Michigan has a caucus and a primary on different days, and they both assign delegates. Yesterday, the Wolverine State held its primary, and like it or not, Trump pulled almost 70% of the vote.
While 16 Michigan delegates to the Republican National Convention were allocated based on the primary results, the majority—39—of the state’s 55 delegates will be awarded as a result of caucusing on March 2.
The main event will be in Grand Rapids, where former Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) will oversee a convention at which party insiders will vote on how to divvy up the remaining delegates.
When Darling Nikki lost her state, she proudly announced that the number of voters she got wanted to change. The primary issue was that in South Carolina, she was only popular in heavily Democrat counties ). But we already knew Democrats didn’t want Trump. We also know that Haley is far too entangled with the uniparty to represent anything but a fresh face on an old problem.
The Donald, on the other hand, is far from perfect, but he has a record of doing things that put America and Americans first, and that had resonated in seven straight primary victories with 50% or more of the vote.
Given that this is a Republican Party primary, it might not be in the best interest of Americans or America to accept Haley’s claim that the Democrats voting for her want something different from what we’ve experienced in the past several years. After all, Joe Biden got 81% of the Democrat vote in his Michigan Primary.
