Going to hazard it's not a great sign for your obvious party nominee when a substantially non-zero portion of your own party's voters come out to make a point of informing everyone that they are not voting for you, even if they have done so multiple times previously, and pledge to support the incumbent president of the opposite party if/when you win the nomination.

#hilary for ts #politics for ts #we literally knew from the jump that trump would be the nominee #that’s not a surprise #what strikes me from IA and now NH is that there *are* a minority (but not insignificant amount) of republican voters who Are Not Doing It #which... etc etc republicans usually rally around the standard #but also the haley voters seem pretty determined they're not going back to trump #88% of NH haley voters would not support trump being the nominee #now look haley sucks #but she sucks in an establishment republican way #and not a trump way #so it does seem empirically inarguable that trump has in fact gone too far for plenty of core GOP voters #and that winning the ever dwindling amount of cult votes (as expected) will not help in the GE #meanwhile biden cruised to victory despite not even being on the ballot #can we get rid of dean phillips now lol #anyway etc etc tea leaves but i think it is interesting this has happened twice in a row #trump is bitterly toxic to everyone who is not still a devoted cultist #and they seem ready to stand behind this #which i will cautiously optimistically bode as a good sign for november #we will see
