signs that Trump is still struggling to garner support from more moderate and independent voters who could be key in the general election against President Joe Biden , especially in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
maybe the tide is turning
hopefully under toad drags him out to sea
He still has the nomination
I wish one of these reporters would ask him why 155,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania didnt vote for him, but most of them dont have the nerve.
Perhaps the reporters noted that there are better people out there, just like in Michigan where Biden didn't get over 15% of Democrats' votes in the primary.
So do you also sympathize with the Palestinians ?
I have little sympathy for folks living, working, playing, and praying with terrorists.
Rightly so!
And now, if only people will start to come to their senses regarding Biden.
Perhaps Michigan is a start.
This is just stupid. Trump or Biden will be the next PotUS. One can vote for anyone they want, but in the end either Biden or Trump will be the PotUS.
Your notion of 'coming to their senses' is to vote for someone other than Trump or Biden (or to not vote at all). Doing so may make one feel good, but it does nothing whatsoever to determine which of those two will be the PotUS. Unless one is mentally incapable of differentiating between Biden and Trump in terms of what is best for the nation given only those two choices, a responsible voter will help ensure that we make the best choice: Biden or Trump.
It is bullshit for anyone to imply that there is no difference between Biden and Trump in terms of net bad (or good) to this nation. They are NOT by any stretch of the imagination equivalent. Thus every adult with a functioning brain can determine which of the two would be better to serve as PotUS.
Seems to me the choice is obvious. Trump is by far the worst nominee ever put forward by a major party. It is almost surreal that the GOP is actually going to nominate this scoundrel. Almost anyone would be better than him. Biden is clearly substantially better than Trump for this nation.
Hey, no need to justify your support for Biden to me!
really, well gee, thanx for letting us know
You are welcome!
But it wasn't directed at you, unless you are voting for Biden, too.
well of course I'm a Trumpster all the way Tex !
it all makes sense now ...
"Biden is clearly substantially better than Trump for this nation."
Absolutely not. Biden is corrupt and crooked.
I would have preferred DeSantis, but ya gotta go with what ya got.
the really sad thing is the very best defense I have seen for Biden is simply "He's not as bad as the other guy" as if that is something to proudly endorse about your candidate.
We know which one of the two he wants to be POTUS. That is kind of the point of this whole song and dance.
Your comment proves to me you don't bother to read my comments.
Anyone thinking I want Trump clearly hasn't comprehended my posts if they have read them.
you are fooling no one
Why would I be trying to fool anyone?
that doesn't even make any sense at all.
Are you speaking for another poster now?
I guess you are since he voted your comment up.
I guess it will never matter to either of you what the truth of the matter is.
Look Texan, I think everyone on this forum is savvy enough to understand that someone who will predictably argue the pro-Trump side of any issue and the anti-Biden side of any issue almost certainly views Trump as preferable to Biden.
If one was somewhat balanced in their criticism / defense of these two candidates then their claim that they will vote for neither would have some credibility. Especially if their comments were critical of both.
But when someone clearly illustrates with their comments a belief that one is substantially worse than the other, few will buy their claim (implied by a claim of voting for neither) that they do not care which of those two becomes the next PotUS.
Tex is justv saying Biden is Charles Manson, and Trump is Mr. Rodgers obviously, so don't vote for neither one, vote for Sonny Bono
I am not responsible for what folks foolishly believe as I have no control over what they believe or think.
I have been quite clear to you and everyone else that I personally won't be voting for Trump or Biden.
Do with that what you will, it simply can not be any plainer or simpler to understand and therefore isn't a me problem.
Why are you telling me to lie?
[✘]
Yes, my comment noted that (several times even). Repeating that which is already noted (and thus acknowledged) in my post is not a rebuttal.
You (of course) ignored the point I made (because you cannot possibly refute the logic):
So despite what you acknowledge reading, you still attempt to misrepresent my stance for some illogical reason. So be it.
What is the point of conversing with me if you discount what I tell you about myself?
An exercise in futility.
Please just stop it.
Some folks seem to believe it is important to people what they think of them
When someone pays my bills, they can rest assured I'll care what they think!
Until then, they can fly a kite.
we know what the truth is
Well, it sure would be nice to see that knowledge exhibited.
Yes, yes we do.
you are not part of this we
It is almost like there is an expectation you have to convince people that you are telling the truth about your stance while at the same time expecting you to believe their claim about being non partisan.
You can't make this stuff up.
No, I lack that kind of overactive imagination.
I repeatedly acknowledge your claim that you will not vote for neither. Your denial of this is a blatant lie.
Your comments, in aggregate, when comparing Biden with Trump are predominantly (almost exclusively) anti-Biden. In aggregate, your comments indicate that you have a substantially greater problem with Biden as PotUS than you do as Trump.
And yet I know what the truth is anyway.
Not going to let you misrepresent what I write nor allow you to call me a liar, sorry!
That's because you pay attention!
why should you, when you can misrepresent it yourself ?
If you could substantiate your claim, I would love to see it, but I don't think you can or will.
I have not seen him compare the two. What I have seen however is him state he wasn't going to vote for either and doesn't give a damn about who is worse.
Why is it so important to you to continue with your daily barrage of accusations and pretzel logic to try and get him to admit to something that obviously is not true? Do you think others are fooled by this nonsense? We all know what the truth is.
Some folks can not seem to grasp the concept of not comparing pigs if you aren't buying one
I have stated repeatedly that you claim you will not vote for Biden or Trump. Claiming I do not acknowledge this is a blatant lie.
Rebut my claim that your comments comparing Biden and Trump are predominantly (almost always) anti-Biden. Not possible.
My comment history shows that I am extremely anti-Trump (for very good reasons which I enumerate) and that Trump's negatives far surpass those of Biden's. Thus my comment history is consistent with my stated intention to use my vote in the most effective way I can against Trump.
You cannot correlate your comment history with your claim of not voting for either. And normally that would be fine. But given you are bad-mouthing everyone who votes for Biden or Trump, your glaring comment history discrepancy will remain front and center.

Sorry Tex, all we have here on yhis site, is our words typed, and sometimes by others hyped, but I myself believe not tat you are not going to vote for Trump. TiG has already stated why, why it is I cannot buy, that Trump is still not your man. You consistently are many times more critical of Biden , more so than Trump. In fact, to the point where I can't see you not voting for Trump, for no one defends someone to the extent so many here do, while stating they are not Trumpers. So we will have to agree to disagree, about your, imho, 'misrepresentation', of who you plan to vote for.
Either you don't read my posts or have grossly misinterpreted them.
i've read enough of your posts to state that i believe you will vote for Trump. No hard feelings, just my gut
[✘]
also useless when typed words misrepresent ones true intent, and stated respectfully Tex. I'm not going to change my thoughts about what I've already told you my thoughts are, as that would be a misrepresentation of what I have already just candidly and flat out just told you. We are all entitled to our own reading of persons we converse with here on this site. Again, i've stated it as non combatant Ly as i can Tex
Well said, except for the false part.
[✘]
Also, either i can read what you write and believe it, or i can't.
That's your choice but I won't let you misrepresent my words.
Again, this seems to be important to only you and you let several folks on the left get away with what you accuse him of. Makes one wonder why, or maybe most people have a pretty good idea already.
Partisanship and misplaced loyalty to Biden could possibly be explanations.
Why would someone care enough of what others thought to misrepresent their "true intent"?
Maybe some are accusing me of their own actions.
yes it is my choice, and i choose to believe what i believe due to words you have written. How is that misrepresenting those words ? As stated, only you can truly do that. You believe what you believe , and i'll believe what I believe, thats all.
I cannot say without being in their heads, and I in no way wish to do that. I can only candidly state my opine, and i do and will. Doesn't make much sense as to why that upsets you both, as I believe you are both free to state your opines as well.
Well, it is an ignorant conclusion to draw that I will vote for Trump or want him as President based on my words, which still have meanings.
What makes you want to vote for Biden?
well don't forget, i'm igknorantzrulz
Never with the constant reminders.
Doesn't make much sense as to why you think I am in any way upset.
Possible or maybe something a little more personal.
What makes you want to vote for Biden?
How can you accuse a fella of not meaning what he says and not saying what he means when it is plainly obvious?
The best logical reason I can come up with is that his favorite ice cream is chocolate chip and he doesn't have to worry about brain freeze.
How can someone miss Brandon doing it every day?
It's a real mystery!
Lots of folks voting for Trump and Biden but usually the "reason" given here is "He's not as bad as the other guy" as if that is a valid reason to throw your support to one of them.
this place is a hamster wheel of irrelevancies.
ie. trolling
Yes. Yes it is
Do you mean your seed or the site?
Yes.
Bloomberg released a poll today showing Trump winning Pennsylvania and six of the seven swing states, thanks to independents.
Imagine how well he'd be doing if Republicans supported him as mindlessly as Democrats do Biden. .
It IS hard to imagine someone that belongs in prison being president of the United States again.
That's literally the only chance Biden has at this point. Hoping the stigma of a conviction get enough voters to hold their nose and vote for Biden. Amazing how unpopular Biden and his policies are that is his only hope is a BS conviction by a partisan DA in New York..
Imagine people so blinded that they would choose to vote for a two times divorced cheating sexual assaulter/rapist, accused rapist, Lying weasel who owes $454 MILLION dollars for year after year LYING about his business's worth, had his own Charity SHUTDOWN for using the funds on himself, and now stands trial for paying off PORNSTAR and PLAYMATE while married with wife home with new child, to the tune of $280,000.00 while promoting fabricated stories about his opponents while Denigrating POW;S and GOLDSTAR PARENTS, after claiming he can sexually assault women buy grabbin them buy the pussy, after telling Megan Kelley she must have been on the wrag, while saying what a nice piece of ASS Ivanka turned out to be, all while threatening to leave NATO, wanted to shoot missiles at MEXICO, and have protesters SHOT, and Finally attempted to not leave office as he attempted to overthrow our system of peaceful transfer of power, and the few thousand other things clown has done that ive not the time to mention....
shows how terrible Biden is, doesn't it?
Imagine losing to Donald Trump. Democrats probably should have avoided nominating a mindless puppet of the far left fringe.
Actually what it does, is show how blinded Trumps cult truly is
and these people call themselves "Christians"
At this point trying to imprison Trump amounts to election interference.
Did you really write that? I would say something else but it would be classified as "taunting"
i might have covered it partially
One of the curious phenomena is people opining as if they are living in an alternate reality where Trump is a serious individual who has done nothing wrong and who only wants to go to work for the betterment of the American people.
of course thats all Trump wants to do, it's all about US
his statement is just....ironic?
Same can be said of [✘] supporters.
who are U kidding...?
And so did Joe Biden.........to uncommitted
I wouldn't read too much into this. Pennsylvania has a closed primary system so you must be registered in the party to vote for that party. As Trump has already garnered sufficient primary votes elsewhere to be the presumptive nominee for the party, this vote was not needed. Lets wait to see what the general brings.
That strikes me as far worse news for Trump than it would have been if some of those 155,000 were Democrats who voted in the Republican primary.
It's no worse than all those Democrats who voted 'uncommitted' against Biden. As of today it's all meaningless, doesn't count till Nov 6th.
New campaign ad for Trump dropped
"Four more years. Pause"
yawn
