After Super Tuesday, we can see why Vermont may never be a Red State again. Half of Vermont Republicans think Nikki Haley is what America needs, and 1.4% chose Chris Christie. The other Northeast Super Tuesday states went for Trump, as did every other state that voted yesterday.
One amusing machine media note: Rather than sorting the 14 state results alphabetically, as is typical, several I checked led with the only state Haley won: Vermont. That’s almost laugh-out-loud funny, even without Haley leaving the race.
But it doesn’t hide the delegate bloodshed. Trump has secured 1,057 to Haley’s 92. He needs 1,215 to secure the nomination.
All Results are Trump/Haley
Arkansas 77/19
Alabama 88/13
Alaska 88/12
California 79/18
Colorado 63/33
Massachusetts – Trump 60/37
Maine chose Trump 71/26
Minnesota 69/29
Oklahoma 82/16
Tennessee 77/20
Virgina 63/35
Texas 78/17
Utah 58/41
Vermont 46/50
As for Vermont, Haley also won Washington, DC. That’s not a resounding endorsement for the quality of the Republican party in the state to my left. It’s not hopeless. They could one day find their way, but you have to wonder how much better things could get if they escaped Democrat majority rule with a party majority that favors big-government surveillance state central planning Neocons like Haley or Christie.
Neither of whom are in the race. Yes, as noted above, Haley appears to be done.
Nikki Haley will suspend her presidential campaign Wednesday after being soundly defeated across the country on Super Tuesday, according to people familiar with her decision, leaving Donald Trump as the last remaining major candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination.
Three people with direct knowledge who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly confirmed Haley’s decision ahead of an announcement scheduled for Wednesday morning.
As for Vermont, Calvin Coolidge is rolling over in his grave.
