New Hampshire shows how irrelevant open primaries are

Latest Polls (view all)

Now that Kamala Harris has been coronated the Democratic Socialist designee for nomination as their candidate for President of these United States, after that political party's contrived primary process "democratically" elected Joseph R. Biden: What are your feelings about this party's progressive posture within their self-styled exercise of "Saving Democracy for America," and how truly critical the outcome of this presidential election will be?

8.7% I am ecstatic that this "Democracy's" First partially Black, First partially Indian, First female Co-Parent, and this nation's primary necessity is to her elect our First woman president.

26.09% I really do not care about all these "Firsts." I will continue to pray, and work for this Representative Republic to elect someone competent, and brilliantly patriotic to be our next president.

65.22% I will never vote for any politician that "first" does not have the core values to understand how dire this Constitutional Republic's situation has become.

New Hampshire shows how irrelevant open primaries are

CNN's exit polls in New Hampshire showed that Nikki Haley's vote was dominated by non-Republican voters. This trend raises serious questions about how we select candidates for the General Election.

Nikki Haley relied heavily on the support of Independents and Democrats in the New Hampshire primary yet still lost by wide margins.

Of Haley voters in the Granite State, CNN said, “about 7 in 10 said they were registered as undeclared prior to Tuesday.”

CNN relied on an exit poll to make its shocking statement. New Hampshire’s loose requirements allow for voters to cross over, while future Republican caucuses and primaries will consist overwhelmingly of registered Republicans.

Trump crushed Haley in the New Hampshire primary by double digits with results still outstanding. The Associated Press called the New Hampshire results within three minutes.

In Iowa, where Trump won by a historic thirty percent, it took the Associated Press 31 minutes to call the race.

Trump’s path to the nomination seems all but inevitable after his crushing victory. Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Debbie Fischer (R-NE) endorsed Trump within minutes of his victory.

If you accept the win, don't cry about the loss.

Trump won New Hampshire by the biggest margin ever in that state's primary. A landslide in politics is defined as any margin over ten points. And less than a third of Haley's votes in a Republican primary did not even come from actual Republicans. The majority of them came from people who will vote Democrat in November regardless of who the GOP nominee is. Why in heck should they be allowed to vote in our primary?

Big Bob: You are a Leftist. You were told what to say here, whether you realize it or not, and you dutifully parrot the Non Parrot Leftist line.

The Dictator is Biden and his corrupt fools, and guess what: Cheating to get Idiots elected to destroy the Republic will be far more difficult this time around.

I truly believe the Non Patriot Left is finally being to discovered as to what many of us have known since 2008, when Barack Obama was elected, as this Republic's first Non Patriot President, and first Socialist President.

Some believe that the Obamas are pulling the strings of the Idiot President. Regardless, those that are doing this damage to US all, are dually remarkably ignorant, and astonishingly corrupt.

54% to 43%
Not exactly a crush but he did win.

Now, I'm sure all of you accept these results, right? Or was there fraud?. Should we storm the state capitol? Should we sue? Should we cry in our Coco Puffs? Where is Rudy? The Kraken!!!

When trump loses, remember this day. I don't want to hear a word from you babies.

Nikki Haley is a globalist twit financed in part by leftwing Democrats like leftwing megadonor Reid Hoffman. 70% of the the vote she got in New Hampshire according to exit polls was from Democrats and other non-Republicans who were "holding their nose for Haley" to try to hurt Trump. Those who finance this crap should be shunned not only by Trump but by all loyal Republicans. Trump is not shunning those who financed genuine Republicans like Ranaswammy, deSantis, Scott, etc.

The dictator is Biden who is using the usual tactics of dictators against their opponents, trying to kick them off the ballot and / or put them in jail. Putin is one of Biden's role models there.

Dictator trump now will blacklist any one contributing to NH. If this chump wins (he won’t) does anybody doubt that he will turn on each and every oneof us?
None of you will be white enough to withstand what’s coming.

This is the very reason that many activists in North Carolina want to close our primaries to only registered Republicans. There is too much opportunity for mischief from the Democrats with open primaries. There were very active campaigns in both Iowa and New Hampshire to get Democrat-oriented voters to "hold their nose for Haley" to try to hurt Trump. Don't look now, but South Carolina is also an open primary.

In 2008, non-Republicans voting in our primary are what gave us loser John McCain as a nominee. McCain was the one the Democrat hierarchy wanted to run against and they got him. Winning both New Hampshire and South Carolina gave McCain enough momentum that others were unable to stop him. Exit polls showed that if only Republicans were voting, McCain would have lost both states, but it was non-Republicans voting that carried both for McCain. Republican nominatins should be decided by Republicans not by others.
