Fun fact – I just checked CO's most current Presidential primary reports, and the difference between total Republican ballots cast and total Democratic ballots cast is very close to the number of Haley votes. That's gotta say something, right?
So are you saying that Trump and Biden start with comparable size bases, and where the Haley votes land come November is the difference?
Maybe not exactly, but it looked to me like a whole bunch of anti-Tr*ump votes, though I haven't checked closely enough to see how many Haley votes were from Rs or UAFs. Fairly sure Biden will win CO in the general just based on prevailing CO demographics.
Do Normie Republicans Even Exist? Maybe. Deep fissures in the GOP, anyway.
It looks like Haley is getting 25-30% of the Republican vote, which must be a protest vote against Donald Trump. Trump can't lose those votes; they either stay home or vote for Biden depending on how pissed they are. Staying home would be great, as then they wouldn't be voting for Republican candidates up and down the ballot.
If Haley really believed in anti-Trump, she should do a third Party write-in and screw over the Magas once and for all.
My guess is that there will a 10 percent anti-Maga, anti-Trump and anti-Republican shift in November. This is based on the vile nature of Trump, and the Christo-Fascist anti-women policies.
Turnout for the primary is about 35%.
Turnout for the general election in November is likely to be somewhere around 70%.
Lots of differences in the two elections beyond the Haley voters.
Just to be clear, I was only using the word "difference" as a my-level math term. Total R voters minus total D voters produces a difference about equal to the number of Haley voters.
Well it looks like a rematch between the The Orange Man and the Feeble Feckless Fossile.
What a country.
You missed one little difference. If you squint you will notice that…
One of the candidates is a normal human being who cares about democracy and traditional values.
The other candidate is a fascist authoritarian with Russian kompromat who vows retribution and destruction of the US government.
Hmmm. Which one is which? It is so hard to figure it out.

I see Mitch did the Repug duck-step this morning and got in line. Somewhere in America Elaine threw up a little in the back of her mouth. Maybe he and. Cruz can start a club where the passage through the golden doors is first having your wife publicly humiliated by the rapist?
Please tell me that McConnell at least did it with all the enthusiasm of the hostage reading the ransom note aloud on the video.
What I saw was a written statement read aloud. Reportedly Mitch hasn't spoken to Fat Donnie since J6.
In a real shocker (not), Moscow Mitch chooses party (of Trump) over country and principles.
It's all about the money.
As much as I dislike him, Moscow Mitch is one of the dwindling number of Republican senators still willing to help Ukraine.
But that will likely change in January when they will all be in lock step with JD Vance, Josh Hawley and rest of the Putin Caucus.
Precisely
The NY Times Editorial Board attempts to spell out in plain English the threat that Trump represents to the nation and the world.
I've shared the editorial, and I strongly recommend reading it.
Someone hit a nerve! Space lasers?? #uck off!!!
These cretins should be nowhere near institutional levels of power.
Marge, you aren’t fooling anyone. You have options. You’re just scared of being on the receiving end of the wrath of #HoBo #MotionToVacate
How did that ‘No’ vote work out for ya?
