[quoteCOLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump continued his march toward the GOP nomination on Saturday, winning caucuses in Idaho and Missouri and sweeping the delegate haul at a party convention in Michigan.
Trump earned every delegate at stake on Saturday, bringing his count to 244 compared to 24 for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. A candidate needs to secure 1,215 delegates to clinch the Republican nomination.
The next event on the Republican calendar is Sunday in the District of Columbia. Two days later is Super Tuesday, when 16 states will hold primaries on what will be the largest day of voting of the year outside of the November election. Trump is on track to lock up the nomination days later. ][/quote]

I’m personally still rooting for Nikki. I dread to think another Trump term, but if he’s the only option to avoid another Democrat administration right now, then so be it. I don’t think Biden stands a chance, though. By desperately trying to appease everyone, he’s alienating everyone.

And now look at how many new stories will come out about how dangerous it is to let the voters who would vote for him have that choice…as they cry for the demise of democracy…

I think the primaries show the clear problem with the winner take all.

Totally agree. There is no good reason to allocate votes that way, it disenfranchises so many voters by wiping out selections. And the Electoral College has outlived is function as well. We have the capacity to count all votes and the popular vote should be determinate.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 9:31 pm I think the primaries show the clear problem with the winner take all.
